Code loading priority help

[Caellian]

Ok so, i have this addon, that runs as a dependency for almost all my other addons

http://pastebin.com/jUcx1dy8

It's been serving me well for several years. The thing is, i'm in the process of redoing my entire UI, and at the same time, move all my addons into one.

That part is almost complete and works great exept for this one.

Because it was a dependency for everything else, i was guaranteed that it would be executed first but not anymore since my UI is now one big single addon.

In short, i need a way to execute this first before any other code. I've tried several different ways, but all failed, either silently (no error but no pixel adjustment) or with an error (attempt to perform arithmetic on upvalue "ScaleFix")

This isn't very clear i know and i'm sorry about that

WoW loads your AddOn files in the order they're listed in the TOC, so you should just be able to list CaelLib's file first.

Yeah no, that's not what i meant, there's only one addon, and only one file in the toc. the UI.xml listing all the files. Putting this code above first in the XML doesn't help. Wish it was that easy lol

That sounds like a pretty bad way to set up your addon -- it would probably be better to break it up into discrete parts, eg. CaelUI_UnitFrames, CaelUI_ActionBars, etc. -- but regardless of that, there's no way that listing a file first doesn't make it load first. If your "lib" file isn't being loaded first, then you've listed something else before it. Double-check your TOC and XML files, and/or post your actual files.

Well, i can guarantee that it's not a TOC or xml issue.

The TOC only loads caelUI.xml

and here's the XML

I don't say that it doesn't load first, i only say that if it's not loaded as an external addon, it just doesn't work, either silently or with the error above.

Okay, so what is the actual error message?
