Posted Jan 4, 2019HI!
1st of all great add-on, I was so glad to see it back and functioning again. But Im having the exact same problem as Gamonback below. I followed your directions and changed the values in the LUA and that didn't make any difference.
It would be great if I didn't have to go set these every time I log in to my character. Its like there needs to be a save value function or something, maybe the first time you open it or an option to go in and set them then save them. I don't know I dont program, I'm just a lolely user of addons.
Thanks for the great work though.

The saving of these settings happens automatically and they become available to the addon automatically, so there isn't anything different I can do to control how or when things are saved :(
I can make it easier and at least give you guys a macro for adjusting the settings, but I'd really like to figure out what is causing this to happen. There are a few known issues, this one for example.

Posted Dec 27, 2018Hi,
Every time I restart the WoW, the addon resets all its settings back to the default (and the default stagger % is awful).
Once I'm in the game, I can change the settings and everything works as expected, but as soon as I re-log the changes I've made are gone and it's back to defaults.
How do I get these settings to persist across sessions?

Generally, the addon's settings will persist. Certain anti-virus software can cause this to happen see here. If you don't feel like hunting down the cause (which most likely is not a bug with the addon), then you could change the defaults for the addon directly in the file.
1. Open the "AddOns" directory where the addons are kept
2. Open the directory "MonkStaggerMeter"
3. Open the file Frame.lua in a text editor like notepad
4. Go to line #23 where there is the "defaultConfig".
5. Change the values inside of the "levels" field (Light, Medium, Heavy) to the values you'd like to use as defaults (see below)
local defaultConfig = { opacity = 100, autoHide = true, movable = true, hideBorder = false, hideBackground = false, heavyWarn = true, levels = { Light=0, Medium=6, Heavy=11 } }-

Hi Gamonback,
This is unfortunate, but helpful information to have.
Since reinstalling didn't do anything, my guess is that there is an issue with where these settings get saved.
On my computer, I can find them here "D:\games\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\000000#\Darkspear\Rohnda\SavedVariables\MonkStaggerMeter.lua"
If you open this file in notepad, you'll see the saved values for the settings. Try closing the game first, deleting this file and the one with ".bak" and restarting. Let me know if anything looks weird and post the settings that were saved if you feel it'd be useful.

Posted Jan 5, 2019In reply to ManDruidPig:
spkStaggerConfig = {
["hideBorder"] = false,
["levels"] = {
["Light"] = 0,
["Medium"] = 0,
["Heavy"] = 0,
},
["movable"] = true,
["autoHide"] = true,
["opacity"] = 100,
["hideBackground"] = false,
["heavyWarn"] = false,
}
I deleted these files, then went back and tried modifying the settings and saving them. Restarted the game and it seems to be working now; new file below:
spkStaggerConfig = {
["hideBorder"] = false,
["levels"] = {
["Light"] = 0,
["Medium"] = 20.7477169036865,
["Heavy"] = 50.0957221984863,
},
["movable"] = true,
["autoHide"] = true,
["opacity"] = 100,
["hideBackground"] = false,
["heavyWarn"] = true,
}
Perhaps this previous saved variables file was preventing any changes from being updated somehow, and since the addon uses the saved values over default values, our previous attempt to directly change the default values didn't work.
*EDIT*: After playing for a while, the file reverted back to 0,0,0:
spkStaggerConfig = {
["hideBorder"] = false,
["levels"] = {
["Heavy"] = 0,
["Medium"] = 0,
["Light"] = 0,
},
["movable"] = true,
["autoHide"] = true,
["opacity"] = 100,
["hideBackground"] = false,
["heavyWarn"] = true,
}
Not sure why but something is causing this file to change after some time of playing.

It's also really weird that it would set things to "0", no idea what would cause this. I might just make a macro for you for the time being, so at least you can just press a button in one of your hotbars

Yea, the patch to 8.0 broke several critical components in the addon, needed time to fix it. I have just released a new version.
Happy Holidays!

Posted Jul 28, 2018Absolutely LOVE this add-on. Infact, this addon is probably a major reason I am switching mains to a BrM for BfA. With that, when can we expect an update? The meter currently isn't working to my knowledge. I have tried to build a make-shift Weak Aura, but not getting very far. Anyway.. Thank you for all your efforts. Looking forward to hearing back soon.

Posted Jan 28, 2018Love this addon! Just wanted to make you aware of a bug with the auto hide feature. If you have auto hide enabled and then go through a portal or a loading screen, auto hide gets turned off. It would be nice if it stayed hidden through portals and loading screens if possible.
