Errors with ElvUI v 12.86

[Jdaddy0007]

This error basically runs constantly overflowing my chat with the errors, making it unusable.
I love this addon! If there is any way you could update it, that would be GREAT!!!

These are the errors I am getting:

@Jdaddy0007 it looks like the ElvUI guys have been making some changes with their Aura Highlight. I'm going to look more into this tomorrow and see how difficult it will be to fix (seems like the author might not be maintaining anymore?).

Have you had a chance to test which version of ElvUI does work? If I can narrow down when the break occurred then looking at the code diff will really help narrow down a solution. I'm thinking that the ElvUI data tables are structured slightly differently now causing that null header variable.

Also might be worth checking exactly what the ElvUI guys have been up to with their Aura Highlight changes. This addon might become unnecessary if they add the right features.

[Jdaddy0007]

@arbalzer Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. This feature was so ubiquitously needed that they built it into the base ElvUI.

I will close this thread shortly.

[arbalzer]

@Jdaddy0007 I think I might still try to fix it. Right now it doesn't look like the default Aura Highlight doesn't give an option for a fade threshold which was a big part of this addon for me. Also it seems like the fix is actually pretty simple, I think the problem is just with the new version of ElvUI changing the names of the raid groups. It was just Raid/Raid40 and now it is Raid1/Raid2/Raid3.

Alternatively, I may just rebuild or build a new smaller addon that just hooks into the ElvUI Aura Highlight feature and adds the fade threshold capability and maybe the capability to select which frames, I personally only like Buff Highlight in Raid not Party.

@arbalzer Would love if you could update it to work with Elvui again, the fade treshold is a feature I'm sorely missing for my raid frames at the moment :)

[Vekkt]

I merged the changes, and it' live on tukui's website. Let me know if everything works correctly (I do not have access to the game). Thanks @arbalzer for the work 👍

[Jdaddy0007]

Thank you all!

[Zaphara]

Thanks :)

@Vekkt On a side note, it seems it works with class health colours now? Everything is class coloured, but buffhighlight still works (class-coloured teammates will get the green buff aura). If that is intended, can the warning message when logging in (that tells you to disable class colours) be removed?
