Aura Buttons not working?

[Deimous]

Just downloaded the latest version of Aura buttons, and it is giving me the normal NUI list of buffs instead of the Aura Button icons. No errors associated with this, however.

Also, I'm using version 17.

[Deimous]

Huh, nevermind, apparently. My buff went away and when I reapplied it, the buttons came back. No clue what happened there.

[Deimous]

Nevermind the nevermind. Logged on again this evening and got this issue again. Here's a screenshot:

Apparently these old bars only appear outside of a party. When I join a party, it shows the aura buttons. Once I leave the party, the old aura bars come back.

Must check if I have the same, tho to be honest, sounds like a feature I wouldn't mind having

I'll look into it... I may have fat fingered something since I was updating about 100k lines of code all the same time when I did the loader fix the other day.

Well, haven't noticed this... darn..

[Deimous]

Well, I figured it out. It's the NUI addon that I have been using:
nUI_UnitPanel_RMSolo

If I use this one, it overrides the solo mode aura buttons (before it did not, probably because of the new way Aura Buttons loads itself).

nUI changed how the loader works because of the errors everyone's been having at login. I also changed the Aura Buttons plugin to take into account the loader change.

If the RMSolo plugin has not been updated yet, then it is still using the old loader logic, then it is overwriting both nUI's defaults and the Aura Buttons mod.

You might check to see if it's been updated and if not, pop a message off to the author.

Seems like it hasn't been updated since last September. I may have to contact the author regarding this. Though, I do have some programming experience, and I can read the LUA code easily enough. I might be able to jury rig something... Maybe if I had a sample of the old loader code for these addons compared to the new code, I could fix it up. I'll poke around before contacting him. lol

Just for fun, I changed all the filenames to "nUI_AaUnitPanel_" with the theory that if it comes alphabetically before Aurabuttons, then aurabutton's logic would overwrite UnitPanel's logic. And, I was right. Loaded up, no errors, and solo I now have the aura buttons, as expected.

It's actually a fairly simple change.

Scan the code for VARIABLES_LOADED -- it should be a conditional and an event registration something like

function onEvent()
    if event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" then
        -- do something
    end
end

frame:RegisterEvent( "VARIABLES_LOADED" );

.
You need to do two things.... first, replace VARIABLES_LOADED with ADDON_LOADED. Second, modify the conditional to add a test...

if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "nUI_UnitPanel_RMSolo" then
    -- do something
end

That should have the addon back in sync with nUI.
