Missing Friends

Version: 10.11.13

by: Aezay [More]

Description
"Friend removed because the character no longer exists."
Most people has probably seen this message pop up in their chat window upon login, and you always wonder, who was it?!

What this addon does, is to make a copy of your friend list. When you login and recieve the friend removed message,
it will then compare your copied friend list with the server friend list, then notify you of anyone who has gone missing.

There is a slash command "/mf" which will list all the friends lost over time.

Credits
Thanks to Ferylin who forced me to write this addon at gunpoint, and wouldn't let me go until I was done

MissingFriends Changes | 2010 May 04
- Fixed the missing table error that could sometimes happen during login, thanks to Dridzt. The fix was to change "VARIABLES_LOADED" with "ADDON_LOADED".

MissingFriends Changes | 2010 Feb 10
- Changed the TOC version to 30300 for the 3.3 patch.
- Does an extra check when adding friends to the backup table, making sure it doesn't add invalid entries. I guess this could happen during login on rare occasions.

You can fix this error by changing line 4 from:

Code:

local list, oldFriends, friend;

to:

Code:

local list, oldFriends, friend = {};

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Could someone test this for me, does FRIENDLIST_UPDATE fire before VARIABLES_LOADED now? Test this from a character screen login as well as a UI Reload. xentaros Not really my preferable way of fixing this, but I'll see what I can do.

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1362 File comments: 831 Uploads: 59	Hi Aezay, regarding the older problem of MissingFriends outputting messages when other addons use the friendlist to get details for corpses and such. I believe the most common addon doing that is _Corpse by Saiket. From his most recent changelog: Code: # 3.3.0.2: * Now passes a second argument to Add/RemoveFriend to tell other addons that the command should be ignored. Should now be compatible with Tekkub's FriendsWithBenefits. * Added a module for 5-man dungeons so that cross-realm LFD groups don't break the mod.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Dridzt Yeah, MissingFriends once did show friends as being missing if you had _Corpse installed, but that is no longer an issue (I think). I do not hook the AddFriend() or RemoveFriend() functions anyway. Last edited by Aezay : 03-10-10 at 11:30 AM.

initialization error/fix

I'm running these modifications on my local copy to deal with the initialization error posted by a couple people.
Changed the initialization event from VARIABLES_LOADED to ADDON_LOADED and made these minor changes:

Code:

-- Friend list is not loaded here
function f:ADDON_LOADED(event, ...)
	local arg1 = ...
	if arg1 == modName then
		if (not MissingFriends_List) then
			MissingFriends_List = {};
		end
		if (not MissingFriends_OldFriends) then
			MissingFriends_OldFriends = {};
		end
		list = MissingFriends_List;
		oldFriends = MissingFriends_OldFriends;
 		self:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
	end
end

Code:

f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Dridzt Thank you for this information. Maybe you can also explain what exactly changed, to make this modification required? This was something that happened after I quit my subscription, so I never followed the updates after that so well.

The order of events firing during the loading process has changed.
VARIABLES_LOADED can fire later than it used to so code attached to it is not guaranteed to run before P_E_W etc.
There's not much to say I'm afraid other than "loading order has changed"

Haleth This Space For Rent Forum posts: 1173 File comments: 1146 Uploads: 17	Recently, a friend removed his or her character, and Missing Friends reported all of my friends as "deleted". I don't know what caused this. Love the addon, though, it's helped me pretty often already. This is one of the addons of which you really can't believe that Blizz didn't put it into the UI by default. Last edited by Haleth : 05-29-10 at 08:53 AM.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Haleth This could maybe be related to the changes in the last release, but I cannot really say. It could also have happened if somehow an error occurred to your saved variables. This is the first report of this error I've heard, please let me know if this happens again.
