Nui HUD display addon tribal textless issue

luciesereptor · 04-18-11, 04:50 PM

I have down loaded the Tribal textless HUD display and It doesnt want to work. I have to turn off the add on wait like 15 seconds and then turn it back on then enter realm and even then its a 50/50 shot of it working. I like the different design but i need it to work

What exactly is wrong with it ?

A screenshot would help us if its hard to explain.

What version of nUI are you using ?

Have you tried the display plugin with the previous version(s) to see if it's just a version compatibility problem?

Could someone move this to the nUI forums please.

When I log in to wow...I notice that it is the basic HUD (the slightly curved lines) not the tribal design. I have to log out...turn off the add on....wait 15 seconds......turn it back on....then log back in to wow.

Hmm, that is weird. Did it just happen the once or everytime you log in ? A /nui rl should work just as well but seeing as I have never seen or heard of that problem I'm not 100% sure of that.

I'm going to guess the tribal never got updated when the event firing order got changed in WoW.

Unfortunately, it's not my plugin, so I can't fix it.

It happens everytime i log in. and the reload doesnt help either. I have just disabled this till I can get it fixed or something.

If you want to see if what Scott is thinking is the cause then try editing, with a normal text editor, the main .lua file and look for the following line.

frame:RegisterEvent( "VARIABLES_LOADED" );

change it to

frame:RegisterEvent( "ADDON_LOADED" );

And try it again. If it works then what Scott suggested is most likely the cause. A quick look at the other layout plugins brings me to suspect that similar problems will happen with the others.

However, it shouldn't happen 100% of the time. The problem is due to VARIABLES_LOADED sometimes firing before PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD which then messes up some addons reliant on certain information existing. We latched onto ADDON_LOADED as a more consistent event to validate things so that the plugins and nUI can communicate together with more reliability.
