MoveAnything!: Weird 1.7 Problem

[Athan]

Firstly I've already tried contacting the author of MoveAnything! and he said:

I assume he means curse-gaming.com there, which is of course still horribly laggy and hard to access right now. I'd checked for a new version there anyway and don't recall spotting any comments about a new maintainer.

Anyway, to the problem. It works fine and as wonderfully as ever when you first enter the game. But if you reload the UI or simply log out and back into a character without fully quitting the game then all the moved frames move back to where they were and the MoveAnything! options frame is almost empty, no listing of frames to move around, just the column headers and a few buttons like 'close' and 'reset all'.

Anyone either know how to fix this, or seen a similar problem in another AddOn since 1.7 that might give some clues ? I've placed a copy of the zip file here in case you can't get to it otherwise currently.

thanks,

Check this thread on the Blizz forum. It tells you what to do to deal with the problem.

there has been a thread in the US forum, about MoveAnything in particular and other addons, that share the same problem (stems from a variable that is used but no longer fired everytime the ui gets loaded)

the fix was to edit the MoveAnything.xml file

go to line 1247
there should be a block like this:

if( event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" ) then

MoveAnything_VariablesLoaded = true;

if( MoveAnything_PlayerNameValid ) then
MoveAnything_Init();

end

now change that to this:

if( event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" ) then

MoveAnything_PlayerNameValid = true;
MoveAnything_VariablesLoaded = true;

if( MoveAnything_PlayerNameValid ) then
MoveAnything_Init();

end

Edit: fixed the tippo i made in the code, that comes from switching lines out, and getting the wrong one *do*

Actually my MoveAnything.xml file lookes like:

<OnEvent>
				if( event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" ) then
					MoveAnything_VariablesLoaded = true;
					if( MoveAnything_PlayerNameValid ) then
						MoveAnything_Init();
					end

I guess the additional line is actually the one setting MoveAnything_PlayerNameValid always to true here ? Indeed, adding THAT line to my file seems to have solved the problem. Thanks .

This thread was big help, much appreciated. I have never written one line of script before and I was able to fix this.
