WoW Classic Support Available in Alpha
🕑 Added 2019-07-09 12:21:13 +0000 UTC
We just merged the pull request that implements WoW Classic support in WeakAuras, this now allows us to easily create packages for you guys to test and also to enable installs from the Twitch app as soon as they support it.
With this weeks long effort, pioneered by Buds, we wanted to make sure we can provide Classic players with the same familiar experience they know from retail.
Did we succeed? Well, almost. Since the API available is a bastard love child between Patch 8.1 and Classic API, we had to make few cuts here and there because some things were just not possible.
For example, the focus unit or equipment sets or the threat API just don't exist on Classic. Still, most of the functionality of WeakAuras is there. But: If you import an aura that was not made on Classic you will get a compatibility warning in the tooltip.
So what changed?
Regions
- Model support has been removed, as invalid models crash the game on Classic beta. We will revisit this in the future, should the model API become more stable.
