Just FYI, X4D chat is suppressing friend login/logout notifications even when the setting to do so is turned off. I've downloaded the latest version of the addon, but am still having this issue.

Root cause was ESO change the event signature, so the parameters were off by one (add-on was checking wrong values because ZO inserted a new value in the middle of the parameter list.)

For my fellow software engineers, add-on authors, or anyone else that likes nerdy stuff.. this is one of those moments I feel the need to share this little gem:

YouTube: Joshua Bloch - How to Design a Good API, and why it matters.

Enjoy!

German client if this helps.

Fix is in the pipeline, I will have a new package going out later today. I've been banging on some new stuff for a little over a week and I'm almost done and ready to release.

Thanks!

v1.24 released!

Well, I'm back in the game.

This release brings a number of long overdue updates, bug fixes and a few more features requested by users here in the comments. I have spent a few days over the last week reviewing API updates (wow! so much!), fixing and testing addon code, and reviewing PM, user-submitted patches, and comments.

It seems many users were unaware that I had a family medical emergency last year and 100% of my attention went into making sure my life and family were correct. I sincerely apologize for the downtime, but be assured the reason was not unwarranted. I did try and communicate what was happening and submitted all of my addon work to Github for someone else to pick up -- unfortunately I don't believe users on ESOUI read author portals (hell, they are a pain to find even as an author) and it also seems none of my addons were updatable by users.

The Github repo is still live and available to everyone, and I've made sure that the addons here on ESOUI can be updated by third parties (patches, additional files, etc.) At least this way if I get hit by a bus tomorrow you guys have the access you need to keep the ball rolling until someone else takes over.

A number of you took a crack at code fixes during my downtime, stellar! If you are interested please get in touch with me and I'll set you up as a team member on ESOUI and get you some more direct contact info (email) as well as write access on Github. At least this way if you're taking a crack at code again, well, I'll be more available than ESOUI provides for you, and you will be able to make more official updates than before.

Enjoy!

Garkin, does your copy of the X4DChat fixes include the change to the OnFriendPlayerStatusChanged event handler? I've been handing out links to my own fixed copy of this mod, but it would be preferable to have a single source with all required fixes in it at once.

Also, is there -any- way to get the admins here to update the official copy (so Minion users can download), or are we stuck because the mod author has to do it?

The function is HEX2DEC and the error is from line 372 in your X4D_Chat.lua "operator + is not supported for number + nil"

Here's a screenshot of the traceback:

This seems like an error with the color parsing. The only value that could be nil in this HEX2DEC function is the variable "color" that gets set by X4D_Bank in the InvokeCallbackSafe function with bankSlotInfo.ItemColor. Apparently that comes from the GetItemLink() API. There seems to be lots of bounds checking to get rid of nil colors; that's all getting ignored.

So without being familiar with Lua, the prior API, or the new API I think that's about all I can offer for help. Maybe you'll know what's wrong. Thanks man!
This error message is shown because of changes to itemlinks. As I do not use X4D_Bank addon, I did't update it.

EDIT:
As it was really easy to fix, updated version is in my folder on Firedrive. Link is a few posts below or on my author portal.

In their infinite wisdom, ZOS appears to have changed the signature for this function in a way that isn't backward compatible. Per a Garkin post on changes:

Event handler for EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED has a new argument "characterName":
Live: EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED (displayName, oldStatus, newStatus)
PTS: EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED (displayName, characterName, oldStatus, newStatus)

So my initial quick and dirty fix isn't actually the "best" one. It still looks really easy to implement, though.
You are right, I forgot to update event handlers. I can't test it as my RL friends has stopped playing and there is not much other people in my friendlist.
I can't upload updated version here as an optional patch because this addon has this option disabled. So I will share changed code in X4D_Chat.lua or if you want, you can download updated version from my folder on Firedrive, where I have updated even X4D_XP and X4D_Loot addons.
For anyone else who doesn't mind editing text files, you can fix this by changing the line that says:

local function OnFriendPlayerStatusChanged(displayName, oldStatus, newStatus)

with

local function OnFriendPlayerStatusChanged(displayName, characterName, oldStatus, newStatus)
