Yes, sorry Adorielle. I believe it's the FF bug. I edited my post above but you beat me. :P I'll check it out tonight when I get home from work.

I haven't had a chance to play with the mod yet, I barely got the rest of my UI up and running by midnight last night (still not fully fixed). Any information people can provide should help me track it down faster once I get the chance. If you're getting lua errors, please try to make a note of what the error says.

[edit] As for SH, I found most of the options fairly straightforward. The first few (I think) define the thresholds for when you'll stop refreshing DoTs during the various Eclipses, I.E. Insect Swarm Wrath Eclipse Threshold (or whatever the name really is, I don't have a screenshot at work) of 6 means that it won't prompt you to cast IS if Solar Eclipse is up and has less than 6s remaining. I maxed out the threat slider, or did whatever the help bubble said to disable it entirely, since I don't care about that at all.

Hmm, for me, just with This fix the mod has been working normally without any errors as far as I could tell from the ~2 hours I spent in Ulduar. Even with FF bar enabled.

Oh crude - I really didn't pay much attention to it cause I figured you'd have to update it for the new patch - let me go load it back up and see what it says.

OK - It says (and I quote) - Interface\AddOns|SquawkAndAwe\SquawkAndAwe.lau:1085 attempt to concatenate local 'namestring' (a nil value)

and then the window that broadcast it cannot be shut and another window pops up above it telling me "You Addons are experiencing a large number of errors and may be slowing down the game. You can turn on display of Lua errors in the interface options.

And then I have to log out and deselect S&A...

or you could go into interface and uncheck show lua errors and they wont show up and keep using SAA

Sounds like the same bug I have with mine, which I'm betting is the Faerie Fire issue (as it would be trying to grab namestring from a spell that no longer exists, hence nil). Either the fix listed above, which points to the correct spell, or deselecting the FF bar should fix the lua error issue, though obviously deselecting the bar won't actually fix it.

If you're looking for a quick and dirty replacement for SAA, they've fixed quartz, and someone wrote a quartz addon to time eclipse.

WoW AddOns - Quartz - WowAce.com

Quartz: Eclipse Module - Addons - Curse

Quartz as you probably all know is a cast bar mod that tracks what buffs/debuffs are on a mob. Its default set to track 'your' buffs and debuffs. So its timer bars track your durations of moonfire/insectswarm/FF. And the Eclipse addon tracks your eclipse buff and its cooldown.

When you fix SAA though I'll probably change back up for that. Its nice to have a separate bar for just moonkin stuff.

Well with much trepidation I tried the 770 solution and that seemed to fix the problem of the error message - will keep an eye out for a new update. Hope ppl will rename the file before they go change it though just in case...lol

Eilt · 04/15/09, 9:10 PM

Just for further confirmation, I was seeing the exact same error mentioned above and changing the spell number to 770 fixed it.

Robmtx · 04/15/09, 9:29 PM

Hello. I turned off the FF bar which fixed that issue, but my Global Cooldown bar is also broken and does the same thing. this bar was nice to have too. How could I fix it, or is there an updated version with fixes available? the link still has a 1/1/09 version for download.

Thank you and great work!

• Adoriele · 04/15/09, 10:13 PM

v1.2 just got uploaded, fixes the FF bar (though it still only crawls rather than staying full until under ~30s) and converts to the new UnitAura() API. I'm not seeing any issues with the GCD bar, but I didn't check before I made the changes. Let me know if you're still having issues, or if you had them and this fixes it.

Robmtx · 04/15/09, 10:41 PM

Thanks I downloaded and installed the update. I still get a solid Gray Bar when I enable the GCD Bar. I know that's it because it goes away when I disable it. Nor does this bar work right now so I have it disabled but I loved that one hehe

Thanks again.

Robmtx · 04/15/09, 10:42 PM

Dude ok you're not gonna believe this but now its working. it stayed on screen til my first cast then it went away and now it works.

standby for further info lol..

And I'm SOBER!

Great mod, thanks for updating it.
Running into an issue where MF and Eclipse/Eclipse Cooldown overlap. This is v1.2 (rc1) from tonight. Cleared WTF saved vars, etc. and I managed to reproduce it on two comps. Not sure what's causing it tbh.

In my settings I only have MF/Eclipse/Eclipse CD/IS up and it appears that the MF/Eclipse/CD bars are the ones overlapping.

Hmm, that's very odd. I'll take a look into it.

KyuubiANBU · 04/16/09, 12:51 PM

since the patch, SAA has been overlapping for me as well, similar to screenshot but it's only the moonfire and eclipse bars that overlap. MF, IS, and eclipse are the only 3 i use rest are disabled.
