Curse Client On Ubuntu Linux
garreth — Thu, 04/16/2009 - 16:43
I used WoWMatrix because they released an addon updater that ran native in Linux. With the death of WoWMatrix (which I do agree with to a point), I've decided to give Curse a shot. So far, it works beautifully in the latest version of Wine (1.1.19 for me).
Things to consider:
- When installing the Curse client, uncheck "Autostart" and "Install Curse Profiler"
- Many of your addons will be flagged as "Unidentified" if you used WoWmatrix. Simply go to the Unidentified tab and reinstall these, or go the "Find" tab, search for the addon and reinstall that way.
- If you installed WoW to its default folder (~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft) then Curse should be able to discover your WoW directory right away.

GridStatusAggro.lua FIX
garreth — Wed, 04/15/2009 - 13:42
This will fix the annoying Grid aggro error that is being thrown in 3.1. This a stop gap until Grid is released out to the major addon sites like WoWInterface and Curse.
- Download the attached zip file.
- Extract/overwrite this Grid folder to the folder: <World of Warcraft Directory>/Interface/Addons
Should be good to go for awhile until they update everything.
For those of you that care about what code changes got made:

Garreth out April 20-24
garreth — Fri, 04/10/2009 - 14:10
I will be in Vancouver, BC from Monday April 20 to Friday April 24 for work training.
That's an entire week I'm out of raiding (and probably Ulduar) so get someone in my spot and keep moving. I'll post the latest FR points file to the raid officer forums. Keep moving.
"Garreff, the points on the site are broken"

So, not having a 9-5 has given me a bit of time to learn the sorts of things that I'm passionate about. One of those things is the content management system that runs this site, Drupal (http://drupal.org). Drupal makes it extremely easy to build web applications that just get right up and start doing "stuff".
A certain "stuff" that I've been promising for years now is the ability to view your raid points on the site. Well, here it is: /frpoints For you raid and guild officers, you can upload your FuriousRaid savedvariables file here: /frpoints/upload.
It's ugly as hell right now, but we'll be making it purty as I get better at this. As for multi-raid pages, we may just work out a sync'ing system in-game and keep it on one big page. I dunno, if I feel inspired, I'll make it more granular.
I'm still gkicking anyone that tells me the points on the site are broken.
