Title: [SOLVED] Noggit try to open wrong WoW
Post by: Azeazeaze on July 28, 2011, 07:04:51 pm

Hello there, first thank you for the amazing work :)

Well this is my problem with Noggit3, when i start it, i've a white window during one or two seconds and then it crashs.

My log.txt :

Code: [Select]

.wowmapview.cpp:154 > Nogg-It $Rev: 104 $
.wowmapview.cpp:264 > Game path: C:UsersPublicWorld of WarcraftData
.wowmapview.cpp:266 > Project path: D:DocumentsWoWWorldofWarcraft(3.3.5)
.wowmapview.cpp:304 > Locale: frFR
.mpq_libmpq.cpp:27 > Opening C:UsersPublicWorld of WarcraftDatafrFRlocale-frFR.MPQ
.wowmapview.cpp:362 > main: mpqs: 72 ms
.wowmapview.cpp:398 > main: directory: 79 ms

Looks like he wants to open the WoW version in C: but it's my 4.2 version.
But my Noggit.conf is :

Code: [Select]

Path = D:DocumentsWoWWorldofWarcraft(3.3.5)
ProjectPath = D:DocumentsWoWWorldofWarcraft(3.3.5)
Sorry if the problem was already posted, i've some problems with english :/
Thank you there !

Thank you there !

this is a known problem, run 3.3.5 wow.exe and close.
Then try again to run noggit.

at least I have this problem solved in this way. =)

I had the same issue, took me 2 hours to solve it but here is how i did it:
Noggit reads your WoW directory from the registery even if you set your conf to something else.

Thus, you will have to change your registery key, it will not have any impact on your 4.2 client.
Warning, changing your registery can make your PC unstable and/or crash, if you follow my steps you will be fine, but do this at your own risk!

1) Open regedit (Start -> Run -> type 'regedit' without quotes)

2) Navigate through the registery to here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeBlizzard EntertainmentWorld of Warcraft]

3) Doubleclick on 'InstallPath' and change the value to your wow 3.3.5 client.

4) Hit okay and close regedit, you can now start noggit and it should be working.

The actual "issue" is, that in your version the configuration file is ignored unless you specify "-c" as argument when starting Noggit. Do that by editing the link you use for starting. Append -c there (".../noggit.exe -c"). It will read the configuration file then.

This is not a bug.

Thank you, the -c tip was the right one :)
and indeed i have to launch my 3.3.5 before loading or else it goes for the 4.2.

The registery tip doesn't work for me since this key no exists ! maybe because i've installed wow in public files.

Hehe now i'm going to enjoy >:)
