Chat spam during Saurfang boss

kenny6 · 02-11-10, 06:34 AM

when i was doing Saurfang in 25man today my chat was being spammed with crap like "[201.01] +2 ? 24" it has never done this before and i haven't downloaded any new addons for about a month now just been updating them with the curse client below is a pic of the spam and after that a pic of all my addons

addons: http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1012/24052650.jpg

This only happens in this fight so i cant rly disable an addon 1 by 1 that will take like 4months to find what one is doing this and none other i don't even know what it is trying to tell me any help would be greatly appreciated THX

Looks to me like an addon that was meant to be communicating via it's own hidden channel is bugging out and sending it to the Raid chat.

The only thing i can think of is either a DPS meter attempting to sync or a boss mod bugging out.

Do you use deadly boss mods ? Try manually updating from deadlybossmods.com

Also look in your WTF folder for a folder with your toons name in a folder for your realm. Look in there for a file called "chat-cache.txt"

Post the contents of that.

Another thing you can try is to get an addon called Addon Control Panel.

This will allow you to dynamically turn addons on and off and save them in sets.

Make a cut down set of addons that are essential to raid with like maybe Omen and a Boss meter. No other screen candy and addons unnecessary to raid with. I've noticed you have Auctioneer listed in your listing of addons ...that shouldn't be required for raiding I think.

The point is is to reduce the amount of addons you are going into the Saurfang fight with so it makes debugging that error easier. If the error does appear then you can go through that small set off addons using a binary search method.

That is you progressively turn off 1/2 of your addons till you find the one doing it. Possiby best done dead

Of course if the problem goes away when you are using a set of just raiding addons then it makes fixing the problem much less urgent - you can just switch to that Saurfang set of addons when you do the Saurfang encounter.
