Question about 3.10 and addons

So after 3.10 was finished installing all of my addons were listed as 'out of date'. I reset my UI (deleted WTF, Interface and Cache folders and rebooted), downloaded the curse client & hit the update button..but still all addons are 'out of date'. I can load them, I'm just curious if others have had this problem and what the solution is? Is it just a matter of the folks who made these addons doing some work at it will resolve itself over time (and through their hard work)?

 

Thanks

Might be because the authors of your addons is European players. We recieve patches 1 day after USA so they are one day behind on updating addons :)

Have patience..

Quest helper has been updated; redownload and reinstall. I don't know about others, still checking on others myself.

I use auctioneer, cartographer and omen3. They seem to be working, I was just wondering what it all meant.

as usual the TOC changed

so you need to check the "load out of date addons"

most of them should work, but some might not as there were changes to the api

Is all of this Blizzard pointing its finger and saying dont even think about it. Premium services and such, if they said sure charge a premium for adds, htey would have something similar to a D20 Lisence, where 3rd parties can profit off another product

The reason you get "out of date addons" is because of the way the game version interacts withs addons, even the Blizzard ones. In the .toc (table of contents) file, you will see a line that says:

Code:
## Interface: xxxxx
where "xxxxx" is the version of the game that the addon is listed as compatible.

Addons for 3.0.2 - 3.0.9 of WoW had

Code:
## Interface: 30000
listed there, and addons updated to Ulduar would be
Code:
## Interface: 30100

However, sometimes there is no need to update an addon, as it works just fine in current form. I have seen addons listed for WoW 2.33 that continue to throw zero errors. Also, changing that line in the .toc will NOT automatically update the addon if patch 3.10 "broke" it; if that is the case, then the .lua files (the actual addon code that does something in game) will need to be updated, fixed, changed, etc. "Breaking" is caused by Blizzard removing, changing, adding, or otherwise altering the command code that the addon uses to do whatever it does.

good poiint so blizz needs to fix their add ons too, now i technically pay for those they better snap to it. i actually had some of those disabled

You should never, ever have any Blizzard_ addons disabled, since every addon that customizes the look or operation of those depends on their existance. You would get errors.

I haven't checked, but one would assume that the Blizzard_ addons' .toc files were updated with yesterday's patch. Unless, of course, they did not need to be updated.
