LUA errors, Patch 3.3.5

[Maji343]

I replace the chateditframebox on lines 18702 and 18722 and still is saying that I have errors. Has anyone figured out what else might need to be changed to the lua file ?

[ghron]

i've been having limited problems with chat but i'm having the issue of my unit frames not appearing, as you can imagine, this can be problematic. is anyone else having the same problem?

[Chmee]

You know what? You guys who are complaining that addon authors are spoiling your fun ought to try writing your own addon sometime.

[Chmee]

ghron, are you using a unit frame addon? If so, you should check with the authors of that addon.

howdy, not trying to dogpile on this, but, i am having same issue. i had over 1000 errors when i finally had to turn the add-on off i have become so used to this amazing add-on, it's hard to play WoW w/o it

Thanks for the info on how I might fix this problem but I'm not a computer geek when it comes to programing, and the last time I tried to edit a file it cost me $800 to get my computer fixed. I'll wait and hope and pray that the author gets an updated version out by this weekend.

This addon is great and SHAME ON YOU Phydough for demanding that they FIX IT. This is a free addon and if your not happy with you frame rate uninstall it and go with the crap Blizzard quest or QuestHelper. It's a content patch week and these problem happen every time Blizzard makes changes. I posted the error information here to help the author out & the only thing you did was whine about your frame rate.

I changed the chat frame code and i never messed with before, used free program Notepad+++ (Thx for info from prev post) worked good. And to see what there is to a addon I give a well done m8 for the work thats been done in the past. Lay off the authors they got screwed by blizz like all us.

Since the 3.3.5 patch I can't even use carbonite. Lua Errors to the extent that I can't even close out of the Lua Error box and move on. PLEASE fix soon! I miss using carb, it's like my most highly used addon.

Open up World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Carbonite\Carbonite.lua in a tect editor like wordpad and find all ChatFrameEditBox and change all to ChatFrame1EditBox and carbonite works fine. There are quite a few that need to be changed but will only take about 5 minutes doing one at a time like I did with good old ctrl+F.

Thanks for posting the fix Vis.

Is there a newer version of carbonite then 3.33? and how do you change the code?

[Germaja]

I had to disable Carbonite in order to play. Is it being worked on? I really like Carbonite and really don't want to go back to quest helper if I don't have to.

They are aware of it and I am sure the moment they get the opportunity they will apply an update. Bear in mind that they may not have the patch themselves yet and so cannot easily see the problems reported and may be working blind so to speak.

This is the same problem I have but only 1 minor difference

lines:
18702: function Nx.Map:OMNGT(nam)
18722: Nx.prt("Adj scale %s",self.DAS)

although the error in game says it's those lines, as i get the exact same error message as Xrystal did. But if I search for ChatFrameEditBox I get these:

2196: if ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible() then
2199: ChatFrameEditBox:Insert(s)
5392: if ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown() then
5393: ChatFrameEditBox:SetFocus()
7070: if ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible() then
7073: ChatFrameEditBox:Insert(s)
19043: if self.SCQ[1]==nil and not bgm and not ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible() then
19063: if ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible() then

So im not really sure if I need to change all of them or not.

and I use beyond compare for editing lua files and what not, but even in notepad the line numbers are still the same.

One thing to keep in mind when you go by line numbers, not all Editors use the same method of numbering. Some may skip the beginning lines with addon info in them and only start where the actual code starts, while others count from the very beginning.

From what I've seen from others experience, the most likely safe bet is to change all instances of ChatFrameEditBox to ChatFrame1EditBox and all should be better.

quoting for the people who aren't scrolling down to see the fix.

this does eliminate the errors.

Changing the ChatFrameEditBox to ChatFrame1EditBox seems to generate more errors for me.

But thank you guys anyways for stepping up and trying to help. It is appreciated.

[Vis]

What other errors are you getting Gothicknight?
