eXtreme Unit Buttons 

As far as starting over, I did that. I have 2 computers and on one the only thing I installed was XUB and Xperl and it still didn't work. It did work with the blizz raid frames, but not Xperl.

I know that the raid frames are only in my pvp config. I was going to make another raid one, but since it wasn't working I didn't do it.

Here is the left side of my configuration of XUB:

I have not altered the LUA file on this computer that I am on right now, so it does not have the changes you asked, but I will cut and past what this computer does have from the config file. It is super huge so I just grabbed the RF parts you asked about.

P.S. I am very thankful to to Tay, because I couldn't heal worth anything without this add on, which is why I need it so bad for raids.

Glad to help. Be sure to thank Tay as well for keeping the coding up to date on this vital add-on!


Notepad is fine, just make sure the 'Format/Word Wrap' feature is turned off before saving.

I use PSPad, which is freeware, and works great with LUA code.


If nothing else, you should be seeing "In XPerl Code!" If you are not, then XUB doesn't think you are using XPerl!

1) I want to see your XUB script. Start WoW, do a "/xub c", and copy paste (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) your XUB script into a Notepad file, save it, then paste it here as a reply.

I'm assuming you've created a 'raid' configuration section in the XUB configuration window. If you haven't, then that's your problem right there.

Be sure to paste your XUB config script as a reply here.

2) Also, if you can, copy/paste your XUB saved settings info file here. It should be located at "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\<Server Name>\<Character Name>\SavedVariables\eXtremeUnitButtons.lua".

In the path name I just gave, any text surrounded by lesser/greater than symbols should be replaced with the actual account, server, and character names. Also I'm assuming you installed WoW in the default location C:\Users\Public\Games. If this is not the case, you'll have to search for the "World of Warcraft" folder on your own.

I'm interested in what the "XUB_RF_RaidFrameAddon" and "XUB_RF" values are set to.

3) Finally, you may want to consider starting over from scratch, again by first in WoW copying/pasting (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) your XUB script into a Notepad file, then exiting WoW and moving/deleting the settings info file I mentioned above. Then just create a new profile with one button, and attach it to a raid, make sure it works with Blizzards raid frames, then switch over to XPerls raid frames, and see if that works.

But don't do this until you get back to me with your configuration script and settings info files.


Good luck!

I want to say that I really appreciate all of your help.

A couple of quick questions. I put in all of the code mentioned above. Is it ok just to use a text editor like notepad or wordpad?

When I log on I do not see any additional messages in my chat window other then the one that says XUB is loaded, which has always been there. Right now I am waiting to get into a raid group to see if anything is changed then. I will update after that happens.

Update: When in a raid nothing is changed, and I still don't see any messages.

Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Yes, in the 'General' tab window. You should see a line that just says 'nil' if something is going wrong, or some other information if its (potentially) going right. If you coded it right, you HAVE to see something there, either 'nil' or something else.

If nothing is coming out, then the XUB code is not even getting to that block of code (which would be an alternative interesting bug). Try this and tell me what you see...

When am I supposed to get something back? will it just be in the chat window? I put in that code and nothing seems to be coming back to me.

Btw I have xperl and XUB installed on two different computers and it doesn't work on either. On one computer they are the only two add ons installed.

I have only been in raids in Tol Barad and the Battle Grounds. Not that I think this should make a difference, because it does work with the Blizzard Raid UI in both cases.

This is a cut and paste from my file:

elseif ( XUB.RF_RaidFrameAdon == "XPerl" ) then
if ( XPERL_RAIDGRP_PREFIX ) and (XPerl_Raid_OnLoad == nil) and (XPerl_Raid_GetUnitFrameByUnit) then
for i = 1,GetNumRaidMembers() do
testFrame = XPerl_Raid_GetUnitFrameByUnit("raid"..i);
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(testFrame);
if ( testFrame ) then
XUB.RaidFrameTable["raid" .. i] = testFrame:GetName();

--Vae

I don't use XPerl, so can't help specifically.

Having said that, I took a look at the code. For XPerl, XUB gets the raid frame names automatically, in the XUB_Initialisations.lua file, lines 188-196...

Line 191 (italicized) calls a XPerl function directly (in other words, XPerl's code, not XUB's), and in 192, checks to see if it got a value back, and if it did, assigns the XPerl raid frame in XUB, otherwise, it skips and goes on.

You could add an output (see underlined code text below) between 191 and 192 and see what XPerl_Raid_GetUnitFrameByUnit(...) is returning. So the revised code would look like this...

If you get back 'nil' then there's something wrong. Otherwise, you should get either a table reference or a value back.

Let us know what you see.

When I use the the /framestack here is what I get

Medium
1 xperl_raid_Frame
0 UI Parent

Low
5 Xperl_Raid_Grp3unitButton1highlight
5 Xperl_Raid_Grp3UnitButton1StatsFrameHealth
4 Xperl_Raid_Grp3UnitButton1nameframe
3 Xperl_Raid_Grp3UnitButton1
1 Xper_Raidgrp3

Sometimes the second #5 isn't there it depends on where I mouse.

Using the hot key
I get the same as posted in an earlier message:
XPerl_Raid_Grp@UnitButton#

I tried to use that manually, and it wouldn't work either. Do you or other people have xperl and are using raid buttons and it is working??

Try using the WoW command "/framestack", and check if you can see the XPerl frame names via this method.

I did it with xperl raid frames from the drop down. I actually used that mouseover hotkey last night and tried it manually also and neither way would work. Every other part of the UI works. Also I can't seem to find another Raid frame that I can customize the way I need to right now. Pitbull 4 and others seem to have the movement of raid groups disabled at this time. I can get it to work with the compact Blizzard Raid UI, but that is it. Also that is kinda useless because the buttons overlap the other players.

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Did you select xperl Raid Frames down at the bottom of the frame setup?
If you did try using custom frames. This macro will get you frame name you need for custom.

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName())

Put it on a hot key, mouseover the raid/party/player frames and hit the key.

If I get a minute I'll post the string.

I cannot seem to get the raid buttons to show up with Xperl. Everything else is working fine. My raid buttons will show up with the basic Blizzard interface, but not with Xperl. Not sure if anyone can help me with this or not.

Get better Tay. Physically and emotionally =)
XUB can wait.

Totally understand. My condolences, and my wishes for your quick and full recovery from your illness.

Take care.
