F menu = 'not a valid target'

karliahquinn

Hello, does anyone know which addon is causing a bug where the circular menu for interacting with other players is broken? For the last few months I have not been able to create interactions with other players (trade, duel etc) only receive them. Whenever another player is in my field of vision I just see (F) and bringing up the wheel and choosing an option just results in, "not a valid target". It happened after the Blackwood update. I'm hoping to avoid uninstalling addons one by one as I have a lot!

Do you happen to run Shissu's Guild Tools? Disabling Shissu's Blacklist fixed the targeting menu for me.

I do! Tysm for the heads up, I'll try disabling it after maintenance

Damn, it didn't work

Maybe try disabling SGT entirely and see if that fixes it? Then you can turn on the modules individually to see which one was causing the issue.

Disabling it altogether worked! Tyvm

For me it was Shissu's player observation! Thank you for starting me on this hunt! You really narrowed it down for me

A good way to test which addon casues something is installing "Addon Selector".
It can save profiles of the enabled addons so you are able to easily switch and get back to before enbaled addons (e.g. PvP, PVE, Quest, Trade, Guild stuff etc.)
It also speeds up loading times as you can easily swithc the saved pack/profile so that guild addons are not enabled if you only run around farming items, or doing dungeons. Each addon enabled will slow down the loading screens a bit. And if e.g. MasterMerchant or LibHistoire with it's big SavedVariables files are used it's way slower than without them!

You can then save your profile like "_BEFORE TEST" (start with _ or ! so it is one of the firsts in the list of saved profiles/packs) and disable the lower half of the addons enabled.
You can e.g. left click on the first enabled addon in the pack, then scroll down to the half and press SHIFT + left click on the addon there. The list now should disable all addons which are enabeld between the first and 2nd clicked addons! Same for enabling again.

This way you can mass-disable/enable the addons, cutting the total enabled list into "half" and then again the half f that half and so on until you find out that the error is gone. After that go on with smaller portions within the left-over enabled addons to track it down to the addon(s) causing it.

btw: Votans Addon List is a nice addon to help you automatically enabling needed libraries for addons. If you e.g. click on "FCO Companion" it will autoamtically check which dependencies are needed and enable LibAddonMenu-2.0 for you too.

For anyone looking for a better answer to this, the exact Shissu's addon causing issues is Shissu's Player Observation. It's the one that replaced Blacklist 1 and 2.
