rochet2 / aio Goto Github PK

AIO.SavePosition is not working at all and probably never has.
The library the saving is using is being used completely wrong.

Should look into the docs of https://www.wowace.com/projects/libwindow-1-1 and figure out how it actually works, then correct the docs and implementation of AIO to reflect actual use.

If you enter the world and quickly get teleported away AIO never loads
And you are forced to relog

I'm used to using AIO and this is the first time I've had a problem with it.

Since I switched to Ubuntu 20.04 my windows don't display anymore.
So I checked on the addon was running via the /aio commands and yes apparently it is running.

I made the command /aio printio to get the information about my scripts and they are well sent but I have nothing displayed.

I installed the test frame to see if it comes from my scripts but not apparently it comes from somewhere else.

Several people have reported having issues and in the end the compression has been at fault.
I have now disabled compression by default. Compression is/was only used for the sent addon code. More important is having the obfuscation setting on which removes whitespace and other bloat from the code to make it much smaller.

If someone knows some simple compression algorithm or knows some lua 5.1 and 5.2 compatible pure lua compression algorithm do share :)
Would need to compress and decompress in pure lua.
For now it has been using TLibCompress (see readme) that seems to not work properly, possibly depending on platform or lua 5.2 and lua 5.1 differences.

Compression disabled in:
bc56f00

Seems the issue is the null characters produced by the compression algorithm.

Create all global functions
http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API

Need a way to access global variables on server side.
Possible implementation through a list of table keys:
func("A", "B", 5) = _G.A.B[5]

The 1.12.x client seems to be using some sort of 5.0 Lua subset (can't find the exact version).

Some language features in the client AIO addon are using lua 5.1 thus trigerring lua errors in the client.

So far :

• the # operator => easily fixed by replacing with string.len()
• varargs in function body => can't fix it yet

Server-side, I'm using cmangos-classic and I had to make some modifications to Eluna for it to work with the latest revision, but maybe it should be another issue. I managed to make it work, so I might be able to provide a pull request for that.

The last argument to SetScript should be optional

• Add hard message limits

Compress messages

• Add function table to client side as well or send used functions on UI init (possibly more inconvenience than convenience)
• Change format to being 2 character packets of hex, eliminating spaces and 3 character numbers
• Enhance table serialization

Make performance and string usage enhancements to networking

• Change byte val functions to more efficient

This change

For example, the created frame does not appear on the client. But the console does not have any error messages.
