About DebugImp

Meet the Debug Imp! A new and improved debugging window.

What's New

LOTS!!!

Added search functions, opens the copy window with the results of the search, uses any regular lua pattern to search the log
Toolbox window with, memory usage details, counters for debug, warning and errors that have occured in the log, mouse coordinates, mouseover window.
All existing debug window buttons are now in the Menu of the toolbox
Toolbox can be shown and used without the debug window showing
Opening the debug window will automatically show the toolbox
External addons can add their own context menu items to the Addons menu via a simple function
Can now control the alpha of the toolbox and the debug window
Trimmed down the borders of the debug window to give you more textlog real estate

Features

Advanced logging options to control the log size, auto clearing of the log and deleting of the logfiles
Copy button that will open a window with a text edit box containing the last 25 entries in your log for easy cut and paste to other locations, like a forum page, comment box, or irc, also with Prev and Next buttons so you can find just the entry you wanted to copy
Reports memory usage details in the toolbox window
If you disable any of the filter entries in options window they are never recorded, so no more chasing the entry you want off the screen because the log is getting filled with entries you don't want to see or care about
When you choose to enable display of any filter entries in the option window they will only show from that point on, no more scrolling up 10 pages of function entries you don't care about to find that error, no more missing that new error because you had to turn off your log to keep the message you wanted on screen
Also catches messages from last shutdown sequence or reloadui
Able to search the debug log with a standard lua pattern

Other Addons

If you've written a tool for other authors and want to access your addon from the debug window simply add the following lines to create a menu item just for you in the Addons menu of the toolbox

DebugImpWindow.CreateAddonMenu(label, func)

label should be a wstring containing the text to display in the menu, keep it short

func is the function you wish to be called when your menu item is clicked

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

fix for search function, that was broken by some patch not long ago:
[line 202] DialogManager.MakeTextEntryDialog( dialogText, L"", ExecuteSearch )
change to
DialogManager.MakeTextEntryDialog( L"DebugImp search", dialogText, L"", ExecuteSearch )

A fix for the useless error for logs. Log names now have to be wstrings so:
local impLogfile = "logs/ImpDebug.log" (Line 45)
should be
local impLogfile = L"logs/ImpDebug.log"

Version 0.3.5 now includes a search function for the log, and hopefully a fix for Onni_x's issue with missing log entries

I sent you a PM some time ago about the log entries-bug. Hope you have read it?

In v0.3.4 the logging start only after DebugImp is initialized so all errors before that point are lost. This happens only with /uireload.

I've tried to reproduce what your describing and it all works fine, no lost messages. The only thing that might be happening is your looking at the wrong debug window.
As of 0.3.4 the DebugImp window no longer has any buttons of its own, they've all been moved to the toolbox, so if your window has buttons at the bottom and the title bar says "UI Debugging Window" your seeing the original debug window and not DebugImp, and in there yes messages will vanish to save on processing but they've all been copied to the actual DebugImp window and that's the one you should be looking at

I have hopefully found a reason for this behavior now. And yes I do see the new DebugImp-window. When DebugImp is initialized only entries (before that point) equal to "maxEntries" is processed. Propably due to the fact how DebugImp limits the default UiLog entry limits? Here's how you should be able to reproduce this.

1. Start Warhammer
2. Change maxEntries to 100
3. Reloadui
4. Reloadui (twice because the change wont have an effect for the initialization before that)
5. You should now see a lot less log entries displayed than before.

Appears not to work on the EU client (german server, lang set to english). Cannot feature any error lines since it also knocks out the default debugging. Anyway, looks very promising, hope to see it at work.

Please try the new version 0.3.2 which has been significantly refactored.
Most likely cause is some string or log name is different in the EU version.
You can comment out lines 348-350 of DebugImp.lua to leave the old debug window as is, and you can always access it from the "Customize Interface" window. Click "UI Mods / Addons" -> "Manage" -> "Debug Log" See if anything shows up then

Excellent work - logging shutdown/startup messages and saving between sessions is very useful.

Unfortunately, the scroll handle seems to disappear after a reload:

Unfortunately thats a bug with the textlog display when your log has more then about 1200 lines, the scroll bar will vanish until you clear the log thats why the default is to clear log on reload. Scrolling with the mousewheel will still work and the slider is still there you just cant see it so clicking on the bar will also move the log up and down

Thx!
Very usefull addon for debugging.
What do you think about to add search by text fragment (or pattern)?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Bloodwalker said

A search function could be possible certainly, I'll look into the code and windows it'll need

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Onni_x said

What if instead or with the ability to add own buttons just add bunch of buttons that you could attach to a lua command? That way you could easily open any addon or command related to your current project.

Bloodwalker said

WH already has that covered with the macros, you can put in any /script command you like

True and I do have a hotbar dedicated to debug. Would be nice to have an "extra-debug-hotbar" since it's space taken away from the actual playing.

The last release included new advanced options to control clearing and deleting the log and logfile.
To make DebugImp work I created a new textlog and only use the default debug log to grab the information you need to see, everything else is shrunk and hidden to minimize any pointless processing and extra resource, at the moment it still looks mostly identical to the default debug log but I have a few more changes in mind to improve useability and I'll be providing a function so that any other addon will be able to have their own button attached to the debug imp window without fighting for space and stepping all over each other. The keyword filter is definately something I'll look at, with a potiential for hundreds of log entries per second, and potentially having dozens of patterns and matching each pattern to each line may cause problems in the long run.

Sounds excellent.

Thank you for this Very useful tool. :)

Since your addon replaces the default debug-window, it can also interfere with any other addons dependent on that default window. Any chance to get this addon to co-exist or merged with the default one in the future?

Any hope for you to add custom filter for the debug log? Would be nice to filter out things with just a keywords that could be handled via command line.
