The minimap issue should have been solved in 0.7, have you updated to the latest?

Thanks, I'll reupdate

Also, I'm having that recount issue where it's not recording data while docked. I have the dock tabbed if that makes any difference either. Any help there?

That's strange, Dock doesn't do anything that would interfere with data gathering. It just reanchors it, doesn't even hide it. I honestly have no idea why it would fail to record/update.

I'll mess around with it some both in raid settings and out and repost in this thread

It may be some other addon confliction.

Yea so I asked my friend, he uses no buff buttons just bars for mana/health.

But it seems even after removing buff buttons it still thinks it will cause taint, not that i would use it anyway without them because thats why i use XRS.

I tried Nbuffbars which was similiar to XRS but was also undockable : (

Any ideas on what to use for buff checkage thats dockable?

And does anyone know any mods to buff your raid with a single keybinding? i use smartbuff currently but i haven't updated it in ages and was wondering if there was an ace alternative or something more up to date.

To use just the bars (with no buttons) you have to disable/suspend the addon and then resume it. Then it works again, but only with the bars.

As for the other half, haven't found anything.

Kameril, I found out that it was a library issue on my end. Works fine now

thought I'd mention a strange occurence I experienced tonight while sitting out of a raid before the Omen topic dies off.

Anyways, I was flying around in SMV waiting to be rotated in and had docked Omen into a vertical dock and everything looked fine. When I flew the inn in the scryer outpost Omen would disappear from the dock (which was tabbed) and when I would leave the building it would reappear as if I had undocked it.

Also, I had pallypower docked in the same one and while it shouldn't shrink to fit into the dock (I assume this is due to how wide it is) it would disappear when the dock was tabbed. However, when Omen would decide to disappear from the dock, pallypower would reappear next to the tab. If I opened the dock, pallypower would act like it was still docked and disappear again if I closed the dock back to a tab.

Not sure what to make of these, but I'm loving this so far.

I was trying to dock the Cooldown Monitor from oRA2 last night, and the monitor itself would dock and shrink, but the candybars associated with the monitor would ignore the resizing and extend beyond the dock entirely.

Also, both it and BigBrother "undock" anytime the raid disbands and is recreated. Is there a way to prevent that?

I have this problem too. For now, I just used oRA2's options to scale the bars down to fit. When it's undocked, the bars are the same size as when it's docked (small). This might be sufficient for you too if you don't actually need to read the names on the bars (increase the font size for bar text?).

The size of the title text for those windows does scale properly between docked and undocked modes, it's just the bars themselves that don't change size.

That's how Omen behaves when you are in a "rested zone" (inn, large city). It hides and only shows again after leaving the spot. I guess hiding and reappearing makes Dock think it's a new window instead of the same.

Is it possible to have an option for dynamically re-sizing Dock to accommodate the addon you are trying to dock. The "Frame Size" error is frustrating, I'm trying to save space by minimizing my Dock footprint which in turn minimizes the footprint of several other mods. What I'm trying to do is get dock to a smaller size and then put one more frame in it so I don't have any wasted space in Dock.

The current way is to resize it down pixel by pixel until Dock regurgitates a frame, and then upsize it one pixel to fit it back in.

I know this sounds hard, so I'll completely understand if it's just not possible...

I was trying to add chat/combat logs/maps/dmg meters to the dock windows and finding it hard to get a good synch of sizing and working ness. I'm going to try again this weekend after raiding and hope that I can get it again, but in the mean time, what about a frame inside the dock? Essentially you would have the dock but then frames inside that you could make whatever size, to accomadate a vertical addon in the vertical frame (which otherwise, as was my experience, takes up the whole frame) but would still fit into a smaller box in the dock itself.

If that seems unclear, please ask questions and I'll try and fix it, but I probably just need to SS what im doing and how I'm having problems and maybe my issue isn't enough to grant the kind of change to dock I'm looking for. We'll see. Either way, it's one of the greatest addons from idea->completion I've ever seen.

I was having some of the same problems with sizing in the frame, but this mod is great.

That's quite weird...

I have a Dock tabbed (vertical) with Omen in it... And its working fine... No issue regarding Omen over-sizing or anything else.
The main thing I've done is to let Omen always shown, so, even if tabbed, Omen stays in the Dock.

Was trying it today, pretty good, but I couldn't get sws window working.

I get it into dock by moving the window, when I click on it, the sws window goes back to the original position fine, but, I can't get a way to add a "dock button" to the sws window to just click on it and send it back to the dock, like I do on the chat windows...

Sorry for the lack of replies, but after careful consideration of where Blizzard is taking this game and where I want to take my life I've decided to end my subscription. If you have the experience and skills necessary to continue development on Dock let me know and I'll see about turning the project over.

Inkm · 02/28/08, 5:26 PM

Sad to hear that, best of luck in whatever you decide to do with your time

. Thanks for the cool stuff you've made.

Grincognito · 03/04/08, 2:41 PM

Looks nice, I'll try it out tonight
