IsAddOnLoaded doesnt work :S

[magges]

Hey dudes

dont know why but IsAddOnLoaded seems not to work.
Id try

IsAddOnLoaded("TinyDPS")
IsAddOnLoaded("Recount")
Nothing happens even though both addons are loaded. Why? :/

How are you using the function call in your code?

[magges]

if IsAddOnLoaded("TinyDPS") then
	local tdpsbutton = CreateFrame("Frame", "tdpsButton", OpenMenuButton)
	tdpsbutton:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground", 
								edgeFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground",
								tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 1, 
								insets = { left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1}
	})
	tdpsbutton:SetBackdropColor(.2,.2,.2,1)
	tdpsbutton:SetBackdropBorderColor(.4,.4,.4,1)
	tdpsbutton:SetWidth(addonbuttonwidth)
	tdpsbutton:SetHeight(addonbuttonheight)
	tdpsbutton:EnableMouse(true)
	-- tdpsbutton:Hide()
	if not IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") then
		tdpsbutton:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", OpenMenuButton, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -2, -4)
	else
		tdpsbutton:SetPoint("TOP", skadabutton, "BOTTOM", 0, -2)
	end

	-- if menu:IsShown() then
		-- tdpsbutton:Show()
	-- else
		-- tdpsbutton:Hide()
	-- end
	
	addons = addons + 1
end

Have you made sure that the frames are being made ?

If you haven't already tried it, put a print("Got Here!") kind of message at the top of that if statement. If you see that message you know that it worked but something else in that block went wrong. The repeat the process down the line.

If I don't know where the problem is ( in normal programming debugging ) in the block I usually place print("1") etc lines after each command so that I can see which command failed to work and it should work in lua debugging too.

When i remove the if IsAddonLoaded + the end it works :/

Are you sure your addon is loaded after TinyDPS?
You probably want to try to run that code after PLAYER_LOGIN fires.

[magges]

Ah yeah thats is! thanks
id just add OptionalDeps in.toc and it works fine! Thanks

:> okay no .. after a /rl it breaks.
How do I add the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD (think u mean this, correct? I dont know)

The Hole addon as an function isnt the best way is it?

/e btw with print("!") it shows the ! .. but it still doesnt work.

down there i got this:

openmenubutton:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
	if not IsShiftKeyDown() then
		if menu:IsShown() then
			menu:Hide()
			if IsAddOnLoaded("1Recount") then recountbutton:Hide() end
			if IsAddOnLoaded("TinyDPS") then tdpsbutton:Hide() end
			if IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") then skadabutton:Hide() end
			openmenubutton:SetBackdropBorderColor(.4,.4,.4,1)
		else
			menu:Show()
			if IsAddOnLoaded("1Recount") then recountbutton:Show() end
			if IsAddOnLoaded("TinyDPS") then tdpsbutton:Show() end
			if IsAddOnLoaded("Skada") then skadabutton:Show() end
			openmenubutton:SetBackdropBorderColor(.9,.1,.1,1)
			
		end
	else
	openmenubutton:ClearAllPoints()
	openmenubutton:StartMoving()
	end
end)

openmenubutton:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function()
	openmenubutton:StopMovingOrSizing()
end)

and it says:

'tdpsbutton' (a nil value)

[magges]

cause i was a bit confused i just take a look at another addon

local AddOn = CreateFrame("Frame")
local OnEvent = function(self, event, ...) self[event](self, event, ...) end
AddOn:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

local function
[...all the stuff with IsAddonLoaded("")...]
end

AddOn:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
AddOn["PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD"] = login

with tinydps it works.
With Recount not. It creates the button (the print appears) but the function on mousedown wont work? :/

[magges]

okay lol ..it was cause of the local? Is that possible? What means that local exaclty?

Hm anyways - another question:

-- the menu open button
openmenubutton = CreateFrame("Frame", "OpenMenuButton", UIParent)
openmenubutton:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground", 
							edgeFile = "Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground",
							tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 1, 
							insets = { left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1}
})
openmenubutton:SetBackdropColor(.2,.2,.2,1)
openmenubutton:SetBackdropBorderColor(.4,.4,.4,1)
openmenubutton:SetWidth(buttonwidth)
openmenubutton:SetHeight(buttonheight)
openmenubutton:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0)
openmenubutton:EnableMouse(true)
openmenubutton:SetMovable(true)

-- (texture)
openmenubutton.texture = openmenubutton:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
openmenubutton.texture:SetAllPoints(openmenubutton)
openmenubutton.texture:SetTexture("Interface\AddOns\magges\menubutton",true)

the texture .. i dont see it. Why? :/
even if i setpoint to openmenubutton + alpha(1)
texture is 20x20, is that the point? may it has to be 24x24 or whatever?

/e even with 2x \ instead of 1

/e got it ..32x32

[magges]

I try everything but ingame its still not transparent - the background is white. WHY? aaaaaaaaah RAGE



(even if the black is white and the white is black(cause im not sure what is correct^^)..thats btw only the alpha channel)

Help me, pls :<

[Vrul]

Change:

openmenubutton.texture:SetTexture("Interface\AddOns\magges\menubutton",true)

to:

openmenubutton.texture:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\magges\\menubutton",true)

[magges]

Already did that .. i see the texture but its not transparent doesnt matter what i try

[Vrul]

I don't think this is a WoW issue but rather you not knowing how to use the alpha channel of your image editing software.

[magges]

Yeah im sure its not an wow issue :P
So what am I doing wrong in Photoshop?

I do it like this:
> open new file 32x32 transparent background, 72dpi. (default settings)
> i create the "m" button
> i add the alpha channel
> i configure/draw it like it is on the screen
> i safe as a .tga 16bit or whatever
> result: its not transparent?

magges

/e if i save it as .png it is transparent ..but its not supportet correct?
/e2 will open a new thread cause the title confuses

[Seerah]

Are you saving as an uncompressed 32-bit .tga?
