It's not really available any more - pre-Cata the author of FuBar announced he was no longer developing it so it limped along on life support for quite a while and seems to be disappearing now.

The world has moved on though - in place of Ace2 + FuBar + Dewdrop addons, we now have Ace3 + LibDataBroker (aka: Broker or LDB) addons instead.

So, you may want to try ChocolateBar in place of FuBar and then get the Broker equivalents to your old FuBar plugins - plus there's an addon called FuBar2Broker that lets you use FuBar plugins in a Broker display.

This addon got a ground-up rewrite for Ace3/Broker and was improved significantly in the process. You can find it under the name Broker_RecountFu here.

Hope that helps - welcome back and enjoy!

Addon updated for the 5.4 "Siege of Orgrimmar" patch.

Addon updated for the 5.1.x patch (Landfall)

PS: If you're feeling really brave and decide you want to go back to FuBar_RecountFu, I've looked at the "AceEvent-2.0.lua" library in the libs folder at noted the following code at line 986 to be the cause of your problems:

  self:RegisterEvent("LOOT_OPENED", function()
 if GetRealNumRaidMembers() > 0 or GetRealNumPartyMembers() > 0 then SendAddonMessage("LOOT_OPENED", "", "RAID") end
 end)

What it does is attempt to call a functions called GetRealNumRaidMembers() and GetRealNumPartyMembers() whenever you loot something. However, my understanding is that in patch 5.x Blizzard has removed one or both of those functions from its API. Therefore, it should be possible to fix the problem with a quick and dirty edit as follows:

 self:RegisterEvent("LOOT_OPENED", function()
 if GetNumGroupMembers() > 0 then SendAddonMessage("LOOT_OPENED", "", "RAID") end
 end) 

 As noted before, I can't update this library myself because I'm not the author or maintainer of it. Hopefully its actual author/maintainer will have this sorted soon enough. 

Aha - looking at the error message you were getting, it's in a library "AceEvent" which downloads as part of the addon but is not actually part of the code I maintain. The best way I can describe it is thus:

Somebody else created a library of useful code for handling 'events' called AceEvent.
My addon has a line in its config file indicating that the library is required.
When you download FuBar_RecountFu, Curse gives you my code plus the latest version of the library.

Thus, the issue you've had when looting won't be fixed until the owner/maintainer of AceEvent updates the library. However, because of the age of the library, I don't know what timescale that update might occur in.

Finally, regarding Broker_RecountFu, at the bottom of the Text Options menu are a number of switches that allow you to determine whether the 'labels' print so if the label is superfluous for you, you should be able to get rid of it and have the display you're aiming for. :) 

First pass of updating the addon for the 5.0.1 patch released in the EU today now downloadable. Some of Blizzard's API has changed so let us know if you find any new issues. On a clean install with just ChocolateBar, Fubar2Broker, FuBar replacement for FuBar2Broker and Recount, all is working without error here.

Also removed the "## LoadOnDemand: 1" line from the .toc file to ease the transition process for the FuBar faithful.

Aside: Note that the replacement Broker-specific addon mentioned previously (Broker_RecountFu) can display DPS in its text display FYI, in fact it can display a large number of items - just right click the icon in ChocolateBar and select from the 'Text Options' menu what you want to see from the Current/Last Fight menu. When in combat you see realtime data, when out of combat you see last fight data. 

Thanks for the error report. We're in the EU so the patch releases today and from there, we'll look into whether or not FuBar_RecountFu can be made to work under patch 5.x. (We don't play the beta servers here hence our fixes take a small time after patch release to create.)

In the meantime, since you're already using ChocolateBar (ie: A broker-based bar) do you know that we also produce an addon called Broker_RecountFu which offers similar functionality to FuBar_RecountFu but for users of Broker addons.

You can find Broker_RecountFu here:
