About Modular UI Errors Frame

Allows for the hiding of errors in the UIErrorsFrame and Error speech from a modular approach and does not disable or hide the UIErrorsFrame just stops the accumulation of errors, enabled by default.

/err1 or /errshow shows all error messages - disables this addon

/err0 or /errhide blocks common error messages - enables the addon

To prevent certain fizzle sounds from being played while using a macro if an error occurs (ie. Item/spell not ready/equipped) I included No_ErrorSounds from curse.com, pay close attention to how to install it. No_ErrorSounds will stop the "gong" or "whoosh" sounds you would hear repeatedly if you spam a macro.

I recommend NOT using /err0 and err1 in macros, simply add the message to the list described in the change log

1.4 Change Log:

Made the addon enabled by default

included an enumerated list with common error messages that will be suppressed in localization.lua.

each line in the table takes the form of

  [<exact quoted error message>] = true/false ,
  i.e.
  ["Item is not ready yet."] = true ,

where true means the message will be blocked and false/nil allows the message to be displayed. Only the messages listed in this list that equal true will be blocked, add or remove some declarations as you see fit, I' ve included the common annoying ones, post more if you think they should be added.

Still to Come:

GUI to support advanced preferences

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

What was your motivation for creating this addon when there are several UIError addons available?
I am curious.

I created this addon for the simple reason that I do not like any of the others, they try to do too much at the expense of garbage collection and memory, or have conflicts with other addons.

I only place it here in this way so I can share my preferences, without the hassle of doing it in some other provisional form.

The existence of other UIError addons does not prevent me from creating one of my own, but provides others with the ability to chose which better suites them.

My motivation was initially to create a silent addon that is easily configurable, and low on resources.

I do not expect it to be a contender because people often go for the other side of the spectrum: overly robust and laced with embroidery.

I like efficiency :-)

The way I have it configured at the moment forces error speech off when enabled. Other than that, ModularUIErrorsFrame has nothing to do with sounds. No_ErrorSounds on the other hand blocks sounds made by actions tied to error message in the UIErrorFrame. These sounds are "fizzle sounds" that play only when u attempt to do something with a spell/ability/item that is not ready. So if u want to hear these error sounds each time u press a button that is bound to something not ready while playing (which are extremely annoying if you have your sound enabled) don't use No_ErrorSounds. No other sounds are affected in the least, and yes these sounds are always blocked.
