GridStatusMissingBuffs

[Azethoth]

I added the GridStatusMissingBuffs plugin for Grid since it has been abandoned by its author. Basically it tracks when a buff is missing, as opposed to present and most importantly it combines the welfare & deluxe buffs together (gotw + motw for example). This makes it easy to use Grid for raid, party and solo buffing.

The version checked in is from wowinterface as modified by ... uh .. some guy & posted to his website and any modifications I made to my local copy since then. I am not planning on maintaining this per se, but I do need it or its functionality available in Grid, so feel free to fix things, maybe improve things, but do not break things.

Probably the one thing this needs for true glory is an Indicator type that has a timer & starts to slowly then more rapidly flash as the timer draws to an end.

GridStatusMissingBuffs has worked fine until I updated it via WowAceUpdater some days ago.
I keep getthing these errors since then:

Disabling GridStatusMissingBuffs gets rid of the error, but I'd really like to use this

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this mod. Missing buffs were all that were missing in order for me to completely replace my raid frames with Grid. Thanks

I too get the errors dodga posted about:

And:

And I too can get rid of the errors by disabling GridStatusMissingBuffs, but that's a sad way to go Anyone else get these errors? Or, anyone that have a solution

I am trying to figure out the trick to this addon. It is not giving me any errors suggesting its not functioning correctly. However, I never recieve an indication that a buff is needed. Is there a trick to enabling the buff indication? Do I need to do any sort of configuration of the buff? I have verified that te buffs are all enabled, and I do have the buff. I was hoping to get rid of SmartBuff and Healbot and instead use Grid and Clique. So far everything is working well...except for Buff indication.

Thanks.

[larrya3416]

OK, nevermind I found the option. Guess I just had to post first before I was able to find it. Now my only question is why don't Shaman weapon buff indications go away after casting the spell. I got it working for my other buffs such as Lightning Shield. Odd, since Healbot has the same issue. Only SmartBuff seems able to properly deal with Shaman weapon buffs. Or perhaps I just haven't figured out how to configure it yet

Not sure how this is arrising but I checked in some code that may stop the error itself. The data would still be bad, dunno if that will have other effects.

I suspect it has to do with adding a custom buff of your own but not entering a description? Or perhaps the description is getting nilled somehow. If you can provide a recipe for recreating the bug that would be great.

I started getting this error about the same time as dodga as well. I have several custom buffs for status indicators (Rejuvination, Regrowth, Innervate, Lifebloom, and Soulstone Resurrection), but they are working fine as status indicators. I could delete my grid saved variables, but the thought makes me cry.

I should have tried this earlier... /smackself I tried starting with only BugSack, Grid and GridStatusMissingBuffs - and I still got the error. But I never tried to delete the savedvariables file, and lo and behold, when I tried that the pesky errors went away faster than my salary on a friday night. It now works flawlessly with all my addons activated again, but yes... one do have to go through ones settings to recreate them all - but it's worth it. Note to self: try basic things first :P

I updated GridStatusMissingBuffs yesterday and got some errors with DeuceCommander.
I removed the options for GridStatusMissingBuffs from Grid's SavedVariables file (e.g. WoW\WTF\Account\...\SavedVariables\Grid.lua - backup before!) and now it's working again.
Thanks for the fix
