If people still got problems with this feature, I could try a bigger overwrite. send a reply

First of all, thanks for the addon. Been using it forever.

With this latest update came UI errors, however. Something to do with new member notifications. Only happens when new members join the guild. Otherwise everything seems to be working.

Sadly I did not get a SS (derp) and now my main guild has stopped their big recruitment bonanza, but if I do see it again I'll definitely post it.

I do not want to use pNames, want to separate this, but despite the fact that the addon is, there are no changes, regardless of the setting. Possible incompatibility with Wykkid's Enhanced Chat or something else, but the people here write that the addon does not work. I would like to see it working.

Ayantir Forum posts: 1019 File comments: 1531 Uploads: 31	Heya here, debuggers are everywhere So first, thanks for the replys, i was searching why the bug mentionned by Migoda could happens, maybe underscore, or thing like this, but it seems to be random, so. wait & see for now. linkhandler corrected & local variables already corrected in beta version, still analizing puddy's code to make it better. createtable seems to be quite optimizable, and some some other stuff also. ps, yes I use zgoo & zbug, but if you got some debugging ingame tools, i'm still interested, be indulgent, i'm lua beginner will update tommorrow this standalone one and with pchat merged version too as long as colorization in this addon is not an option.

Proof:

Lua Code:

function pNames.convertName(channelID, from, text)
    local info = ChanInfoArray[channelID]
    local old_from = from
    ...
    d("pNames.convertName '" .. old_from .. "' => '" .. new_from .. "'")
    return new_from
end

I have corrected my post.
I have checked arguments in Zgoo and those arguments were probably already modified by pNames.

pNames.lua line 98 (in pNames.convertName) should be removed:

Lua Code:

-- Remove extra characters.
from = zo_strformat(SI_UNIT_NAME, from)

SI_UNIT_NAME is for formatting character names, not account names

Also there's a subtle bug in pNames.update, which receives guild id as an argument, but later calls GetGuildName(GetGuildId(id)) -- when guilds are re-numbered, for example after you leave a guild, this will not work, and will end up scanning all guilds everytime pNames.udpate is called.

EDIT:
(a bit corrected&extended what I have written before)

Lua Code:

from = zo_strformat(SI_UNIT_NAME, from)

I think this does not matter, this line just removes control characters from name.

When you are talking about bugs, this is not a valid character link:

Lua Code:

new_from = "|Hignore:character:" .. from .. "|h[" .. new_from .. "]|h"

There should be:

Lua Code:

new_from = "|H1:character:" .. from .. "|h[" .. new_from .. "]|h"

or even better is:

Lua Code:

if IsDecoratedDisplayName(from) then
    new_from = ZO_LinkHandler_CreateLink(new_from, nil, DISPLAY_NAME_LINK_TYPE, UndecorateDisplayName(from))
else
    new_from = ZO_LinkHandler_CreateLink(new_from, nil, CHARACTER_LINK_TYPE, from)
end

It's because 'new_from' can be both character name or display name, you can change it in the settings.

In functions function pNames.createTable(...) and pNames.update(...) is not defined that variables hasChar and character should be local.
As it is now, condition:

Lua Code:

if hasChar and character then

can be true even if GetGuildMemberCharacterInfo(id, member) returns nil. It could cause bugs in lookup table.
