/zygor quiet

[tigereye32f]

With the most recent update, anytime I use the "sell grays" button with more than 5 gray items in my bags I get the message "Zygor Guides Viewer: 5 messages under 5 seconds, silencing for 30 seconds. Use /zygor quiet to silence permanently."

I don't know about anyone else but I WANT to see the items sold or, at the very least, the total of all gray items sold... Obviously there's a way to turn off all notifications but I can't find a way to make it show me all the lines...

Chat messages are limited like that to prevent the addon from spamming chat. The limit applies to all chat messages.

[tigereye32f]

It was never limited before the new versions... Is there any way to turn it off or increase the limit? It's kind of stupid to continually spam me with a message saying you're silencing the addon so as not to spam me...

[ZG Support 1]

With WoD and the new version came a lot of bugs that were spamming the chat window. This was put in as a stop-gap measure to keep all of those error messages out of the chat window. Right now there is no way to change it other than the /zygor quiet mode.

[tigereye32f]

"stop-gap measure"... "Right now"...

Does that mean you're going to put it back the way it was when you resolve the error message issue? Or at the very least add functionality, for those of us that want it, to see all of the messages?

I do not know the future plans for this particular aspect of the guide viewer.

I'm not sure I understand why this can't be toggled off, or have a setting in the UI to turn it off. I was coming here to ask about this exact same thing.

The problem is that you can't see how much TOTAL you made from selling grays as it is right now. If you really have to insist on forcing us to have a feature that we can't disable, then how about changing how "sell grays" work. Perhaps have a setting where you only get the TOTAL amount of gold acquired from selling your gray items.

Honestly, I don't see why there is a resistance to adding an ability to disable this "squelching" feature. Even if the devs don't want to add it to the UI, it'd be nice if there was a manual setting to the settings file we could do.

[ZG Support 1]

We are going to see about making this limitation only apply to the different error messages so that the useful things like when you sell greys should still show them all.

For the time being, if you want to remove the "squelch" you can manually delete the code from the .lua file... Unfortunately, this will have to be done every time there is a guide update (until if/when they make the fix described above)...

Go to your World of Warcraft folder
Open the "interface" folder
Open the "addons" folder
Open the "ZygorGuidesViewer" folder
Open the "ZygorGuidesViewer.lua" file

Hit ctrl+f and search for the variable: spamthrot
Scroll down a few lines and delete the following section of code:

if not ZGV.DEV and not ZGV.db.profile.debug and not force then -- spam throttle on clients only
if s==spamthrot_last then
if not spamthrot_last_repeated then
ChatFrame1:AddMessage(L['name']..": (last message repeats)")
spamthrot_last_repeated=true
end
return
end

spamthrot_last=s

local time = time()
if time<spamthrot_squelch_time then return end
spamthrot_last=s

for i=1,spamthrot_msgs-1 do spamthrot_times[i]=spamthrot_times[i+1] end
spamthrot_times[spamthrot_msgs]=time
if spamthrot_times[5]-spamthrot_times[1]<spamthrot_sec then
ChatFrame1:AddMessage(L['name']..": "..tostring(s)) -- last one in
ChatFrame1:AddMessage(L['name']..": "..("%d messages under %d seconds, silencing for %d seconds. Use |cffffee00/zygor quiet|r to silence permanently."):format(spamthrot_msgs,spamthrot_sec ,spamthrot_squelch))
spamthrot_squelch_time=time+spamthrot_squelch
return
end
end


Save the file and enter the game... The guide will now show all chat messages

Yep, this is annoying. I really do want to at least see the total of sold Junk.

Thanks for the code fix, tiger.

Edit: turned off this Zygor function and installed SellJunk (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/sell-junk).

Here we are more than 3 years later and this is still an issue, "zygor quiet" DOESNT work and EVERY freaking patch I have to go in and take this part of code out... So much for a stopgap

[ZG Support 1]

What exactly is happening with the messages that makes you say that the squelching isn't working?

[bamse]

typed
"/zygor quiet"

responce
/zygor : 'quiet' - unknown argument


without taking section out of code and selling greys it says

5 messages under 5 seconds, silencing for 30 seconds
use /zygor quiet to silence permanently.


I take section out of code poof it tells me what I've sold how much I made and doesn't give me grief over how many lines it took to tell me this. What is grief is having to re-patch after every upgrade every few days.

[bamse]

To clarify, since I've received no reply in 2 days, /zygor quiet still isn't working and hasn't in a very long while. Is it going to be fixed or no?

[ZG Support 1]

One of our devs is checking into this to see why it's happening.

Edit: Ok, seems like a change was made to the command to change it over to "/zygor noisy" but it was forgotten to change the descriptions around. That should all be fixed in the next update.
