oUF on PTR

zork · 10-22-09, 03:27 PM

I'm currently testing my UI on the PTR. oUF currently produces one LUA error, obviously due to Blizzard UI changes.

Is there any working version available?

Code:

Message: Interface\AddOns\oUF\ouf.lua:218: attempt to index global 'TargetofTargetFrame' (a nil value)

Blizzard changed the ToT frame names:

Quick'n dirty fix to make it work until further notice:

Find this in oUF.lua starting at ~line 217

Code:

    if(unit == "targettarget") then
      TargetofTargetFrame:UnregisterAllEvents()
      TargetofTargetFrame.Show = dummy
      TargetofTargetFrame:Hide()

      TargetofTargetHealthBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
      TargetofTargetManaBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
    end

and make it

Code:

    if(unit == "targettarget") then
      TargetFrameToT:UnregisterAllEvents()
      TargetFrameToT.Show = dummy
      TargetFrameToT:Hide()

      TargetFrameToTHealthBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
      TargetFrameToTManaBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
    end
    if(unit == "focustarget") then
      FocusFrameToT:UnregisterAllEvents()
      FocusFrameToT.Show = dummy
      FocusFrameToT:Hide()

      FocusFrameToTHealthBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
      FocusFrameToTManaBar:UnregisterAllEvents()
    end

Thank you Blizzard! ... for "fixing" things that are working.

Meh it's their API so they can change it whenever they like !

Addons are officially unsupported so they have no pressing need to maintain backwards compatibility for mods.

Yeah but they should know that at least half the community is using addons (and I'm pretty sure it's way more). Changing a frame name makes no sense, it's still the same frame. But it ****s up every unit frame addon. Just like this freaking GetQuestDifficultyColor() thingy was creating a mess, lately. Sure it's there game, they can do what they want. But they shouldn't do arbitrary changes that make no sense - at least I don't see what a different frame name will "fix" or "improve". That might be because I'm being ignorant, ofc.

Dawn its OK. I'm more interested in what they changed exactly and why. Maybe there is a new way of handling ToT units (no the onUpdate thingy you know). ToT events, anyone?!

They made their ToT dynamically spawned through Lua, as they are using it in two places now.
