    Hi, second attempt at posting this, just started getting this today after the 2.4.2 patch. I've seen this pop up 4 times (only says count 1 but thats because i had another program back on that was blocking swatter) and each time it seems to have occured when i looted a corpse with just money on it.

    Let me know if you need more info or any suggestions.

    I'll take a look at this. I didn't do any testing on the 2.4.2 PTR because I haven't had any time recently, and I didn't expect any breaking changes.

    Wow, I just got the same error, but I got mine after picking a netherbloom in Netherstorm! So it might be throwing it for "looting" anything out there. Not a good move on Blizzards part.

    2.4.2 must have done something behind the scenes, because it has broken a majority of my addons. I can confirm that this error is showing up on my machines as well, though it isn't the only error I'm getting, and others are happening first, so I've been trouble shooting to see which errors still happen when no other addons are there causing problems. I haven't made it to Gatherer yet.

    COPPER was defined in GlobalStrings.lua inside Blizzard's UI code.

    Looks like someone at Blizzard changed the global string in a !@*$%^&# minor dot release.
    Score one for the interns!

    I have another issue I haven't seen before today. Both with gathering nodes on the map or the minimap, I get the following message:

    Interface\Addons\Gatherer\GatherDropRates.lua:98 bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

    I got them on the map just when opening the map. I get them on the minimap when I mouse over a node.

    One more thing, I followed the above link and changed COPPER, SILVER and GOLD into COPPER_AMOUNT, SILVER_AMOUNT and GOLD_AMOUNT, which seems to have sorted the original issue of this thread.
    • CommentAuthorAstaldo

    Changing COPPER, SILVER, GOLD to COPPER_AMOUNT, SILVER_AMOUNT, GOLD_AMOUNT fixes nothing.

    You won't get lua errors but that doesn't mean the addon works.

    COPPER|SILVER|GOLD were static strings "copper", "silver", "gold" localized

    COPPER_AMOUNT is a format string "%d copper" and likewise for the rest.

    This needs a proper fix so that it continues to parse coin strings and return the amounts.

    A "hackish" but proper fix is to go on top of LibSwag.lua (under the local log line for example)
    and put these 3 lines

    local GOLD = string.gsub(GOLD_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
    local SILVER = string.gsub(SILVER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
    local COPPER = string.gsub(COPPER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");

    and leave the rest alone.

    dalaera, the link was posted as a reference to the ticket I created in our tracking system for this problem. I was NOT suggesting that regular users should attempt to make this fix themselves because it is more than a simple find and replace.

    Well,
    I love you guys, really I do,
    but,
    When will this fix be available in a build?
    3.1.1 is still the best I can find to download.

    Aye, this is a known issue, and a fix is being worked on. I believe, though, that the time frame for releasing a fixed version is currently "When its ready"
    • CommentAuthorAstaldo

    Like I said above a fix users can apply to their local copy until a new build is available:
    1. Open \Gatherer\Swag\LibSwag.lua in a text editor.
    2. Scroll down to line 61 or thereabouts, or search for "local log"
    3. Paste the following 3 lines under "local log"
    local GOLD = string.gsub(GOLD_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
    local SILVER = string.gsub(SILVER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
    local COPPER = string.gsub(COPPER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
    4. Save the file and reload your game.

    Esamynn, and others,

    I stand corrected :)

    I guess when I read that and the replacement stopped errors popping up I got a bit excited. Instead, I should just let people who do know what they are doing get on with it. If it was that easy, it would have been posted before I thought it up of course.

    So apologies, and keep up the great work on a great addon. Thanks in advance and have fun

    Well, for the time being, if you don't want to see the errors being shown, just simply go to the interface in the game, go down to help and then uncheck display lua errors. Won't solve the problem, but at least you won't have to see the error everytime you loot.

    In reality, this error is not causing any problems for Gatherer (except for recording chests and footlockers). The error message is a bit ugly, yes, but most of the functionality is still intact.

    But in order to help, I'll post my error.
    Always happens when I loot a mob, that has money.

    The author of another addon called mobmap (can be found at http://www.mobmap.de) has also got a similar failur with build 2.4.2 of WOW. He or she fixed it already, maybe he or she is able to give you a solution - if you want to get help...

    in the LibSwag.lua Line 212-216

    you have to change to :


    i,j, val = string.find(lName, "(%d+) "..COPPER_AMOUNT)
    if (i) then coin = coin + val end
    i,j, val = string.find(lName, "(%d+) "..SILVER_AMOUNT)
    if (i) then coin = coin + (val*100) end
    i,j, val = string.find(lName, "(%d+) "..GOLD_AMOUNT)


    because Blizzard has changed the Global Variables COPPER SILVER GOLD to ..._AMOUNT

    Tried that, it causes another set of errors. That fix may work for you, but like dalaera said, if it was that easy, there would have been a patch update already.

    Ok I have a feeling I'll be banging my head on the wall before this is finished but I'll give it another try.
    1. What other set of errors? (don't you think it might be helpful to post them?)
    2. I'll try to explain what those 3 lines I posted above do and why they work 100% (even if it's not the "best" solution).
    Let's take copper as an example.
    The old globalstring was COPPER = "Copper" or the localized equivalent for your game client.
    The new globalstring is COPPER_AMOUNT = "%d Copper" or the localized equivalent of the "Copper" part. %d is a format specifier in lua it just means a number (the amount of copper) will be there.

    LibSwag was using string.find(string, "(%d+) "..COPPER) to capture the amount of copper from loot strings like
    "You loot 45 Copper".
    What my 3 lines are doing is taking "%d Copper" and striping out the "%d " leaving only "Copper" or the localized equivalent.

    Now the string.find line further down can work just fine because COPPER is again defined locally and is the exact same
    thing it was before 2.4.2 (ie the localized "Copper" "Silver" "Gold" description).
    It works 100% and if you're getting other errors they're not caused by that change OR you did something silly like
    putting my 3 lines where I said AND ALSO making the change that Xandri and further up Dalaera suggested.

    If you put the 3 lines I suggested you don't need to make ANY other changes to the LibSwag.lua file.

    I'll re-iterate that the change suggested by Xandri is fixing absolutely nothing!
    You'll not get lua errors but the capture strings are now:
    string.find(lName, "(%d+) "..COPPER_AMOUNT)
    which is the same as typing
    string.find(lName, "(%d+) ".."%d Copper") and there's no loot message in the game with that format
    "You loot number1 number2 Copper".

    Either do my change and leave the rest of LigSwag alone (as it is in the original download)
    or wait for a proper fix by the authors because you obviously have no idea what you're doing ;)

    Could you link me to a update installation guide, thanks...

    I've been getting the following error messages nearly every time I loot a plant, node, mob, etc. since the latest WoW patch. This is REALLY annoying. I've only included the addon list for the first error message in the interest of not making this post 2 pages long by itself. I'd really appreciate advice in how to correct this.

    In other words: we fixed that issue ages ago, and you are running an out of date version of Gatherer.

    I have updated this file FIVE times. how many more times do you want me to try that? I came here ONLY because nothing I have done that was recommended on Curse.com worked.

    Thanks so much for your help :(

    oh, and yes, I have also totally removed it AND deleted the wtf file and started fresh.

    (edit) Sorry for the sarcasm, I'm tired, I haven't slept, and I just now scrolled thru the list of adds I listed and realized that the list says it's an outdated version. But, the version listed on my curse package manager is the updated version as is the version in my addon file. I've totally removed it once and redownloaded it, besides updating it twice before and twice after. I deleted my wtf file after the June WoW patch and that seemed to correct it until this latest patch. I'm at a loss.

    ArianBeth,

    According to the Addon list that is included with the error, you are running Gatherer, v2.99.0.0498, the current version of Gatherer is 3.1.2.00.00.

    So head to the link MattBnr provided in his post, http://gathereraddon.com/dl/ , and install the current version of Gatherer, 3.1.2.00.00. To ensure you are updating correctly, you need to download the installation file to your sytem desktop, unzip the contents, and then move the two folders within to the ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns directory.

    While you are at it, you need to be sure to update all of your other addons as well, since some other authors have borrowed part of what makes Gatherer work, called a library. If an old copy of the library remains, then any addon using that library will throw errors. The reason for this is because WoW only loads one copy of a library, to save on memory, rather than loading one copy for each program that needs the functionality.

    You do not need to do anything special to update the libraries, as they are included with each addon.

    Hope you are error-free soon,

    Nikk :shades:

    /sigh I did update from here, the last 2 update tries were direct from here. I update Auctioneer and Cartographer from here also. I update every addon I have just as soon as one is available from the author or, as in some cases, a fan. Unfortunately, some of my adds have been orphaned, but I have come to depend on them and continue to use them until they get so 'buggy' that I'll have to delete them. ::cries with frustration as she heads back to try one last time::

    ArianBeth,

    So, just to be absolutely, 100% sure you are getting the right version...

    * Close out of WoW completely.
    * On your desktop, make a new folder, let's call it "Stuff" =)
    * Go into your ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns directory and delete the folder entitled Gatherer and the one called GatherHUD.
    * Leave that folder open, we will be coming back to it soon.
    * Download this file to your desktop: http://gathereraddon.com/dl/?dl=Gatherer/Gatherer-3.1.2.zip
    * Open the file using the file decompresser of your choice, such as Winzip, 7zip, the embedded Windows extractor, or Stuff-it Expander for the Mac.
    * When you try to open the files and expand them, you will be asked for a destination, direct those files to that new "Stuff" folder we just made on the desktop.
    * After the quick extraction, you should now see two files in your Stuff folder
    * Grab those two files, Gatherer and GatherHUD and drag them into your ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns directory
    * Go into WoW and try killing some sort of creature that drops money to ensure Gatherer is working.
    * Delete that Stuff folder from the desktop

    You should then be all set,

    Nikk :shades:

    One note: if using Vista, moving WoW out of C:\Program Files\ can help with a lot of addon issues (I recommend moving it to someplace like C:\Games\... instead) as Vista doesn't like users or programs messing with the Program Files directory

    All,

    Indeed, I highly second that one as well...

    Let's see, Shirik did something useful a while back, allow me to find it.

    Here we go- http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14650

    That is one of the better write-ups, explaining the How's and Why's of UAC, Vista, and their interplay with WoW and AddOns.

    Best of luck,

    Nikk :shades:

    ::shudder:: I won't even consider buying a computer if I have to have Vista on it until MS works out the kinks. If I was a bit more computer savvy, I'd dump windows completely and run Linux. But, I'm old, cranky and lazy, so I'll have to accept the price of that and keep WinXP. The boyfriend, however, has Vista and seems to be able to work around it's foibles. I'll point him at that link, tho. Information is power.

    On the up side, Gatherer seems to be working again for now. At least until the next WoW patch. I had not previously deleted the HUD file, so maybe that was the difference. Maybe in the mean time I'll figure out why the June and July WoW patches caused (?) gatherer to revert to the 2.99 version if it wasn't the HUD file.

    Thanks for your patience. I[u] [b]usually[/b][/u] know when it's time to walk away from the computer and go bang my head against a wall somewhere for an hour or until the urge to switch to cat form and tear out throats passes. (yes, I play too much WoW) Gatherer is a great add and I depend on it a lot.

    Ari
