Lunar Sphere woes

Lunar Sphere was abandoned several years ago, but it still functions for the most part. I can't read code language, so I was just wondering if someone could show me exactly what to edit to make these errors go away (or someone pleasepleaseplease adopt this amazing addon I can't live without?). The first thing is half of my LS buttons are covered in an ugly white box - that's just aesthetic, so while it's ugly, I can live with it. The second problem is this error message that happens whenever I try to cast a spell from one of my LS buttons while moving.

Thanks!

My idea you coud also use oUF_Donut and Ion instead. I don't think its easy to update.

oUF Donut is purely a unit frame addon and wouldn't work as a replacement for Lunar Sphere. Ion, as an action bar replacement addon, is a lot closer for a replacement for "Lunar Sphere". About the only things its' missing are the center orb and the "fly-out" that all buttons in "Lunar Sphere" have. The functionality that the center orb has could probably be replaced by kgPanels with a little bit of work. The "fly-out" buttons are another matter, though. It could probably be done with FlyoutButton Custom, but with the release of WoW 6.1, I don't know, and it might not work with Ion.

Well, anyway, that's my ideas. I don't know if that would work or not.

EDIT: @Tonyleila: I didn't realize you meant to use oUF Donut for the center orb. DOH!! I've got to start reading, instead of "skimming" these posts. :mad: :o /EDIT

EDIT 2: That error looks like it was caused by "ErrorMonster" and not by "LunarSphere". Try disabling "ErrorMonster" and installing !BugGrabber and BugSack. They use the Ace 3 libraries and are up-to-date. The Ace 2 libraries are not, as far as I know, and were abandoned about two years ago. /EDIT 2

Thanks for the input - I discovered something I was doing wrong that was breaking a lot more of my addons than should have been (I ended up with two WoW installations on separate drives, and my addons were only getting updated on one of them). This error is from LunarSphere:

Code:

If you just would like to get rid of the error then changing line 637 to

Lua Code:

for index = 1, (string.len(itemSpellID[itemCatagory] or 0) / 6) do

probably could fix it. :)

Now I'm having this error - only seems to happen when I AoE a large group:

You should skip it. You won't get happy with that. Use something that is still maintained.

What Duugu said. "Script ran too long" is usually code for "really old and really horrible code that needs to be rewritten from the ground up" which takes a lot of time and effort. If someone wanted to put time and effort into this addon, it wouldn't be abandoned. I'm actually really surprised it managed to hang on as late as 2012 -- the last time I heard about this type of addon was late BC or early Wrath.

Some addons that haven't been mentioned yet that might help you recreate the look and/or feel:

FlyoutButton Custom for creating your own action pop-ups on the default action bars, Bartender4, and some other mods.
OPie for creating pop-up action rings separate from your action bars. You can use it with the mouse (eg. press the middle button to open the ring, move the cursor toward the ability on the ring you want to use, release the button to use that ability) or with keybinds (eg. press P to open a ring with all your mage portals, then press O to cast your Orgrimmar portal while the ring is open).
Masque + Masque: Serenity to make your action buttons round with white borders. There are lots of other skins too.
OPie Masque to add Masque support to OPie if you're using both.
