Hello!

Is it possible to exclude warlock pets from the 'pet' class?
Is it possible to 'bucket' all raid members by class or group number?

The mod I wrote uses RosterLib but has to create a copy of the roster categorized by class, basically recreating it on every update.

RosterLib and Banzai (afaik the only addon/library that actually stores info in the roster tables) need to be changed so that they work similarly to how SEEA works now.

Storing additional/custom per-unit data would be handled through RL:SetAttribute(unitName, attributeName, value) and RL:SetUnitAttribute(unitid, attributeName, value) with the corresponding Get functions.

Using Rosger-2.1 how can I tell the difference when a unit leaves the raid or when a unit merely dc's?

UnitIsConnected(unitid)

Is there a reason why RosterLib_UnitChanged gets triggered twice for every unit when you leave or join a group?

Here's my function:

function PallyPower:RosterLib_UnitChanged(unitid, name, class, subgroup, rank, oldname, oldunitid, oldclass, oldsubgroup, oldrank)
if not name then
self:Debug("UnitLeft", unitid, name, class, subgroup, rank, oldname, oldunitid, oldclass, oldsubgroup, oldrank)
elseif not oldname then
self:Debug("UnitJoined", unitid, name, class, subgroup, rank, oldname, oldunitid, oldclass, oldsubgroup, oldrank)
else
--nothing
end
end

When someone invites me into a group:

>Name has invited you to join a group
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:47:46.968] UnitJoined party1 Name PALADIN 1 0 nil nil nil nil nil
>Dungeon difficulty set to Heroic
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:47:46.125] UnitJoined party1 Name PALADIN 1 0 nil nil nil nil nil

> joining Warsong BG
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:48:41.687] UnitLeft nil nil nil nil nil Name PALADIN 1 0
> Looting changed to free-for-all.
>You have joined a raid group.
>Dungeon difficulty set to Normal
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:48:41.733] UnitLeft nil nil nil nil nil Name PALADIN 1 0
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:48:42. 93] UnitJoined Name2 ROGUE 2 2 nil nil nil nil nil
(DEBUG) PallyPower:[17:48:42.147] UnitJoined Name2 ROGUE 2 2 nil nil nil nil nil

and so on

I found a really extreme example while debugging my addon:

If you leave alterac valley as the last person Roster_UnitChanged can fire up to 820 times just from the leaving persons.

the first person leaves, up to 39 people get a new raid id .. so for everybody the event is triggerd that they get a new raid id ( old raid40 -> new raid39, old raid39 -> new raid38 ) ..

for every call I have to do some comparisions in my addon to find out why the heck the event fired and have to compare everything to find out what happened.. I can't believe this is good if many addons use roster if every addon has to do it itself.

Well, if the unitid changes, RosterLib should be telling you. If you'd like to suggest non-backwards-compatible changes, there's Roster-2.2 thread over here.

Any word on a fix for these duplicate triggers yet? I updated to 2.1 as 2.0 is being removed but now I get duplicate events every time. I would rather stick with 2.0 if that is the case. Thx

Question: If you use code such as this:

for pname, data in pairs(roster) do
		if data.class ~= L["pet"] then

On a German client will you get back HUNTER or JAGER from data.class?

Thanks

That just means some other mod is using the library wrong.
