About YouArentInAPartyFix

Fix this spam in battlegounds

Temporary fix for the "You aren't in a party." spam in battlegrounds, caused by old addons calling SendAddonMessage to "RAID" when in battlegrounds or arenas. This is a bug on Blizzard's part introduced in 3.2.0.

Type /yaiap and it will print out debug text every time an addon triggers the "You aren't in a party." message, best used before joining a battleground.

Sample code for fixing this problem:

function SendAddonMessageToRaid(pre, msg)
	if GetRealNumRaidMembers() == 0 or GetRealNumPartyMembers() == 0 then return end
	SendAddonMessage(pre, msg, "RAID")
end

Also fixes "You are not in a guild." messages.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

For what its worth,
if c[chl] and ((GetRealNumRaidMembers() == 0 and GetRealNumPartyMembers() == 0) or IsInGuild() == nil) then
would:
block messages to guild while not in a party/raid
block messages to party/raid while not in a guild
allow messages to raid while only in a party

Oops, I'll get this fixed. Thanks.

Since 3.3, occasionally when doing cross-realm random dungeons, I get an odd message something like "player 'x' is not in your group", 1-5 times...
I'll have to screenshot it next time I see it so I can give the exact wording.
Seems like some addon isn't quite handing the cross-realm instances :)

Excellent addon. Still works for 3.3. It helped me find that DoTimer was causing the spam I was getting in battlegrounds in 3.3.

When I type /yaiap, it doesn't tell me what addon is causing the error--all it returns is "Debug=True" or "Debug=False." Thoughts?

if you have debug = true, it will tell you more, if an addon tries to use sendaddonmessage in the wrong way.

Doesn't this stop the addon message entirely if you're in a raid and the message is for RAID?
Since t[loc] and t[chl] would be true and true?
Why not do
local t = {["pvp"] = true, ["arena"] = true}
local c = {["raid"] = true, ["party"] = true}

local function fix(pre, msg, ch, ...)
local _, loc = IsInInstance()
local chl = strlower(ch)
if t[loc] and c[chl] then
if DEBUG == true then
print("|c00ff0000YAIAP|r: prefix = |c0000ff00"..pre.."|r: debugstack = "..debugstack(3, 4, 0))
end
ch = "BATTLEGROUND"
end
old(pre, msg, ch, ...)
end

which says if we're in a pvp instance (BG or Arena), and the channel is RAID or PARTY, then set channel as BATTLEGROUND?

Is WG considered a PVP Instance?

Whitetooth said

r6 no longer uses the IsInInstance() method, so its no longer a problem :D

You are right, this is fixed in r5, thanks!

The problem is not only in LibHealComm-3.0. It would be nice if this addon could provide a stack trace (on request) of incidents, so addons that still do it could be identified and the authors notified.

Good idea, added /yaiap to enable debugstack print in r3.

I dont have HealComm and I still get all that crap. So if this stops it for me, more power to Whitetooth.

The fix is just to update you stupid HealComm. There was a fix a LONG time ago. You don't need another addon to counter a mistype in a script for another addon.
