Roster First Upload Guide

This guide assumes you have Roster installed

Set Up Roster

• Go to RosterCP (roster/?p=rostercp | roster/rostercp.html) then to Upload Rules
• View Upload Rules for information on adding rules
• Enter your server name and guild name EXACTLY like they are spelled in-game

Tips

• Make absolutely sure you have your server and guild name entered in RosterCP

  Try copying your guild and server name directly from CharacterProfiler.lua

  This is especially important if you have characters in the names with accent marks

  Also, all names are case sensitive. "Feathermoon" is not the same as "feathermoon"

  • WoWRoster is made and tested for use with Official Blizzard servers. WoWRoster.net does not support private servers

CP, GP, and WoW

This is a quick guide on how to gather data in WoW
There is more detailed info on the use of CharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler to gather data in WoW on the Updating Character and Guild Data to Roster page.

• Install the necessary Addons (CharacterProfiler & GuildProfiler)
• Start WoW, log into your account, and check whether the above AddOns were correctly installed (Addons Button in the character select screen)
• Log in into a character for your guild, this can be any character but it is preferred that the character can read all the guild data, such as notes, ranks, guild info, guild motd, etc...
• Open the Guild window, near the top left, there should be a Save button. If you press this, you will get a message in the chat window of when the guild was created and how many members are in the guild.
• Open the character window. There is also a save button here near the top left corner. Clicking this button also displays a message in the chat window about what has been and has not been scanned.
• Log out, or exit WoW

Upload To Roster

• In the Roster menu, click the Update Profile button
• Click the browse button next to characterprofiler.lua, browse for your CharacterProfiler.lua data file
  • This file is located at (*WoWDir*/WTF/Account/*ACCOUNTNAME*/SavedVariables/CharacterProfiler.lua)
  • This file IS NOT at (*WoWDir*/WTF/Account/*ACCOUNTNAME*/*REALMNAME*/*CHARNAME*/CharacterProfiler.lua)
    • There should be no file here
  • This file IS NOT at (*WoWDir*/Interface/AddOns/CharacterProfiler/CharacterProfiler.lua)
    • This is the addon code, not the data
• Enter Roster Admin password in the "GuildProfiler User Only" box, next to "Roster Update Password"
• Click on the Upload button
• A window should come up afer a while (it depends on how big your CP.lua file is)
• This window give an overview of members added, updated, and removed. It also gives an update summary of each character as well.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common errors that the upload page may show

• Explanation:

  This means your CP.lua file doesn't contain a members list

  Something may have went wrong when saving the guild list in-game

• Solution:

  Open WoW, save the guild list again, re-upload

  If it fails again, try deleting your CP.lua file and try to re-scan

  If that doesn't work, make absolutely sure you have the latest version of CharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler

• Explanation:

  The version of GuildProfiler used to scan the guild is older than what is specified in Roster Config

• Solution:

  Update to the latest version of CharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler

  If you do have the newest versions, and you still have this error, try re-scanning your guild again

  If that doesn't work, try deleting your CP.lua file and re-scan again

  If that fails, then [DBVer] isn't being set in the data file, there may be another addon interfering with CP or GP. disable all other addons and re-scan again.

• Explanation:

  Your Guild name or Realm name are not correctly set in Roster Config

• Solution:

  Make absolutely sure these is correct in Roster Config

• Explanation:

  Roster cannot find the ["Guild"] block in CP.lua

  You do not have GuildProfiler installed

• Solution:

  Install the GuildProfiler Addon

  Check the addon page on the character select window in WoW

  You can also type /gp in WoW and make sure "Type /help blah blah blah..." doesn't show
