About MobInfo-2 Browser

If you are like me, then you probably have a fairly large database of Mobs gathered by MobInfo2. Ever wish you could browse that database and see who dropped what and see who's giving you the best loot with the most experience? MobInfo2 Browser will easily let you browse, search and sort that database. Additionally, it will record the zone and location coordinates of where you last made your kill, so now searching for a high value, high experience mob at your level in Tanaris has never been easier. Clicking on an entry (if a location has been gathered) will bring up the map and show you where that baddie was killed.

MobInfo2 Browser is meant to accompany the wonderful addon MobInfo2 by giving you more ways to search, browse and sort through your database. A great big thanks goes out to the wonderful authors that have made MobInfo2 what it is today: Wyv, Telo, Dizzarian and the current master of mobs, Skeeve. Thanks guys.

== How to Use ==
TO OPEN THE BROWSER
USE THE SLASH COMMAND:
/mi2b

BIND A KEY:
Go to "Main Menu" then "Key Bindings" and scroll down until you find the "MobInfo 2 Browser" entry. Bind a key to "Open MobInfo 2 Browser".

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Actually Daghol's solution doesn't really work very well. The idea was good however.
in my version my changes looks like this.

In Mobinfo2_Browser\mobinfo2_browser.lua, line 136 replace
```
   local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel )
```
local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel )

with
```
   local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel, "target" ) 
```
local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel, "target" )

Also if you get errors when searching for Item Names you need to modify line 496.
Replace
```
   local itemText = MI2_GetLootItemString(itemID)
```
local itemText = MI2_GetLootItemString(itemID)

with
```
   local itemText = MI2_GetLootItem(itemID)
```
local itemText = MI2_GetLootItem(itemID)

In Mobinfo2\mobinfo2.lua, line 224 add the following local variable
```
  local unitId = "target"
```
local unitId = "target"

Hi If someone is having problems with displaying the health in the browser (v1.31) here is my solution to this little problem.

In Mobinfo2_Browser mobinfo2_browser.lua, line 136 replace

   local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel )

with

   local mobData = MI2_GetMobData( mobName, mobLevel, "browser" )

In Mobinfo2 mobinfo2.lua, line 167 replace

   if unitId then
       MI2_GetUnitBasedMobData( mobIndex, mobData, unitId, mobLevel )
   end

With

   if unitId then
       if unitId = "browser" then
           MI2_GetUnitBasedMobData( mobIndex, mobData )
       else
           MI2_GetUnitBasedMobData( mobIndex, mobData, unitId, mobLevel )
       end
   end

I test it with a few mob and works great.

Hope it help

Daghol

Hi@all.

Just a small question: do you see any chance of updating (at least the TOC-number) to patch 2.4 ??? It would be nice to see an up-to-date addon ;-)

@Skeeve: thx for your great addon

Hi everyone,

Version 1.31 fixes a bug caused by the newest MobInfo version 3.45. So if you update your MobInfo to 3.45 or better then please also update MobInfo-Browser to 1.31.

Hi everyone,
I know this AddOn doesn't get updated that often, but see it as a good sign : it simply works very well :-)
Nevertheless here is an overdue update for compatibility with the newest WoW patch 2.2 and also due to slight changes that I made to MobInfo. Note that the new version 1.30 will only work with MobInfo 3.40 and better.
In case you really like MobInfo or MobInfo-Browser:
- please do not forget to VOTE
Regards, Skeeve

Hi everyone,
The new version 1.26 is just a compatibility update so that MobInfo Browser is shown correctly as compatible with WoW 2.1.0. As far as I could see it works just fine with the newest WoW.

Hi all,
The MobInfo2 browser is now fully updated to support both WoW in its newest version (2.03 and above) and the newest version of MobInfo2 (3.15 an better). Enjoy :-)

I am running FuBar 2.0 with a lot of FuBar addons together with Mobinfo-2 v3.15 and MobInfo-2 Browser v1.24 and definitely NO problems with Fubar (or anything else for that matter)

Hi janwing,
Woha, that must be one of the strangest bug reports so far. How on earth should MobInfo_Browser have such a drastic impact on FuBar ? Maybe a collision between global names ? My problem here is that I do not use FuBar, so it will be quite difficult for me to test this.
Could you please test to ensure that this problem really is caused by MobInfo_Browser ? To test please deactivate all other AddOns and run only MobInfo_Browserand FuBar and one plugin.
Skeeve

Serious conflict with Fu-Bar. When MobInfo-2 Browser is enabled Fu-bar looses all plug-ins in the bar.
Hopefully you can fix this

Hi all,
Sorry, folks, version 1.23 had two bugs in it that I totally failed to notice. That should teach me to make "quick and simple" changes without testing them.
The new version 1.24 is thoroughly tested and fixes the two bugs. It is (finally) fully compatible with both WoW 2.0 and TBC.
