I think if you could trim down this addon just to show the teammate icons that would be sufficient. Maybe just a standalone for that or fork.

[SweepyBoop]

I think the lua errors are due to wow API update: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/API_C_Spell.GetSpellInfo C_Spell.GetSpellInfo replaces previous GetSpellInfo

[SweepyBoop]

Just pushed an update, could you check if the LUA errors are gone?

Hi, I am able to load into the game and dont have an error on load but I can not access the addon settings via /sb but I can access it via the options -> addons screen. This is the error I get when trying to /sb.

That being said...it works...oh my...looks so nice.

[SweepyBoop]

Glad you like the addon! Really appreciate the support and feedback ❤️

For the /sb command error, could you quickly try the following and see if it's resolved? In Core.lua file, change line 328 from InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.optionsFrame); to

if Settings and Settings.OpenToCategory then
    Settings.OpenToCategory(self.optionsFrame)
else
    InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.optionsFrame)
end

Apologies that it's hard for me to test in game these days. I'm not actively playing since I'm pre-occupied by my newborn baby.

[werner-jakobsmeier]

ok I made the change but while no more error and it does open the options menu it doesnt open the addon menu but the general game menu:

change made in the lua file:

[SweepyBoop]

I see. How about changing that line to this:

if Settings and Settings.OpenToCategory then
    Settings.OpenToCategory(addonName)
else
    InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.optionsFrame)
end

[werner-jakobsmeier]

Updated:

function SweepyBoop:SlashCommand(msg)
    if not msg or msg:trim() == "" then
        if Settings and Settings.OpenToCategory then
        Settings.OpenToCategory(addonName)
    else
            InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.optionsFrame)
    end
    end
end

result:

(not a huge deal since we can access the addon settings via the game options addon menu)
