I haven't any other Ace3 mod.
Config menu fading seems appear after creating a new dock until i log out/log in
Here a screen for the fade effect :

This is just a suggestion, not sure if it has been before:

Perhaps an option with the Zoom Detect, that the closer to that spot you get, you could select a scale it goes to? I personally would like to be able to bring everything back to 100%.

 

Kameril

Even with a Vertical orientated dock that is thin and tall it gives you that message?

If you could try it again I believe WAU without externals has been solved.


Cimeryl, that is very strange. Could you try disabling all your mods except for Dock and see if it still happens?

Quaunaut, I had a similar system initially, it doesn't look very good. ;]
At this point it's fairly unlikely I'll add it back in.

 

Quaunaut

Hmm, thats too bad.

Do you think it would be possible for you to make a module for mod developers, that would check for if you have Dock at startup, and if you do, put a "Minimize to Dock" button on it? Or, even easier, say you put a Window in Dock, perhaps leave a "Ghost" of it there until you change something with Dock again, so that you can just click it again to bring it back to Dock?

Yes, even with a vertically oriented dock I was getting that "Frame is too large message." The purpose of the dock I was creating was for my Recount frame, Eavesdrop, and Omen. I just made it so that the dock was ~350,600 in dimensions and then shot my frames to it. After the initial dock was done, I didnt get any more messages and was able to resize the dock and the frames within it to my preferances.

Edit: Just tryed to redownload Without Externals through WAU. I got version r60840. It still does not work without externals. It did not download all the ???-3.0 libraries that it requried. Those are still not up on the WAU. I tried manually putting in the ???-3.0 libraries into my Addons folder and the mod still does not recognize thier existance. I do not have any of these problems when I pull the mod from the wowace website and just drop it into my addons folder with the embedded libraries.

The first part is actually built in already. In the DockButton.lua there's API to request a button from Dock. The button can then be anchored however the authored/sized would want. When the button is clicked the frame associated with the button it sent to the dock set. The ChatWindows module uses these buttons.

The ghost idea has been brought up before, it's just a little difficult to do while making it intuitive.


Hrm, is it any specific frames? See any pattern to it? I can't reproduce it at all. Is it drag and drop or through a binding?
Externals seem to be working here, make sure you refresh your index before updating through WAU. If it's still not working I'll look into it further.

Sweet I didn't even try because theres no Box just didn't seem intuitive to me

Sweet deal honestly if it wasn't possible it wouldn't be a big deal just wondering~

Since i updated dock today i haven't been able to reproduce it, although i haven't been trying to to be honest.
But from what happened last night it seemed like it had something to do with the animation of it going back to its place when you tried to restore all the frames. Maybe the real reason It hasn't happened again is because i turned off the animations when adding/restoring frames.

Loving it so far. 3 quick notes:

1: Docks sent to Tabs go back to being Docks on re-logging. Would be nice if it saved.
2: I tried doing Mouse3 (middle click) as a keybinding and it didn't work at all. Not sure if this feature is fully implemented or not but I got no functionality at all.
3: Others have been saying they are having problems with simpleminimap, but when I try and dock my minimap using simpleminimap it tells me "Couldn't dock frame [MinimapCluster] because it's secure."

Double check to make sure it's unlocked.

I had a problem with both SimpleMinimap and Squeenex and tabs. They docked just fine, but when I sent them into tabs the minimap splattered across my screen. It's hard to explain- I've added pictures before and after.



I originally thought it was just a problem with Squeenix and so switched to SimpleMinimap- but it does it on both.

Great great mod so far

I've encountered a little bug, when I lock my dock frame, middle and right click on it do not work anymore. Middle click is supposed to reduce to tab (which I have activated and seems to work), right click should open the config menu. Everything works perfectly while unlock, it's just that when locked the frame doesn't seem to catch the button clicks anymore.

1: I'll fix that next release.
2: I never thought of someone binding a mouse button for send to dock, heh, I'll look into it and see if I can't make it work.
3: This happens because some other addon has anchored something secure to your minimap. It's usually some type of addon that lets you cast spells. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it, you'll have to disable that mod.


Bekah, are you using version 0.6 (or latest from WAU)? It should've fixed minimap problems like that.


Vonwen, that's actually intended, but now that I think about it a separate option to to disable clicks would probably make more sense.

 

Vonwen

Alright thanks

I'm also noticing an issue with Assessment disappearing.

I'll dock Assessment and do my thing. Then I log. When I log back in Assessment has disappeared. Going through Assessments configuration menu nothing has changed. I'll toggle the various "show window" options and nothing will help. Eventually I just delete the window (which is nowhere to be found) and create a new one. This only happens with Dock.

At one point a random /rl brought a window back, but when I say random, I mean random. I'll watch closely to see if I can consistently replicate that reappearance or if any neat errors pop up.

While I haven't had any problems with Dock since the time I downloaded it, I had a quick question.

Would it be possible to make an eePanel Dock along with a chat window? Because right now I'd like to be able to Dock my chat windows, but it's jarring to have empty eePanels just sitting there.

Thanks in advance.

 

◊ Inkm

Just thought of something, don't know if it's even possible but anyway.. Would it be possible for a dock to zoom a frame that had a change in it ?

So you could make a chat window for messages and send it to a dock, as soon as you get a new message it could react or zoom out on its own (enable/disable for combat) etc?

Could potentially be a bit nifty I believe.

What a man had to go through for a piece of ass in the modern age was highly ridiculous.

I was able to reproduce the minimap freak out effect even with no other addons enabled right after updating.

Edit: After a little more testing it seems like it only happens in certain zones. For example when I made my original post I was in Ironforge and I experienced the problem. I was doing my dailies in SMV and didn't ntoice the problem at all. So I figured it somehow fixed itself. When I came back to IF it started happening again. After going outside it immediately stopped happening once I crossed the threshold to the outside of IF. I'll try to test some more. In case you somehow missed the exact problem, if you have your minimap in a dock in tabbed mode and it is currently in the tab the minimap flickers on your full screen as you run around. It completely fills the entire screen for a split second and then disappears and this happens every couple of seconds only if you are moving.

Lord, beer me strength.

Difficult to determine version number- might want to put it somewhere easily readable on the window.

Cracking open the lua:
local MAJOR_VERSION = "Dock-1.0"
local MINOR_VERSION = 200612111

Best I can do =/

Edit: I had the problem with both the version I downloaded from wow interface and the version I downloaded (afterwards, hoping that I'd jsut missed an update) from Wowace. Downloaded a few hours at most earlier than my post =)

Hope this helps you track down the bug- it's a great system and while I'd like to put my mini map in it, it's plenty useful without for now ^__^

I believe that's an ace-library, which is a totaly diffrent thing but its also called Dock.

 

Kameril

I'll try to figure out it, I really have no idea what's going on with Assessment disappearing currently.

Thanahtos, I'm not real familiar with eePanels, but if there's an option to set the parent and anchor to a chat window in eePanels it should move along with.

Inkm, there's no way for Dock to know something that specific without someone creating a module for that frame. Modules aren't very difficult to do with some general program knowledge. I hope to write some better documentation when I have time though.

Dollar, thats for the detailed report, should help track this down.

Bekah, that's for a library that's not related to Dock. The easiest way to get the version is to type /print Dock.Version.

 

Karmen

I cannot dock the BigBrother frame unless the dock is big enough to handle the default size frame. Obviously that kind of defeats the purpose of Dock so that's disappointing. Not sure if there if that is a bug or not though.

I am pretty sure I have completely narrowed down the issue. To reiterate, the exact issue is: When you have your minimap in a dock in tabbed mode, when the map is in the tab you constantly have the image that would be on the minimap flash on your entire screen. This occurs even with no other addons enabled. Anyways, after some experimenting I found out that it only ever happens when you are indoors for the purpose of the minimap. This includes Stormwind because according to the minimap you are 'indoors' in stormwind even though you can use mounts and things. The same applies for Exodar and Ironforge.

Lord, beer me strength.

Actually a feature like this is what would make me want to use this addon. What I would personally like would be to potentially have the "Chat" tab from Dock flash whenever new chat has been said in one of your chat windows. Then when you active the Chat tab, the window that has new text in it could be highlighted or have a blinking border around it. Is this possible in the current version or something that we could look at for future versions?

Been eagerly awaiting this release Unfortunately it is giving me some issues. All of these are using the latest revision on WoWAce SVN at the time of posting:

1) When I try to dock Omen (using its latest revision on wowace), the omen frame becomes huge in the dock. Easily 4x as big as it is undocked, and that's when I do not have my mous
