DoTimer Fix for 5.1 Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2

by: Neuro [More]

This is a quick fix to DoTimer to clean up the bugs in 5.04. I coded this for a guildmate, and he asked me to publish it.

Once the author of DoTimer updates his addon, I'll pull this one down. I can't guarantee it works 100%, but it does work.

5.1: Uploaded a new version, it works for me, but that's not saying much. If people could try it out and see if it's working, and report back any bugs, I'd appreciate it.

EDIT: I tried the last version for 5.0.4. It worked well.

Can you clarify? The previous 5.0.4 version of DoTimer I have on here doesn't give you problems, but the 5.1 version does?

Yes.

Version 5.0.4 with my original settings works well with me.
But, version 5.1.0 didn't work with my settings.

I don't know why. But, after I switched back to ver50004.
Ver50100 also works well with me now.
Even after I replace the WTF setting file from my backup, it still works well.

I'll report if it happens again.

I installed this fix, the game would finally load, but as soon as I'd hover over a running timer it'd still freeze. Tried disabling Atlas, which did the trick. Right now I've got Atlas disabled and DoTimer running with this fix, and haven't had a crash in over an hour. Just wanted to confirm that it's a clash with Atlas, hope this info is useful. I hope this can be fixed soon. __________________ Just remember... if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

Good troubleshooting there, Nillin. I tried with a fresh Level 1 and can get in with only DoTimer running. I don't run Atlas, so it must be something else that's conflicting in my addon list. I'll see if I can't figure out what.

Nillin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	The problem, in my case at least, is definately the combination of DoTimer and Atlas. The problem I reported below seems to be more related to Atlas than DoTimer - it is possible, by disabling Atlas, logging in, logging out and enabling Atlas to get everything working together perfectly fine - but next login it will break again. Atlas' modular structure is fairly new so a blind guess points as that as the actual problem - it does work perfectly fine with DoTimer disabled however. If SamadhiUF (or anyone else...) could try disabling Atlas, if they do in fact have it, we could at least confirm this is where the problem lies. Looks likely Neuro won't be able to help us though. : / On the plus side, I can raid without letting SnD fall off like a numpty now...I just can't see all the loot I didn't get. Which probably isn't such a bad tradeoff. Edit: I should add, running Atlas v1.22.1 Last edited by Nillin : 11-28-12 at 05:17 PM.

I tried a level 1 which was the same, however turning every other addon off gets things going again (I should have tried that earlier, d'oh). I'll try and figure out what DoTimer isn't getting along with. Edit: Appears to be some Atlas modules. Trying to identify which. Last edited by Nillin : 11-28-12 at 04:48 PM.

It does appear to get as far as popping up the 'This addon is in simple mode' box if you just delete the settings.

Are you using this version of the addon, because I've had zero issues with logging in.

Same problem here. I can confirm the behavior Nillin is reporting as far as deleting settings letting you get into simple mode, but it hanging if you re-enable things.

Thanks a ton for picking this up, though!

When you say you delete the settings, what does that entail? Are you restoring them to default settings, or are you deleting the actual SavedVariables file?

If you would, can you create a lvl 1 character (not a panda!) and see how DoTimer interacts with a fresh character?

Fizz, this issue goes beyond what I was looking to do for this addon, it's something the addon author should address, but here's a quick and dirty fix which I believe will help:

Go into your Interface/Addons/DoTimer/PlayerAuras folder and open up the core.lua file with Wordpad. Hit Ctrl-H which should bring up the "Replace" window. In the 'Find what:' section, type in "ConsolidatedBuffs", and in the "Replace with:" section, type in "-- Consolidated Buffs". Then hit Replace All.

This will comment out the section of the code that is problematic. I honestly don't know if it has any side effects, but it should stop the behavior you are having problems with.

That fixed it, much appreciated!
