rmod Layouts

Auralin · 03/06/08, 6:52 PM

Since Zork's mods have been worked into so many people's UIs lately, I thought it would be a good Idea if people posted the LUA changes they made. This post could be used to help give people ideas and a place to discuss the unusual configuration of these exciting new addons. Please include a screenshot and your memory useage. If you make alot of changes to the LUA and you can't just copy and paste it into the post please make a download available. Specify what rmods your using, so people don't ask for the LUA for your bartenders set up or your simple minimap LUA files.
If you're using Zork's Original layouts please don't take up room in the post everyone is able to search for his posts. Also please keep in mind this post isn't for showing off your UI, use thumbnails or links so we can keep this post somewhat clean.
I would post my LUA first but I'm not very good w/ LUA so im taking my time tweeking it on the test server. I can't wait to see what people are getting out of these new and different addons.

As much as I love Zork and what he does with his UI do please mind that the original coding is not made by him. He changed, added, deleted and made a few himself probably yeah. But he aint the original coder.

<3 you Zork

Would like to thank Zork and all the other minimalist addon creators which are going around atm, really nice to have under 10mb usage in arena.

Anyway, if possible can anyone tell me the code needed to change the lvl text on Roth's latest pTags to combo point text? Thanks! I'll post my layout later.

Something like that would actually be pretty hard as far as I know. pTags just moves the default frames around and changes the looks on them. It doesn't even keep track of any unit information whatsoever.

in which case i would just like to remove the level text. i've had a fiddle with the lua but it seems like every change i make only appears in the first instance nameplates show, after which the changes are reverted to their pre-lua fiddle looks :[

I play a hunter so the pet bar is always visible. When I have the pet out, the pet bar appears fine, but the old blizzard background art also appears.
Also, I am having trouble finding the way to move the bottom-most action bar. I have the pet bar anchored to actionbutton7 so those tow move together, leaving the bottom-most bar stuck in it's original position, i've trial and error'ed moving every bar in the lua but it still won't move.
screenshot:

I want it to appear as such:

[-----pet bar-----]
[----action bar with 6 buttons----]
[----action bar with 6 buttons----]

I have a question regarding shapeshifting and rBars.

I changed the SetPoint to move the Bars up a bit from 10 to 50.

-----------------------------------
-- put bars to places
-----------------------------------

MainMenuBar:Show()
MainMenuBar:SetWidth(512)
MainMenuBar:SetFrameLevel(0)
MainMenuBar:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
MainMenuBar:SetPoint("Bottom",0,50)

Whenever i shapeshift (Druid) it changes the MainBar to Cat or Bear, wich is fine so, ofc. But the new bar for cat/bear is not set at 50 height, but still at 10, with the main bar being hidden (wich is ok, too. just to explain the look).

Wich leaves a gap between the cat/bear bar (and tree of life, maybe boomkin bar, too) and the normal bar above the main bar.

Where can i change the position of the cat/bear/etc. shapeshiftbars ?

To remove the level text from the bar, you should just need to comment out these lines:

levelTextRegion:ClearAllPoints()
	levelTextRegion:SetPoint("RIGHT", healthBar, "LEFT", -2, 1)
	levelTextRegion:SetFont(NAMEPLATE_FONT, 12, "THINOUTLINE")

i had a question also then. I'm look at rbuff. How would you make the timer only show seconds, when the buff time is below 1 min / 60 sec. So it has the format: Hours only when buff had hour(s) left like flask. Minutes left when 60 min til 1 min. And seconds only when 1 min / 60 sec are left ???

(e) i found out.

Servase · 03/10/08, 4:22 AM

I love look of this ui but im finding it really hard to being able to move bars, target frames, keybindings are there any opions i can use or do i have to edit the lua.

You have to edit the lua. For moving atleast, for binding .. i think you just bind the default bars in wow.

I'm sorry if this has been addressed in the UI thread already, but I can't seem to find a download for the rmods anywhere other than via Zork's UI. Google brings up nothing. Could anyone provide a download link?

Check my signature for further information.

But, like Led++ already mentioned. I am not the creator of all this addon. Some addons like rBars or rFilter are created fully by myself but some like rBuff or rUnits are based on other addons and were heavily modified.

Other stuff like AzCastbar, pTags and such can be found at wowinterface. I only tweaked a little bit on these addons since they are almost perfect out of the box.

To make your addons "minimal" you need to get rid of everything that is not needed. This includes ingame options to change stuff.

I have tried this UI for some times now, and i really liked it. However, i think that there is two things missing, which i have not been able to make myself, which is a OOR fader on the raidframes and some sort of tracker for hots or just lifebloom for both party and raid.

Anyone got a workaround for either, or should i get some other raid frame addon and hide the raidframe section of rUnits?.

Duncan · 03/10/08, 1:56 PM

It would need some coding to add buff/debuff filter or at least to show a specific buff. I have my raidframes hidden and use GRID for this. As much as i like the look and simplicity of rUnits, i'm thinking about switching back to Pitbull for my Unit/Raidframes, though.

Illundai · 03/10/08, 2:45 PM

I'm really bad at this .lua stuff. How do you alter the opacity on the rightside bars? They are faded a bit more then the mainbar.

Thats rFilter. It fades Frames in and out while "in combat" or not.

I do the latter. I like rUnits for my player/target/tot/focus frames, but I use Grid for raid healing and what not. It uses more memory than rUnits would, sure, but I'm used to Grid and have it setup to track lifebloom stacks and such.

If anyone is interested in .lua help, you can check out this thread at the wowace forums.

What addon is doing this:

The timers inside the buttons. I don't want it, how do I turn it off?

Servase · 03/10/08, 5:18 PM

Can anyone give me any tips on how to edit the lua to make my ui look like this?.

Load up Wow and open the file with the coordinates for the ui element you want to move. Play with the values, reloadui, and see what happens. Repeat until satisfied.

Folken · 03/10/08, 9:43 PM

I don't understand anything at all about lua ! Can anyone give me a hint how to display enemy HP in unit frame, instead of only percentage?

• sadris · 03/11/08, 2:07 AM

Check out the healthbar.lua file.

If any of you onlookers are planning on posting a question for every little change you want then this probably isn't the addon for you.

Here is what I have been working on. Uses custom buff/debuff addon; the whole setup will be posted when I get finished with the party unit frames.

I think you need another addon to show target's HP, try MobHealth
