ItemDataCache errors

[TrotskyIcepick]

I'm trying to get MobInfo3 up and running but am getting errors from the ItemDataCache library that it relies on. Specifically :

Date: 2010-10-20 16:00:31
ID: 1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: [string "ItemDataCacheTooltip:Onload"] line 1:
attempt to index global 'this' (a nil value)
Debug:
(tail call): ?
[C]: ?
[string "*:Onload"]:1:
[string "*:Onload"]:1

I've searched all the files in the ItemDataCache directory for "ItemDataCacheTooltip:Onload" and can't find it in any files.

Has anybody else had a similar issue? Or....as I'm guessing is the case, am I the only person who insists on using MobInfo3 ;P

no your not alone. I miss it very much.

I only use it because I'm too "bone-idle / curious" (delete as appropriate) to kill something without knowing what loot it might drop.

A friend reckons he has MI3 running (I was using MI2 before 4.0.1 patch), am just waiting for him to tell me where he got it and/or to email me his copy.

Oh well, he got it wrong.....guess unless an equivalent to MobInfo2/3 and ItemDataCache turns up I'll jolly well just have to make do without.

To fix this error, edit the 'this' to 'self' in the following files, allso the call parameters for Onload and OnEvent

--> ItemDataCache.xml
<GameTooltip name="ItemDataCacheTooltip" inherits="GameTooltipTemplate">
<Scripts>
<Onload>
self:SetOwner(WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE")
</Onload>
</Scripts>
</GameTooltip>

<Script file="ItemDataCache_Scan_Tooltip.lua"/>
<Script file="ItemDataCache_Scan_Merchant.lua"/>
<Script file="ItemDataCache_Addon_BtmScan.lua"/>
<Frame name="ItemDataCacheFrame" parent="UIParent" hidden="true">
<Scripts>
<OnLoad>ItemDataCache:OnLoad(self)</OnLoad>
<OnEvent>ItemDataCache.OnEvent(self, event, ...)</OnEvent>
</Scripts>
</Frame>

--> file: IDC.lua
function ItemDataCache:OnLoad(self)
self:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED")
self:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
-- self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
self:RegisterEvent("BAG_UPDATE")
-- self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED")
self:RegisterEvent("MERCHANT_SHOW")
-- self:RegisterEvent("MERCHANT_UPDATE");
-- self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD")
end

function ItemDataCache.OnEvent(self, event, ...)
local arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4 = ...;
if (event == "VARIABLES_LOADED") then

Holy cow!!! ;D Wasn't expecting to hear from this thread again.

Thanks Urshade for the suggestion, I'll give it a try tonight.

When I went to download MI2 / 3 again I found MI2 was updated on the 4.3.11 so am going to use that instead.
