Rapid Raid
FAQ: Keeping old raids in Raid Tracker after Version 1.6
On January 14th, 2009 we released an updated export string format and a new import method as well as changed the name of the Raid Tracker mod so that it will not be updated improperly by WoWMatrix.
The mod name change will mean that old raid tracker data will be lost when you remove the old mod and install the new one. However, you can keep your data by doing the following:
1. Navigate to the following folder: /[Your Warcraft Folder]/WTF/Account/[Your Account Name]/SavedVariables - the items in brackets are specific to your install and account.
2. Find the CT_RaidTracker.lua file.
3. Rename the file to: GuildLaunchCT_RaidTracker.lua
After you have done this the old data will load into the mod. If you change your Export format on the "/rt options" screen to "eqdkp unkown" you can export the old raid strings and import them using the link to the old import method on the import page of Rapid Raid.
Note: The new export format relies on the "Log Attendees" setting (under the Auto Boss Minimum Cooldown Time setting) on the "/rt options" screen being set to on. We recommend "On Boss Kill". Since this setting changes how the mod behaves *during* the raid old exports cannot be reexported and imported into the new importer. The old importer will be available for a short period of time.
Also Note: Running another version of CT_RaidTracker along with ours is NOT recommended.
Enjoy!
