Class/Spec Names
 

I have the newest Release it show the wrong specs on the party members
as like it shows Demonolgy for a Paladin different specs for each class how
do I fix this so it shows right spec?

Thank you

This is a problem with how talent watching works with multiple talent inspectors installed.

I used to get this alot with Altoholic installed as that has a built in talent scanner function.

You will probably find that it is returning details for the last person you looked at or even the one before that.

I don't have no talent Scanner installed that I know of

Sounds like you may need to do the dreaded addon check run.

1. Disable all addons except nUI.
2. Check if problem persists.
3. Enable 1 or so addons ( make a note - or remember them ).
4. Check if problem persists.
5. If problem persists repeat steps 1 to 3 with only 1 of those addons enabled.
6. If problem doesn't occur repeat steps 3 to 5.
7. Once all addons activated check if problem persists again.
8. If the problem occurs now it must be one of the latter addons causing the problem.
9. If it doesn't reoccur it has somehow miraculously corrected itself or it doesn't happen all the time.

Other than that I cannot think of anything that can be done to make it stop apart from waiting for Blizzard to set up the functionality Scott has requested them to do.

You can just do:

/run hooksecurefunc("NotifyInspect",function()error(debugstack())end)

which should eventually tell you every addon that's calling that function. Note that there is actually no problem in-principle with having multiple addons that scan talents, it's just that until Bliz gives us a better way to know who was last inspected, the addons involved need to not immediately trust all results without checking.

Yeah... I've tried watching to see other addons starting the inspection process so I know when to "not trust" the results, but I've still got some flaws in the logic obviously.

Since I'm rewriting for nUI6 I've kinda taken a step back from it to just re-engineer it from the get-go for the new code base rather than trying to tweak was was a flawed approach in the first place.

Yeah it's nice that you at least got a response from Bliz that they know about the problem and want to do something about it. *crosses fingers that it will be soon* :p

Sadly -- that response dates all the way back to patch 3.0 -- still no result.

Here's hoping!

I think I found out that is causing the problem it is Gear Score

I have the same problem and believe it is GearScore Lite that is causing it. I imagine the full GearScore causes the same problem.

Any way I might be able to fix this without getting rid of GearScore?

This will be addressed in nUI6... give nUI5 is at end-of-life, I don't want to invest the time in reworking the talent inspection module in the existing code.

Understandable. Given that nUI5 is at end of life, can we get some additional guidance as to when we can expect a beta or release? Between this error (which is cosmetic, in my opinion) the action bar reset for characters changing bars in combat (which is more severe, but can be worked around) and the FPS issues in larger groups (which has been crippling for a long while now, but can be worked around as well) it would be nice to know when we will have a resolution.

I was shooting for New Years, but have clearly missed that. I'd like to have something by Sunday, but I don't know. There's still a *lot* of work to do /sigh

Considering it's now March and the last update was "wait for NUI6 around New Years" anyone have any workarounds for getting Gearscore to work without confusing nUI, or another addon that doesn't cause problems? It's become really important as I start putting together PUG raids. It's probably more important that knowing what spec a person is, but I'd like both. Also, I'm tired of seeing Resto Rogues.

I use GearScore with nUI now... generally it doesn't give me much trouble as long as the raid isn't changing too fast.

EDIT: ps... the New Years projected date got blown because of my real job... it's not easy to put in 60-70 hours a week on a real job, take care of family and support free software at the same time. If more than 0.1% of nUI users supported it, it might be arguable to take time off from work to update nUI. However, since I have bills to pay, and a family to care for, nUI has to come in last... like it or not.

Totally understandable Scott.
