Missing Friends

Version: 10.11.13

by: Aezay [More]

Description
"Friend removed because the character no longer exists."
Most people has probably seen this message pop up in their chat window upon login, and you always wonder, who was it?!

What this addon does, is to make a copy of your friend list. When you login and recieve the friend removed message,
it will then compare your copied friend list with the server friend list, then notify you of anyone who has gone missing.

There is a slash command "/mf" which will list all the friends lost over time.

Credits
Thanks to Ferylin who forced me to write this addon at gunpoint, and wouldn't let me go until I was done

MissingFriends Changes | 2010 Nov 13
- Changed the TOC version to 40000 for the 4.0.1 pre Cataclysm patch.
- Very minor code changes.

MissingFriends Changes | 2010 May 04
- Fixed the missing table error that could sometimes happen during login, thanks to Dridzt. The fix was to change "VARIABLES_LOADED" with "ADDON_LOADED".

MissingFriends Changes | 2010 Feb 10
- Changed the TOC version to 30300 for the 3.3 patch.
- Does an extra check when adding friends to the backup table, making sure it doesn't add invalid entries. I guess this could happen during login on rare occasions.

MissingFriends Changes | 2009 Apr 13
- Changed the TOC version to 30100 for the 3.1 patch.
- Removed a bug that incorrectly reported a friend missing if removed from the friendlist manually or through an addon.

MissingFriends Changes | 2009 Apr 11
- Changed the warning sound for when a missing friend is found.
- Fixed a nil error that could happen under unknown circumstances.
- The list of missing friends are now saved with the time they were found missing.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Fonjask That is very strange, are you actually missing the friend it is reporting? When a missing friend is found it is removed from the saved friend list, so it wouldn't get reported again, unless something really fishy is going on. Last edited by Aezay : 04-12-09 at 12:11 PM.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Matoskah Can you give some more info, what exactly does it say, is the friends reported missing actually missing? Or is it saying "Friend no longer exists." with the double space between friend and no.

That is very strange, are you actually missing the friend it is reporting? When a missing friend is found it is removed from the saved friend list, so it wouldn't get reported again, unless something really fishy is going on.

It's not reporting a missing friend, it's beeping the name of the corpse on the ground. It also keeps on beeping every time I click it. /Fishy!

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Fonjask That only makes things sound more strange, MissingFriends pulls the names from GetFriendInfo(), and I have no idea how the corpse name could get be returned by that. I'll try and take a look and see if I can reproduce. Erm, just noticed you said it's not reporting a missing friend, just beeping the name of the corpse on the ground. Could you explain this a little better, what do you mean with "beeping the name"? Last edited by Aezay : 04-13-09 at 05:11 AM.

Every time I hover over it with my mouse it does BEEP and ChatFrame1:AddMessage's that <corpsename> is missing. (fill in corpsename with name of corpse).

Yes, that's what it said. Let me just get on WoW, make a screenshot and post it here

. Back in < 10 mins.
Sent you a PM with the screenshot made on my alt.

The corpses do not show up in my MissingFriends SavVar's:

MissingFriends_List = {
"friend1", -- [1]
etc.
}

MissingFriends_OldFriends = {
}

None in OldFriends

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Ok, I have an idea as to why it's happening. I am guessing this addon is adding the name of the corpse to one's friendlist to check if that person is online, and this is why it's happening. I'll try and add a workaround this.

Error experienced in WoW 3.3 live, USEnglish client/server, v09.04.13. Log on with a character using the mod and see that one friend has left the server. Error thrown up:

Code:

["message"] = "MissingFriends-09.04.13\\core.lua:51: attempt to get length of upvalue 'list' (a nil value)\nMissingFriends-09.04.13\\core.lua:68: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\MissingFriends\\core.lua:68>\n\nLocals:|r\nself = <unnamed> {\n 0 = <userdata>\n CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM = <function> defined @Interface\\AddOns\\MissingFriends\\core.lua:62\n VARIABLES_LOADED = <function> defined @Interface\\AddOns\\MissingFriends\\core.lua:37\n FRIENDLIST_UPDATE = <function> defined @Interface\\AddOns\\MissingFriends\\core.lua:50\n}\nevent = \"FRIENDLIST_UPDATE\"\n\n  ---",
            ["type"] = "error",
            ["session"] = 26,
            ["counter"] = 1,
        }, -- [21]

Have had several logons since the patch went live, this has just happpened on a single character a single time; no issues at the other logons. The only other mod running that affects the friends list: FriendsWithBenefits (no errors with it and no errors with the two in combination in WoW 3.2).
