whats the main obstacle, maybe others (like me) can help get it up and running again
its an extremely useful addon for long term gear planning too, thats why i want it again so bad
i been checking out the sites and other methods for doing it and NONE OF THEM are updated, some arent even remotely close, i think wowequip is probably the most likely way to have working again cause all of the gear is just right there in the game
id be willing to help out but id need some clue what the show stoppers are
- Updating obselete code that works in 2.4 but not in 3.0 due to base UI changes.
- Refactoring all the changes that occurred in standardizing ratings such as merging of hit/crit/haste ratings. This is NOT trivial.
- Probably needs complete reoganization of how the menus are laid out.
- Needs updates to the way stats are detected on every item's tooltip.
- Manually updating talents to Wrath.
WoWEquip itself took 2 months to write initially, and a rewrite of this magnitude would take just about as much time.
Ratingbuster is different, it just needs to scan the player's talents to see what he has. WoWEquip, instead has to allow players to choose what talents he wants.
I've been playing this game since classic beta and I registered here just to tell you how much I miss this addon. This was one of the most useful addons i've ever had. I really hope you can find the time to update it for wotlk!
I was going to suggest export support for Enhsim and other sims so you can change your gear around in wowequip then export the new values it gives you straight into your favourite sim and sim the changes away.

Below the "IMPORTANT NOTE", you should only modify the strings that are in
t = "localize this"
Copy the entirety of the enUS file basically into the deDE one.
Does this count for the enGB version aswell? just loged on and it dint work .. i see the button at the dressing room but when i click it my frames just reset :neutral:and the dressing room takes of :eek: ... ill give it a try and when it works ill edit this post ^^
but ... if it helps ... DUN FORGET THE enBG VERSION ;)
EDIT: ok this was fast ^^ it works now well the frames stay, but when the character tab is closed and you close and reopen the dressing room the char is gone and the the buttons lost tekst and you cant press them anymore, those on the WoWequip frame stay tho.
Thx for your great work.
Time... don't really have it.
Motivation... have a bit.

and maybe even
Im not sure but isnt this exactly what rating buster does already?
Maybe just look at what whitetooth changed for wotlk?
/cheer !!!
It's about 90% done now, but it requires a number of 3.1 specific updates.
