error: FAS_VendorInfo[myFaction] -> indexing a ? value client: german wow v1.8
problem: local myFaction = UnitFactionGroup(“player”); returns “Alliance” not “FACTION_ALLIANCE”
dirty fix hack: change all `FAS_VendorInfo[myFaction]` to `FAS_VendorInfo[FACTION_ALLIANCE]`

Hi again,
AdSpace says that Formula: Enchant Gloves – Fishing is sold by Tharynn Bouden, Elywnn Forest, however, I don’t believe this is true. (As far as I know, all Vendor-sold Formulas are Common (white) as opposed to Uncommon (Green).
Sincerely, Dirt

Actually, there are a number of exceptions to the white/green rule for vendor-sold recipes; several white recipes are available only as drops, and some green recipes are sold by vendors (though Blizzard does seem to be fixing these a few at a time with each patch). That there are still many such exceptions is the reason AdSpace was first created.
That particular one may be a fluke, though… it’s inconsistently listed on the various WoW database sites.

Cool. Thanks for the output
I thoroughly enjoy your mods, and your website is very cool too.
Keep up the grand work.

This and disenchant predictor are both throwing this error:
GFWTooltip.lua:396:stack overflow
when ever I move the mouse over anything that has a tooltip and the tooltip doesn’t show.
Great addons, keep up the good work.

This didn’t seem to be happening with .1 of the addons.

First of all, thanks for this great mod!
I also got the “nil” Error in line 26 on my german client, and yesterday I decided to debug a bit…
As Flitzepfeil stated above, UnitFactionGroup(â€?playerâ€?) seems to always return the english name of the faction (returns “Alliance” for me), not the localized one. To compensate, I added a small function FAS_UnitFactionGroup (see below) to AdSpace.lua and replaced the two calls to UnitFactionGroup with calls to this new function:
… local myFaction = FAS_UnitFactionGroup(“player”); …
function FAS_UnitFactionGroup(object) local unitFaction = UnitFactionGroup(object); if ( unitFaction == “Alliance” ) then return FACTION_ALLIANCE; elseif ( unitFaction == “Horde” ) then return FACTION_HORDE; else return unitFaction; — just to be on the save side… end end
Additionally, I tweaked the german localization:
RETURN_TO = “Zur\195\188ckbringen zu”; (the old phrase “Zurueckkehren zu” actually means that I myself should go back to the mentioned NSC, whereas my translation covers the actual meaning of returning the item to the NSC…)
SOLD_FOR_PRICE_BY = “Zu kaufen f\195\188r %s bei”; SOLD_BY = “Zu kaufen bei”; (these two are only cosmetic, but I think they sound a bit smoother…)
Greetings and keep up the good work, Asjaskan

The server replaced a lot of the Underscores in my code above, I hope it’s readable anyhow…

Very nice, usefull mod. Told a guildmate about it, who kept paying too much on AH for vendor patterns (bit silly, I look up my plans before I spend to much, but this saves me time). No errors for me yet, just would like to say thank you and compliment you on your imaginative site

Latest version of disenchant predictor no longer produces stack overflow error. Still happening in ad space.
