Omen: pet threat % meter is broken

3 months ago

Apologies if this has been brought up before: Omen broke for me some weeks ago after an incremental update, and subsequent updates have not solved the problem.

Initially, the threat bar for my pets disappeared completely. After much futzing around in options, I got it to reappear for my hunter (it's still missing entirely for my warlock). However, my hunter's pet bar is not working correctly. The threat percentage meter remains stuck at 0%, even though the other stats in the bar appear to be updating normally.

Additionally, I seem to recall that the target bar used to display the target's name prior to this problem; now it just displays a generic "pull aggro" label instead.

I've already tried deleting Omen and all of its preference files (that I could find) and reinstalling, but the problem remains. I'm not very experienced with add-ons yet, so maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but I'd appreciate any advice.

Running the game on a dual 2.0 PowerMac G5 w/ OS X 10.4.11, if it makes any difference.

try resizing the window, making it really big, and test it with your pet, or a buddy. if it works, then shrink it back down. also, even tho there are different modes, keep omen on single target mode, and just tab between targets.

hopefully that works, it did for me.

Tried that but no dice. Latest update is still busted.

Ok, try this, in this order:
1. remove the Omen folder(s) from your addons folder, including any options, etc
1a. remove any Threat addons in your addons folder
2. using WowAceUpdater, on the File menu, select Clean SavedVariables (or whatever similar item shows up)
3. using WAU, download Omen & any options again
3a. if the WAU doesn't install Threat 2.x automatically, use WAU to install it
4. play WoW and test, resizing window if necessary

*edited because Omen2 and Threat2 are NOT compatible with their 1.x counterparts, you need to remove the old ones*
