3.3 LFG button hidden when carbonite enabled.

As the post title says, carbonite hides the LFG button when queue'd with the new dungeon finder system and theres no way through the settings to get it to display.

I thought so, nice to know it wasn't just me. Since dungeons are/were buggy after the patch, the minimap button seems to be the only fix, but you're right, I can't get it to show.

I'm having the same problem... so with Carbonite enabled there's no way to teleport to a dungeon via the "Dungeon Finder". At least not that I can see. If anybody knows a solution please post.

Thanks

Exclamation De-Merge the MiniMap

For some reason, the LFG icon doesn't fall into the Carbonite button menu. So the only way to use the LFG feature is to separate Carbonite from the MiniMap. It will still show up on the MiniMap as long as you don't have it merged, even with the button menu on.

This new button appears to be part of the blizzard mini map frame and not its own separate button. If someone could figure out the script to "Teleport to and from the instance" you could make a macro for it.

I did 2 runs using the Dungeon finder so far. It asked me to teleport each time. I figured there may be a missing minimap button, but had not looked for it yet.

I fixed it. Will be in next version.

You can hack it yourself in the meantime by searching in Carbonite.lua for
"MiniMapBattlefieldFrame", and adding "MiniMapLFGFrame", after it.

Line end would be >>> "MiniMapBattlefieldFrame","MiniMapLFGFrame",}

Quotes are required.

Thank you! So far it has worked for me. Still have to test the "enter instance" from the button. But it has at least showed up for me with the rest of the minimap buttons. Thanks again!!

Great. Let us know if you have any further problems with it. Hope to have a bug fix release by this weekend.

The sun will be coming up and I'm off to sleep. I'll check the forums again tomorrow afternoon.

You can open up .lua files using any text editor you'd like.

I personally recommend Textpad. Its free to evaluate, and the low purchase price of the software is a great deal for what you get.

Here's a link directly to their homepage: http://www.textpad.com/

For Visual Studio users ( Express is free ) there is an add in that lets you edit WOW Lua projects. It can be done there even though it's overkill.

It works very well.

Thanks for the advice on fixing this problem with LFG button. For those of you just now looking into this.....

find the lua file in the carbonite folder....

open it up...

click "edit"

search for "MiniMapBattlefieldFrame"

copy/paste "MiniMapLFGFrame" just after the comma

save and close the lua

good to go

I did exactly as you said. It is not working for me. Can you post a pic of what I SHOULD be looking for on the mini map?







edit: Here is the entire modified line from my Carbonite.lua

{"NXMiniMapBut","GameTimeFrame","TimeManagerClockButton","MiniMapWorldMapButton","MiniMapMailFrame","MiniMapTracking","MiniMapVoiceChatFrame","MiniMapBattlefieldFrame","MiniMapLFGFrame",}

/click MiniMapLFGFrame

Make this into a macro for a temporary quick-fix

Looks like it is doing what Carbonite can do, except Carbonite does not put a big window frame around the buttons, which I would not want myself.

What addon is that?
