| 20:09.57 | Bloodwalker | your not supposed to duck unless its yellow snow |
| 20:14.46 | Thurwell | Is there a way to tell if a function exists? |
| 20:14.58 | Thurwell | I mean can I just if function== nil it? |
| 20:15.24 | Thurwell | one way to find out I guess |
| 20:15.32 | Bloodwalker | that would work or type(function) == "function" |
| 20:16.15 | Bloodwalker | because it could exist but not be a function |
| 20:16.26 | Thurwell | Gah. BUt the stupid function is in an element namespace. I guess I have to create the element first |
| 20:16.40 | Thurwell | Idiot waaaghbar authors |
| 20:16.59 | Bloodwalker | so.. if function ~= nil and type(function) == "function" then |
| 20:17.13 | Thurwell | Ok, I'll do that |
| 20:17.38 | Thurwell | One waaaghbar has a function newcustomelement to make graphical elements, it totally doesn't exist in the other. But they both have the same mod name |
| 20:19.00 | Bloodwalker | that could be confusing |
| 20:20.01 | Thurwell | It is |
| 20:20.11 | Thurwell | trying to have my addon figure out which waaaghbar is loaded... |
| 20:20.36 | Thurwell | HRm. that didn't work |
| 20:20.49 | Bloodwalker | they didnt implement a table of loaded bars? |
| 20:21.24 | Thurwell | I don't want to load my addon into that table at all if it's the wrong waaaghbar |
| 20:22.22 | Bloodwalker | oh you mean an old version of waaghbar |
| 20:22.48 | Thurwell | No there's two forks of it |
| 20:22.57 | Thurwell | I'm not even going to deal with the old one |
| 20:24.08 | Bloodwalker | sounds like a PITA |
| 20:24.17 | Thurwell | function arguments expected near ~= |
| 20:24.19 | Thurwell | it is |
| 20:24.32 | Thurwell | I got the bright idea, hey, what if this mod worked in all bar mods. |
| 20:24.46 | Thurwell | But it's not going to work in lingy's waaaghbar, not possible |
| 20:25.59 | sysrage | somebody needs to make a mod that keeps chat windows visible during the worthless flight cut scenes ;) |
| 20:26.21 | Thurwell | pretty sure that's impossible, sys |
| 20:26.42 | sysrage | too bad |
| 20:27.00 | Thurwell | Man, lingy's waaaghbar sucks too. Does that guy know about the /debug window? Spams error message left and right |
| 20:27.06 | Bloodwalker | in some cases you actually zone to a negative zone during cutscenes |
| 20:27.39 | sysrage | sure seems like it should be possible since i still hear the dings from chatalert |
| 20:27.47 | sysrage | so chat is still happening, just hidden |
| 20:29.00 | Bloodwalker | not just hidden the camera and interface get taken over by the cutscene |
| 20:29.12 | sysrage | sucks |
| 20:29.39 | Bloodwalker | not like the scenes last long |
| 20:30.18 | sysrage | when you're having a conversation, the combination of the cut scene and the loading screen is annoying as shit IMO |
| 20:30.42 | sysrage | but i guess i'm easily annoyed |

| 20:37.15 | Thurwell | oh |
| 20:37.30 | Bloodwalker | and the whole definitionf for a ends at the end statement after the return true |
| 20:38.12 | Bloodwalker | function a() return true end... is the same as a = function() return true end |
| 20:38.48 | Thurwell | Ah, ok that works |
| 20:39.05 | Bloodwalker | thought it would |
| 20:39.34 | Bloodwalker | better off checking for functions then saved vars that could change |
| 20:40.02 | Thurwell | yeah, check for the function I want |
| 20:40.16 | Thurwell | nother question tho, just a sec |
| 20:40.44 | Bloodwalker | be even better if they implemented a version check function for you :) |
| 20:41.05 | Thurwell | I have no idea what the two of them are going to do with their version numbers tho |
| 20:41.21 | Bloodwalker | made sure I added that to MapMonster...returns true/false if the version if newer then major, minor |
| 20:42.46 | Thurwell | ugh, messed something up |

| 20:44.49 | Thurwell | if ( ( WaaaghBar.plugin:NewCustomElement ~= nil ) and ( type(WaaaghBar.plugin:NewCustomElement) == "function" )) |
| 20:44.56 | Thurwell | there something wrong with that line? |
| 20:45.20 | NigelTufnel | try if ( ( WaaaghBar.plugin:NewCustomElementl ) and ( type(WaaaghBar.plugin:NewCustomElement) == "function" )) |
| 20:45.43 | NigelTufnel | (remove the " ~= nil") |
| 20:46.03 | Bloodwalker | could also skip the first condition and jsut test for function... type should return "nil" if it doesnt exist |
| 20:46.09 | NigelTufnel | true |
| 20:46.18 | Thurwell | function arguments expected near ) |
| 20:46.35 | NigelTufnel | l |
| 20:46.43 | NigelTufnel | lua> type(asdfasdf) |
| 20:46.44 | lua_bot | NigelTufnel: nil |
| 20:47.10 | Thurwell | removing the whole first section, function arguments expected near ) again |
| 20:47.16 | Bloodwalker | but its part of an object which might be part of the problem |
| 20:47.27 | NigelTufnel | true |
| 20:47.43 | Bloodwalker | doesnt get returned the same way they are called |
| 20:48.34 | Bloodwalker | try this Thurwell... /script d(pcall(WaaaghBar.plugin:NewCustomElement)) whatd ya get |
| 20:49.14 | Thurwell | nothing, blank |
| 20:49.39 | Thurwell | what's pcall? |
| 20:50.08 | Bloodwalker | protected function call... traps the error so it doesnt halt your script |
| 20:50.33 | Thurwell | wait no sorry, messed up. It returned function arguments expected near ) |
| 20:50.41 | NigelTufnel | heh |
| 20:51.18 | Bloodwalker | shouldve returned a true or false along with that |
| 20:51.36 | Thurwell | Once you generate a UILog error processing stops, so nothing's generated |
| 20:52.24 | Bloodwalker | not with pcall.. control returns to the script jsut after your pcall |
| 20:52.48 | Thurwell | welp. didnt work tho |
| 20:52.49 | Bloodwalker | the true or false would be just above the error |
| 20:52.59 | Bloodwalker | should be false |
| 20:53.05 | Bloodwalker | cause it failed |
| 20:53.12 | Thurwell | nope, nothing |
| 20:54.13 | Thurwell | But if ( WaaaghBarPluginsOrder ~= nil ) works, since the one I want to ignore doesn't define that var |
| 20:55.01 | Thurwell | Klunky I admit, but the other methods just cause my whole addon not to initialize |
| 20:58.13 | Bloodwalker | I know theres a better way to check but .plugin being an object makes it different and I dont know enough about about metatables and OO in lua to do it off the top of my head |
| 20:58.24 | Thurwell | oh man, waaaghbar's fps tracker updates with onupdate, so it's like this little number spazzing out constantly |
| 20:58.39 | Thurwell | I'm not good with function in objects in lua |
| 20:59.25 | Bloodwalker | actually you could examin the metatable of the .plugin |
| 21:01.30 | Thurwell | is there a way to have a handleinput true window pass input through to a window behind it? |
| 21:01.34 | Bloodwalker | try.. local objectMeta = getmetatable(WaaaghBar.plugin) |
| 21:02.23 | Bloodwalker | then check the objectMeta for the function NewCustomElement.. |
| 21:02.42 | Bloodwalker | no thats kind of the point of handleinput.. |
| 21:02.51 | Thurwell | hrm |
| 21:02.55 | Thurwell | I hate waaaghbar |
| 21:04.45 | Thurwell | table paramis nil |
| 21:06.28 | Thurwell | oh wait, my bad |
| 21:08.45 | Thurwell | Oh shoot, so much for saved variable idea. He didn't actually ever initialize and use that var |
| 21:09.57 | Bloodwalker | not sure the metatable would work either.. really havent spent enough time figuring out the objects in lua yet |
| 21:10.44 | Bloodwalker | but thats definately the stumbling block is that its an object and :NewCustomElement actually calls the functions and doesnt give you the value of NewCustomeElement |
| 21:11.34 | Thurwell | oh |
| 21:11.37 | Thurwell | hmm |
| 21:11.52 | Thurwell | what if I just replace the : with a . |
| 21:12.14 | Bloodwalker | dont think itll work but can try |
| 21:14.46 | Aiiane | er? |
| 21:14.52 | Aiiane | what are you trying to do |
| 21:14.59 | Thurwell | there we go, it works |
| 21:15.20 | Thurwell | I figured if : was calling the function maybe . would just check to see if the object is in the table |
| 21:15.21 | Bloodwalker | guess it did work |
| 21:15.53 | Bloodwalker | I'll have to look at objects more when I get the time :) |
| 21:16.01 | Aiiane | the only reason to use : is for calling a function and automatically passing 'self' |
| 21:17.10 | Bloodwalker | Thurwell was trying to test for the existance of a function.. after some muddling we got it sorted out and works now |
| 21:17.53 | Thurwell | so you could replace Compact_VPs.Waaagh:NewCustomElement(stuff) with Compact_VPs.Waaagh.NewCustomElement(self,stuff) and it's the same thing? |
| 21:19.22 | Thurwell | I was wondering why I was feeding in less parameters than that function calls for, that explains it |
| 21:19.52 | Thurwell | ah well, 3/4, on to SNT Bar |
| 21:21.48 | Aiiane | Bloodwalker: object.function and object:function are the same function |
| 21:22.02 | Aiiane | one just passes "self" as the first argument invisibly |
| 21:22.06 | Aiiane | so yes, Thurwell |
| 21:22.21 | Aiiane | and that counts for both declaration and invocation |
| 21:22.26 | Aiiane | I could declare a function |
| 21:22.36 | Aiiane | function myObj:afunc(test) |
| 21:22.48 | Aiiane | and call it with myObj.afunc(myObj, test) |
| 21:23.02 | Aiiane | or vice versa, declare it as myObj.afunc(self, test) |
| 21:23.13 | Aiiane | and call it as myObj:afunc(test) |
| 21:23.40 | NigelTufnel | ah cant believe I missed that, perl works the same way basically |
| 21:24.06 | Aiiane | object.function(self, ...) <===> object:function() |
| 21:27.26 | Thurwell | oh god this SNT Bar addons hurts my eyes |
| 21:32.07 | Thurwell | Huh, did you know windowcreatefromtemplate("Window_1","Window_1") works just fine |
| 21:32.24 | Bloodwalker | Yup :) |
| 21:32.55 | Bloodwalker | though Im typically much more descritive in my choice of names for vars and windows |
| 21:33.11 | Thurwell | Just an example |
| 21:34.00 | *** join/#waruidev PenguinOfDoom (n=PenguinO@spleen.xzrq.net) |
| 21:34.21 | PenguinOfDoom | How do I make buff icons not overlap everything, including squared? |
| 21:35.47 | Bloodwalker | the default buff icons? far as I know they jsut keep growing down |
| 21:35.57 | Thurwell | Squared wanders aroudn outside it's layout editor window (since that's not it's window), so be more careful where you put it |
| 21:38.19 | Thurwell | and make sure you don't resize squared's anchor, that messes it up |
| 21:39.07 | Aiiane | er? |
| 21:39.14 | Aiiane | you can resize its anchor if you want to scale it |
| 21:40.48 | Thurwell | Still get the same size squares as defined by pixel size, yes? |
| 21:40.56 | Aiiane | no |
| 21:41.07 | Thurwell | Hmm. |
| 21:41.07 | Aiiane | scaling is applied in sequence |
| 21:41.17 | Thurwell | Guess that's what I did wrong |
| 21:41.51 | Thurwell | For the longest time I couldn't squish down the font small enough to fit in my squared bars (I use it as a unit frame), it was because it was scaled up so all the fonts were too big |
| 21:42.04 | Thurwell | took me forever to figure out why |
| 21:44.26 | sysrage | aiiane: you would know. is there any access to the UI at all during flight cut scenes? completely impossible to make chat and/or scenario queues show during them? chatalert still plays sounds during them. |
| 21:54.24 | Aiiane | WindowSetDrawWhenInterfaceHidden ? |
| 21:54.25 | Aiiane | not sure |
| 21:54.34 | Aiiane | if that would work or not |
| 22:00.08 | Thurwell | Woo, compatible with all the bar mods. Hopefully that's useful |

| 22:34.46 | Aiiane | (just giving you grief ^^) |
| 22:34.47 | NigelTufnel | =] |
| 22:35.26 | Repo | 10pure: 03wikki * r19 Source (7 files in 1 directory): Added group window dispel flagging |
| 22:36.42 | Thurwell | Heh. but C++ is all I really know, I'm not a software engineer |
| 22:36.44 | Thurwell | mechanical in fact |
| 22:50.57 | Bloodwalker | so work on building a better dwarf copter that goes higher then 5 feet off the ground :) |
| 22:57.55 | Thurwell | is onupdate in systemdata.events somewhere? |
| 22:58.59 | Bloodwalker | should be listed as UPDATE_PROCESSED |
| 22:59.40 | Thurwell | ah, thanks, needed it in lua so I could unregister it when I'm not updating a certain timer |
| 23:01.13 | Bloodwalker | for the debug log its better to do it in the xml and jsut skip doing anything if you dont need it |
| 23:01.37 | Bloodwalker | registering it using LUA adds to the debug log.. doing it by xml it never shows in the debug log as a function call |
| 23:01.41 | Thurwell | It's my vp tracker, in scenarios it shows scen timer + scen points. But leave scenario and why do I need to have an onupdate registered |
| 23:02.06 | Aiiane | sadly, performance wise it's still better to do it from xml due to debug log overhead |
| 23:02.54 | Thurwell | as in have a if (not inscenario) then return end <-- better to have that running all the time? |
| 23:03.00 | Aiiane | yes |
| 23:03.07 | Thurwell | that's pretty strange |
| 23:03.25 | Aiiane | well, the thing is |
| 23:03.42 | Aiiane | it takes a rather insignificant amount of time to do that if then return end |
| 23:03.55 | Aiiane | it takes a less insignificant amount of time to add an entry to the debug log |
| 23:05.21 | Thurwell | no idea what that means, but i'll take your word for it and do it in the mod file |
| 23:06.52 | Bloodwalker | Id have to test it not sure how itd work for you.. but in one of my addons I register an empty function for onupdate.. and during the init I redefine the function if I need it |
| 23:08.04 | Thurwell | I need a scen to pop so I can test this now |
| 23:09.02 | Thurwell | All I need to add is fortress mode, contested city mode, and city scenario mode |
| 23:09.20 | Thurwell | except I haven't the vaguest idea what happens in a contested city |
| 23:09.37 | Bloodwalker | for the most part its just like a scenario with objectives |
| 23:09.55 | Thurwell | pulls data from a different table tho, doesn't it? |
| 23:10.17 | Bloodwalker | that I really dont know... do you have MapMonster installed? |
| 23:10.29 | Thurwell | no |
| 23:11.05 | Thurwell | ONce I get around to publishing compact_vps on forge I have warboard compass to test, which depends on mapmonster navigator, which depends on mapmonster... |
| 23:11.14 | Thurwell | so then I'll have it :) |
| 23:12.47 | Bloodwalker | try this open your map and type /script EA_Window_WorldMap.SetMap(GameDefs.MapLevel.ZONE_MAP, 167) |
| 23:13.24 | Bloodwalker | thats the map for the inveitable city under attack |
| 23:14.57 | Thurwell | oh lord are my anchors off |
| 23:28.40 | Thurwell | alright, it works and I got 2k renown |
| 23:29.04 | Thurwell | oof, but it doesn't leave scen correctly |
| 23:31.00 | Thurwell | sigh |
| 23:32.26 | Thurwell | and you can't turn off the scenario tracker. sigh |
| 23:32.52 | Bloodwalker | doh |
| 23:32.52 | Thurwell | Now I have to write my own little windowcleaner doohicky for it? |
| 23:33.29 | Bloodwalker | for the ea scenario tracker? |
| 23:33.40 | Thurwell | yeah |
| 23:33.47 | Thurwell | holy crap, windowcleaner isn't a simple mod |
| 23:36.16 | Thurwell | maybe if I ask nice aii will add the scenario tracker to windowcleaners |
| 23:36.46 | Bloodwalker | bribery usually has positive results |
| 23:39.11 | Thurwell | Or I could try just throwing windowsetshowing false in my scenario start and see what happens |
| 23:40.29 | Thurwell | But how do I know my hook is called before EA? any way to tell that? |
| 23:44.17 | Aiiane | um, if it's an actual hook, you know exactly when it's called |
| 23:44.21 | Aiiane | event handlers aren't hooks though |
| 23:47.14 | Bloodwalker | event handlers seem to fire in the order they are registered |
| 23:48.06 | Thurwell | Ah. well I don't know anything about real hooks |
| 23:49.34 | NigelTufnel | check the API, its got a nice summary on hooks |
| 23:51.58 | Thurwell | It does, but it's a bit above my head so I figured I'd try to understand it when I actually need it |
| 23:52.15 | Aiiane | it's actually a fairly simple concept |
| 23:52.28 | Aiiane | if function A is calling function B, and you want to do something before function B |
| 23:52.41 | Aiiane | you store a reference to the function B used to be pointing to |
| 23:52.45 | Aiiane | replace B with your own function |
| 23:52.54 | Aiiane | and then in your own function, call B as convenient |
| 23:53.09 | Aiiane | so A goes to call B, but since you replaced it, calls your function instead |
| 23:53.11 | Thurwell | so to prevent the scenario window popping I'd just replace it's initialize and not call it |
| 23:53.28 | Aiiane | erm. probably not initialize |
| 23:53.34 | Aiiane | probably whatever function actually displays it |
| 23:53.42 | NigelTufnel | if there was something like ScenarioWindow.Show() |
| 23:53.45 | NigelTufnel | you would hook that |
| 23:53.56 | NigelTufnel | and not call it |
| 23:54.16 | Aiiane | Preferably, you'd call it and then call WindowSetShowing |
| 23:54.17 | Thurwell | function EA_Window_ScenarioTracker.Show() |
| 23:54.20 | Aiiane | breaking hook chains is bad |
| 23:54.27 | NigelTufnel | yeah |
| 23:54.42 | Thurwell | but I'd need a check first, cause for some scenarios points+timer isn't enough info |
