    This addon has not worked since 8.2.5 dropped and we have not heard from the author. Has this been abandoned?

     

    This addon sure makes it easy mailing all my alts accross many servers especially those with special characters.

    I think that the translation will take a little bit....

     

    Here is a version from September:

    I found it because of the name of the author, but I cant read the Chinese text after I click on download  ;)

    1. BlackBook.lua is located inside the Postal addon folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\Postal\Modules

     

    2. A .lua file is just a text file with a bunch of code in it. by default windows wont know what to do. If you have Notepad++ (which I highly recommend) you right click the file and choose Edit with Notepad++. Alternatively you can open it with regular notepad by clicking "open with" and selecting notepad.

     

    4. Notepad++ gives us the benefit of showing us line numbers, which regular notepad does not.

     

    3. With the file open, and assuming in Notepad++, you will see a bunch of text for the script. Scroll down until you reach line 366. Line number will be shown on the left side. There you will see the entire line will say "if BNGetNumFriends then -- For pre 3.3.5 backwards compat". Simply copy and paste the work around on top of it and save (ctrl+s).

     

    Nothing super complicated, or any lua knowledge required. It's just a simple copy/paste of a text file.
