Real Mob Health

Version: 2.18

by: SDPhantom [More]

Notice:
On February 18th, 2020, Blizzard released a hotfix that enables mob health to be displayed in the Default UI.
RealMobHealth has run its course and is now obsolete. I thank everyone for their support during the lifetime of this addon.

For existing users running the Default UI, here's a list of addons that'll provide an alternative to the UITweaks module.

2.18 (2020-01-11)
-Modified death detection to hold onto data a little longer to prevent mobs with reincarnation mechanics from spamming messages
-Internal timers now use C_Timer instead of OnUpdate to try to combat "No player named <Player> is currently playing." spam after being minimized

2.17 (2019-12-13)
-Added usage of INSTANCE_CHAT as a fallback for BATTLEGROUND. (Reports are saying BATTLEGROUND is defunct)

2.16 (2019-12-12)
-Added usage of BATTLEGROUND addon channel
-RAID/PARTY addon channels now check specifically for the home group category instead of all

2.15 (2019-12-11)

2.14 (2019-12-10)

-Added deDE localization (courtesy of Figlmueller)
-Fixed zhCN, zhTW, and koKR numeric abbreviations

2.8 (2019-09-09)
-Added zhCN and zhTW localizations (courtesy of EKE00372 and HopeASD)

2.6 (2019-09-08)
-Added frFR localization (courtesy of Pgmbru)

2.5 (2019-09-06)

-Fixed TargetFrame text not checking options on creation
-Added health text to the GameTooltip's StatusBar

Note: APIVersion is noted in this log for continuity, however it's only available starting now

This could also be of help

The problem is we're dealing with a different throttle than previously. It's configured incorrectly to spam the user and the limit makes it really easy to do so inadvertently.

Sounds like a Blizzard bug with the new addon YELL channel. Addon channels aren't supposed to be throttled.
I'll work on a way to mitigate this, but it won't completely get rid of the problem.
A bug report has been filed on the WoW Classic Forums.

Meanwhile, around line 43 in Comms.lua, you'll find this line.

Code:

SendMessage(pre,msg,"YELL");--	New channel in 1.13.3

Comment that out by putting two dashes in front of it like this.

Code:

--SendMessage(pre,msg,"YELL");--	New channel in 1.13.3

This specific issue is on Blizzard's end. As mentioned in the post immediately before yours, it's complaining about a function being tainted that it hasn't even run yet at the time the error occurs. It is "possible" to secure hook it, but that would come at a performance impact. It would be running the code and everything else hooked into it twice.

I have been contemplating for a long time about removing the UITweaks module because of this and compatibility issues with other addons.

It's a well-known taint system bug that Blizzard has given up on fixing. It's complaining about a function it hasn't even accessed yet.

You can turn them on running this command.

Code:

/console scriptErrors 1

You are right! It's not caused by Real Mob Health. It's some kind of different addon combination. I updated the addon when I noticed it so I suspected it to be the culprit but after more testing it's not!

Sorry about that

Thanks!

What to comment out in the lua, if no ingame option provided.

Interface Options > AddOns tab > RealMobHealth > Show Tooltip Feedback
Uncheck that.

This requires rewriting Blizzard's format function, which breaks other addons. The UITweaks module just adds the text fields back in that Blizzard removed. They still left the format function running on the bars, so no further modification was needed other than to feed health data into the format function when possible,
