StatusBars | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com

This mod is currently causing a fair bit of UI taint, and will probably stop working entirely when 2.4 comes out. However for those not interested in HUDs this is a pretty good none interactive status frame (none interactive being key - mouse is disabled on the frame so I can select targets through it, or pan the camera). It is no longer being updated.



I use Cooling and Debuff Filter above it to watch my important buffs and cooldowns. Get pretty good synergy out of all 3 being none interactive and occupying the same space, it cuts a lot of overhead. Does anyone know of any mod with similar functionality? Or something else as an alternative? It being none interactive (mouse disabled on the frame) is really key, and the main thing preventing me from using Pitbull.

Thank you very much for this thread, as I contemplated creating one myself.

I am using Statusbars since i hit 60 years ago and I dread the idea that it will stop working in the future - I haven't been able to find a fitting replacement. By the way, my Statusbars setup is similar to yours.

I still hope someone can maintain Statusbars. In any case, suggesting potential alternatives is a start

I wrote an Ace version and then abandoned it, you can use Pitbull to mimic the Statusbars frames (at least the health/mana ones)

Unfortunately, using Pitbull to mimic Statusbars is like using a broadsword where a scalpel would suffice.

I can't think of any Statusbar equivalent offhand (and I loved Statusbars until it became abandoned), but something similar would be OnScreenHealth which you can find on the Ace SVN and/or here: WoWInterface Downloads : OnScreenHealth

 

Seife

Onscreenhealth looks nice, thanks. Unfortunately it is crucial for me to look at some kind of bar - values presented as numbers or percentages are not intuitive enough for my liking..

 

Enkidu

I have considered both Pitbull and Onscreenhealth. In the first you can't make the bar none-interactive, so putting it center screen means that piece of UI realestate is gone (or am I missing something and it is possible to make the player frame mouse disabled?). The second is the exact same as Seife, no bars, otherwise MonitorStatus is something people could use also if they are not after bars.

A while ago i coded a replacement for my "statusbars-needs".

That's perfect, all most of us are really after is StatusBars without the taint log spam while still working moving forward to 2.4 on. Are the frames still none-interactive?

Do you think you could post it here, or better yet on a UI site like Curse or WoWInterface?

 

Loomax

Oww, is there by any chance the possibility you will release that? I have been quite addicted to statusbars on my rogue myself and would really love to get it back for energy and combopoint management, as I haven't found any decent replacement for it yet.

Provided as it is. I will not give any support nor will i continue to add features. It does what i want it to do. This was my first and probably my last addon. It is far from perfect and i can't be bothered to make it better.
To move the frame use /qsb.

P.S.: If someone wants to improve it or maintain it, feel free to do so.

I recognize that this is an old thread, if I'm in the wrong in resurrecting it I apologize in advance.

I've managed to scrounge a functioning version of this old addon through each new patch update and it's somehow worked for me. The release of 3.0 today has however put the final nail in the coffin of my beloved StatusBars. The new progressive energy bar has completely foiled every version of StatusBars that I have available to me. The combo point counter doesn't even work anymore either.

I've spent the last few days downloading and trying ever flavor of HUD and Frames addon that looked like it might be able to replace StatusBars for me, but I've been unsuccessful thus far. I don't really care for the vertical bar orientation that most of the HUD's seem to favor. And trying to get a Unit Frames addon to emulate this is just painful.

I'm posting this just to see if there are any other StatusBar junkies out there like myself who might have had more luck than I in finding a suitable replacement. Just looking for something simple with a horizontal health bar of yourself and your target, energy bar, and combo point counter, with the aforementioned non-interactive aspect as well to avoid misclicking on it in the heat of battle.

I too was using StatusBars until yesterday, yet only for the the display of combo points.
I replaced all other functionality over the time by with agUF, which had an built in energy bar etc.

Don't know if currently agUF works with the new energy regeneration, it did not on the PTR with the version available to me, and the EU servers don't come online for another 3 hour or so.

In terms of combo points display, I'm going to try NugComboBar and - if not possible otherwise - custom edit it to my preferred textures (also did that with StatusBars, it actually had the look of an Ace addon :p).

 

Sorry

I've hacked my statusbars to work with 3.0 somewhat (CPs/Targethealth). It's still my favourite statusbars addon because heath and mana are separate from each other and it has the best fading options.

to fix the combo display change in statusbars.lua
and
Since I can't programm lua, just steal and pillage from other addons or update syntax changes like the combopoint one I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate the new energy changes. I know how other addons do it, I just can't figure out to code it in statusbars style. How to change the player and pet energybar to update on OnUpdate() instead of OnEvent() when the new variable (predictedPower) which activates the new mode is set to 1.

I played with this on the PTR and I think the new smooth updating bars are nice to look at but not having them isn't really a gamebreaker. It's more of a cosmetic change and you can disable/enable it globally with (/console predictedPower 0 or /console predictedPower 1). Nevertheless I'll keep trying to get is to work and then there's still the thing about Deathknight runes coming with WotLK.

Sorry, your combo point fix worked for me! Thank you sir!

You've let me dodge the bullet of addon obsolesence at least once more. While the progressive energy bar is nifty, I'll not lose sleep over not having it. That said, if you do find a way to make that work too, by all means let us (ok, me) know.

Thanks again, you've made one rogue's life a whole lot easier in transitioning to 3.0.

Any updates on energy regen fix?

Yarrr modern pirate!

StatusBars - Addons - Curse

Give this version a try that was updated on Curse. The person who updated the addon mentioned just a combo point fix but its worth giving a try for the energy regen issues.

 

Yuumei

I use Xperl, but that is an addon that changes you how interface. Everything from how it looks, to where on the screen it's placed. It's very customizable. I'm not too sure if that is what you are looking for. And as for the casting bars, trying Quartz, movable and sizable.

 

Oscarvil

Someone has rewritten Statusbars and it works just like the old one, with a few new features such as buff/debuff tracking and a decent options menu. I have been using it a couple of days and it is excellent.

Fantastic, thanks for pointing it out. Exactly what I was looking for.
