Spring Break

Oh yeah,
It's spring break and I'm at home--parents picked me up but I'm taking the bus back to college-- so no comp w/ WoW for me :(
Hope everyone's adventures go well (with minimal wipes, but enough hap-hazardous events to keep them engaging!)
I may install Starcraft on this comp if anyone is up for some casual gaming on there.

Can't run WoW on the home comp??

Well it's got a worm or something (even an internet browser is laggy)
And there's the HDD space that it would take up :(

Hey Bram weren't you the one who was always into Ogre Battle? It's on the Wii VC now!

Thanks for letting me take bramb to nax last night. I might have moved a couple hot keys around (sorry!) but you've got some t7 shoulders chilling in your bags now. BALLIN.

lol, thnx toast, and hopefully you didn't get a stroke from my chaotic assortment of odds and ends (I'll take a look at your hotkey arrangements when i get back on next week, but I only started using hotkeys in wotlk...well maybe 1/2 way through BT
Thanks again for the T7 shoulders too (token or feral atm?)
@Qyn....that's some of the best new ever!!!! I'll need to find that 2k wii-points card i have and get that game once i get back to college!!
Yeah, it's my fav--but to be fair the gameplay is like a miox btwn RTS and RPG but is sorta chess based too (not really action orientated combat) so prolly not a game for ppl who tend towards more hands on combat
/checks link
Woah--the Snes one
Well it's not OB 64, but I'm still prolly gonna get that one (it'll be fun to see the differences and play through the story line of that previous game)--I think March of the Back Queen takes place in Zenobia? (also pun found: "March" of the Black Queen...being reeleased in March)

Ok c u ppl (or type you later) ppl!
EDIT: for those who don't have minor dislexia >.<

They're just a token right now. I figured you could turn them in for whatever spec you wanted.

Also, I use Bartender for my bars, so I just stacked three bars centered on the bottom of the screen, moved the tanking abilities I would use to the first 1-4 of those bars (so I could use 1-4, shift+1-4, and control+1-4 ). The rest I just left alone and hotkeyed to keys I'm familiar using on my druid so I wouldn't have to move them (nature's grasp, barkskin, etc). I left your kitty and human bars alone, except I think the bottom left extra action bar has tanking abilities now. Should be easy to fix. I could even swap them back if we finish out that nax ID sometime this weekend.

Hmm...I'll make a note to get this bartender when I get back to college too, do you have a CS of what it looks like?
Thanks

You mean screenshot? Sure!

I just use xperl, bartender, and prat.

Crazy Rambles

Ah that's nice to have those 3 action bars stacked
Thanks for the CS examples!

What does CS stand for? o_o

Crazy Rambles's picture

Crazy Rambles

Ummm....it stands for Screen shot--except I think I intended to type out SS and it came out CS...maybe b/c my subconscious was worried of invoking a SS trooper or some such? (sCreen Shot perhaps?)

basically: >.<

In his spare time Bram enjoys coming up with confusing abbreviations for everything. And since he's home without a computer that can run WoW he's got lots of spare time!

Crazy Rambles's picture

Crazy Rambles

aw, I came up with a really nice abbrev to a statement last night--but I've forgotten it! >.<
Maybe i'll remember it later...

Sorry, Brambles, additional "not going insane" instances cannot currently be launched.

It seems DLing the mods from curse failed (put a msg on the FS site too)
I dunno what to do to get the mods to show up in the addons screen in WoW, it seems like I prolly need to do something to "refresh" it or something

What?

Crazy Rambles

The add-on menu at the character select screen doesn't show I've added/removed add-ons since way back

Qyn's picture

Qyn

So addons you're unzipping into your 'drive:\warcraft directory\interface\addons' directory aren't showing up in your add-ons menu?

How are they failing to download from Curse? Are you using the auto downloader thing?

Crazy Rambles's picture

Crazy Rambles

I'm manually downloading them since I don't think I have the curse client, and when I tried the auto-install it acted like a button one cannot actually click.
But I am downloading them and unzipping them w/o probs (or at least any error messages)
It's just that when I get on WoW and go to the add-ons menu they don't appear (and also note some of the add-ons I have not used, and have been deleted still show up there)

The only thing i can think of that causes this would be it is somehow being blocked by the Blizz downloader?

Qyn's picture

Qyn

The blizzard downloader just downloads stuff...if your addons aren't appearing in the menu then you're not putting them in the correct directory. They should go into /interface/addons and be folders with things like .loc and .lua files in them.

I think it's an error with WoW since I followed alet's qyns and toast's instructions and tried various possibilities with them. I'll try post-patch to see if that jostles the glitch out of my system

Time for a fresh install!
