Rematch 5.0

[Kyroskrane]

I have an old filter that was created in 4.x and worked fine in that version. The code for it is:

Code: Select all

-- Pets you can own max 1 of
-- Written by KyrosKrane Sylvanblade
-- Based on the default Pets Without Rares script

if not uniques then
    uniques = {}
    for speciesID in AllSpeciesIDs() do
        if select(10, C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoBySpeciesID(speciesID)) then
            uniques[speciesID] = true
        end
    end
end

if canBattle and uniques[speciesID] then
    return true
end

When I try the code above in 5.0, I get a lua error:

Code: Select all

Line 8: Usage: GetPetInfoBySpeciesID(speciesID)

This suggests that somehow, speciesID is nil or invalid. I also tested changing line 8 to:

Code: Select all

        if speciesID and select(10, C_PetJournal.GetPetInfoBySpeciesID(speciesID)) then

But that gave the same error message, suggesting that AllSpeciesIDs() is returning some non-nil value that is not a speciesID. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance!

But that gave the same error message, suggesting that AllSpeciesIDs() is returning some non-nil value that is not a speciesID. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for bringing this up. This is a bug. It was actually returning the whole table of all species for each species. It will be fixed in update going up tonight but if you're comfortable editing it, line 109 in roster/roster.lua, change this:

Code: Select all

tinsert(allSpecies,speciesPetIDs)

to this:

Code: Select all

tinsert(allSpecies,speciesID)

Also, if you'd like to filter pets with the unique flag set, you can use petInfo:

Code: Select all

return petInfo.canBattle and petInfo.isUnique

or maxCount

Code: Select all

return petInfo.canBattle and petInfo.maxCount==1

There's a lot of details about pets you can get from petInfo. The list is in info/petInfo.lua:

Thanks for the confirmation on the bug!

Also, if you'd like to filter pets with the unique flag set, you can use petInfo:
or maxCount

I didn't know about petInfo - I'm guessing it's new in 5.0? When I originally wrote my filter, I just looked at what the scripts for the existing (I assume default) filters did, copy/pasted, and tweaked a little. I can update my filter to work with that. Thanks again!

Update posted to wowinterface and curse tonight addresses most issues I've gotten here and elsewhere:

11/11/2023 version 5.0.1

• Added right-click menu to abilities to 'Find Pets With This Ability' to search for all pets that share the ability
• Added Toolbar Option 'Always Use Pet Satchel' to always use the pet satchel button to cycle through less-frequently used toolbar buttons rather than always showing all toolbar buttons
• Level bubbles in all except compact lists are now separated into textures and fontstrings to use actual font rendering
• Added pet menu option "Start Leveling" to add a pet to the top of the leveling queue rather than the end
• When clicking the alert toast or link for pet, it will now search for the pet again
• Added Breed Options 'Hide Breed In Lists' and 'Hide Breed In Pet Slots' to hide breeds displayed in lists and pet slots
• Increased the speed of exporting many teams and pet lists
• Fixed an issue where Interact Options 'On Mouseover' and 'On Soft Interact' can fail to interact with a second target after targeting one target with a saved team while you mouseover or soft interacted with the second
• The team group 'Ungrouped Teams' can now be renamed (but it can't be deleted--this is a "system" group that needs to exist)
• Fix for AllSpeciesIDs iterator in script filters
• If you used Rematch 4 and 'Keep Notes On Screen' was checked, a one-time fix on next login will enable both 'Keep Notes On Screen' and 'Even When Escape Pressed'
• Fix for Miscellaneous Option 'Keep Companion' potentially re-enabling on next login/reload
• Added tooltips to Source and Type icons at the bottom of the collection summary dialog's bar charts
• Clicking an active script filter in the script filter menu will now clear the script filter
• When a single team is imported, pets and abilities for the team are displayed in the import dialog
• Localization template updated

It does not include a fix for pets falling in/out of an active filter criteria. (it's been mentioned specifically for script filters but this applies to all filters.) This one will take time to solve properly since Rematch 5 is optimized to not run filters (a computationally expensive task) unless needed and just slapping this into a PET_JOURNAL_LIST_UPDATE will make filters run much more often than needed.

Did you remove the jump-to-top/jump-to-bottom buttons, or is that a bug? (The ones that were below/above the scroll arrow buttons.)

[Mot]

Just noticed this while catching wild pets in Emerald Dream:

After a battle, when a hurted team pet gets replaced by a fresh one, the fresh one does not have the correct abilities set. Only when I click on the team (in the list) again, the abilities are adjusted to what is saved in the team.

[Gello]

The little buttons to go to top/bottom of lists is removedto use the new scrollbars with variable-height thumb. It may return later.

On the abilities, I assume you have Load Healthiest Pets checked in Team Options. I'll take a look.

[Kyroskrane]

I encountered an odd situation with Rematch 5.0.1. I have the option enabled to show the Rematch window when I target an NPC that has a saved team with a leveling pet, but only if the team is injured. Here are the options for interacting. (On a related note, didn't there used to be an option in this section to also show the window if you have a leveling team loaded, and the Safari Hat was not equipped? Did it get moved to the Toolbar section and integrated into the Safari Hat setting there? That location feels unintuitive.)



I targeted Erris in my garrison. The team loaded correctly, but the window popped up and the Safari Hat icon was flashing (you can see a bit of the glow around the icon in the screenshot below). You can see in the screenshot, the safari hat buff was already active. I verified that none of the loaded pets are injured.



When I expanded to the full window to get screenshots of the options, the Safari Hat icon stopped flashing and correctly gained the red "down" arrow.

[Gello]

Thanks for the screenshot of options. Sometimes combinations of options have different effects. I'll look into it.

The Safari Hat Reminder option has existed in Toolbar Options since 2016 when it was added. It works independently of any interact/targeting options (or should, anyway)

[Mutanis]

I got an lua error.

Code: Select all

Thanks for steps to reproduce. This will be fixed next update.

I've only seen this happen with that specific Erris. I don't have that Erris up again, so I can't retest it now. Is there some way for me to export my team or settings, so you can check the data at least? Or I could just zip up my entire lua file if you like.

Interesting. For testing purposes I've had a different Erris up for years (if you get the quest but never complete/abandon it, she never goes away). I think if it only happens for this one target, which is not up all the time, I'm going to review this one later since there's other issues to fix still and I can't realistically do anything until I can reproduce it. But let me know if it happens on a different target.

In the meantime I'll see about adding a way to export settings (importing settings may be nice too).

By sheer luck, the correct Erris is up in my garrison today. I played around a bit but wasn't able to reproduce the bug. Given that it happened last week now and isn't reproducible, I'm willing to write it off as post-patch weirdness that may have been silently fixed by Blizz, or triggered by some misbehaving addon or something.

[Paladance]

A few days ago someone on Discord said that some team strings from Xu-fu's can't be read (not a valid import) and identified the issue as colon in the name (Fight Night: X encounters from Legion).

The problem seems obvious because colon serves as a separator and thus requires an escape character, but this made me wonder how did it work before 5 in the first place.

Said user also noticed:

rematch.teamStrings:ImportGroup in the Rematch 5 code seems to take a semi-colon from the imported name and replace them to a colon in the saved name, unless I read it wrong. So seems like a colon in the name should go as a semicolon in the import string?

This comment seems to be about the same issue.

Now, of course, it would make more sense for us to return to lead NPC names as this is the preferred way of storing teams, would have to ask around if the NPC name can be extracted from links cuz there's no obvious entry for the end user
This, however, wouldn't help with the strings people have been storing for years.

[Gello]

this made me wonder how did it work before 5 in the first place.

In Rematch 4: [^\n]- gets the minimum number of characters that aren't a newline
In Rematch 5: [^:]+ gets the maximum number of characters that aren't a colon

It's going back to [^\n]- in next update.

The semicolon business is being dropped. It was added for new group exports (which exports properties now and didn't in Rematch 4 for tabs) and the convention was kept for teams without realizing it wouldn't work.

Last week I posted this:

After a battle, when a hurted team pet gets replaced by a fresh one, the fresh one does not have the correct abilities set. Only when I click on the team (in the list) again, the abilities are adjusted to what is saved in the team.

This is still true, but yesterday I found another bug which is probably the trigger for the messed up abilities:

To reproduce:

1. Have a team with one leveler slot, and have at least 2 sets of healthy carry (non-leveling) pets for that team.
2. Enable "Load Healthiest Pet" and "After Battles Or Heals Too".
3. In the leveler slot, put a species where you have already two lv25.
4. Do the battle.

After the battle, Rematch swaps in an uninjured set of carry pets. This is fine and is what "After Battles Or Heals Too" is supposed to do. But: It also replaces the injured leveler with one of your lv25 of the species.

Now, the presence of a lv25 at the position of the leveler slot seems to "invalidate" the team (since the team has a leveler slot, and a lv25 cannot go into a leveler slot). Thus, the now "teamless" pets regain the abilities they had before (off-team). Well, that's my theory

The problem with the swapped lv25 in the leveler slot seems to be in the `AssertHealthiestPet` function in loadTeam.lua, line 80:

For the second for loop in the function, I traced the variable values and got this:

Code: Select all

loadedPetID: BattlePet-0-0000074559C5
petInfo.idType: pet
loadedPetID: BattlePet-0-000009534611
petInfo.idType: pet
loadedPetID: BattlePet-0-00000B52AAED
petInfo.idType: pet

The third pair is slot 3, which was my leveler slot. The idType is "pet", since `loadedPetID` is derived from `GetLoadoutInfo` which always returns the pet GUID. With that, the `if petInfo.idType=="pet"` conditional (line 96) will always evaluate to true, even for the leveler in slot 3.

Now, when I change line 94 loadTeam.lua to…

Code: Select all

-- local loadedPetID = rematch.loadouts:GetLoadoutInfo(i)
local loadedPetID = team.pets[i]

…in order to get the "petId" from the team function (instead of `GetLoadoutInfo`), then I get the seemingly more useful values:

Code: Select all

loadedPetID: BattlePet-0-000007474549
petInfo.idType: pet
loadedPetID: BattlePet-0-00000B3F6EDE
petInfo.idType: pet
loadedPetID: 0
petInfo.idType: leveling

The leveler (slot 3) is now idType "leveling" (instead of "pet") and therefore is excluded from getting replaced by a "healthy" lv25.

Since I don't have a picture of the whole addon, this is certainly not the cleanest solution. But you get the idea.

[Gello]

Update just posted addresses more issues, including the one to fix colons in imports:

11/19/2023 version 5.0.2

• Added Release Pet and Cage Pet to right-click menu of pets in the queue if the pet can be released or caged
• Leveling Queue Option 'Automatically Level New Pets' -> 'Only Pets Without One at 25' will no longer add new pets to the queue if you have none at 25 but one already exists in the queue
• Saving a script filter will apply the filter
• While pet filters are active and the window is on screen, any change to pets will re-run filters to potentially add/drop pets that meet the filter criteria
• Leveling pets should no longer be replaced by their healthier level 25 versions when Load Healthiest Pets enabled
• Replacement pets swapped in from Load Healthiest Pets option should load the same abilities as the pet it's replacing
• Healthiest pets should no longer be swapped out for a less-healthy version when Load Healthiest Pets enabled
• Imported teams now support colons (:) in their name again. Note: Teams and groups exported since 5.0 may have a semicolon in place of a colon. This replacement will not happen anymore. Imports will work fine with the semicolon
• Fix for error when picking up a pet from the icon in the compact pet list
• In About Rematch section of options, all options can now be exported for troubleshooting purposes, or reset to their default values
• Localization template updated

This is still true, but yesterday I found another bug which is probably the trigger for the messed up abilities:

Yeah there were at least 3 separate issues with Load Healthiest Pets addressed in this update:

• It was replacing pets in the leveling queue with level 25 versions. This was fixed by checking if they're a leveling pet before finding a healther one.
• When bringing in healthier pets it was slotting the pet but not the abilities. This was fixed by also slotting the abilities.
• When a team with an injured pet (and a healthier alternative) was loaded multiple times in a row, the injured pet could swap back in because the healthier pet was in an exclusion list. This was fixed by adding an "allowPetID" to allow the healthier pet to stay. (It needs to stay in the exclusion list for other find functions--such as for a speciesID or another same-species injured pet)

Your solution is a good one and less heavy-handed than mine. (My solution means a pet in the queue will never be replaced by a healthier version even if they're saved directly without being loaded from the queue.)

There may be more problems with Load Healthiest Pets the way this option interacts with others. I never use this option or any auto load etc. options so they get minimal testing from me.

There's a button to export/reset options in the About Rematch section of options now. I was working on an import button too until it dawned on me it'd be super inviting to tinker with values (I would!) which could potentially break the addon so I dropped it. The alternative would be to use base64 or something to obfuscate values which I'm not a fan of. It will be back later when the addon is more stable.

[Mot]

Related to an old post of mine here, I made a little WeakAura that attaches to Rematch and shows the current state of the "Allow Any Version" setting (from Options > Team Options > Load Healthiest Pets):

Allow Any Version disabled:

Allow Any Version enabled:
 

allowany_enabled.png (110.52KiB)Viewed 105030 times

Clicking the Aura frame toggles the setting.

The Aura should be especially useful for people who do a lot of leveling battles with different teams and scripts, some of which require a specific breed and some of which do not. (The indicator should prevent you from wasting a fight because the wrong breeds are loaded, and the button makes it easier to switch the setting.)
