Real Mob Health

Version: 2.18

by: SDPhantom [More]

Notice:
On February 18th, 2020, Blizzard released a hotfix that enables mob health to be displayed in the Default UI.
RealMobHealth has run its course and is now obsolete. I thank everyone for their support during the lifetime of this addon.

For existing users running the Default UI, here's a list of addons that'll provide an alternative to the UITweaks module.

2.18 (2020-01-11)
-Modified death detection to hold onto data a little longer to prevent mobs with reincarnation mechanics from spamming messages
-Internal timers now use C_Timer instead of OnUpdate to try to combat "No player named <Player> is currently playing." spam after being minimized

2.17 (2019-12-13)
-Added usage of INSTANCE_CHAT as a fallback for BATTLEGROUND. (Reports are saying BATTLEGROUND is defunct)

2.16 (2019-12-12)
-Added usage of BATTLEGROUND addon channel
-RAID/PARTY addon channels now check specifically for the home group category instead of all

2.15 (2019-12-11)

It's a well-known taint system bug that Blizzard has given up on fixing. It's complaining about a function it hasn't even accessed yet.

This specific issue is on Blizzard's end. As mentioned in the post immediately before yours, it's complaining about a function being tainted that it hasn't even run yet at the time the error occurs. It is "possible" to secure hook it, but that would come at a performance impact. It would be running the code and everything else hooked into it twice.

I have been contemplating for a long time about removing the UITweaks module because of this and compatibility issues with other addons.

Sounds like a Blizzard bug with the new addon YELL channel. Addon channels aren't supposed to be throttled.
I'll work on a way to mitigate this, but it won't completely get rid of the problem.
A bug report has been filed on the WoW Classic Forums.

Meanwhile, around line 43 in Comms.lua, you'll find this line.

Code:

SendMessage(pre,msg,"YELL");--	New channel in 1.13.3

Comment that out by putting two dashes in front of it like this.

Code:

--SendMessage(pre,msg,"YELL");--	New channel in 1.13.3

The problem is we're dealing with a different throttle than previously. It's configured incorrectly to spam the user and the limit makes it really easy to do so inadvertently.
