eXtreme Unit Buttons 

I sent you a PM, I'll be glad to 'kick the tires' and help out on the new version.

Its always best to back up this way anyways, using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to Copy/Paste XUB text to/from WoW/Notepad.

Just curious, what things are changing in 4.03?

I wonder why they changed the api like that?

Thank you Tay for your efforts!

Any ETA on when a new version will be available for testing?

Also, fredddredd, if you're reading this, thank you as well for your efforts!

It's not just Soulstone, it's "use" buttons in general. I get a similar error if I try, say,
I found a note in the API stuff on WoWwiki saying that GetItemCooldown won't work with itemName as of 4.01 (which is what the mod is passing); it has to have itemId. Getting the correct itemId seems non-trivial.

It could be deeper than just that statement; the button texture display for Soulstone seems particularly mucked up (sometimes I get the texture, sometimes not - it seems to be related in some way to whether or not I have a stone or the spell's on cooldown when I log in.).

So on my Warlock I have a custom button...

And its generating this WoW error (that you only see if you turn on seeing LUA errors)...

NOTE! This error only happens if I do NOT have the buff "Soulstone Resurrection"! If I have this buff (because I put the soulstone on myself) the error does NOT happen. Its the absence/lack of the Soulstone Resurrection buff that causes the error!

In case this matters, please note that the item name and the buff name both start with the word 'Soulstone'.

This error happens with both 4.01alpha and 4.1alpha of XUB.

Let me know if I can offer any debug info.

Assuming it makes it through moderation, I've uploaded (with his permission) a tweaked version of Tayedaen's "Alpha" release for 4.1. Hopefully I've caught and fixed most of the problems with scrolling, dropdown boxes and missing spells.

Hi Tay,

I believe that the problem with missing spells is down to the new flyout entries in the spellbooks of some classes. For example, in XUB_GenerateDefaultSpellsAsList, the flyout entries themselves don't return a spell name, so the discovery loop ends prematurely (the entries within the flyouts turn up later as entries in their own rights). That routine doesn't find anything deeper in the spell book than the first flyout, therefore. (So, in the mage case as an example, nothing beyond the Teleport flyout under Arcane gets found - so no Fire or Frost at all.)

There may be other places also impacted; I haven't had time to dig yet. But just skipping the flyout entry in that routine doesn't, of itself, seem to fix everything; when I tried that, the missing spell names were then visible in Group Maker, but they didn't have graphics against them, and buttons for them still didn't get built. (Could just have been my poor coding, of course.)

((edited to correct typo's))
--- Update

OK - looks like the problem is in two routines.
XUB_GenerateDefaultSpellsAsList (in XUBConfig.lua)
XUB_GetSpellTextureAndID (in eXtremeUnitButtons.lua)

In both, rather than relying on the Spell name being non-nil to find the end of the list of valid spells, a different check is needed initially. SkillType works; it has a value for everything in the book (and will be "SPELL" for anything that we're interested in, I believe - other values are "PETACTION", "FUTURESPELL" and "FLYOUT").

I tweaked the two as below, and it seems to work ((sorry - haven't worked out how to get this to format...)). I didn't get around to taking the spell rank out of the second.

function XUB_GenerateDefaultSpellsAsList()

local SpellName;

local i=1
local myText = "";
local myBonusText = "\n";

local l_SkillType = GetSpellBookItemInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );

XUB.DefaultButtons = {};
XUB.DefaultButtonsArray = {};

while ( l_SkillType ~= nil ) do

if (l_SkillType == "SPELL") then
SpellName = GetSpellInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );

local mySpellVariable

mySpellVariable = string.gsub(SpellName, " ", "");
mySpellVariable = string.gsub(mySpellVariable , ":","" );
mySpellVariable = string.gsub(mySpellVariable , "'","" );
mySpellVariable = string.gsub(mySpellVariable , "%)","" );
mySpellVariable = string.gsub(mySpellVariable , "%(","" );

XUB.DefaultButtons[#XUB.DefaultButtons+1] = mySpellVariable .. ",spell," .. SpellName .. ","
XUB.DefaultButtonsArray[#XUB.DefaultButtonsArray+1] = { strsplit(",",XUB.DefaultButtons[#XUB.DefaultButtons]) };

end

i=i+1
l_SkillType = GetSpellBookItemInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );

end

end

++++++++++++

function XUB_GetSpellTextureAndID(aSpellName, aRank)

local mySaveTexture = "";
local mySaveID = 0;

local i=1
local SpellName,Rank;
local SkillType = GetSpellBookItemInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );

while ( SkillType ~= nil ) do

SpellName, Rank = GetSpellInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );
if ( SpellName == aSpellName ) then
if ( aRank == "" ) then -- then do NOT search for a specific

rank
if ( Rank == "" ) then -- this spell has no ranks
return GetSpellTexture(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType),i
else -- this spell has ranks
-- Save the texture and id and then continue
-- because we need to find the highest rank the user has access to
mySaveTexture = GetSpellTexture(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType);
mySaveID = i;
end
else -- then do search for a specific rank
if ( aRank == Rank ) then -- if the rank in the spellbook is

the same that is specified then
return GetSpellTexture(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType),i
end
end
end
i=i+1
SkillType = GetSpellBookItemInfo(i,SpellBookFrame.bookType );
end

--[[
if ( mySaveID < 1 ) then -- if we have found no spell
if ( GetNumTalentGroups() > 1 ) then -- if you have dual spec
XUB_ShowMessage( "XUB: Warning: Spell '" .. aSpellName .. "' cannot be validated . A reason for

this could be that you are using dualspec." );
mySaveID = 1;
end
end
]]--
return mySaveTexture,mySaveID;
end

Cheers

It is real easy to change the button sizes in the LUA file.
just open the the .lua in saved variables and find em.

If you need more details let me know.

Mousing over the resize numbers and using scroll wheel seems to be broken for me. Can't resize the bars I've built.

The drop down menus in the options page also seem to be borked. Can't change my anchor point or anything. Any help?

It would be awesome if everyone posted configs & UI pics here
http://xub.abits.biz/

I already have a few up.

I will get some screens up with more showing.

I logged on my hunter and most of my buttons didn't show up, I went to the Make Groups screen and probably 80% of my spells aren't in there.

Hey guys, post some pictures of your UI, please? The whole screen with raid frames for at least 10 people? I haven't come up with a setup I'm happy with yet, I need some inspiration!
