You are still checking those links before a user has set a path or even has pressed wanted to check for update and its still those old versions and that is for shadowlands?, why? I don't know?

This is during the startup where you echo the fetching addons data that takes time 3-5 seconds which make sense with the urls you are pulling

At 1.10 I start the program for the second time while having the other window open that shows you pull this data.


You also write this file every time on startup with unnecessary nuget logs :)

C:\temp\console-example-internal.log

Aslo may I suggest a autoclose window when update is done and as a bonus a little tiny windows beep as optional too, if its not too much to ask for :)
The reason it checks those links twice is because the first call is to determine if the link returns a 404 error, or any other type of error. If it does that, a fallback link will be chosen.
The second call is to get the file info from the link, such as the upload date.
Then it caches that data.

There's a reason I cache it throughout the lifetime of the program. It's like I said, it's so it doesn't make even more calls to those links unnecessarily when entering the install/update menu (such as when an update has installed, or when an addon is installed, it usually navigates back to the install menu, and triggers check for updates. That's why I cache it, because the user will usually just open the program, enter the install/update menu, and then update addons. Then finally close the app. There's no reason to keep checking for fresh data multiple times in the lifetime of the program, because it so short anyway. So I'm saving a few calls by doing it this way :-)

And whenever you open the program, it will always get fresh data. The cached data is only cached for the lifetime of the program.

However, I can rearrange some parts of the code so it only checks and caches data if the user has set a path, and only for the installed versions of WoW :-) Then it's a few less checks indeed, and it will speed up fetching addon data because it only checks and caches the link for the game's you have installed only :-)

About auto closing when update is done. There's already a feature that allows for that. It got introduced in v2.2 if I remember correctly. I just forgot to include the instructions in the latest post :-)
To get it to auto update and then close after, you have to run the program with the argument
-autoupdate.

About the log file. I don't personally write to it. I actually think that's a leftover file that I forgot to remove from the logger's config file :-)

I appreciate the feedback.

EDIT: Yeah I just checked, I forgot to remove the reference to the console-example-internal.log file.

I downloaded the profile, setted it up but I don't get how to use it. Should I only use the sniper funcion? Or should I browse? Also, why are only the dynamic groups filled with items? Should I manually add stuff to the low/medium/high demand sections? Also, if the sniper function is what I should be using, how should I be using it? What should I buy, and until what %?
Thanks in advance

I appreciate you sharing this and help organize them all, there is quite a lot here.

On WOTLK I tried RestedXP, then Zygor, and then Dugi and all worked without issue; I have to say that I think I prefer Dugi, at least for leveling. It has a UI that blends in nicely with the default WoW UI so that's a plus and the 3D model preview of objectives is a great feature.

If we wish to update the addons, do we just need to pull the latest version from their addon pages on CurseForge? Or shall we wait for further updates to be shared here. I'm presuming unless they add or change the guides themselves then I can simply just update from CurseForge, right?

Thanks for being patient with everyone.

You can update via curseforge. But that would only give you the free guides only, erasing the paid content.

If you use my links each time, it will give you the paid content in the free addon.

Error Log File for Zygor Updater : [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Updated to the 2.4 client(found [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...])

Set wow directory as normal (-:\---\World of Warcraft\)

Now I'm having some issues. It's probably something dumb I messed up somewhere, but any help is appreciated.

Long time user, love the job you and 911Sky do for some grateful(and occasionally ungrateful) folks!

DISCONTINUED!

I suggest doing a completely clean install of the program. (Delete the old version, and extract the new version after).

Hmm, that log looks like it's from the old version v2.2. Try delete all old files of the updater, and then extract the 2.4 version again (or the new one I just released v2.4.1). Both should work.

Obvious solution seems to be the correct one. Thanks babe!

911 has been great, I had a couple technical difficulties on my end that he helped work out. Now running smooth and ready to game! Thanks 911!!!!
