"Who" Window Opens After A Scan...Resolved?

Post by **Rollie** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:50 pm

Yes, I'm getting it now that I DL's carto also. I've looked and poked but having figured out what is causing it just yet. I'll keep looking and poking =)

Maybe if you could get ahold of Ckknight you guys might be able to work together and find it faster

Of course, I'm sure he's got plenty on his plate like you do, so it's just a thought

Rollie I found the problem. It is related to the way you coded the WhoLib checker. I went back to 4.1.2 where you didn't have the WhoLib checker and the scans ran fine without the Social Pane opening up. So I went through the lua file for 4.1.4 and removed all vars and functions related to WhoLib and not once has the window open.

Given that the amount of spamming in game has been significantly reduced it might be a good idea if you remove the WhoLib checker or at least review the code behind it since that is the root cause of this problem.

Here's the revised CensusPlus.lua file without the WhoLib checker. I encourage everyone to try this out and see if this works for you until Rollie gives the ok and releases another version =)

Ah, thanks for digging into this DM. I'll try to do some looking tonight if I manage to get online.

DM's title should be "the man." He gets my vote anyway

Argh I talked too soon.... I got the Social Pane to appear once. But hey at least its not like every few seconds like it use to be... So removing the WhoLib stuff doesn't seem to fix it 100%, but as it only showed ONCE for that whole time I was online. Its a big improvement and hopefully we do find the cause for the other issue soon =S

I downloaded EPGP (like DKP tracking) and if I click the Guild tab, close it and start a census, it pops it up every min or so. fun stuff troubleshooting/recreating it.

I actually experience this guild window pop-up ever since I installed Cartographer. Has there been any clue yet what is causing this in-between CensusPlus and Cartographer?

I see DM's post, but is any of this integrated into the official version yet?

I spent a bit of time trying to figure out why this occurs but I haven't had any luck as of yet. Honestly I've kinda gotten used to it, which is a bad thing. I need to get this resolved...

I'll dig around more and see if I can find some stuff as well.

I'm use to it as well..... I noticed that it doesn't seem to act up when my guild is all doing 25mans and I'm just doing nothing. But once they all finish then the window pops up... =/

And my post about the removal might help some, but the problem is still there.....

It indeed seems to happen only when the social window is closed while the guild tab is selected.

Since 2.3 I've been getting the guild window popping up whenever I've zoned... haven't managed to check enough to know if census is running every time, it may be totally unrelated, but just thought I'd mention it as a heads up if there is any connection!

I actually got around to using the WhoLib library and the modified C+ by AleX back in May and it works... No window popups at all.

But Rollie doesn't like WhoLib

Post by **Rollie** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 1:05 pm

It's not that I don't like WhoLib, as much as I disapprove of the way they are handling things. Overriding base Blizzard functionality without any way to recover it is really bad imho.
