XPbar disappeared

[Mirrikh]

So for some reason my xp bar disappeared. It was there, working fine for most of the day, but then it just randomly disappeared. This is my settings, I didn't change anything for before it disappeared.

Well, I'd start by making those "media" and "config" variables local, not global. It's not farfetched at all to imagine that some other addon overwrote one or both with (hopefully accidentally leaked) globals by the same name. Same goes for all the variables you set in the event handler. Global "name" is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Other than that, since your frame has SetUserPlaced(true) set on it, I'd check your layout-cache.txt file and make sure there's nothing related to it in there; if the game is trying to manage the frame's position, it will overwrite any position you set in the main chunk of your file.

how would I go about making those local (not amazing at this stuff)

Edit: Alright, so I changed that SetUserPlaced to false and then deleted my layout and it reappeared. Thx Phanx. Although I still kinda would like to know how to change the global setting to local.

That's actually surprisingly easy

Where you now have :

variablename = value

Do

local variablename = value

Depending on the setup of the add-on; this might have some "fun" results though.

In your case :

local media = {
        flat = "Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8x8",
        font = "Interface\\Addons\\bXP\\font.ttf"
}
local config = {
        enable = 1,
        spawn = {"BOTTOM", UIParent, "BOTTOM", 0, 5},
        width = 378,
        height = 5,
        color = {.4, .1, 0.6, 1},
        restedcolor = {.2, .4, 0.8, 1}
}

Cool, I was hoping it was that easy. Thank you

Edit: hmm, after adding that it disappeared again.

It shouldn't though. The actual call stays the exact same.

Are there other files in bXP? I thought there weren't.

I get the feeling that the SetClampedToScreen is moving it OUTSIDE of the visible area.

Comment out line 43

--bar:SetClampedToScreen(true)

[Mirrikh]

the only other files are the toc and the font file. commented it out and still nothing.

Edit: Ok so, when I went into an inn and became "rested" it showed up.

Are you max level with no watched faction?

[Mirrikh]

nope, leveling a toon.

I see that blooblahguy made a return and is updating his addons are you using the latest version of bXP?

[Mirrikh]

yep, I saw that too and updated, working fine now.
