How Many Macros?!

[shelaghg]

I've started to get lots of errors from Zygor today. This is a fairly typical example:

Message: Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ActionBar.lua:2 97: CreateMacro() failed, already have 120 macros
Time: Sun Nov 22 19:25:36 2020
Count: 1
Stack: Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ActionBar.lua:2 97: CreateMacro() failed, already have 120 macros
[string "@Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ZygorGuidesVi ewer.lua"]:505: in function `Startup_LoadGuides_Threaded'
[string "@Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ZygorGuidesVi ewer.lua"]:762: in function <...rface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ZygorGuidesView er.lua:669>

Locals: <none>

I definitely don't have 120 macros! I'm not sure why it thinks I do.

Try doing a full guide reset.

1. exit WoW
2. go to the WoW/_retail_/Interface/Addons folder and delete the ZygorGuidesViewer folder
3. go to the WoW/_retail_/WTF/Account/<your account name here>/SavedVariables folder and delete the Zygor files in there
4. run the desktop client and install a fresh copy of the guides
5. go back in game to test and let me know if that fixed it

That hasn't fixed it On logging back in, I got the following:

Message: Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ActionBar.lua:2 97: CreateMacro() failed, already have 120 macros
Time: Sun Nov 22 19:44:56 2020
Count: 1
Stack: Interface\AddOns\ZygorGuidesViewer\ActionBar.lua:2 97: CreateMacro() failed, already have 120 macros

[string "@Interface\AddOns\DataStore\libs\AceTimer-3.0\AceTimer-3.0.lua"]:57: in function <...\AddOns\DataStore\libs\AceTimer-3.0\AceTimer-3.0.lua:50>

Locals: <none>

It only seems to be happening on one character. I've just logged in on a different character, and all is fine. On this one priest every time I do anything, I get the error popping up, which is annoying. I have used all the character-specific macro slots, but that's been the case for ages. The only thing I did this afternoon was install an addon called Grid2, but the the druid I logged in on to check zygor out, is also using it, so I think that's a coincidence.

Try disabling all other addons on that 1 toon to see if you get the error when only Zygor is running.

[shelaghg]

I disabled everything except Zygot, reloaded, and the first thing that popped up was the error

[shelaghg]

I've deleted a character-specific macro to free up a macro slot, and that seems to have fixed it. I don't understand why it just started today as I haven't created any new macros on that character in ages. All those slots have been full for a very long time. What does '120 macros' refer to? there are 18 character-specific slots, so not that! I had already tried deleting some global macros, which didn't make any difference at all.

[ZG Support 1]

Do you maybe have 120 total with global and character macros?

[shelaghg]

It's possible. I have a lot of alts, and a fair few of them are healers - I usually use mouseover macros for healing. If the total number across all chars was the problem though why did it only affect one character, and why didn't deleting a global macro solve it? But I think it's time to have a macro spring glean - it will give me something to do before SL lands

[ZG Support 1]

Have you thought about using something like Healbot or VuhDoo for your healers? I find those to be very helpful for mouse-over healing, cleansing, buffing, etc.

[shelaghg]

It's been a while since I tried them, but I didn't like them very much I use decursive for cleansing, now that SmartDebuff is dead.
