Given the symptoms, it sounds very much like something is going horribly wrong in UpdateTooltip(). Horribly, horribly wrong.

Since I haven't yet managed to reproduce it myself, I've been grasping at straws on exactly what that thing is. As you say, it sounds like it might well be a quest which triggers some weird condition which I can't see that hits an infinite loop.

(If people don't mind being slaves to a poor addon author's testing, lists of the quests that are in the logs of characters that crash would be very helpful.)

FuBar - QuestsFu (name changed) does the tooltip item/mob display. (Though I noticed that it's not doing it in the loot window, so I'll need to find out what else I have to hook for that.)

As for sounds... I don't know. I'll have to go look into how it's done.

I think this will clear up the problem Devla and others have experienced, but I haven't been able to duplicate it myself yet, so I'm not sure.
I really hope so, because I would love to use your addon

Hmmm. You have a PvP quest. None of my characters do -- this may be worth investigating.

Here's another possible oddity. This BossPanel freezes only when I log my druid. It doesn't freeze with my Hunter, Rogue, or warrior. The odd part ... it freezes when a friend of mine logs his druid. I don't believe he has any matching quests.

Here is the quest list for my wife's character. She is a 42 Nightelf Hunter. I will keep watching to see if you have any updates. If I get it to reproduce on any other characters I will post more info.

I have sat and compared all three posted quest logs. One thing I see is that ALL of them have at quest in TWO or more instances.

I am going to have wife ditch her one for mauradon, and try loading QuestFu (still Boss-quest on her machine). Will post results afterwards.




Edit: Same issue, slight change. This time it got as far as displaying 16/20 and hiccupped (ie moved a little) once. but then froze again and never came back.

Sooo my theory of two instances maybe out. If Devla had ZF quest, I would say it might be something with ZF quest.

Well, another commonality is a quest with 4 different items that need to be collected. There are not many of those either. So that may be a candidate as well?

Edit: Or maybe not. Another character, another freeze. No 4-item collection quest. I'll keep looking too.

Does this mod require BabbleLib now ? I just updated my FuBar mods, and keep getting messages:

In function 'UpdateData' FuBarUtils.Deformat("text", "pattern") has been deprecated. Please use BabbleLib:GetInstance("1.0").Deformat("text", "pattern")

I am using an English client, so I am hoping I don't need to add a useless dependancy on BabbleLib :\

Nah, it doesn't. As I understand it, BabbleLib is embedded in FuBar, so I just need to update my calls for the new API.

Removed the off-topic discussion. Back to QuestFu!

Sorry for the distraction, this was not the place to discuss it.

Okay. Here's two versions of it with some further checks added. If helpful people who're experiencing the lockup could try them out and let me know what happens I would be most appreciative.

First: FuBar_QuestsFu-0.2.1.1.a.zip is just 0.2.1 with some extra error-checking to try to prevent infinite loops.
Second: FuBar_QuestsFu-0.2.1.1.b.zip is 0.2.1.1.a with the objective-displaying in the tooltip ripped out.

I have some people mentioning that setting up character-specific profiles stopped it for them. I'm not sure why this would be, as I'm not storing anything particularly important. Especially not anything involved in loops.

Sadly, for both versions, I just get the same things as before.. the scan runs, but shortly after displaying the number of quests in the bar it freezes up.

Ditto on the "Profiles", for me, setting up a profile didn't change the problem. I created seperate profiles for characters, and left QuestFu out of them. But as soon as I enabled it, it would scan, show the numbers, and then freeze.

In that case, let's do this the brute-force way.

FuBar_QuestsFu-0.2.1.1.c.zip - Nothing removed - lots of debug statements added. Make a note of what the last lines it prints out before it freezes are.

(Yeah, I'm asking you to deliberately make WoW commit suicide. I don't even pretend that this one will make it better. But it'll either let me know where the problem is or let me eliminate a lot of potential problem-areas. So.)

BlackPhoenix, Delete the file:
\WTF\Account\AccountName\SavedVariables\FuBar_QuestsFu.lua
(where AccountName is your WoW Account name)
Then try again.

I'm no longer freezing with version 0.2.1.1.a, on both my characters that were freezing with 0.2.1.

If you still have that sitting in your recycle bin, would you mind uploading it so I can see what was going on with it?
