About Private Servers

Ellypse edited this page Feb 28, 2018 · 1 revision

We have nothing against private servers and if you enjoy using Total RP 3 on private servers, that's great. However, we will not do any support for issues happening on private servers. Total RP 3 is meant to be used on Blizzard's servers and we spend already enough time going through hoops and loops to work with their infrastructure, we do not want to lose any more time working on individual private servers. If you found an issue related to private servers, please report to the developer of the server as they are the one not implementing Blizzard's API correctly and should probably fix the issue as it must be happening in other add-ons.

Known issue with private servers

Error: Cannot have realm name information!

Your private server is not implementing the UnitFullName("player") function correctly. Tell its developers that UnitFullName("player") should return the name of the player and their realm.

Map location features don't work (scan for players, stashes, etc.)

Total RP 3 is using the SendAddonMessage() function on the chat channel xtensionxtooltip2 to broadcast requests. This has been supported by Blizzard since patch 6.0. If you cannot see anyone on the map, it probably means your server does not implement this correctly (or nobody else is using the add-on at the moment).
