Quest Helper Broken

Okay, so I downloaded the patch today (ZOMG I HAVE A MOUNT WOOT), but it broke Quest Helper. I get an error that says there's no parent directory (or 'nil' value for parent) for fonts and uhh... something else that I suddenly can't remember, terrain I *think*. But, it was working perfectly before the patch.



So... does anyone have plans to update QuestHelper for the patch? I really need it... I'm still learning the world, and have no idea where anything is without it! lol

Blizzard is working on the problem that causes the addons to automatically Crash. And if Blizzard doesn't fix it first, a new version of QH will be released that bypasses the problem. So just be patiant.

But... but... I have no patience! I need it NOW! *chuckle*



I figured I'd have to wait awhile, but was just curious about it, especially since the patches almost always break at least a couple of addons. lol

Well, I'm having same issue...I even asked in the trade channel if anyone had QuestHelper and if they were having trouble...No one responded. Nice to know it isn't my computer acting up...lol

Bummer. And I was getting so used to relying on Questhelper. Too bad WOW/Blizzard shot it out of the water. Guess since they aren't getting any $$$ for it, there's no reason to worry about it. Sounds kinda like MS, eh?



I'll wait. Hopefully not too long though lol. My wife doesn't let me play long nowdays.

Here is a fixed version of questhelper that works with the new patch.

Oy, for some reason it took me a while before i realized, wtf I have no quest helper!! :O :O :O :O So is this a Blizz prob from the new patch or do we need a new version of QH? If its Blizz's fault, what's new? Blizz always screws up my fun in wow! Like 30 mounts a couple weeks later when I payed like 85g for mount and training at 40 (51 now) and all the lvl 30's only have to pay like 43g >:(



If we need a new QH, i'm very impatient so we better get one PRONTO, ASAP, NOW NOW NOW.

Open recycle.lua and change every line that says:



tex:SetParent(nil)



to



-- tex:SetParent(nil)



This is just a rough fix and won't stop all errors from QuestHelper, but it helps just enough for it to work with its basic functions. Depending on the version you have, you should only have 2 or 3 lines to replace. (lines 150, 218, and 330ish I think)

without QH i hardly feel like playing WOW, it's the only thing that makes questing fun, otherwise you spend hours on one quest
