[about to release] Display Name Fix
The current issues with SavedVars are related to Zenimax breaking the GetDisplayName function. We managed to cobble together a nice fix/addon for that. It will replaces the buggy version with one that is almost 100% reliable (see details).
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info6...ayNameFix.html The thing is: This about the single most dangerous piece of code I wrote in some time. So I would rather have some more people look at it before adding it to a category minion considers and advertising it on the main forum. Here is the code. Manifest/DisplayNameFix.txt: Code:
## Title: Display Name Fix ## APIVersion: 100007 ## OptionalDependsOn: BugEater DisplayNameFix_Constants.lua DisplayNameFix.lua Lua Code:
And the main course, DisplayNameFix.lua: Lua Code:
Some tests with an extra use of "d" showed that the replaced functions seems to be only called twice after being out in place (one of them is for the saved var system). If your addons needs the proper DisplayName before the onloaded event, you have to add this one as (optional) dependency. If you only need the name in the loaded event or later (like for accessing saved vars), you have to do nothing. If nobody finds any mistake I propably put it live and advertise it on Sunday or Monday. |

The way you setup your Addon, you don't have to worry too much.
If a user uses your addon ,he has been warned that his SavedVars should be backup'ed. For People with Multiple Accounts it might actually be counter productive to use it,since at the moment all Characters of multiple accounts will be stored in the same space. Once it's patched, that won't work anymore, so they will not see all their characters on multiple accounts in the same Addon anymore |

And I just threw it out to the public:
