Regen assistant disappeared

[nagymacs]

I was moving a bit around GUI elements (like chat, info panels, regen assistant, etc...) I have done something and the assistant disappered from the screen and I cannot get it back. Earleir it happened with the advanced battle chat. The only thing which helped a full reinstall of the game. Anyone have any idea what may have happened? I guess it is there just somehow out of the screen boundiaries

[nagymacs]

I have reinstalled the whole game, and then the mods. As soon as I moved it it disappered again.

I have informed this mod author, waiting for response. However would be good if you can attach logs too.

Here it is. I feel that is is some entry somewhere where the dispaly location of the mod is stored. But I dont know which file it is

Aslains_WoWs_Logs.zip

Many mods are saving to preferences.xml, but I don't know about this one.

Yeah, that was the first one I checked but nothing.

This is what I see there, the -5s are suspicious, what should be there? /Ezt látom a -5-ök gyanúsak. Minek kéne ott lenni?

I set it to 500/500, it dropped it back to the screen, but as sson as I tried to move it it disappered.

[nagymacs]

I can now confirm, that as soon as I try to move it with Ctlr+Mouse it will jump outside the screen to position -5(X)/-5(Y). But in the preferences.xml I can set any value and it will stay there. As long as I do not try to move it.

It moves out of screen sometimes, or top left for me.
It's annoying.....

By removing   <RA>    -5.0000    </RA> in the preferences file restored it to default, I'm doing copy and write protection on the file so it can't do more changes until this issue is fixed.

Yet another mod with compiled/obfuscated Python files. How WG checks these for approval, I have no idea.

Only the author can fix it.

Megkerülő megoldás

Ez a hiba csak akkor aktiválódik ha megpróbálod az egérrel elhúzni. Ha a preferences.xml-ben átírod a koordinátákat akkor a mod helyben marad.

Ez a kép a mod doboza, a zöld pixel a sarka, de a preferences.xml-ben a koordináták a számok dobozának a bal felső sarkáé: 5 pixellel lejjebb és 25-tel jobbra, a piros pixel.

Csinálj egy csata képernyőképet és nyisd ki a Paint-tel, mert az kiírja az egérmutató koordinátáit. Döntsd el hova akorod tenni a modot és írd be a koordinátákat a preferences.xml-be. Én a 2560x1440 febontású monitorommal ezeket használom:

<IMPositionX>
	<RA>	277.0000	</RA>
</IMPositionX>
<IMPositionY>
	<RA>	1148.0000	</RA>
</IMPositionY>

ÉS NE PRÓBÁLD AZ EGÉRREL ÁTHELYEZNI!

Hajrá!

 

Workaround

This bug shows up only when a player tries to drag the mod with the mouse. If its coordinates are edited in preferences.xml it will stay there.

This pic is the mod's box, its top left corner is its origin, the green pixel, but the coordinates in preferences.xml belong to the top left corner of the numbers field: 5 pixels down and 25 to the right, the red pixel.

Make a screenshot of a battle scene and open it in Paint, for Paint shows the coordinates of your mouse pointer. Decide where you want the mod to be located and edit the coordinates in preferences.xml. I use these for my 2560x1440 monitor:

<IMPositionX>
	<RA>	277.0000	</RA>
</IMPositionX>
<IMPositionY>
	<RA>	1148.0000	</RA>
</IMPositionY>

AND DON'T TRY TO DRAG IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Cheers!
