[QUESTION] LUA and XML error ?
« on: December 07, 2011, 02:27:00 pm »
Hi!
I have the wow.exe patched to overlook edited LUA and XML - files from the locale.MPQ and it's related patches. I have edited several XML and LUA files with success. But, tampering with GlobalStrings.LUA gives me an error instantly. Why?

I have it extracted from the latest patch-MPQ and I can include this (unedited) GlobalStrings.LUA in my Patch-X.MPQ without any errors, but if I make even the slightest change, Wow closes the same second I'm about to "enter the world" with a character, saying I have to "delete the files in my FrameXML folder".

And that's how I know I haven't mesed up, since there's only strings to edit.... Do I have to further patch my client wow.exe or something?

There is a difference between GlueXML and FrameXML. The first being login, the second one ingame. FrameXML is checked upon entering world.
If it crashes there, you only patched GlueXML.
