HorsemanSummonFix

Version: 1.1.7b

by: Toppazz [More]

As of October 26th, Patch 4.0.1a was released noting that it has corrected this issue. You should no longer need an addon to prevent cogwheels from crashing your client.

HorsemanSummonFix was created to address the current client crashes caused by mousing over specific objects. If you notice additional crashes, feel free to note what is causing them in the comments and I'll add them to the addon.

Thanks to Vladinator for suggesting a solution that works across all clients.

I am no longer receiving crashes while summoning the HHM so I will not know when the issue is fixed. Feel free to leave a comment for other users so they can know when this addon becomes unnecessary.

1.1.7b Rolled back (further) to 1.1.1

1.1.7a Rolled back to 1.1.3

1.1.7 Attempts to display single line tooltips by rebuilding them to prevent crashing

1.1.3 Will now only disable one line tooltips inside of specified zones

1.1.1 Fixed an issue where player location wasn't detected properly because of incorrect map reading

Vlad A Molten Giant Forum posts: 793 File comments: 337 Uploads: 31	Great idea, but I would perhaps do it in another way, something like: Code: local f = CreateFrame("Frame") f:RegisterEvent("ZONE_CHANGED") f:RegisterEvent("ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA") f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) if GetCurrentMapAreaID() == 1337 then -- type /dump GetCurrentMapAreaID() when you are on the pumpkin and replace 1337 with that ID self.bk = self.bk or GameTooltip.Show GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", nil) elseif self.bk then GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", self.bk) end end) GetCurrentMapAreaID() would be the same no mater language, while comparing with a string will not be the same if I play on German, Russian, e.g. game, thus the addon won't work and prevent it from crashing. Keep it up! Last edited by Vlad : 10-19-10 at 11:35 AM.

I was considering ways for an easy multi-language solution but was unaware of the map id system. I'll check this out once the servers come up and get this implemented!

What language is your client in? Are you using this on live and not beta?

Holyana A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 84 Uploads: 0	When I tried to use this addon yesterday, it crashed my game totally and made it exit out. I'm not sure what happened, sorry that I don't know how to get errors from that to report. May just be an issue with my client since I use a lot of addons, something may not have been playing nice with this one. Problem went away when I disabled this addon though.

enUS - LIVE

Why would I do this on the beta?

Sorry; was just checking for consistency. I checked with a couple of guildmates and some of them were having the same problem you were. GetCurrentMapAreaID() is based on what your map currently shows apparently. For some people (and I'm not sure why), the map isn't updated on zone change so it returns the number from the zone they were previously in. This can be fixed by setting the map to the current zone manually.

I'll upload the fix in 5-10 after I can confirm it working.

This sounds like the issue this addon is set to fix. Some tooltips are causing the client to crash without firing any errors. Either way, addons shouldn't be able to cause hard lock ups like you are describing.

Nope, v1.17a (1287627685-HorsemanSummonFix.zip download) doesn't prevent crashes on the Horseman's pumpkin in SM at all. USEnglish client/server.

Rolled back to v1.1.1, no further crashes on mouseovers.
