| 10:13.47 | LloydK | morning |
| 10:13.55 | jnwhiteh | good morning. |
| 10:17.55 | LloydK | got those FrameXML files and the like, and I think hooksecurefun() might be useful for what i want |
| 10:18.07 | jnwhiteh | okay, how so? |
| 10:18.37 | LloydK | because I can use it on GameTooltip and should be able to pull the text right? |
| 10:19.14 | jnwhiteh | you can pull text from the tooltip without needing hooksecurefun |
| 10:19.16 | jnwhiteh | c |
| 10:19.21 | jnwhiteh | but that should not be necessary |
| 10:19.22 | jnwhiteh | one moment. |
| 10:19.46 | LloydK | really? But how would I know when the needed tooltip is showing? At least this way it acts like a callback |
| 10:19.57 | jnwhiteh | hold on a moment. |
| 10:19.59 | jnwhiteh | please |
| 10:22.30 | jnwhiteh | are you positive the information is even available in the tooltip |
| 10:22.32 | jnwhiteh | ? |
| 10:23.14 | LloydK | Yes |
| 10:23.51 | LloydK | but if not it still might be useful to learn |
| 10:23.58 | jnwhiteh | "but if not" |
| 10:24.01 | jnwhiteh | so you're not sure |
| 10:24.17 | jnwhiteh | okay its there |
| 10:24.20 | jnwhiteh | now I have to figure out how it gets there |
| 10:25.23 | LloydK | I was pretty sure it was but it 10:25 and i've only been awake an hour :) |
| 10:28.42 | jnwhiteh | it is the second return from GameTooltip:SetBagItem(bag, slot) |
| 10:28.43 | jnwhiteh | so |
| 10:29.30 | jnwhiteh | local hrm |
| 10:29.32 | jnwhiteh | or not. |
| 10:29.52 | jnwhiteh | oh no, thats repair cost |
| 10:30.13 | jnwhiteh | what you need to do is HookScript OnTooltipAddMoney |
| 10:30.15 | jnwhiteh | which gets two arguments |
| 10:30.18 | jnwhiteh | self (the tooltip) |
| 10:30.22 | jnwhiteh | and cost (the cost of the item in copper) |
| 10:30.44 | jnwhiteh | but have to make sure you don't pick up repair costs instead |
| 10:30.47 | jnwhiteh | which is non-trivial |
| 10:30.49 | LloydK | yeh |
| 10:30.55 | LloydK | there's a function isnt their |
| 10:30.57 | jnwhiteh | this is a rather complicated thing to be doing |
| 10:31.01 | jnwhiteh | as a simple addon |
| 10:31.19 | LloydK | I like the deep end, more room to swim |
| 10:32.16 | jnwhiteh | well as I said |
| 10:32.16 | jnwhiteh | sellfish does all of this |
| 10:32.16 | jnwhiteh | so feel free to look there |
| 10:32.21 | jnwhiteh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:32.29 | jnwhiteh | that will print a message every time money is added to the tooltip |
| 10:34.05 | LloydK | ok cool thanks, I have SellFish too trying to understand what that does :) |

| 17:30.54 | jnwhiteh | hello! |
| 17:30.59 | Wesley_ | hi |
| 17:31.10 | jnwhiteh | What problem are you having with CombatTracker? |
| 17:31.34 | Wesley_ | well for starters the description isn't showing up in the addon list |
| 17:31.38 | jnwhiteh | (I'll be here for another 10 minutes or so) |
| 17:31.45 | jnwhiteh | have you exited the client? |
| 17:31.47 | Wesley_ | second it isn't showing up under my minimap... |
| 17:31.51 | jnwhiteh | did you verify that the files are in the correct locations |
| 17:31.51 | jnwhiteh | well |
| 17:31.55 | jnwhiteh | start with the first problem |
| 17:31.56 | jnwhiteh | =) |
| 17:32.03 | Wesley_ | have launched and relaunched wow multiple times :D |
| 17:32.05 | jnwhiteh | its the most important, since the rest won't work |
| 17:32.09 | jnwhiteh | Okay, where are the files located |
| 17:32.12 | jnwhiteh | and what are they named? |
| 17:32.29 | Wesley_ | CombatTracker.toc, CombatTracker.lua and CombatTracker.xml |
| 17:32.38 | jnwhiteh | and where are those files located? |
| 17:32.58 | Wesley_ | in Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/CombatTracker |
| 17:33.12 | Wesley_ | I'm on a mac, but that shouldn't be the problem |
| 17:33.20 | jnwhiteh | nope, i do all of my work on a Mac |
| 17:33.23 | jnwhiteh | and when you say the description doesn't show up |
| 17:33.24 | Wesley_ | ah good :D |
| 17:33.28 | jnwhiteh | what does that mean? |
| 17:33.30 | jnwhiteh | the line isn't there? |
| 17:33.32 | jnwhiteh | or is it lisyted |
| 17:33.35 | jnwhiteh | but something isn't displaying. |
| 17:33.57 | Wesley_ | it is listed, but you normally get the name of the addon + a small description when you hover over it in your addon list |
| 17:34.04 | jnwhiteh | yes |
| 17:34.07 | jnwhiteh | there's a small error in the .toc file |
| 17:34.07 | Wesley_ | but the name shows up in the small popup, but not the description |
| 17:34.11 | jnwhiteh | i believe it uses ## Desciprtion |
| 17:34.14 | jnwhiteh | or something liek that |
| 17:34.17 | jnwhiteh | it should be ## Notes |
| 17:34.20 | nevcairiel | a error in the book? unpossible! |
| 17:34.24 | jnwhiteh | lol |
| 17:34.26 | jnwhiteh | there are many |
| 17:34.29 | jnwhiteh | http://wowprogramming.com/chapters/12 |
| 17:34.39 | Wesley_ | ah there we go |
| 17:34.42 | jnwhiteh | it was a bit rushed.. against my wishes. |
| 17:34.47 | jnwhiteh | http://wowprogramming.com/chapters/12/errata |
| 17:34.47 | Wesley_ | hehe |
| 17:34.58 | jnwhiteh | have you enabled Lua errors |
| 17:35.06 | jnwhiteh | interface options -> help -> display lua errors |
| 17:35.15 | jnwhiteh | that will tell if you have any errors |
| 17:35.20 | jnwhiteh | yo should also check Logs\frameXML.log |
| 17:35.23 | Wesley_ | it is loaded |
| 17:35.23 | jnwhiteh | to see if that has anything relevant |
| 17:36.12 | Wesley_ | last line it says couldn't parse XML in (.....\CombatTracker.xml |
| 17:36.24 | jnwhiteh | then the XML in your file isn't right =) |
| 17:36.31 | jnwhiteh | try opening it in a web browser |
| 17:36.38 | jnwhiteh | Firefox |
| 17:36.47 | jnwhiteh | i dont know that safari will actually try to display it |
| 17:37.01 | jnwhiteh | or worse comes to worse.. post it on http://pastey.net with XML syntax highlighting |
| 17:37.03 | jnwhiteh | that should display the error. |
| 17:37.11 | Wesley_ | it shows a error |
| 17:37.18 | jnwhiteh | what error |
| 17:37.23 | jnwhiteh | it will likely tell you your issue |
| 17:37.31 | Wesley_ | xmlns:xsi="http:www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/ |
| 17:37.31 | Wesley_ | ^ |
| 17:37.53 | jnwhiteh | post your XML at http://pastey.net |
| 17:38.01 | jnwhiteh | and check XML as the language |
| 17:38.03 | jnwhiteh | so I can look at it. |
| 17:40.26 | Wesley_ | http://pastey.net/109865-1h8s |
| 17:40.42 | jnwhiteh | the i |
| 17:40.44 | jnwhiteh | is your issue |
| 17:40.47 | jnwhiteh | thats a typographical issue |
| 17:40.51 | jnwhiteh | it should be a continuiation character |
| 17:40.56 | jnwhiteh | i.e. that stuff is all supposed to be on the same line |
| 17:41.03 | jnwhiteh | remove that |
| 17:41.06 | jnwhiteh | and you should be find |
| 17:41.08 | jnwhiteh | fine |
| 17:41.37 | nevcairiel | also, the xmlns uri misses the //, but i doubt the blizzard parsers really reads that |
| 17:41.48 | jnwhiteh | it doesn't. |
| 17:41.53 | jnwhiteh | and "parsing" is well formed, not valid =) |
| 17:42.04 | nevcairiel | ztur |
| 17:42.05 | jnwhiteh | we've updated the XML prelude in the new edition |
| 17:42.06 | nevcairiel | *true |
| 17:42.08 | jnwhiteh | or are in the process of |
| 17:42.16 | jnwhiteh | ZTUR |
| 17:42.41 | nevcairiel | that happens when your left hand is off one key |
| 17:42.43 | Wesley_ | so ditch the "i", put it all on one line and add some // |
| 17:42.52 | nevcairiel | and of course, on qwertz instead if qwerty :) |
| 17:42.56 | jnwhiteh | removing the i is the big thing |
| 17:44.47 | Wesley_ | still nothing... |
| 17:45.03 | jnwhiteh | You have to look at the errors you are given |
| 17:45.07 | jnwhiteh | and verify the XML is valid |
| 17:45.15 | jnwhiteh | I can't do those remotely, sadly. |
| 17:45.29 | Wesley_ | ah found it ^^ |
| 17:45.37 | nevcairiel | XML is so overwhelming for a new dev, if you ask me |
| 17:45.45 | jnwhiteh | *shake* |
| 17:45.46 | Wesley_ | backgroun is not working, should be background :P |
| 17:45.50 | LloydK | XML is the easiest part |
| 17:45.54 | jnwhiteh | not if they learn to use the tools I give them |
| 17:46.03 | jnwhiteh | XML validation tells you 100% that you have a correct file. |
| 17:46.09 | LloydK | LUA is a pain in the arse |
| 17:46.14 | jnwhiteh | that's more than you get when arbitrarily trying to create new frames in Lua |
| 17:46.18 | jnwhiteh | THAT system is miserable. |
| 17:46.30 | jnwhiteh | I use XMLNanny to fully validate every XML file I write for wow |
| 17:46.34 | jnwhiteh | and it makes me so much happier |
| 17:47.20 | nevcairiel | I guess if you're used to XML you can actually imagine how it looks in game, i just prefer the Lua version, and got a feeling for it. Something else for everyone =) |
| 17:47.32 | jnwhiteh | again, you're right its preference |
| 17:47.37 | jnwhiteh | however there are tools for validating XML |
| 17:47.51 | jnwhiteh | and I can even make them a simple web form that tells them whats wrong with their file |
| 17:47.53 | jnwhiteh | I cannot do this with Lua |
| 17:47.56 | LloydK | IE will validate xml if you're desperate |
| 17:47.59 | jnwhiteh | *nod* |
| 17:48.01 | jnwhiteh | so will Firefox |
| 17:48.05 | jnwhiteh | that's why I suggest people do it |
| 17:48.10 | jnwhiteh | but I still prefer standalone validatros |
| 17:48.24 | jnwhiteh | especially when the schema is available via the web |
| 17:48.26 | jnwhiteh | (which it is) |
| 17:51.58 | jnwhiteh | I have to run to dinner and work, i'll be back a bit later tonight |
| 17:52.11 | Wesley_ | k thx for the help btw |
