_NPCScan: Disabled achievements' checkboxes not prominent enough #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What version of the add-on are you using?
Latest - 3.1.0.1 5/13

What version of World of Warcraft are you using? (Please include language)
WotLK, English, fully patched

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Creatures are marked as found while in game but I do not receive the alert

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Clear cache and confirm in game that viewing NPC Scan is running and has
no mobs listed as found.
2. Flew around and found a rare spawn by sight (Old Crystalbark during test)
3. Alert did not activate, NPCScan addon has red check mark next to name.

Please provide any additional information below.
Noticed this issue a while ago as my girlfriend and I are working on
Frostbitten together and my alert stopped working; we sit next to each
other and hers would alarm and mine would not, even with the NPC in sight.  

I am positive that I am clearing my cache correctly, mod is enabled (I've
taken to flying around with my NPCScan window open on the Frostbitten tab
to see if I fly by a rare!), and I've reinstalled the addon completely a
number of times.

I have a feeling that another addon is interfering with it, but I can't
prove it as rares are rare and don't provide much time for addon toggling
trial and error. :P  Have you heard of any addons conflicting with NPCScan?

Thank you very much for your work on a great addon; while it was functional
for me I recommended it to everyone!

I'm not aware of any conflicting addons, but could you list the ones you're 
using? 
Also, do you have Lua errors enabled in-game?  If not, try enabling them and 
then
testing _NPCScan with a common mob in Dalaran like Applebough (ID 29547).

I am using so many addons, and have been the entire time I've been using 
NPCScan,
even when it was working properly.  I do have an error wrangler installed and I 
get
some errors when I first log in and mouse over or click certain things, but 
only once
and only when I first log in.  I'm pretty sure none of them pertain to NPCScan, 
but I
will take closer note to them next time I enter game.

Could you try the Test Found Alert button as well to see if the alert can show 
at
all?  It should work the same way, but if it doesn't, that might mean something.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Yes, I have tested the Found Alert numerous times, all sucessfully.  The alert 
tests
fine, the addon scans the cache and flags the creatures as found.  No alert, no
error, nothing to notify me that the NPC was nearby other than the red x next 
to the
name in the settings.

Here are the two errors I get every time I log in (1st) and when I click an 
enemy
player (2nd).  Neither effect NPCScan as I can see.

Yeah, neither of those would affect it.  I'm at a loss for what could be 
causing it,
but I put together a special version of the mod to help find the cause.  It just
prints a bunch of status messages to your chat window when showing alerts.  
Could you
screenshot the results of a quick test with the Test Found Alert button and 
finding a
mob after clearing your cache?

Absolutely!  I'll install it now and run a test as soon as I can.  Wow, I feel 
so
honored that you're spending time to troubleshoot this. <.<  *looks for a

Tested this morning:
Test screen alert works like normal (screen shot attached); added Applebough,
hearthed to Dal, rode around and got the alert for him (also attached).  So 
either
it's fixed or just the Frostbitten mobs are broken for me.  Made a circuit 
around
Sholazar but no rares were in attendance, so I suppose I will keep on looking 
until I
know I have found one and see if the addon alerts me.  I hope that even if the 
alert
doesn't sound the text printing to chat will notify me.

Thank you very much again, and I will let you know how it works out.

I feel kind of silly for not thinking of this sooner, but do you have "Search 
for
Tamable NPCs" enabled?  I forgot that in Sholazar Basin, all three rares are 
tamable
(Loque'nahak, Aotona, and King Krush).  That would explain why no alert played. 
 As
for Old Crystalbark not showing an alert, had you already killed him before 
testing
the alert out?  If so, the "Search for completed Achievement NPCs" option will 
let
the alert show even for rares you don't need anymore.

The spam in those screenshots looks normal, so feel free to go back to the 
spam-free
version.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
You know, I don't think I do have "Tamable NPCs" checked; that makes entirely 
too
much sense.  BUT, I have "completed Achievement NPCs" checked constantly, as
sometimes the blues sell well and the gold and cloth are nice, but on top of 
that,
the example of Crystalbark that I listed was the very first time I'd ever seen 
him in
game.  Never before had I killed him, seen an alert (back when they were 
working) or
had a red x next to his name, so I know that isn't the issue.  Similar happened 
with
High Thane Jorfus; my girlfriend and I were doing our tourny dailies and she 
got an
alert for him and I got nothing, even as we spotted him and killed him.  Does 
this
verbose version you provided still print the text even if the alert doesn't go 
off? 
I wonder.  I think I'll keep using it just in case, as if it does, I'll still 
notice
and won't keep spamming the damn macro I've made in the interim. :-/

Thanks again!

Original comment by stealing...@gmail.com on 30 Jul 2009 at 11:11

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
That verbose version will only print something if _NPCScan is actually looking 
for
the mob.  I suspect that it simply wasn't looking for Crystalbark, since the 
button
seems to work properly.

Could you take a screenshot of the Frostbitten rares list?  Hopefully it will 
reveal
something, because I can't think of what is failing.

Original comment by saiket....@gmail.com on 31 Jul 2009 at 12:48

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Well, it's happened now with two mobs (that I know of; Crystalbark and Jorfus) 
that I
had never killed before and are not tamable.  I'll send you a screen shot when 
I can.
 And seriously, is there a donate button somewhere that I'm not seeing on wowinterface?

Original comment by stealing...@gmail.com on 31 Jul 2009 at 1:04

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Usually for WowInterface, there's a little popup thing that appears when you
download, but once you disable one of them, they all get hidden.  _NPCScan's
documentation on my website 
(http://sites.google.com/site/wowsaiket/Add-Ons/NPCScan)
has a button at the bottom of the page though.  I tried to keep them out of the 
way,
but I might have hidden them a little too well. ;)

I released a new version for 3.2, but it won't affect this issue.  Hopefully it 
was
just a fluke and won't come back.  Thanks for your donation, by the way; I 
appreciate
it. :)

I am having the same (or a very similar) issue. I clear the cache regularly and 
check it regularly.  I have found 4 rare mobs in the last two days for which 
there 
was no alert.  Test button works great.  Both tamable and already done boxes 
checked.  I am running a lot fewer add-ons that the previous poster - 
auctioneer, 
gatherer, omen, dbm, minicoords, cartographer.  Problem since the last patch or 
two, 
really.  Man, I hate spamming those macros again.

This mod was the best when it was working for me :-(

VINDICATION! :P

Yes, the newer version that you had put out didn't fix the issue for me, but I
haven't been playing much at all for a while, so haven't thought about it.  
While I'm
sorry to see that others are having a trouble, it's nice to know that this 
error can
be replicated.

Im seeing the same fault since the last big patch (three patchs ago, i.e. first 
toc 
patch)

Steps taken so far:
Deleted addon
Delete Cache
Deleted WTF folder
Reloaded latest addon
Checked both "Search for Tamable NPCs" enabled? and the killed already box (cos 
would want to kill them again for the gold :-)

Test bitton works perfect.
I get no errors when loading wow.

And yet I keep getting new rares marked as seen in the addon...but no alerts
Frustrating as this is a great addon when it worked

The only thing that looks out of place is the wow addon screen (before you 
select 
your toon and enter the game) the color for _NPCscan is diffrence to all the 
other 
addons listed (yellow rather than brownie).... I also use the addon called 
"addon" 
and it also shows _npcscan a different color... might not be relevent but dont 
seem 
to recall this diffrent color from when it was working?

If you want a full list of my addons or screen shot I will add once I get a few 
more 
rares spotted and not alerted.

Cheers

The latest version, 3.2.0.7, is modified slightly to make this bug easier to 
find. 
It prints more detailed messages to chat when you find tamable mobs.  If you 
ever see
_NPCScan print a message to chat, could you copy it back to here?  I never did 
really
find the cause for this issue, but hopefully the new messages will give me a 
hint.

Just to be sure however, could you make sure that both achievements are enabled 
in
the configuration window?  The checkboxes are pretty small, just to the left of 
the
text on the achievements' tabs, and might be hard to see when they're unchecked.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the color of the name text is intentional; It's 
just a
stylistic trend I name all my mods with.  The "_" at the front shows the right 
color.

Flying around spamming macro and NPC picked up on rare and alerted first time 
in a 
month or so.

The only thing I changed was enabling the achivement tracking as you suggested.

I wonder how / why this made a difference?

That checkbox turns on/off *all* scans for mobs that are part of the 
achievement, so
disabling "Frostbitten" would stop scans for all Northrend rares.  I'll try and 
make
that more prominent, since I think the original poster of this issue might have
missed it too.

Found another one today so with the track achive button checked its all good.
Some suggestions for you.
1. rename this thread back to alert not alerting etc...so other people can find 
the 
issue.
2. update your install notes to recommend that if your hunting for noc's then 
check 
the achive box.

Thanks for your help on this much appreciated
