  • Creation and updating of addons

    hi,


    i dont know why, but the questhelper addon references missing icon/image files for the minimap button and therefore the button is rendered without any icon.


    in interface\addons\questhelper\questhelper.xml, replace


    Code
    <NormalTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon_mini"/>
<PushedTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon_mini_push"/>


    with

    Code
    <NormalTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon"/>
<PushedTexture file="Interface/Addons/questhelper/textures/icon"/>


    xml is a text-based file type, so you can edit it with any regular text editor. do yourself a favor and dont use microsoft word :)


    seems like there was an icon update planned, but the required image files were not included in the update.

    this should show the already included image again.


    just restart the client after replacing the texts or reload the UI by writing this in a chat window:


    Code
     /script ReloadUI()


    if youre struggling with opening and changing these files, ill try to attach a working questhelper.xml with the above mentioned fix. just replace the whole file and the icon should appear again.


    //EDIT: cant attach xml files to board posts, so here is a link: https://www.mediafire.com/file…e9oj/questhelper.xml/file

    Hi,

    Spell Description: The skill is capped at level 55, but the descriptions doesnt indicate that at all (unlike other skill descriptions that contain that info at the bottom of the tooltip) (link).

    That seems to be a loca mistake but that doesn't affext anyone so it doesn't really matter.


    uhm - its missing in every language. So its not a error in localization, but in the template.


    Addditionally, making a decision on what matters or not should be left to the ones actually doing the work, dont you think? This section is for reporting bugs, not prioritizing them..

    Rising Tide already has a base Range of 217 (who came up with this odd number?) (link), making this a total increase of 8 range units..
    since Rising Tide is supposed to be used as a Flame-Alternative (at least it seems to be), giving it the same range as Flame seems like a logical and good improvement.

    Rising Tide is not a flame alternative but an additional fireball, since rising tide also becomes an instant spell. Fireball has a range of 225 and so does rising tide, which is fine.


    correct, what i meant was Tide Burst. Tide Burst is supposed to be used as an alternative to Flame, not Rising Tide (judging by casttime and overall elite skills). Mixed those up, thanks for clarifying.

    Hi there,


    it seems that, with the rework, the spell hasnt been adjusted correctly.


    From what i can see:

    • Spell Description: The skill is capped at level 55, but the descriptions doesnt indicate that at all (unlike other skill descriptions that contain that info at the bottom of the tooltip) (link).
    • Range: Maybe i dont understand this correctly, but did you guys intentionally rise the range of "Rising Tide" to 225, and not Tide Burst?
      • Rising Tide already has a base Range of 217 (who came up with this odd number?) (link), making this a total increase of 8 range units..
      • since Rising Tide Tide Burst is supposed to be used as a Flame-Alternative (at least it seems to be), giving it the same range as Flame seems like a logical and good improvement.
        • Furthermore, Tide Bursts range is only 150. If its supposed to be used like Flame, having the same range as Flame would be beneficial, and i think that was the actual goal here..

    Thanks for having a look at this. (Im not sure whether this is a problem of localization or the description template itself, so im posting it here. Hope thats okay)


    Best Regards,
