Problem with Vicster's inventory insight

Rm4g3dD0v · July 2014

When I have Vicster's inventory insight addon active, I get a certain UI error message:

I have managed to succesfully isolate the conditions that reproduce the problem:
The error appears when you switch between the primary and secondary weapons. However if you relaod the UI the error does not reproduce itself when switching weapons, until you pickup an item either from loot or mission reward. I tried viewing the inventory a couple of times in case it's related to the "new" attribute in inventory, but nothing seems to correct the problem short of a reload ui command.

Note that if I disable Vicster's inventory insight addon, the problem goes away.

Now, I wouldn't make a fuss about it if the error window didn't cover half of the display and in the cernter of it. You can imagine how inconvinient it would be during combat to have to go into cursor mode to press the "dismiss error" button.

I'm not asking for a fix here but rather a workarround so that the error message does not appear.

Here is a list of my other plugins in case something is known to conflict with vicster's inventory insight:

Check the comments on esoui for that addon. Particularly the one located at:

I checked the comments on that page first thing before posting but there was nothing associated to this error.

I believe that this issue is not directly related to any addon. You can get the same error message even if you have all addons disabled.

Easy way how to reproduce this issue with disabled addons:

open inventory
place mouse cursor over any weapon, so you will see comparative tooltips
move cursor away at the same time as you press key to swap weapons

How to fix it? Report this issue to ZOS and/or add this line to the addon's initialization routine:

ZO_PreHook("ZO_InventorySlot_OnMouseEnter", function(slot) return slot == nil end)

okay, which file do I have to edit and where exactly? My programming skills are way too obsolete and rusty to figure this one out by myself. Thank you.

It should be enough to add it as the last line into the InventoryInsight.lua.

This is effing great. Since the last patch, I 'm getting CTDs each time i hover on an inventory item. Anyone would know what's going on?

It is most probably caused by addon which hooks tooltips. For example it could happen with old version of InventoryInsight or DataDaedra addons.

Try to update or diasable all addons which adds information to tooltips.

I always open minion to update addons before i play. For the moment I downloaded and installed another addon to show me the styles [text this time] untill Vickster updates his addon, or Bethesda fixes the game (yeah right).

I treally hate to have done this, but game has become unplayable.

I had this a little while ago, deleting the "InventoryInsight.lua" from the SavedVariables folder then logging back in on each character to re-create the file fixed it for me.

Just out of curiosity, how large is your "InventoryInsight.lua" SV file?
Mine was sitting at around 8MBs before deleting but is sitting at a little less than 2MB now.

4.86 Mb

I deleted it and retried, and it now works.
Amazing, the savedvariables file is now 200Kb
