I have multiple toons on the same account and what I am finding is that on my main, I do not get the large boxes when looting, but while on the alts, I do get the wide boxes.
Is there something we can specifically test to help resolve this issue.\
worked f?r me. but i don't think, that that's the final solution...^^
I suspect this bug has something to do with the fact that the recent patch changed the anchoring to the nearest corner rather than top left (this change makes it easier to stop things falling offscreen when toggling full-screen vs. window mode). A number of other mods had to be updated to deal with this as well.
I'm having issues with Xloot monitor not always showing roll values in groups. My loot information is set to detailed and is output to it's own chat tab, so that I can look at all the roll information if I want to without having it clutter my main chat tab all the time. All I usually want to know is who rolled need/greed/pass, which works, as well as the winning roll compared to my roll, or my roll if I won, which rarely works. Are there any other settings or addons that are known to affect this?
I am also having the very large loot window issue.
I tried messing with the scale, but that didn't work.
I found every instance of the file "layout-cache.txt" and removed any reference to XLoot, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting my saved variables and started over, but that didn't work.
For now it's an annoyance and occasionally I poke at the code to see if I can fix it myself, but no luck so far.
I fixed my issue like this by resetting the profiles to defaults, all the giant looting windows reverted back to their original sizes with out any more issues for the last 4 days.
So, it shouldn't make a difference, but TBH, stranger things have happened. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue, since turning off the snap loot frames to mouse option, but then again, I don't really need that option since I leave autoloot on.
My question is: if I'm the master loot for a raid, XlootMaster will give me any option to do a 'raid roll' to define who gets the item? I know that there's an 'random' option on the configuration, but I'm afraid to start the raid with a new addon to handle loot and doing something stupid like rolling wrong on Kael's Phoenix Mount (not that we're even past Attumen...:) )
I recommend, the next time you and some guildmates get in a group for an instance, explain that you want to test out XLoot's master loot system. Be the group leader and set the looting type to Master Looter, threshhold Uncommon. That should give you numerous opportunities within any 5-man instance to test how it works.
If you're not absolutely sure about what might happen by the time you hit a boss, you can always turn the looting type back to whatever you normally use temporarily, until after the boss.
However since this is an intermittent problem, I'm not 100% sure it's fixed :)
I can only say I haven't had it reappear after I made the change.
I'd appreciate it if more of those having the problem can check and if it's indeed fixed,
some kind soul with SVN access commiting.
What needs to be done is change line 85
in XLoot\XLootSkin.lua to this: wrapper:SetPoint("CENTER", button, "CENTER", 0, 0)
the glitch can easily be reproduced.. disable auto loot for a min, drag the frame to the far right side to where the loot window is hanging off the screen. close the window and re open. it should re open at your cursor and with a big ass frame to boot.
i'll try this fix at home tonight and see if it works.
@Speeddymon
true, should be equivalant. but best to specifiy things when they go wack'ed. :D
Soo I searched the list and Wiki but did not find any information about how XLoot Master and Monitor work. While is easy to see how the monitor works while soloing, the same is not true for XLoot Master :)
My question is: if I'm the master loot for a raid, XlootMaster will give me any option to do a 'raid roll' to define who gets the item? I know that there's an 'random' option on the configuration, but I'm afraid to start the raid with a new addon to handle loot and doing something stupid like rolling wrong on Kael's Phoenix Mount (not that we're even past Attumen...:) )
Thanks for any help.
last call for an answer before I screw up the looting. :)
I guess this is another reason why I don't have it anchored to my cursor. :P Besides it being annoying as hell. :)
I anchor it, cuz I am lazy :P But that said, it IS annoying at times. I only use xloot because the default frame ... uhm annoyed me. But now I've learned how to modify blps (legally) I might use that a lot.
Ps. Does the author mind if I modify the code to have a different skin (which most likely will be custom textures)?
Well, now it seems to be working for me. Perhaps after I wiped all my settings for XLoot I needed to login and logout so it would save some new variables.
I really hope someone can help me as I love X loot. The problem that Im having only happens in groups and raids and whats happening is I cant see the items that are being rolled for I cant roll need greed or even pass as it doesnt give me the options. Please help as this is REALLY annoying and its driving me insane! I updated Xloot Via WAU and like I said everything elese is working but when it comes down to an item that can be rolled for I cant do anything and it really sucks I basically have to wait for the time to pass.
for some reaseon my loot window became extlemely large, look:
this is exactly frame that opens, see how right side is bigger than needed?

Lrn2Read, even though i can't see the image at work i can only guess that it's taking up half the screen and is all fubared to hell.
if you would have read the last page or 2 of the thread.

/flame off
my classic solution to this problem untill someone can recode the wrapper frames to anchor properly, is to disable AutoLoot for a second, drag the frame to the far left of the screen and re open the loot window ; Fix'ed, window normal again.

It probably gives a hint to where the problem lies,
but I have my plate full with debugging a couple of my guild mods on 2.3.
What you can do to "fix" it for the current session is
(1) drag the lootwindow to the top-leftmost corner of the screen,
(2) loot to close it.
Subsequent loot will have a normal sized border.

wrapper:SetPoint("CENTER", button, "CENTER", 0, 0)
According to wowwiki:
The following are all equivalent.
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0); MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0); MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT"); MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent");So, it shouldn't make a difference, but TBH, stranger things have happened.
