Milkmans Simple Blacklist

Milkmans Simple Blacklist, v1.5.6

This update is basically a big stability and quality of life patch, plus export and import finally working the way you wanted.

UI and Tabs

• Tips tab is no longer empty

  • Fixed the layout bug that was making the Tips page show blank.

• “Friendly” tab was renamed to “Blacklisted”

  • This list is meant for players on your side you want to avoid or note, not “friends.”

• Tips text was cleaned up so it displays correctly in Classic:

  • Removed characters that showed up as weird boxes.

  • Updated the keybind instructions to the correct Classic menu path:

    • Esc, Options, Keybindings, Other, “Add mouseover enemy to blacklist”

Export and Import (big one)

• Export and Import now use a real multiline window (not the broken StaticPopup single line behavior).

• Export creates a single shareable string format:

  • MSB||friendly||name:note;name2:note2

  • MSB||enemy||name:note;name2:note2

• Important Classic fix:

  • WoW edit boxes treat | as special, so export shows double pipes || on purpose.

  • Import automatically converts || back into | so the parser reads it correctly.

• Import behavior matches your rules:

  • Adds only missing names

  • Skips duplicates automatically

  • Does not overwrite existing notes

  • Does not delete anything

  • Does not touch the other list

  • Prints a summary:

    • MSB: Imported X entries, skipped Y duplicates.

Crash and Error Fixes

This update also fixes a bunch of Lua errors you were getting during the last 20 days of testing:

• Fixed multiple “<eof> expected near end” issues from extra or missing end blocks.

• Fixed missing StaticPopup dialog errors from old Export and Import logic.

• Fixed Classic UI differences like EditBox field names and missing methods.

• Fixed bad string handling issues that caused “unfinished string near "” crashes.

• Fixed stray duplicated code that got appended to the end of the Lua file and caused parsing failures.

• Made import parsing more tolerant and safer, then finalized it so it works reliably every time.

Minimap Button

• Minimap button is back

• It’s always on, no toggle.

• Click opens or closes the MSB window.

• It’s draggable around the minimap and saves its angle.

• It now initializes reliably by retrying:

  • Runs on addon load and login, then retries after short delays so it doesn’t fail silently.
