MobMap v3.41

With the German servers slowly coming back online, I finally had the opportunity to investigate the first bug reports concerning primarily the quest tracker. I revealed a nasty bug that caused the tracker to do irratic stuff, like not updating properly, or sometimes not even display anything at all, as well as not responding to clicks - I'm truly wondering how I could miss that one on the beta servers, I'd even swear it wasn't there when I tested MobMap 3.40 on the PTR.

However, the bug is found and fixed and a new release, version 3.41, went online right now. The quest tracker should work fine again in that release (I hope so, at least). If you encounter any other bugs, just leave me a message below this posting...let the post-patch-debugging madness begin ;-)

[edit] I just saw that the installer package was still happily delivering version 3.33 of the addon. Saw it and fixed it - you'll now get the newest version in that package right from the start.

    Hey I just wanted to follow up and say thank you! As a fellow programmer I unfortunately know how easy it is to miss bugs :)

    Thanks for the awesome addon and keep up the good work!

    Thanks for this Mod sir ! I used to do some programming and I know what a headache debugging can be and how easily something that works on a test server can go completely bonkers on a live server . You're doing a great job !

    Here was the errors i found and fixed. you might want to include in a fix.

    This is what i changed my code to:

    groupline.titlebutton:SetNormalFontObject(QuestDifficultyColor["header"].font);

    Here is the original:

    groupline.titlebutton:SetNormalFontObject(QuestDifficultyColors["header"].font);

    The diference is the simple letters after QuestDifficultyColor Blizzard changed it on you.

    The other thing i added was to the top of the code another change by blizzard:

    -- Pre 3.2.0 compatability support
    local wow_320 = select(4, GetBuildInfo()) >= 30200
    local GetQuestDifficultyColor
    if not wow_320 then
    GetQuestDifficultyColor = _G.GetDifficultyColor
    else
    GetQuestDifficultyColor = _G.GetQuestDifficultyColor
    end

    Well, thanks for the fixes - but somehow I don't get the point...What's the point in pre 3.2 compatibility? If it's about private servers: I'm sorry, but I don't support those in any way and won't spend even a single line of code for "backwards compatibility" in that case.

    Awesome! This explains why a friend of mine was having troubles with it when mine was working just fine. I'll get him to update again. Thanks for the best addon on the world!
