Curse

Error I'm seeing with 5.2.0.  Only seeing it on my Rogue at this time, but have not seen it on my Hunter as of two days ago.

Hope this helps.

I would also be willing to kick in financially if someone picks this project up.  It was a great addon!

I am wondering what it would take financially to update this addon, it is one of my favorites as well, I am willing to donate for the project to be updated for a reasonable cost

any news about the addon?

since this great addon may not be updated ever again does any one knows a good alternative?

Part of the Errors you're seeing are the result of the changes to the Talent Tree, this is causing a problem as a result of the LAU code finding what spec you are by which talent tree had the most (max) points. I believe this information can now but obtain via new APIs for MoP ... HOWEVER, most of these APIs are still undocumented so it's unclear how to get this info.

I believe that DfD can be JURY RIGGED to "techincally" function again - meaning to run without any loading errors - HOWEVER, EarendilJenkins is right, since the code for the rotation is written in seperate files and not in LUA everything would be out of date and there is no telling what EarendilJenkins has written in the rotation code that might still use APIs that are out of date.

So, Please do not say... Maarc, you are the MAN! Cause I am not! I have a good idea on how things should function logically, so I can kinda hammer my way thru some LAU code to figure out what is wrong, BUT I do not know Bison or Flex and I have never been good at C. So I don't know about the future of DfD.

EarendilJenkins,

I'm flattered, and if I was still unemployed and looking for something to do after doing my daily job searches and before logging on and playing WoW, I'd jump on this right away, BUT I just started a new job up in Winston-Salem, NC today so I'm going to be busy until the end of April at the very least.

I think, the project could subdivide and parted out for maintenance something like this:

• 1 Experienced Project Manager, who would divide up the project and part it out - you would be best for this EarendilJenkins
• 1 Experienced LAU AddOn developer for the patch code and logic
• 6+ Class Theorists, these are players who can distill the rotations down to a logical... IF <condition> THEN <spell>, etc ... format.
• 3+ Bison/C programmers who can take the spell rotations from the Class Theorists and convert it into code.
• 3+ Testers to provide feedback on the changes to the Project Manager.

I think this in the end would be the best way to keep everybody happy, and keep the project alive with the least amount of trouble.

Well after ALL that - I will revisit this Superior addon in April.  There is Brillance displayed in here.  I am Very interested in using this addon.  

If you look above there are several offers of financial support that "could" be useful (Mark?) LoL!.

Would be nice if this would be updated by someone (preferably the author) for Wow 5.0.4.

This type of errors are been shown when I logged with my lvl 2 rogue:
