Constant LUA errors

TastesAllColors · May 2020

I get a constant stream of Lua errors. Any solutions?

bravo for getting online, normally that will be out of date add-ons - have a close look at the messages they may include the name of the add-on causing the issue.

Mine are from Fraykin's minimap.

I get about 1/second, even standing still.
My error msgs go to my notification window, and I /reloadui about every 800 to 900 of them.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. I was just hoping there might be a general solution other than disabling out of date addons

The reason for the LUA errors is probably, and mostly due to the addon creators/updaters not being able to get online to test or.. did get logged in once but then realised its probably not wise to logout when noone else can get on to play.

Whilst updating addons is usually the solution, i am thinking after today's debacle, not many will update them on day 1.

I know that the AUI minimap was throwing errors. I turned off the minimap module, and the rest is working fine.

you can get an addon that puts the error messages in the chat window instead of in a separate window n the middle of your screen. You will need to find and update / disable the addons eventually but at least you can play that way

Make sure and update your addons, and check "enable out of date." Master Recipe List specifically had a bug that could cause long initial character loads the first time you log in, which has been fixed.

Look to make sure that you've selected the option to run "Out of Date" add-ons, even if you had it selected prior to the patch.
The update reset that option (the check-box became un-checked). You just have to re-check the box.

I did that, myself, and it cleared up most of the errors, but I still had one add-on that was acting-up.
When I looked at it in Minion (MiniMap by Fyrakin), it hasn't been updated since February, so I disabled it, and the lua errors stopped completely. I'll leave it disabled until Fyrakin hopefully decides to update it.

Edit: Sorry for parroting what a few others have already said. None of those responses were there when I started typing my response.
Stupid fat fingers.

Disable AUI addon until gets an update

Here's a fix to Fyrakin's Minimap from https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info605-MiniMapbyFyrakin.html#comments
if someone is interested and while waiting for the fix from the author.

You need to change the following line in the MiniMap.lua file, at the line 3518:

from this:

Code:

pin.mpin = ZO_MapPin:New()

to this:

Code:

pin.mpin = ZO_MapPin:New(ZO_WorldMapContainer)

I haven't tested it a lot, but it seems to be working.

EDIT: Fyrakin is now fixed and working normally after the update

Yeah, that one worked for me.

You can also try the 'No, thank you!' addon to suppress some error messages. Better to fix them at the root, obviously.
