Ok, i'm using this and couldn't live without it, i'm trying to update it to use LibSink-2.0 instead of SinkLib

raidReRoute = AceLibrary("AceAddon-2.0"):new("AceConsole-2.0","AceDB-2.0","AceHook-2.1","Sink-1.0")

DEFAULT_CHATFRAME_ALPHA = 0

local addon = raidReRoute
addon:RegisterDB("RRRdb") 

function addon:OnEnable()
	self:SecureHook("RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent")
    self:RegisterChatCommand( "/rrr", self.options ) 
end

function addon:RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent( orig , event, message, ... )
	if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
		self:Pour( message ) --add [, red , blue , green , alpha ] to this to add color.
		return RaidWarningFrame:Hide()
	end
end

I tried to replace Sink-1.0 with LibSink-2.0 but then it gave this error.

[2008/04/26 12:42:11-8208-x1]: raidReRoute-1.0\raidReRoute.lua:1: AceAddon: AceOO-2.0: table: 10843E88 is not an appropriate mixin

Could anyone help please ?

I don't think AceAddon-2.0 supports embeding non AceLibrary addons so you need to use LibStub to retrieve the lib and :Embed(addon) to embed it.

raidReRoute = AceLibrary("AceAddon-2.0"):new("AceConsole-2.0","AceDB-2.0","AceHook-2.1")
LibStub("LibSink-2.0"):Embed(raidReRoute)

Thanks a lot, gonna give this a try right now.
I was also wondering, since sooner or later everything will be Ace3'ed, how difficult would that be for coders to translate/adapt this very small piece of code :)

If i'm asking this it's because this is not on the svn, very few ppl use it if there is any so no one will ever update it, unfortunately i don't have the knowledge to do it myself.

Ace3 is quite similar to Ace2. Unfortunatly there isn't alot of the documentation for it in the wiki but the actual files are very well commented so you'll need to look through them to find the mixins and how to use them. Here are a few links that may help:

http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Ace3
http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Differences_from_Ace2_to_Ace3
http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WelcomeHome_-_Your_first_Ace3_Addon

Well after a few tries i'm giving up, i don't plan to become a lua coder, was just hoping someone could help me move this small code to Ace3, thanks anyway.

Well i deleted it now, but ok i'll try again, but to be honnest it's like asking a french to speak chinese just because he seen a chinese movie, i'm writing/copy/pasting things that i barely understand so.

raidReRoute = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("raidReRoute", "AceConsole-3.0, LibSink-2.0")

end

	if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
		self:Pour( message ) --add [, red , blue , green , alpha ] to this to add color.
		return RaidWarningFrame:Hide()

local sink = LibStub("LibSink-2.0")

local function OnEvent(frame, event, msg)
 if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
   sink:Pour(msg)
 end
end

hooksecurefunc("RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent", OnEvent)
RaidWarningFrame:SetScript("OnShow", RaidWarningFrame.Hide) --Prevent the frame from showing
RaidWarningFrame:Hide()

Should work.

What was the database set up for? Was it to disable the addon on chat command?

First off, this was made to allow the user to redirect the messages sent to the blizzard "ugly" raid warning frame to any LibSink compatible addons, like Parrot, MSBT or anything else.

The database well i'm not sure, i guess to save the output settings.

@ Slakah Your code works but i have no way to set up the output frame and i don't see anything related to chatcommands or options, how do i select the output frame ? and how do i get the settings to be saved please ?

Anyway i really gotta learn this, jut wonder where to start.

I think you're doing too much using sink, choose what frame you want outputed and hardcode that frame in.

I'm not sure to understand but i wish i could :)

About doing too much, well, all the addons i use allow me to choose in which frame i want them to output, the only thing that won't are the simple /rw sent by raid leaders for example, raidReRoute helps me to do that.

local RWF = RaidWarningFrame
local addmsg = RWF.AddMessage
function RWF:AddMessage(text,r,g,b, ...)
  MikSBT.DisplayMessage(text, nil, nil, r * 255, g * 255, b * 255)
  return addmsg(self, text,r,g,b,...)
end
RWF:SetScript("OnShow",RWF.Hide)
RWF:Hide 

This should work for MSBT, check the MSBT API page for more info on MikSBT.DisplayMessage()

Quote from Funkydude »

Basically, what frame do you want it diverted to?

Well not any specific frame, i mean, have the usual choice offered by sink: msbt, parrot, sct, hide, chatframe and so on.

@Slakah but, i'm not using msbt.
your above code is working fine:

local sink = LibStub("LibSink-2.0")

local function OnEvent(frame, event, msg)
 if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
   sink:Pour(msg)
 end
end

hooksecurefunc("RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent", OnEvent)
RaidWarningFrame:SetScript("OnShow", RaidWarningFrame.Hide) --Prevent the frame from showing
RaidWarningFrame:Hide()

all i want is to add output frame selection "sink" and save settings, basically what the original code does, all i asked was to make it ace3 and dependant of LibSink-2.0 instead of Sink-1.0, nothing else.

So as noob i assume these lines have to be included/translated:

addon:RegisterDB("RRRdb")
self:RegisterChatCommand( "/rrr", self.options )
if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
self:Pour( message ) --add [, red , blue , green , alpha ] to this to add color.
return RaidWarningFrame:Hide()
end

But i don't know where, and how.

local sink = LibStub("LibSink-2.0")
RaidReRoute = RaidReRoute or "SCT" --Set default
local chat = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME
SLASH_RAIDREROUTE1 = "/raidreroute"
SLASH_RAIDREROUTE2 = "/rrr" -- A shortcut or alias
SlashCmdList["RAIDREROUTE"] = function(msg)
  if msg and sink.handlers[msg] then
   RaidReRouteDB = msg
  else
   chat:AddMessage("Type /rrr <Output area> to set the RaidWarningFrame output area /n Output Areas:")
   for k, v in pairs(sink.handlers) do
     chat:AddMessage(k)
   end
  end
end


function RaidWarningFrame:AddMessage(msg,r,g,b)
  sink:Pour(RaidReRouteDB, msg,r,g,b)
end

This should work, you would need to create a variable in Saved Variables field in the toc of this addon called "RaidReRouteDB". Fingers Crossed.

@Slakah No errors, chat commands for /rrr are displayed but nothing i type like for example /rrr Parrot works, the output is still being made to the normal RWF.
What weird also is that there's no scroll area selection, the choices list for addons is displayed but no areas. But your code is the closest thing to something working

@Xinhuan, i tried to add your corrected line to the original code

raidReRoute = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("raidReRoute", "AceConsole-3.0", "LibSink-2.0")

local addon = raidReRoute
addon:RegisterDB("RRRdb") 

function addon:OnEnable()
	self:SecureHook("RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent")
    self:RegisterChatCommand( "/rrr", self.options ) 
end

function addon:RaidWarningFrame_OnEvent( orig , event, message, ... )
	if event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID_WARNING" then
		self:Pour( message ) --add [, red , blue , green , alpha ] to this to add color.
		return RaidWarningFrame:Hide()
	end
end

but:
