Anyone else having the following issues:
I am having this issue constantly with elv. Their discord is -2304983323% helpful. It’s literally the only addon I’m running other than DBM.
If I disable it, no issues. I’ve done fresh installs etc; I followed the pins for troubleshooting in disc, I’m getting no lua errors. Anyone around that can help?
Wow.
Just wow.
First of all, you only posted on that discord about 40 minutes ago and you refused to follow their very simple rules for isolating errors and reporting them (shut off all addons except ElvUI) and then argued with them about that (you never once said on that discord that you actually followed the pins - just that it worked when you shut ElvUI off and it and DBM were your only addons).
Short of having them make a trip to your house and doing it themselves, I don’t know what you wanted them to do?
The ElvUI support staff are some of the best, most polite, and most responsive in the WoW AddOn universe. I’ve reported (properly) bugs and had them send me a personal release to test within half a day. For unpaid staff, that’s utterly amazing.
You might want to check the attitude at the door, follow their instructions, and let the process work.
Wow.
Just wow.
I never trashed the devs, I simply said the discord was unhelpful. Which is true.
Also, I said I didn’t get any lua errors - which is what the pins give you to run a script for. Which I did…and got no errors.
Grow up.
All problems, errors or otherwise, you have to follow the pins - disable everything EXCEPT ElvUI.
ElvUI is a full UI replacement and touches virtually every part of the client.
That you’ve STILL not said that you’ve done that tells me that you don’t understand it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s only DBM running along side it. DBM has far more frequent “fixes” than ElvUI does (I have both) and is far less stable.
Follow the instructions before you start claiming that they’re “not helpful” - you have to help yourself in this matter.
If after you’ve done that you still have a problem, open a bug report.
It doesn’t have to produce an error message to be a bug.
I reported one once simply because the minimum space between buttons on bars 7-10 was 1 and on bars 1-6 it was 0. No “error message” was produced at all. But it’s still a bug.
They have a process, and it’s a solid one, and they’re not going to be able to be particularly helpful to you if you can’t be bothered to follow it.
So yes, child, the rules apply to you too.
Whatever. I did. I said in the disc that I had.
Grow up.
So, you opened a bug report and then came here complaining that, in the 40 minutes since you started this process, the Discord was monumentally unhelpful?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
No, I said in discord that I did do the stuff in the sticky like running lua area’s to copy/paste.
I don’t know why you’re trying to make this into something it’s not. Go outside, or something.
Because you took your impatience out on them not just jumping right on a bug you didn’t actually report properly here in the forums. That’s a Richard move for sure.
If, and I’m not convinced because I can’t find it on their bug list, you actually opened a bug report as you are supposed to, expecting a fix within 40 minute of your first post there is ridiculous and claiming that they Discord folks were unhelpful because they wouldn’t give you that is narcissist entitlement at a level that I can’t quite wrap my head around.
Ehiz stop being petulant. You’re not helping anyone, least of all your own reputation, by berating someone who’s asking for help.
Vartonis, try doing these in order:
Reset your CVars to default:
/console cvar_default
ElvUI changes some CVars during install and many of them are stored server-side so reinstalling the game won’t reset them.
Reset your chat settings to default:
/chatreset
ElvUI does some weird stuff to your chat when you run the install wizard.
Re-enable Lua errors:
/run C_CVar.SetCVar("scriptErrors",1) ReloadUI()
See if you can reproduce the issues.
If you can get an error then debugging can start otherwise it’ll be incredibly difficult for the devs to fix unless one of them is able to duplicate the problem consistently.
Thank you! Now let’s see if it happens again.
Also, for the record, the discord conversation he’s lambasting me over really wasn’t dramatic at all.
I asked the same question, someone responded with I should check the sticky and trouble shoot and told me to disable addons to which I responded with:
I only run two addons elvui and dbm
Then I said
I have (in reference to the sticky), I’m not able to get any lua errors.
Then this guy goes and posts in the discord I’m trashing the devs on the forums.
I think he’s just having a bad day.
Yeah still getting the issue, but I’m not getting anything that I can screenshot to report - no errors are popping up. I think I’m just going to swap to plexus and bartender. This is maddening.
Not going to be able to help with your issue, but can confirm getting a boatload of UI issues today (and had zero issues last night even)
Elvui seems to be one the big offenders, with bgs unable to be entered…
TSM and Arkinventory where two others going nuts on my end, fwiw…
Whatever happened, apparently happened in the last 16 hours on my end.
Step 1 worked fine
Step 2 does absolutely nothing?
Step 3. upon reload i get
Interface\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua:886: attempt to call global ‘mod’ (a number value)
Interface\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua:886: attempt to call global ‘mod’ (a number value)
[string “=[C]”]: in function mod' [string "@Interface\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua"]:886: in function ChatConfig_CreateTieredCheckboxes’
[string “@Interface\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua”]:676: in function <Interface\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua:664>
BG queu icon is not visible in the mini map window, and no popup occurs when the bg is ready to be joined.
This problem appears to be for Classic and/or Classsic TBC.
The error would indicate that some addon has redeclared the global “mod” (the modulo function) as a numeric variable probably by leaving of the local declaration.
Maybe a search of your Classic and Classic-Era addons (whichever is causing problems) for the text:
mod = or mod=
and if you find
mod = xxx
instead of
local mod = xxx
you’ve probably found the culprit.
I’m not being petulant. The OP is an impatient, entitled purveyor of untruth who maligned people I know and respect.
There is no possible way that he opened a ticket with this and that’s the process in the pins.
He repeated there what he repeated here - that the bug disappeared when ElvUI wasn’t in use - which proves nothing.
I’ve little tolerance for anyone who slanders others and none at all for anyone who slanders people I know are doing a good job for no pay.
I never once said the Discord conversation was “dramatic” - I said he claimed HERE that they were monumentally unhelpful when they in fact pointed him at the pins on how to report a bug and he refused to follow the instructions there (or communicated there so badly that it amounts to the same thing).
I’m not having a particularly bad day. I encountered a particularly toxic individual and refused to go quietly away.
This is so beyond dramatic, over literally nothing.
You literally said that I put devs and people on blast on the forums, and was trashing them.
Someone here is being an entitled purveyor of untruth, but it sure as heck isn’t me.
You’re just being a dramatic jackwagon.
From the author (in other words, not me):
Just to let you developers know: My latest ECS update (v2.8.8) is broken big times. If your users report issues about
modbeing a number value: It is most likely ExtendedCharacterStats.I am not at home atm, but will ship a fixed version tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble.
You attacked my friends.
I called you on it.
You’re unhappy about that.
Get over it you bloviating child.
I’m sorry you’re unable to understand basic things and can’t seem to grow up.
You attacked my friends.
I called you on it.
You didn’t like it.
That seems pretty basic to me.
I suppose you can claim forever that NOT opening a ticket and just telling the Discord channel that you had a problem but couldn’t be bothered to follow their instructions and then them not jumping through hoops to isolate it and fix it for you was being “unhelpful” but it seems a lot more like the problem was on your end.
Disable everything except ElvUI (not disable ElvUI and see if the problem goes away) - if the problem repeats - open a ticket.
That’s pretty basic.
Too hard for you, but pretty basic.
