Re: Bar data Lost workaround

Originally posted by TyBudd
Yeah, addon admins mentioned before that it was best to save a wtf file anyways.

If you look at your files before and after a crash, it seems that none of the actual saved toon data is different. What works for me is to:

Code:

1. Load up the spec that bars have been screwed. 2. Type in /reload to reload your UI. 3. Then go into your profile and reload the profile in question.

Everytime I do this in this order, it loads itself in correctly, for some reason, (which I can't explain).

but if you just try to reload the profile without first reloading your UI, it doesn't help.

Even if you log completely out of the game, then back in, and load the profile it doesn't help. It seems as if reloading the UI completely reloads and resets things that just logging in doesn't, which allows Macaroon to load/access the profile better. SEEMS is the key, but thats my findings. Maybe
Anseloth/Dwargh/Maul

can use this general thinking and find out why this is happening

sorry, for the moment, i cannot run Macaroon on my computer at all. you see, my desktop/gaming computer isn't even bootable atm, seeing as the main hard drive (meaning the one that the OS was on) was damaged, and possibly defective from the start

the other day i mailed it back to the manufacter, who said they'd send me a replacement once i send them the broken one.

so, until i get the replacement, the only computer i have is a netbook computer, which can barely run WoW without addons. therefore, i cannot debug addons until i get my new hard drive, sorry.

leobolin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	The lost offspec bar data seems to happen whenever you lose your connection to the game, or if it crashes (as in, the logout action never happens). Every single time I've had connection issues or the game has crashed, all the buttons in my currently INACTIVE spec have gone missing. The only workaround I've found so far is to have a backup of my WTF folder, which I restore in case this happens. It's bloody annoying though. My guess is that this snippet from Macaroon.lua never actually happens if you crash your client/get disconnected: Code: elseif (event == "PLAYER_LOGOUT" or event == "PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD") then MacaroonSpecProfiles.LastSpec = GetActiveTalentGroup() for k,v in pairs(M.StatesToSave) do v() end end Other annoying bugs such as button states getting stuck randomly are making me look for alternatives. Sadly, there are no other bar addons as good as this one yet so I guess I'm stuck with these bugs. I don't know Lua well enough to fix it myself. Last edited by leobolin : 06-07-11 at 08:02 PM.

I have no clue as to what causes it since it seem to happen randomly when switching spec. The 2 times I've had it it has been after I've altered and saved my profile though.

Seems it most often works fine if I save the profile a couple of times before pressing Okay to exit the profile menu.

However since most of you who have this problem more often usually said you haven't altered anything and haven't been saving your profile just before I can't be sure of the connection to it.

I have and still am using version 40000.1.2 becuase that was the last version to seeming have error free profile switching and saving.

I've been having the same problem for a while now. I think this is the issue listed as Bug #6801. I really love Macaroon but it's just so frustrating to redo my bars every time I switch talent specs.

Maul, is there any possibility of an update to fix this bug? Thanks!

That's bliss right there. I made sure to backup the original LUA file just in case I did screw something up.

I did manage to fix the stored buttons. They were nagging at me since I used that main druid setup to base all my others off of (so they ALL had that problem). I did notice the bit about the buttons not showing up in order, but still managed to fix it. Thanks for giving a place to start with the key lock thing too, I was starting to go cross-eyed while scrolling to try to find a hint in all that text.

Oh, in the stored buttons ?
Hmm. not sure I fully understand how the problem looks in there.
If you've managed to fix it then good for you

If you neeed more help I think another screendump would help.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Options Issues

er. have you tried moving the bars/buttons, not by moving individual buttons, but by each bar?

it sounds (to me least) like you are trying to move each button, one by one, or something. macaroon doesn't really do that.

But if you'd prefer to go edit it out instead that's up to you.
Just that that's much more a bother as the locked binding is per button and the buttons don't have to come in the same order in the Saved Vars as they appear on screen. So you'd have to find the correct buttons in the Saved Vars and then change

Code:

["hotKeyLock"] = true,

to

Code:

["hotKeyLock"] = false,

OFC that could be done with the search and replace function and just turn em all to unlocked.

You have no idea how happy you just made me! I didn't think to go into the button editor for the CD text (used to that being only for the macro script, nothing else). I'm used to more of the options being in the open. Macaroon! has so many more options now! Awesome! I can even change the color of out of range indicator. And I found the little option to turn off the annoying keybind and macro text too! SO happy! And a little option to turn off error messages. That takes another addon off my list to load each day. Thanks a LOT for that obvious pointer. heh

Though I had a bit of a problem with the Profile editing, but that was mainly because I didn't realize at first that I had to get an LUA editing program... notepad saves it as a text document. *facepalm* The only thing I can't seem to find though (I have no idea what to look for else it'd be easier) is how to change if the stored keybinds are locked or unlocked. I seem to have somehow gotten 14 of them on one row and it's locked. One button is over the lock option so I can't delete the extra buttons. Do you know what I should be looking for in the LUA text to adjust/unlock that? Today was my first day editing LUA script, so I'm sorry for that newb question. Better to ask than go unaware I hope.

Macaroon! is one of my two crutches for addons. I can't seem to play decent without this or X-Perl. >< All the help is GREATLY appreciated!

For some reason I can't find the option to cast spells on down click anymore. I'm aware that it's in the default settings and I have it enabled, but it doesn't seem to affect spells keybound to Macaroon. Any ideas?

Also, I have 2 profiles saved that have a full colon in the name. I didn't know that this would cause a problem since it saved the profile fine (Hunter: Survival and Hunter: Beast Master). Those profiles won't load, delete, or save over those profiles. I'm rather anal and would love a tip on how to remove them to have fewer options to scroll through.

And the third thing that I can recall as of this moment (I have a rather lengthly list of questions, it seems half the settings I enjoyed are gone) is a question about the cooldown timers that used to be built into Macaroon!. I can't seem to find that option either. I loved Macaroon! because it was almost 12 addons in one. It was all from the same person, so there was no clash issue. I had to download OmniCC to monitor my cooldown timers on my Macaroon! bars but it's affecting my X-Perl HOT timer count as well (which I have separate settings and needs for that). If the cooldown timers aren't in Macaroon! right now, is there a plan to put it back in?

Most of my questions that I had were focused on all the options in the main config menu that were removed when Macaroon! was updated for 4.0. I just came back from a 7 month break and haven't had much chance to catch up on all the changes in the game itself. Any help with these problems would be GREATLY appreciated.
