Hello the c# build process copies the Addons folder into the output.

The build process ensures the all the necessary folders and files exists where they needs to be.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 err2:Unable to return normal mode!

why is that?

[Xian55]

Be sure that in the following folder D:\HuB\WowClassicGrindBot-dev\BlazorServer\Addons does exists.

With the content of D:\HuB\WowClassicGrindBot-dev\Addons

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55
I made sure the following directories exist (by manually copying them,There is no Addons folder when building with c#) "D:\HuB\WowClassicGrindBot-dev\Addons"

[Xian55]

Be sure that the game window(top left hand corner) always visible, always on top and can be seen by you.

During the FrameConfiguration process, the game has to be always on top, if you see the game screen then the c# code can seen it as well.

Sometimes you need to click at the game so the input sending like pressing the enter and copy and paste the addon command works fine.

Like pasting this command in the /qwer chat.

If you stuck at this process you might want to do a manual /reload in order to set the addon in the proper mode, before initiating the Frame Configuration

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55
i made sure the game window(top left hand corner) always visible, always on top and can be seen.

When I manually type /qwer, the character does not respond.

[Xian55]

When I manually type /qwer, the character does not respond.

After typing the /qwer at the top left corner of the screen the coloured pixel cells should change mode.

There are two modes

• configuration - only shade of blues
• normal - all kinds of colors exists

You may want to look at these https://github.com/Xian55/WowClassicGrindBot/wiki/Guidance-for-good-DataFrame

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 I type /qwer into the game window and the upper left corner turns various colors (only shade of blues), but my bot doesn't respond.

[Xian55]

I type /qwer into the game window and the upper left corner turns various colors (only shade of blues)

That is the correct behaviour, that command only mean to check if the addon is installed to your game and responds the given command.

but my bot doesn't respond.

That's fine.

If you have troubles with the FrameConfiguration Auto mode, you can try the Manual one, and see in what step the flow is broken for you. Everything what you need to do is going to be presented.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

When I start frame configuration manually the following message appears: “Addon Rect(Size [ Width=0, Height=0 ]) size issue. Either too small or too big!“

it's a warning

[Xian55]

That's correct, during the very first read, there's no read value that's why the [Width=0, Height=0] are zero.

On the other hand i can only provide help if you show me all of the log messages, cherry picking one line can be miss leading, i cannot see the big picture.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

unable to read player class!

[Xian55]

Could you send me an image which shows both the game and the browser as well?

---

This is correct behaviour, the Size and Rows and Count values are way too high, probably reading the pixels from another application?

Be sure that the game window top left corner does not obstructed by any other window(like the browser what you using).

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

My game client and browser are on the same computer, but after I click the start button of frame configuration, I will manually switch back to the game client, and the game client will be on top, so there is no object that will block the upper left corner of the game client.

[Xian55]

Make the browser window to attach to the right side of the screen(spit the screen half), so the game window top left corner always can be seen.

[cppbeliever]

out20240705.log

this is my blazor server log.

[Xian55]

DataFrameMeta { Hash = 10201106, Spacing = 1, Sizes = 2, Rows = 1, Count = 106 }

This seems to be a correct reading.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 I found the reason. I accidentally deleted a file called frame_config.json（WowClassicGrindBot-dev\HeadlessServer\）. How can I get it back? It is not in the code and it will not be automatically generated when I rebuild it with C#.

[Xian55]

frame_config.json is generated by the FrameConfiguration process. https://github.com/Xian55/WowClassicGrindBot/issues/600#issuecomment-2210551643

After you finish it either by Auto or the Manual mode.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 thanks!

[Xian55]

if you want to run headless server, you have to complete the Frame Configuration process first in the BlazorServer application, this going to generate the frame_config.json. Once you have a working BlazorServer application then you can use that config to feed into headless.

You can use the following script to make it possible to start using HeadlessServer, run.bat

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 thanks!

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

I get error when start set up frame configuration(auto->start).There is no obstruction in the upper left corner of my game client, only a fill-in-the-blank box.

error log: Unable to identify ClientVersion UnitRace and UnitClass!

[Xian55]

Unable to identify ClientVersion UnitRace and UnitClass!

Please provide the full log file, picking a single line does not tell the whole story of your problem.

Please provide a screenshot of your running game client.

[Xian55]

i'm seeing that you are keep using new addon names, be sure to delete the old addon instance INSTALL_LOCATION/Interface/Addons

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 Before creating the new addon name, I deleted the old addons from the directory (World of Warcraft\classic\Interface\AddOns)

[Xian55]

Please enable the following command to see if theres any LUA errors in-game

https://www.wowace.com/projects/rarity/pages/faq/how-to-enable-and-disable-script-errors-lua-errors

You can, however, enable them using this command:

/console scriptErrors 1

Once you're done reporting a problem, and no longer wish to see error messages, feel free to disable them with this command:

/console scriptErrors 0

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 After I used the first command in the game, I clicked frame configuration:auto->start, and no Lua errors were reported in the game.

[Xian55]

After carefully inspecting your provided image i can see a color of greenish/brownish/yellowish which does not supposed to be there.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 Is it because my wow version (3.4.3(55417)) is not supported?

[Xian55]

If it is a classic client, it should work unless you having LUA errors in game.

However the current latest game clients from the classic clients are:

• Cataclysm classic: 4.4.0.55262
• Season of Discovery: 1.15.2.55140

Is there a live classic version of Wrath of the lich king ?

[Xian55]

Are you using any kind of overlay application such as

• RivaTuner Statistic server
• f.lux - it is known to be conflicts with the app
• Steam
• Discord

Also i'm seeing some weird watermarks on your screen

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

I installed the software(Steam,Discord) ,but it doesn't start. I don't have these software(RivaTuner Statistic server,f.lua) installed.

The software in the picture above has no effect, because I ran this software yesterday and my robot ran normally.

[Xian55]

Are you playing on the official servers ?

[cppbeliever]

@

Are you playing on the official servers ?

no

[Xian55]

Can you run the following commands in-game and show me your results

You can use the /dump command to get a value.

So it is worth to mention that the addon name is different for everyone, it depends on what kind of name you chosen, last time you picked cgxh and pppp. So based on that i can send a template.

/dump pppp.C.CHARACTER_RACE_ID

/dump pppp.C.CHARACTER_CLASS_ID

/dump pppp.ClientVersion

Please show me the results of these commands you might need to change the pppp part!

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55

run command: /dump pppp.C.CHARACTER_RACE_ID return:[1]=7 run command: /dump pppp.C.CHARACTER_CLASS_ID return:[1]=8 run command: /dump pppp.ClientVersion return:[1]=4

[Xian55]

That means you are a Gnome Mage with Wrath client. The addon works fine.

However for some reason the backend the c# code cannot read the the addon at the top left hand corner.

You might try to run the game not exclusive fullscreen mode.

Either

• windowed mode
• windowed fullscreen mode

You might also try to run the BlazorServer.exe with admin privileges, and make sure the world of Warcraft client is NOT running with admin privileges. The goal is to BlazorServer.exe have higher privileges then the game.

Normally BlazorServer.exe does not requires admin privileges, however for debugging purposes we can check it.

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 I set the game client to window mode, and then started Blazor Server as an administrator, but the problem still exists.

out20240705.log

[cppbeliever]

@Xian55 When I click auto->start, sometimes it will automatically enter /yy three times in the game chat window, and sometimes it will enter /yy twice. It's very strange.

[Xian55]

After you press the Auto > Start you may try to click anywhere on the game screen, for me sometimes switching from the browser to the game does not work properly.

At my side works well, with the live sod ptr client.

After carefully inspecting your provided image i can see a color of greenish/brownish/yellowish which does not supposed to be there.

If you disable the addon, does that yellow color still remains at top left corner ? That yellow color does not supposed to be there!

[Xian55]

That color should look like this during configuration mode.

Like it was stated in the readme.md, be sure to use the default Contrast, Brightness and Gamma settings

Resolution should not be a problem nor does the fullscreen and windowed mode.

@Xian55

My monitor is a TCL 4k screen.

[Xian55]

When you manually type /yy in game, what colors do you see at the top left hand corner?

Excepted colors during configuration mode ( the most left(first) cell should have magenta like color, the rest is shade of blue)

Expected colors during normal mode(the colors may vary) the grey ish outline at left and top is my bad due capturing the image.

[cppbeliever]

After I click the auto->start button, Blazor generates an error log and the following image appears in the upper left corner of the game:

Then, I manually entered /yy in the game, and the following image appeared:

[cppbeliever]

I then double-checked the game settings according to the instructions in the readme.
