Chronometer issues

[Cke1]

I've experienced this problem even before the patch when I start a new character. It appears to me that the layout information for Antagonist and Chronometer isn't making it's way to the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<account>\<realm>\<character>\layout-cache.txt file.

I'm only seeing one entry in my layout-cache.txt for Antagonist and none for Chronometer:

Frame: AntagonistBar1
FrameLevel: 1
Anchor: CENTER
X: 0
Y: 290
W: 100
H: 25

What I did in the past was cut-n-paste the Antagonist/Chronometer entries from a character that I knew worked, but I'm not certain if that's the correct thing to do.

I am pretty sure someone found out a while ago its a problem of interaction with hourglass and chronometer try tempoarily disabling hourglass then mazzify then reenable hourglass

[DeTard]

That's a good idea... Guys, if this works for you, please let me know so I can put that in a list of common things to check on if people are having problems.

Thanks

I tried and that didn't seem to work.

Woot!, It worked. Chronometer is now fixed and in the correct position.

I took the old layout-cache.txt file, found this....

Frame: AntagonistBar2
FrameLevel: 1
Anchor: CENTER
X: 213
Y: -196
W: 100
H: 25
Frame: AntagonistBar3
FrameLevel: 1
Anchor: CENTER
X: 343
Y: -196
W: 100
H: 25
Frame: ChronometerAnchor
FrameLevel: 1
Anchor: CENTER
X: -204
Y: -196
W: 200
H: 25

and pasted it into the new layout-cache.txt. I then started the game up and ran /chron test and /ant test. Both are in the correct position!

Thanks for the temporary solution, I hope this helps Detard figure out a permanent one!

[DeTard]

I almost have this fixed guys.... It is indeed a problem with Hourglass. I had to revert to an older version of it to make Chronometer work at all. I WISH I could upload a small change file for everything that is different with what I'm working with but it has a LOT of changes involving libraries (removed some unused ones, amongst other things) so it might load oh so very slightly faster now.

[Quagnome]

It seems that I have the exact same problem (although it's the only one I have !!!!)

Is there anyway you can explain what you did in liamens terms?

I don't know how to open or edit the layout-cache.txt file

please help.....

[Quagnome]

wait!?!? so it's fixed?

[DeTard]

In a few minutes, yes. But unfortunately it means you will have to redownload the new version of the compilation as there are several library changes as well as any updates as of today (I wasn't exactly discriminate in rebuilding and updating the addons this evening), and removed at least a couple libraries that aren't needed.

[Quagnome]

Your the man DeTard!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this....unfortunatly I can only afford about 100G in WOW dollars (no I'm not addicted)

[DeTard]

At the moment, I'd probably settle for some wool bags on my lowbie. LOL

[Berrian]

Has there been a recent fix for this problem? I have tried everything I can research/find on these forums. Disabled Hourglass AND Antagonist. Remazzifying gets me the same message with whatever I try.

[Banalina902]

Do you have a mage alt that uses Cryolysis? Someone else found out that whenever their mage zoned in, the portal bars timers would pop up, and it looked kinda (not exactly) the same as yours. Don't remember if there was a fix, but try a search in the forum.

[blugh]

I fixed mine.. i used the windows search function to find every lil file that had to do with chronometer and delted it.. i than when to files.wowace.com and downloaded the newest copy and it works great now just make sure you get ever file that has to do with chronometer

[Berrian]

Thanks for the info Blugh. That did the trick!
