@AllInOneMighty Been using this addon for a long... long... looooong time. Have been thrilled to see it supported again! Thank you thank you!

in MOP Classic the following Error appears when changing loot system:

2x AceLocale-3.0-6: Elephant: Missing entry for 'STRING_LOOT_METHOD__2'

it seems that with the latest changes with C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod the Return Value is no longer a String, its a number now: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/API_C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod

so i added

L['STRING_LOOT_METHOD__0'] = ERR_SET_LOOT_FREEFORALL

L['STRING_LOOT_METHOD__3'] = ERR_SET_LOOT_GROUP

L['STRING_LOOT_METHOD__2'] = ERR_SET_LOOT_MASTER

L['STRING_LOOT_METHOD__4'] = ERR_SET_LOOT_NBG

L['STRING_LOOT_METHOD__1'] = ERR_SET_LOOT_ROUNDROBIN

to the Locale-deDE.lua for German localization, to get rid of the error.

In reply to AllInOneMighty: you are welcome, glad that i could help!

I have a very odd problem. When I go back to look at my chat logs in Elephant window, I see the chats, but the player listed is not the right person. It's someone on my friend list, but a different friend, not the person I was chatting with .

Not sure if this makes sense. Basically, I have a chat with battle.net tag friend A. Later on, I open Elephant window to read the chat, and see all the conversations, but friend A is now replaced with friend B.

Any idea what happened?

In reply to AllInOneMighty: Got it! Thank you!

As of 11.2.7 there's an outdated API call for: GetLootMethod() but this was moved into the C_PartyInfo namespace and returns an enum instead of string tokens. I replaced the line in Initialize.lua:

`Elephant.volatileConfiguration.lootmethod = GetLootMethod()`

With:

`Elephant.volatileConfiguration.lootmethod = Elephant_GetLootMethodCompat()`

And made a simple helper function:

```

local function Elephant_GetLootMethodCompat()

if C_PartyInfo and C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod then

local methodEnum = C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod()

local map = {

[Enum.LootMethod.Freeforall] = "freeforall",

[Enum.LootMethod.Roundrobin] = "roundrobin",

[Enum.LootMethod.Masterlooter] = "master",

[Enum.LootMethod.Group] = "group",

[Enum.LootMethod.Needbeforegreed] = "needbeforegreed",

[Enum.LootMethod.Personal] = "personalloot",

}

return map[methodEnum]

elseif _G.GetLootMethod then

return _G.GetLootMethod()

end

return nil

end

```

This seemed to fix it on my side, but I haven't done much testing yet. I don't know Elephant's code space too well, so please code review this and make sure I didn't leave anything out! Great addon!

In reply to AllInOneMighty: Thanks so much!

Does the Chat logs are stored in a file and i can backup them for later?

I mean like having a history weeks or month ago to look what someone typed in raid chat or whisper while raiding.

Worth noting that the mod is still functioning at the moment, its minimap icon is just not there. If you go into the options and turn on the "Show Chat Button" button, you can still access Elephant without doing any file poking or anything like that.

I'm sure the mod authors are aware and working on getting the fix posted, but for anyone who wants the fix now and isn't afraid to poke at files, this is how you fix the error with 11.2.

In the Initialize.lua file, change line 48 to be:

Elephant.volatileConfiguration.lootmethod = C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod()

In reply to jaedness: also in Event.lua change line 185 to:

local method, masterloot_party, masterloot_raid = C_PartyInfo.GetLootMethod()

Does this somehow log messages that occur while you're offline, including guild, party, raid, etc?
