MobInfo3 Fix

If  like me you use the very useful MobInfo3 to help you with your gathering and farming of specific items,  you may have also experienced the error which no longer allows this to work. I have looked into it and discovered that the owner of the add-on is no-longer updating it so you will have to fix it yourself.


If you get the following error:
Message: ..\AddOns\MobInfo3\MobInfo3.lua line 2139:
attempt to call global 'GetDifficultyColor' (a nil value)

The Nine Step Fix

Step 1: Close World of Warcraft 

Step 2: Go to the location of where you installed World of Warcraft

Example: C:/Program Files/Blizzard/World of Warcraft 

Step 3: From there open the following folders "Interface > AddOns > MobInfo3"

Step 4: Right click on MobInfo3.lua and open with Notepad.

Step 5: Click on "Edit" then select "Find"

Step 6: In the "Find What" box type "GetDifficultyColor" 

Step 7: Delete "GetDifficultyColor" and replace it with "GetQuestDifficultyColor"

 (You might have to manually search through the code as notepad does not always recognise large words such as GetDifficultyColor, you may have to simply search for "GetDifficulty" or "Get" to make it work and remember to start with your cursor at the top of the document and search "down" the page.)

Step 8: Save the page

Step 9: Load World of Warcraft as normal and it will work.
