Healbot won't work

The infopanel plugin for healbot doesn't seem to work. Healbot just does what it always does but it won't go in the box. It also shoots an error up on the screen saying this as well. Some help with this issue would be great.

Can you post up the error message you are receiving. It sounds like Healbot changed the name of the frame used to dock into nUI or made it non public. Also post on the healbot plugin page if you haven't already just in case the author is still updating the addon as and when needed.

the healbot info panel hasn't been updated in a long time, so i'm guessing the creator doesn't play WoW anymore, would it be possible for you Xrystal to pick up the addon or make one yourself? it gets irritating having healbot always on my screen, liked having it in the info panel section, and i'll post the error i get on load with the healbot info panel turned on for you as well.

here is the error i get on login:

A recent release of Healbot (sometime in May) introduced the capability of breaking healbot down into multiple frames. Your tanks could be in one frame, your healers another frame, pets, in a third frame, etc and the frames could each be independently positioned.

Try finding the frame controls in the options (I thinks it's under skins) and making everything frame 1 and see if that fixes the problem

i already have my default skin as group with no extra frames, and it still bugs out, so a fix is in order to get the info panel working like it should from what i can tell.

To stop the errors coming up and make frame 1 be docked then you need to make the following changes in the plugin file. This is a block of code around line 166 in the file. I assume changing the f1 to f2, f3 etc will pick the alternative frame layouts. So it may be possible to set up a frame specifically for nUI docking purposes.

Code:

--rbc_printf("plugin.setEnabled(true)");        



local HB_Frame = f1_HealBot_Action -- HealBot_Action;        -- Xrystal 5.3

if not HB_Frame then

        --rbc_printf("Healbot_Action Frame is nil");        -- Xrystal 5.3

end

plugin.HB_Frame = HB_Frame;



if not HB_Frame.saved_parent then

        HB_Frame.saved_parent  = HB_Frame:GetParent();

        HB_Frame.border_color  = HB_Frame:GetBackdropBorderColor();

        HB_Frame.backdrop_color = HB_Frame:GetBackdropColor();

end

                

HB_Frame:SetParent( plugin.container );

HB_Frame:SetPoint( "TOPLEFT", plugin.container, "TOPLEFT", -10, 10 );

HB_Frame:SetPoint( "BOTTOMRIGHT", plugin.container, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 );

HB_Frame:SetFrameStrata( plugin.container:GetFrameStrata() );

HB_Frame:SetFrameLevel( plugin.container:GetFrameLevel()+1 );

HB_Frame:SetBackdropBorderColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 );

HB_Frame:SetBackdropColor( 0, 0, 0, 0 );

        

HealBot_Globals.HideOptions = 1;



-- Xrystal 5.3

if ( HealBot_Action_OptionsButton ) then

        HealBot_Action_OptionsButton:Hide();        

end

--HealBot_Action_OptionsButton:Hide();



--HealBot_Config.HideOptions = 1;

--HealBot_Options_DisableHealBotOpt:SetChecked(0)

--HealBot_Options_DisableHealBot(0);

ShowUIPanel(HB_Frame);

nUI_Movers:lockFrame( HB_Frame, true, nil );

thanks for that, but umm, sry to be a pain but could perchance provide a modified lua for us? i suck when it comes to coding and fairly noobtastic at it, i fairly sure if i started modding the file i'd make WoW explode... or my pc knowing my luck lol.

I'm right there with ya Solgath. The only work around I've done, which is not optimal, is use an older version of Healbot. I think it's 5.2.04, although i'm not sure at the moment. Hopefully those much more knowledgeable than I will help. :)

Sorry guys, I did send a PM to the author of the plugin so will see what happens there. But I will see about making a customised file for the time being. Healbot has changed a lot since I used it several years back so making a new info panel may be a bit awkward at the moment without understanding how healbot itself works now.

5.3 Patched version of the latest version

For those that aren't comfortable making your own changes here is a revised version of the addon. Give Brillynt a chance to surface if they intend to keep their addons updated otherwise I'll keep patching it for the time being so it doesn't error out.

thanks a heap Xrystal, you the best, i hope the info panel does get updated, its a must have for me on my monk when i use nUI :)

Thanks Xrystal! Just tried it out, and once i adjusted the frames to 1 it worked like a charm.
