Posted Dec 3, 2012Well i blocked this ;) i did what Mw999 said changed the <WoW Folder>\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\ChatEngine.lua on line 478.
And wim worked for 3 days until 5.1
Still works decent only raids i get tons of errors " soemtimes" i raided twice and first time i got so many error in short time, i got message saying to many errors, i turned it off.

Posted Nov 10, 2012The original text to change on line 478 is:
if UnitExists("party"..i) then
To prevent overwriting ChatEngine.lua in future versions of WIM, so I recommended to block WIM at r344 version with the changes made. I mean, not to ever upgrade unless WIM authors implement the necessary changes to fix the party chat.
Until next expansion not think (and hope) that requires more updates.

In file <WoW Folder>\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\ChatEngine.lua on line 478 xD
Find this script in your WoW addons folder and open it with an editor or the notepad of windows. Try to go to line 478. If you don't have an editor with line numbers search the text for "Party:PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED". The result should bring you to a function with that very same name.
In that function there is a line of code like this "for i=1, 4 do". Below it there is our problem line, something like "if UnitExists("party"..i)" (forgot how it looks, don't have the old one).
If you replace that line with this "if UnitExists = nil and UnitExists("party"..i) or _G.UnitExists = nil and _G.UnitExists("party"..i) then" then your group chat should be back in WIM.
NOTE: if there is an update this might be overridden and you might have to change it again, if there is no fix for the problem in that update.

I can't tell you that. I am just a programmer/WoW-player who, actually, got a bit annoyed by the bug and found this thread. And after I got an idea where the problem is, I tried to fix it. I have nothing to do with the team of this addon. Maybe krovikania can help you more on that? Not sure if he has anything to do with it. Or try to pm the authors (on the right) and ask if they actually gonna use the fix for the next release or patch.

Posted Nov 9, 2012Being thrown errors anytime I try to change a glyph. The only way to change one is to reload UI and change it before using WIM. Any fix for this? x.x It's really irritating when I'm having to ask the raid to wait for me to reload to change a glyph.

This post is wonderful. The party chat is 100% fixed.!!
Your other contribution, the WIM3_History, there was no need at the end. The recording of conversation also works OK.
Now I'll block the WIM in the r344 until the next expansion. It's the best, because developers are not for the issue and you had to be you, mw999, who had to solve the problem.
Thank you again for ChatEngine.lua modification. :)
By my side, ticket 344 is fixed and ready to close (if someone does).
Long life for WIM.
Regards

I'm still quite new to programming addons, and lua isn't really my language. But maybe "_G.WIM3_History" isn't defined. Which would result in an empty object.
In file <WoW Folder>\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\WIM.lua on line 366
_G.WIM3_History = _G.WIM3_History or {};
history = _G.WIM3_History;
So similar to the previous problem, using the global variable WIM3_History, if there is one, might help. Couldn't try it though, got to go to work ^^
_G.WIM3_History = _G.WIM3_History or {};
if not _G.WIM3_History and WIM3_History
//or maybe ..._G.WIM3_History == {} ... not sure what will work in lua
history = WIM3_History;
else
history = _G.WIM3_History;
end
Of course, probably won't work if WIM:VARIABLES_LOADED is only invoked once on startup. Maybe then you would have to move the declaration of "history" to the History.lua or somewhere fitting, if possible.

Works very very well. 2 days straight and still work. Work with players in the same realm, work in Escenarios, work in LFD.
Only remains 1 test. Tomorrow, in my EU server, test chat group in LFR.
EDIT: Conversation in Escenarios and LFD not record to history of WIM. With players on the same realm, yes.

Posted Nov 4, 2012about that party chat problem. I tried this:
In file <WoW Folder>\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\ChatEngine.lua on line 478
if UnitExists ~= nil and UnitExists("party"..i) or _G.UnitExists ~= nil and _G.UnitExists("party"..i) then
Seems to work fine up to now, would be great to hear your comments about it.
