    "You aren't in a party" when looting

    For some reason, that message keeps popping up from time to time when I loot things, when solo, or when in a group.

    Any idea what's causing it?

    Addon list:

    From my understanding it is from the old chat channels.
    That there was a need for separate raid and party channels, when now we have just /instance which covers both when inside an instance.
    I expect there is an attempt to output to that channel, and so something we could search for.
    I just don't know what that is.

    If you wouldn't mind installing Notepad++, use its Find in Files feature to look for SendChatMessage.*PARTY or SendAddonMessage.*PARTY in the AddOns folder. Here's a screenshot of the search window. One of the addons that appear in the results may be doing this.

    Been seeing that issue myself, and those searches came up with DBM, BigWigs and Paste.

    It seems that WeakAuras, Paste, BigWigs and DBM have those strings in them.

    This problem has bothered me for years, quite literally. I pray to all gods you can fix this some how in this thread lol!

    Sounds like you have an old ace2 addon installed.

    I don't have any "old" addons, everything I've got installed is from 2016 or newer.

    Trying it out in LFR, the message changes to "You aren't in a raid".

    I tried completely disabling all four of those addons (BigWigs, DBM, Paste, WeakAuras) and I still get the message when looting.

    It only seems to happen in groups, though.

    Went through and updated every single addon I've got, and the problem persists.

    Tried disabling AutoLootPlus, that didn't fix it either.

    AutoBar is an ancient Ace2 addon, it loads AceEvent-2.0 and thus tries to send an addon message when looting.

    The addon itself looks like it's been on life support for some time as the current maintainer appears to have decided to continue stitching it together instead of completely rewriting it. I would get rid of it.

    Huh, weird. It is AutoBar after all.

    Why the shit is an action bar addon sending messages to party

    I'll go ahead and tell the dev about it.

    AutoBar [+1] /libs/AceEvent-2.0/AceEvent-2.0.lua: 987
    Code:
    986	self:RegisterEvent("LOOT_OPENED", function()
    987		if GetNumGroupMembers() > 0 then SendAddonMessage("LOOT_OPENED", "", "RAID") end
    988	end)

    Every time you open loot, AceEvent-2.0, embedded in AutoBar, is sending a message to the raid addon channel. There is no raid addon channel in LFR or BGs. That explains the "not in raid" message, but not the party message, unless SendAddonMessage has some sort of smart coding that defaults to PARTY if IsInRaid() is false, which would account for party and solo.

    You should be able to fix the issue in this thread by going into your addons folder, opening AceEvent-2.0.lua found in AutoBar/libs/AceEvent-2.0, scrolling to the bottom, and deleting the three lines you see above.

    Yep, that seems to have fixed it. Removed those lines, and the message no longer pops up. Doesn't seem to have adversely affected the addon.

    Hi.

    Here's my results. I'm having the same problem and it only happens when I am in an instance, I believe. I had to take a screenshot as notepad++ wouldn't let me copy over the directory info in the search results, just the code. I'd love to know what is causing this. It's very annoying. I think mmo champ resizes images, so right click > open in new tab to view full size version.

    making a hook on the function call might help, it should print the prefix the addon is using:
    /run hooksecurefunc("SendAddonMessage", function(...) local a=select(1, ...); print(a); end);
    if you don't catch, try with the chat message:
    /run hooksecurefunc("SendChatMessage", function(...) local a=select(1, ...); print(a); end);

    All I get is LOOT_OPENED and ZPerlVersion showing up in chat.

    The problem is you included "PARTY" in the search string for some reason. LOOT_OPENED is the old Ace2 message, so you have the exact same issue as the OP. You just need to find the addon using it. Do a search for SendAddonMessage and an Ace2 library should show up.

    It looks like it's an old version of Xloot that I refuse to update because the new version is a flaming pile of dogshit.

    This is the code, how do I fix it?

    if GetRealNumRaidMembers() > 0 or GetRealNumPartyMembers() > 0 then SendAddonMessage("LOOT_OPENED", "", "RAID") end
