Updates
Fixes, additions, and improvements shipped to IceDNicco.
If the world disconnects or restarts, bots that were in your party or raid log back into the game one at a time, 8 seconds apart. You do not need to leave the group or re-invite them.
If a creature cannot path to you (slope, navmesh hole, bot a few yards off the mesh) it now steps to you instead of resetting to full HP. Bosses, battlegrounds and arenas are unchanged.
Goretusks in Westfall were resetting to full HP when a bot stood slightly off the ground mesh (and the adult goretusk was wrongly marked civilian). They stay in the fight now.
When you invite a world bot, it joins your group and appears next to you (not in battlegrounds or arenas).
If the client drops (not /camp) during a live battleground or arena, the character stays in that match for 15 minutes. Log in again and you are back in the same fight. After a world restart the match is gone — you are queued for a new one as soon as you log in (bots fill).
World bots group up with each other. Inviting one used to fail with “already in a group”. A real player invite now takes that bot out of a bot-only party.
12.09.22 was quests only. 12.09.23 adds ~12k gossip hashes and ~63k NPC lines taken from this realm (English + Russian keys → Ukrainian). Chat after login: квестів=12859 gossip=11965 реплік=63468. Then /wowtr debug.
Previous zips shipped retail 90MB Lua tables. Wrath cannot load them, so nothing translated. 12.09.22 loads only 12.8k WotLK quests in 7 small files and keeps rewriting the old quest window. After update you must see chat: WOW-UKRAINE 12.09.22 … квестів=12859. Then /wowtr debug.
The addon now writes into Wrath FontStrings (QuestTitleText, QuestDescription, GossipTitleButton, QuestLogQuestTitle), hooks SelectQuestLogEntry, and looks up quest ID by EN/RU title because GetQuestID() does not exist on 3.3.5a. Update in the launcher, then /reload.
The first 3.3.5a pack shipped a retail LibDBIcon that called SetFixedFrameStrata (missing on Wrath). That shared library also broke BugSack and Skada. 12.09.20 uses a Wrath-safe LibDBIcon. Update addons in the launcher, then /reload.
The WOW-UKRAINE addon now runs on Wrath 3.3.5a (not only retail/classic). Quests are matched by ID; gossip and tooltips by text hash. Install via the launcher, then /wowtr. Russian players can turn it off with /wowtr off.
Play now deletes Cache\WDB (NPC gossip, quests, items) so the client picks up realm locale and SQL changes. Toggle it off in Settings → Launcher if you want a faster first login. Quit the tray icon, then update to 1.7.20.
Some NPC gossip bodies stayed English on a Russian client even though translations existed. The server was reading broadcast_text, not npc_text_locale, and the client cached the old English packet. Those texts (Terentis in Darkshore and the rest of that set) now use a new TextID with a proper broadcast_text locale. Relog; if the English line is still cached, delete the client Cache / WDB folder.
Progress, turn-in and greeting text that used to fall back to English on a Russian client is filled. Most stock WotLK/TBC lines came from the YTDB ruRU pack (existing translations were not overwritten). Remaining Northrend/Outland gaps, Westfall greetings and leftover gossip buttons now have Russian and Ukrainian. Custom IceDNicco NPC talk is localized too.
Turning in Thelsamar Blood Sausages no longer shows English on a Russian or other localized client. Progress and reward gossip is filled for ruRU, Ukrainian, zhTW and koKR. The Russian accept text now matches WotLK (bear meat, boar intestines, spider ichor) instead of the old 8-meat version.
