Happy to help! Thank you for your kind words as always and have a good game

Hey again, sorry to bother you notnear, but ive ran into an issue with the current block out of combat in combination with block on recast. On both controller and Keyboard and mouse, when playing as dragon knight and using Engulfing Flames, despite having both options enabled, only casting outside of combat is blocked but not the recast. Now, I dont know if this is intended or a limitation, but would it be possible to make these two settings not exclusive to each other? Granted, i havent tested it with other skills yet but i assume it might be the same. Thanks again for your time and cheers

Yes it was intended, each block overwrites the one before. I can try to make out of combat not exclusive, similar to the pvp one. Will take a look at that later today

Thanks king

Hey kalitva!
I can take a look at the possibility for this "block when not on max crux", ~but it seems that the lib currently is not being able to block Fatecarver at all, so I'll have to see about at that too~ (seems to be affecting only one of my characters..? weird, could use some input if anyone bumps into this). The "block while out of combat" should be possible, I'll test it out. Thank you for the suggestions

Hi XoloD89, I'll take a look at implementing that for arcanist abilities since it's a single buff that contains the stacks. As for other ability stacks, for now at least I don't plan on adding that functionality. Thank you for the suggestion

Assuming you meant for the recast function, the extra ids will be added on the next update (3.1.1).

Amazing it works! Words can not describe how much your addon improved my enjoyment with this game. Thank you!

I should have just waited for Skill Blocker to eventually do the right thing as I moved to another zone, instead of checking immediately after entering Cyrodil/IC (and then just unblocking the skill myself altogether).

Thanks again for the explanation!

For IC it was still unreliable tho, since there are not many zone changes, 3.1.0 fixed that and should have better performance as it is not calling the whole Initialize function every time the event is triggered

Have a good one and thanks for the help figuring out the issue!

The following are the exact steps I used to reproduce the issue that I'm facing.

1. Exited game.
2. Told Minion to ignore updates for Skill Blocker.
3. Removed NearSkillBlocker folder from the AddOns folder.
4. Removed NearSkillBlocker.lua from the SavedVariables folder.
5. Installed Skill Blocker manually.
6. Started game and disabled literally every addon/library except for Near's Skill Blocker, LibSkillBlocker, and LibAddonMenu-2.0.
7. Logged into game in PVE zone (Vivec City

).
8. Opened Settings->Addons->Near's Skill Blocker and set "Toggle block on PVP zones" to OFF.
9. Added Inner Light with the following settings:

Block cast - ON
Block recast - OFF
Block in PVP - OFF

10. Inner Light is blocked as expected at this point.
11. Ported in to Imperial City Sewers.
12. Inner Light is still blocked at this point.
13. I ran reloadui and see that NearSkillBlocker.lua is created for the first time in the SavedVariables folder, with the following:

14. I opened up Settings->Addons->Near's Skill Blocker and saw that the settings have not changed. Strangely though, the Currently Registered list showed nothing.
15. However, Inner Light is no longer blocked in Imperial City Sewers.
16. I exited Imperial City Sewers and returned to Vivec City.
17. Inner Light remains unblocked.
18. I logged out of the game and log back in.
19. Inner Light is once again blocked in Vivec City.
20. I returned to IC Sewers and, again, Inner Light remains blocked.

Interesting, my tests were in Cyrodiil and not Imperial City Sewers so that's why I was not getting this result.

What happens is that the check for pvp/pve zones is done when the EVENT_ZONE_CHANGED is triggered, which isn't the case for IC (unless you move between districts using the doors for eg, which will give you a message on the top left with your current region) so that's why it is not immediately unregistering, only when you toggle the option already inside or reload the ui, as the function is called on these situations.
The same applies to returning to Vivec City in this case, you need to go past a region "border" for it to try to block, for eg go from inside the city to the Vivec City Wayshrine.

Hopefully my explanation makes sense xD

I'll work on a different handler for the pve/pvp check when I have some free time, thank you for the feedback!

Edit:
Also for 14, "Currently Registered" is missing Inner Light because its the list of registered abilities returned by LibSkillBlocker
