got this problem thousands of time today in raid

yea, doing wave in MH :) i'll try to do test out of raid after our raid is over. anyway this evening i did solo and group killing and there was no problem.

Ok i tried solo and group'd, got error only when in group.

deleted addon folder and also wtf savedvariables. still got error when not solo :/

I'm using standalone libraries with en_gb locale.
I tried with only Eavesdrop and related libs and got no errors.
Maybe i've a not update lib somewhere. I'll check it.

Ok i've done a wipe of all embedded libs of all my addon, got again those errors.

Well, thanks for asking me to look further for analyze the problem. Thanks because i spent more than an hour to investigate and finally i found what could be the problem. Yesterday I deleted my wtf eavesdrop files but i didn't see that i left those in Server/Charname/Savedvariables directory so i think those old settings were the problem.
Now it seems everything is alright. :D

Hello Grayhoof.

Not sure if its directly related to your addon, but when i try to parse a string from eavesdrop to any type of chat i recieve the following error:

[2008/03/29 16:32:48-141-x3]: SendChatMessage(): Invalid escape code in chat message:

you can see the output of eavesdrop in the editbox but hitting enter to post it fails.

Hey, I just started using eavesdrop and I like it so far, but I have a couple questions.

Why can I color incoming misses, but not my misses?

I'd like to have buff gains show on the outgoing side, instead of with incoming damage, is this possible?

I receive the same error

The string is

11:28:52, [Incandescent Fel Spark's] Fel Fireball hits [Scylia] for 679 Fire.

I guess the invalid char cames from the escape code to add the icon (\124) ?

Why self power gains (+rage from Unbridled Wrath talent and from Bloodrage for example) appearing on the right side of the frame in the "Target" part? How to put it to the left side "Player" part?

Yes, the invalid code is the icon- I have written a small fix (which just removes the icon).

Open EavesDrop.lua in WORDPAD or somthing that accepts unix style line endings (if you see one really long line of code, its probably wrong)
Search for the function cleanstring which looks like

local function cleanstring(s)
 s = gsub(s, "|r", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|c........", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hunit:..................:([%w%s*%-*]*)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Haction:([%w_*]*)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hitem:(%d+)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "\n", ", ")
 return s
end

Copy and paste these three lines into it- right before return s

 s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:dest", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:source", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|TInterface.TargetingFrame.UI.RaidTargetingIcon.%d.blp:0|t", "")

Resulting in

local function cleanstring(s)
 s = gsub(s, "|r", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|c........", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hunit:..................:([%w%s*%-*]*)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Haction:([%w_*]*)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hitem:(%d+)|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|h", "")
 s = gsub(s, "\n", ", ")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:dest", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|Hicon:%d+:source", "")
 s = gsub(s, "|TInterface.TargetingFrame.UI.RaidTargetingIcon.%d.blp:0|t", "")
 return s
end

Save the file, and that should fix your problems. (Maybe if I'm bored tomorrow I'll actually make it so it shows the icons.... or try)

Hey Grayhoof, just wondering if you were planning to implement totemsupport into ED anytime soon? I noticed that the blizzard CL does have this and thought that you'd maybe want to implement it yourself ;>
