PatchFix

Version: 1.1

by: SDPhantom [More]

Note: PatchFix has been discontinued. All observed errors have been fixed as of patch 3.3.3.

PatchFix is now aware of the running client's build number and will refuse to load and display a warning message in chat if it differs from the build it was coded for. When this happens, please delete PatchFix and check back for any updates. This is to prevent conflicts within the default UI when Blizzard issues a permanent fix to these problems.

Coded for build #10958 (Dec 1 2009)

Temporarily fixes the following errors in patch 3.3.0:

BasicControls.xml:48 - message() references old frame name. ScriptErrors was changed to BasicScriptErrors
WatchFrame.lua:244 - Default value not set for WatchFrame.baseAlpha. It's set by VARIABLES_LOADED, but the calling event, PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD, occasionally fires beforehand, causing a math operation on this variable.

Version history:

** - Build Increment to 10958 (3.3.0) (No change)
** - Build Increment to 10505 (3.2.2a) (No change)
** - Build Increment to 10482 (3.2.2) (BattlefieldMinimap load error fixed by patch)
** - Build Increment to 10314 (3.2.0a) (No change)
1.1 - Added build checking code
1.0 - Initial release

Notes to add:

This code only fixes errors within the default UI.
Undocumented changes a patch brings that breaks other addons will NOT be covered.
This includes, but is not limited to the name change of GetDifficultyColor() to GetQuestDifficultyColor().

I've returned for the moment to check up on WoW. It seems they fixed the problem with the message() function. I'm not seeing any of the other errors appear as of yet.

I did notice a glitch, when the Barbershop UI is forced to load, the banner pops up, this is because the banner wasn't created as a hidden frame on load.

I do have a fix made for this, but its priority isn't high enough to warrant an upload just for it.

I wrote this fix a few weeks ago to get rid of the errors at load time so I can start debugging my addons for the 3.2 patch. It took me a while to track down the BattlefieldMinimap load glitch causing a chain reaction for UIParentLoadAddOn() to fail and figure a way around the call to BattlefieldMinimap:Show() running regardless of if BattlefieldMinimap actually loaded or not.

I only recently moved this code into its own addon from my live code testing addon because frequent syntax errors developing code would nullify this fix and the default UI errors would overwrite the error explaining why the script wasn't run.
