I am changing over to SUF from Pitbull, and loving the ease of use. The one feature that I am sorely missing is the totem bar, basically a separate bar attached to the unit, that come with Pitbull. I haven't seen anything about totems since this post and others in May and was wondering if there were any plans to work on them? I agree that colored rectangles are a pain.

Don't know - they're slowly declining as the timer fades. I know how long my totems last so I don't find it a major issue. The addition of the totem 'timers' to SUF allowed me to drop DoTimer, as that was pretty much the only thing I was keeping it around for.

Similarly, on my DK I got to drop Acherus because of the Rune mod addition to SUF.

I'm probably not going to add actual icons it was an idea I played with originally, but not something I'm that interested in adding at this point.

Okay, thanks for the response. Another suggestion came to mind as I am playing with the advanced options a bit would be to allow the "empty bar" to use Class Color. If this is already possible through the different tagging, some advice on how to do that would be appreciated instead.

Is there a way to amend the texture for bars such as health and power?
I'm sure I've been able to do it in the past, but for the life of me I cannot find the option in the GUI.

EDIT: Sorted. I set the texture to oRA3, and when I removed oRA3 I lost the option to change the bar texture in SUF. I edited the bar texture in the lua saved variable to a texture I actually have (Smooth) and the option to change the bar texture on the drop down also reappeared.

/suf -> Bar texture

Really great UF Shadowed, I really like the configuration compared to Pitbull3.

However, after a brief search I couldn't find a tag for replacing the name of a person with their status in raid only. I think the basic idea is like this, if "status" then status:time or else their name.

E- After a good hour of being a tard when it comes to coding/programming I think I figured it out...

function(unit, unitOwner)
if( UnitIsDead(unit) ) then
return ShadowUFLocals["Dead"]
elseif( UnitIsGhost(unit) ) then
return ShadowUFLocals["Ghost"]
elseif( not UnitIsConnected(unit) ) then
return ShadowUFLocals["Offline"]
elseif( not UnitIsDead(unit) ) then
return UnitName(unitOwner)
end
end

That should make it work like the default Pitbull raid frames did.

Those two in the middle had just died and I must have caught it in transition.

Did you have event detection on when you added that tag? You should have "UNIT_NAME_UPDATE UNIT_HEALTH" as your tag events otherwise. (the order does not matter, just that those two are there)

The last line should be, return UnitName(unitOwner) or UNKNOWN sometimes due to latency on getting data you can have unknown names and that will make sure that it shows "Unknown" rather than nothing.

I didn't check the disable box, so I think the answer is yes. But yea, the addon filled in that part for me.

HI. Im trying to change the Color text of my [perhp] tag. could use some help thanks.

Machinator · 10/11/09, 11:40 AM

Is there a way that auto hiding the cast bar doesn't resize the other bars? I just want it to pop up above the hp bar when something is casting instead of pushing other bars down.

Nice addon

I switched from Pitbull 3.0 -> Pitbull 4.0 beta -> SUF and have been running this for some time.

I really believe that the fundamental design of being simple is adhered to. I've found features very discoverable and simple to configure. The default layout isn't just a stack of frames in the centre of my screen and the addons (Grid in particular) mean that as a DPS I don't have to manage the "real" grid addon, but can still have a great small view of my raid.

I put a comment a while back on curse.com asking for Main Tank frames, which were delivered in a clear way. I've kept up to date with each major release and my config hasn't regressed once (perhaps I'm just lucky!).

What's most amazing though is that there is nothing SuF isn't doing that I wanted Pitbull to do. However, it uses less RAM, less CPU and is easier to configure. Not bad. So, I take my hat off to you Shadowed, this is a great addon and I have no desire whatsoever to shop around for a replacement for as long as it continues to be one of the highest quality frames addons out there.

Logged onto my little baby shaman and found some strange totem bar, went into /suf and disabled them but the Blizzard Totem Icons did not reappear anywhere

Would it be possible to have Shadowed Unit Frames not hide the Blizzard Totem Timer thingies if the "Totem Bar" in suf is disabled?

oooor, am I just going crazy?
