Learning Aid Beta

Version: 1.12.0 Alpha 5

by: Jamash [More]

This is the ALPHA version of Learning Aid for testing.

Version 1.12.0 Alpha 5

Updated for WoW 5.4.8.

The Ignore list is broken, other major functionality appears to be working!

Please report any bugs you find.

If you do find a bug, please post a screenshot on the forum thread.

# 1.12a5

Talents that override existing spells, like Strangulate/Asphyxiate now
work correctly.

Retalenting spam filter is working, and now does not display redundant
entries for spells that are unlearned and then immediately relearned
when Summarize is selected.

Ignore list is still broken. Do not use.

SpellAPI is more comprehensive and robust.

Deleted a lot of old, commented-out code from previous expansions.

# 1.12a4

Mangle is working.
Flyouts are working.
/la search is working.
Ignore list is broken. Do not use.

# 1.12a3

Actually fixed the issue with spec-specific spells appearing in /la search
results whether or not they were on an action bar, for reals this time.

Added new object-oriented SpellAPI.lua, which may become an independent
library at some point.

Pulled out a lot of obsolete code that has succumbed to bitrot.
There's still a lot left.

Known Issue: If you change specs, all the spec-specific spells for the
spec you didn't start the current game session in will appear. Probably
not that difficult to fix, but it's late and I want to get something at
least semi-functional out tonight.

# 1.12a2

Fixed the issue with spec-specific spells breaking /la search
[Update: Did not actually fix the issue with spec-specific spells]

# 1.12a1

Updated for WoW 5.0.4 (Pre-Mists of Pandaria patch)

Removed support for mini-pets and mounts due to persistent bugs.
If you want to see support for mini-pets and mounts return, please
contact the author at jamash.kj@gmail.com.

# 1.11

Updated for WoW 4.0.1 (Pre-Cataclysm patch)

Includes new "Train All" button on skill and class trainers.

Interface updated to 40000

# 1.10.1

Chinese localizations added (zhCN and zhTW), kindly provided by wowuicn.

# 1.10

The Learning Aid window now grows wider when there are too many
abilities on it to fit in one column.

Korean localization added, kindly provided by talkswind.

# 1.09

The "Find Shapeshift forms" toggle was backwards. Fixed.

New Ignore Ability function. Ctrl-click on an icon in the Learning Aid
window to ignore that ability when using the Search feature.

You can also use /la ignore Ability Name and /la unignore Ability Name

/la unignoreall to reset the list of ignored abilities

When the option "Show Learn/Unlearn Messages" is set to "Summarize",
spells that are unlearned and immediately relearned while swapping
talent specs are not printed to the chat log.

# 1.08

Added an option to toggle whether to search for Shaman totems when
searching for abilities missing from action bars.

Fixed wrong companion bug (again).

# 1.07.3

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect text to appear on the context menu.

# 1.07.2

Added German translation kindly provided by Freydis88.

# 1.07.1

Fixed long-standing bug that caused the wrong companion to appear when
learning a new companion under laggy conditions.

# 1.07 Completed Features

When the player unlearns a spell or ability due to a talent reset,
remember where on the player's action bars that spell or ability was.
When the spell or ability is relearned, put it back on the player's
action bar in the same place, as long as that slot is empty.

Same as above, but due to a server-side talent reset.

Remember multiple sets of unlearned ability to action bar button
mappings.

Filter "You have learned" and "You have unlearned" spam down to two
lines, saying "You have unlearned A, B, C." and "You have learned X, Y,
Z."
Dual Spec Swapping: Complete
Unlearning Talents: Complete
Batch-learning Talents with the Talent Preview system: Complete
Batch-learning Talents with an addon: Complete
Singly-learning Talents with multiple ranks: Complete
Pet Talents: Complete

# Future

Rewrite event handlers using the new 3.0 Secure State system.

Fix macro scanner to work with spells that have parentheses in their
names, such as "Swipe (Bear)".

# Possible

Rewrite entire spell learn / unlearn system to use the system chat
message event instead of caching and diffing.

Are you sure you're running the 1.11 beta and not 1.10?

That's interesting, do you know what you were doing when that error occurred?

Issue one is fixed. The window appears when new spells are learned.

Issue two : no idea sorry.

I did however get a new error and it seems atlasloot is indicated:

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1201 File comments: 781 Uploads: 82	v1.11 beta1 bugs (+fixes) Problem #1 Lines 889-894 in LA:UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP function Code: for spell, rank in pairs(self.spellsLearned) do if self.spellsUnlearned[spell] then self.spellsLearned[spell] = nil self.spellsUnlearned[spell] = nil end end don't do what they're supposed to do. The 2 tables were of the form t[i] = {key=name, value=link} What this did was compare the 'i' parts and remove any nested tables with the same index regardless of contents. Problem #2 Lua stores references to tables not copies. Line 687 and most of LA:CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM function Code: local t; t=self.spellsLearned; t=self.spellsUnlearned; t=self.petLearned; self.petUnlearned all end up pointing to the same table which was not the intention and compounds problem #1. Problem #3 Line 635 the formatSpells() function contained an invalid sort order function which is what was giving the error reported by myself and Jzar further down the comments Code: 1x LearningAid-40000\LearningAid.lua:637: attempt to index local 'b' (a nil value) <in C code>: in function `sort' LearningAid-40000\LearningAid.lua:637: in function <LearningAid\LearningAid.lua:635> LearningAid-40000\LearningAid.lua:895: in function `?' LearningAid-40000\LearningAid.lua:565: in function `?' I've fixed all these issues (I hope ). Instead of spamming more code here is a pastey with the updated LearningAid.lua and a diff Vs the 1.11beta1 code. (green added, red removed/changed). Drop-in Replacement: http://www.pastey.net/143128 "Save as" LearningAid.lua and replace the file of same name in v1.11beta1 only. Hope it helps and thanks again for sharing your work, this has been an essential addon for ages now. (and more so with Cataclysm around the corner) Last edited by Dridzt : 11-22-10 at 08:00 PM.

Thanks for the report!

Is this with 1.11 release or 1.11.1 alpha 1? Also, which class are you playing, what level is your character, are you in a guild, what level is the guild if so, and what professions do you have?

i downloaded todays release (still no testing) this happened with previous version 1.11 Beta 2 if i'm not wrong.

this was mainly with low lvl chars i wasn't playin with and decided to lvl them now (priest and a warrior), as i said before i tend to lvl them 4 to 6 lvls in a row without learning new spells, doin this only by the end of sessions...

priest(36) its in guild (lvl21)... warrior(42) not yet in guild as we speak

i noticed when i drag a spell from learning aid popup and this happens the spell it picks instead the desired spell, use to be either right before or after in the spellbook.

I plan to have a new release this weekend. I haven't tracked down the cause of the issue with learning multiple class skills at once, but I'm working on it!

Comment refers to LearningAidBeta-1.12.0alpha1.zip.

Libs folder hasn't been packaged so LearningAid probably won't function for users that don't have Ace3 from another source (either installed standalone or the needed libraries embedded in another addon)

Secondly there's a little error in the embeds.xml file.
It should be like this:

Code:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">
<Script file="Libs\LibStub\LibStub.lua" />
<Include file="Libs\CallbackHandler-1.0\CallbackHandler-1.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceEvent-3.0\AceEvent-3.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceTimer-3.0\AceTimer-3.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceBucket-3.0\AceBucket-3.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceGUI-3.0\AceGUI-3.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceConfig-3.0\AceConfig-3.0.xml" />
<Include file="Libs\AceConsole-3.0\AceConsole-3.0.xml" />
</Ui>

AceBucket-3.0 requires AceEvent-3.0 and AceTimer-3.0.

Other than that looking forward to testing the new file

Oh, uh, derp. I uploaded a new version with the libraries that are actually in use right now, plus AceBucket which isn't hooked up yet so it shouldn't cause any errors.

Working on it. There's an issue with how long it takes companion info to load when the WDB cache gets reset. I have some ideas on how to fix that.
