Are there any plans for a TBC update? Appreciate we're still in early stages of beta, but current error is:

Thanks for all your work on this during classic!

Hi guys,

Sorry about the silence worked a lot on the 2.0.0 release for gearmenu.

I also put some thought in how I want to continue development for gearmenu with burning crusade classic coming out. I decided to have this in a separate repository because I think the addon will diverge more and more from the classic version with time passing and I don't want to have if classic else blocks all over the place.

You can find the bcc repository here if you're interested - https://github.com/RagedUnicorn/wow-bcc-gearmenu

For all the people that are not interested in the code this should be fully transparent. The project will be the same on curseforge. There will be a new version showing up with the supprted version 2.5.1(tbc). An example for that you can see here https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pulse/files

I also found some additional issues besides the obvious BackdropTemplate change and fixed those. I currently have a fully working version commited to the new wow-bcc-gearmenu repository (no release yet) and doing last tests on the ptr server. Meaning you should expect to have a version ready for the prepatch.

Cheers,
RagedUnicorn

Closing this. The version is available and seems to be working.

Cheers,
RagedUnicorn

Hi @padkipz

You're welcome. I didn't play much classic lately but will definitely be back with TBC and thus I can say that yes GearMenu will support TBC (I want it myself :)).

Sadly I don't have access to the beta myself but the issue above I already saw and should be an easy fix. Overall I don't expect a lot of work for it to work on tbc. I might start working on the update in a couple days. If there are people that read this, have access to the beta and are willing to support me please let me know. Then I might be able to add first versions to this ticket to try out.

Thanks for the quick response!

I have access to the beta myself and am more than willing to help out if I can.

seems to be super easy.

changed files:

GM_GearBar.lua

 91:      local gearSlot = CreateFrame(
 92:        "Button",
 93:        RGGM_CONSTANTS.ELEMENT_GEAR_BAR_SLOT .. position,
 94:        gearBarFrame,
 95:        "SecureActionButtonTemplate" and "BackdropTemplateMixin" and "BackdropTemplate"
  )

GM_UiHelper.lua

97: local highlightFrame = CreateFrame("FRAME", nil, slot, "BackdropTemplateMixin" and "BackdropTemplate")

GM_ChangeMenu.lua

51: changeMenuFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", RGGM_CONSTANTS.ELEMENT_GEAR_BAR_CHANGE_FRAME, gearBarFrame, "BackdropTemplateMixin" and "BackdropTemplate")
102: local changeSlot = CreateFrame("Button", RGGM_CONSTANTS.ELEMENT_GEAR_BAR_SLOT .. position, frame, "BackdropTemplateMixin" and "BackdropTemplate")

i don't know how curseforge works here and u prolly need to declare someting to new to have a tbc version of the addon...
