Note regarding CallToArms (getting latest TBC version)
Arcitec opened this issue · 0 comments
@Apollyonn I saw that you posted a skin a month ago, with the notice "CallToArms r13". That's an ancient Vanilla WoW version from Dec 2006: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/project-829/files
The latest version for TBC can be gotten by doing this:
-
Download r54 from here: https://www.wowace.com/projects/call-to-arms/files (This is from Nov 2008).
-
Download r58 from the SAME page.
-
Unpack r54 to your WoW Addons folder.
-
Copy CTALocalization.lua from r58 to your addon's folder, overwriting the r54 version of that file ONLY.
This achieves the following:
- r54 has the final addon code that's still compatible with the Burning Crusade client. The r58 code is not compatible (the only code-difference in r58 is that it now uses WoW 3.x's new event handling system instead of TBC's... basically just changes function argument orders a bit...).
- r58 added some missing BC dungeons and raids (everything released after Karazhan) to CTALocalization.lua. That's why we overwrite that file.
I thought about making a Github repo where I had done this merge, but I don't use CallToArms so I didn't release these fixes.
I tried out the addon today, and I remember actively using it in the TBC days... But I find CallToArms very obnoxious since it does a /who on a person every time someone writes a LF/LFM/LFG message. And those "who is this person?" requests always cause a "Who" window to pop up on screen. So in the middle of questing or raiding, it disrupts everything by showing me Who-results for random people I don't care about.
The best feature of CTA is that it detects and lists every person who has been asking for groups/more people recently. But to me it's not worth the "/who" annoyance.
Anyway, I wanted to share this info for those who do use CallToArms. Enjoy!
