| 14:21.56 | AcidWeb | That is part of master plan ThiefMaster. |
| 14:22.18 | AcidWeb | To make people life miserable. |
| 15:02.01 | nevcairiel | certainly, because unhappy players just play the game so much more *rollseyes* |
| 15:14.39 | Chipzz | nevcairiel: btw, thanks for the hint about OrderHall addon yesterday... reading the UIParent code made me go back to my emulator and allowed me to remove a hack I had in lua code to force-load some Blizzard addons |
| 15:15.05 | Chipzz | there's still some Blizzard addons that I haven't figured out where they get loaded though |
| 15:15.57 | Chipzz | the WorldMap addon among others is a mystery to me |
| 15:17.18 | nevcairiel | WorldMap is not LoadOnDemand, it just always loads |
| 15:21.45 | Chipzz | hmmm, so I should just force-load all Blizzard AddOns that are not LoadOnDemand? makes sense I guess |
| 15:21.57 | nevcairiel | thats just the normal addon loading process |
| 15:22.02 | nevcairiel | the blizzard addons are not special |
| 15:23.56 | Chipzz | not entirely; non-blizzard addons that are not LOD you can choose to either enable or disable |
| 15:24.28 | Chipzz | blizzard addons that are not LOD get loaded unconditionally (you can not disable them) |
| 15:25.06 | nevcairiel | i suppose they are exempt from being disabled to avoid people messing up their UI |
| 15:30.01 | Chipzz | but makes sense; I made a fresh char with no addons (other than ACP) enabled yesterday and checked which Blizzard addons were loaded by default; that list seems to match a grep on the addons folder |
| 15:31.36 | Chipzz | what makes less sense is why these addons are addons in the first place then and not part of FrameXML or SharedXML |
| 15:42.39 | nevcairiel | just organizational properties i reckon, also possibly load order, as its guaranteed to load after everything of FrameXML is done |
| 15:46.08 | AcidWeb | Also it make sense to load some features on demand as that part of ui may not be used at all during current session. |
| 15:56.30 | Chipzz | AcidWeb: I was talking about the Blizzard addons that are /not/ LOD |
| 15:56.42 | Chipzz | and thus get loaded unconditionally |
| 15:57.04 | AcidWeb | ah my bad |
| 15:57.33 | Chipzz | the difference between "part of FrameXML" and "not LOD so loaded unconditionally" is arbitrary |
| 15:58.40 | Chipzz | force-loading these addons popped up a whole load of new errors |
| 16:00.25 | Chipzz | one thing that stands out as slightly confusing is the PTR addon using "hooksecurefunc"; I had a stub for "hooksecurefunction", so now I'm not sure if that change or if I got it wrong all along |
| 16:00.53 | Chipzz | note the subtle missing "tion" at the end |
| 16:01.40 | nevcairiel | its always been hooksecurefunc |
| 16:02.01 | nevcairiel | but its mostly provided for addons, the base UI rarely used it, but i suppose that feedback addon is an ok case |
| 16:02.23 | Chipzz | *nod* |
| 16:02.37 | Chipzz | I wonder where I got the "hooksecurefunction" from then |
| 16:03.15 | Chipzz | probably brainfart on my part :p |
| 16:05.33 | Chipzz | Blizzard_PTRFeedback/Blizzard_PTRFeedback_Frames.lua:635: bad argument #-2 to 'SetBackdrop' (string expected, got nil)|r |
| 16:05.51 | Chipzz | wait what? negative argument index lol? :) |
| 16:06.12 | Chipzz | sometimes I wonder how this thing doesn't even segfault on startup :p |
| 16:27.59 | Chipzz | well that is cute :) |
| 16:28.23 | Chipzz | after fixing that the PTR feedback frame pops up and it even has walking ants :) |
| 16:28.50 | Chipzz | which is sorta surprising since neither Animation nor AnimationGroup is implemented :p |
| 16:29.52 | Chipzz | same kind of surprise when I found out the pet unit frame was glowing too |
| 16:50.03 | Gethe | they use an on update script to animate the ants. True animations are only used to fade then in/out on start/finish |
| 16:53.15 | Chipzz | yeah that's what I figured, can't be arsed to check :) |
| 16:53.25 | Chipzz | but point is, that's the joy of programming |
| 16:53.38 | Chipzz | fixing stuff until... something really unexpected happens :) |
| 16:53.48 | Gethe | indeed |
| 16:54.00 | Chipzz | and then "oh this is fucking nice!" :) |
| 16:55.47 | Chipzz | where "fixing stuff" == implementing stubs so shit doesn't error out too early |

| 20:45.11 | guill | @Chipzz: In Lua's C API, a negative stack index just counts from the top of the stack instead of the bottom, so that's where the negative argument number comes from https://www.lua.org/pil/24.2.3.html |
| 20:45.38 | guill | Also, hi everyone! Hope quarantine is going ok for you all |
| 20:47.33 | Chipzz | guill: I'm very familiar with the lua API, I wrote a wow emulator :) |
| 20:47.36 | Ennea | hi there o/ that's interesting trivia (if one could call it that ;D). doing well during quarantine so far |
| 20:47.53 | Chipzz | guill: but the thing is |
| 20:48.24 | Chipzz | guill: when checking for arguments, you should be using positive indices, so in that context the error message does not make sense |
| 20:50.38 | guill | Yeah, I don't know why that specific function would be using negative. Usually it would be due to an optional argument in the middle of the parameter list, but I don't think SetBackdrop has one |
| 20:50.39 | Chipzz | anyway the error message related to the part of my code where I was checking fields in a lua table; not the function arguments, so the error message did not make sense |
| 20:51.10 | Chipzz | guill: 10:29 < Chipzz> http://chipzz.safehex.be/worldofwhatever.tar.gz for those who are interested; create a separate folder and extract the archive in there, the archive contains all files in the root directory |
| 20:51.24 | Chipzz | guill: it's my own source code |
| 20:51.58 | Chipzz | the weird thing is there is on -2 in that entire function (you want to be looking at UI/Frame.lua.cc ) |
| 20:52.33 | Chipzz | but I fixed it by adding a "if (!lua_isnil(...))" in the right location |
