Thanks. The command worked. However, is there any way to show DK runes around the frames? As a DK is my main, it'd be superb if this is possible as the frames were fantastic.

This does not work in: Player>Texts>under "size" slide bar (-5 to +5) when i enter a number, ie. 10. and hit enter, it does nothing.

Works perfectly

Thanks.

Any hex color code generator will work as long as you put |cff before it, Hex Color Code Generator - Bookmark this Chart is a random one I pulled up from Google in the "Hex" box if you set it to red you will see #FF0000, replace the # with |cff so it becomes "|cffFF0000" and you can embed it into the text to make it red. You would do this using the same page you add or remove tags to text.

Where do i put the color tags in again?

And again, thanks for a great addon, and listening and being open to ideas

@Shadowed:
First of all, great work, Shadowed. I like your unitframes very much. Perfectly balanced between minimalism and flexibilty. I'd like to ask a question though - would it be possible for you to release a nolib-version? That would be great.

@SpaWns:
Put the color tags right into that custom text field on top of the text customization page.

Enable the rune bar under Units -> Player -> Bars -> Enable Rune Bar

You're doing it wrong somehow, just tried and works see: http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/8065/brewfest.png

Not something I plan, it's extra stuff to do when packaging for little gain. If you really want to ruh nolib (Which I don't recommend unless you're profiling) just remove

libs\LibStub-1.0\LibStub-1.0.xml
libs\CallbackHandler-1.0\CallbackHandler-1.0.xml
libs\LibSharedMedia-3.0\lib.xml

Thats what i did, but didnt work

edit: just tried again, no luck. it stays at size "5" even though i put in "10" below the slider.

edit 2: heres a screenshot to illustrate.

Shadowed · 06/21/09, 5:20 PM

Are you sure you're editing the right text, as there is no reason that won't work short of that.

SpaWns · 06/21/09, 6:17 PM

Yup, its the [currhp] tag, (24.1k) tried all of the lines. nada

Sibyl · 06/24/09, 12:15 PM

I was wondering if there was an option to change the strata on frames. Quartz seems to be covering the background of my target frame.

Does the size change when you lower the text size?

There isn't, but you would have to move it for a second and then move Quartz out of the way.

Yes, between -5 and +5. it changes, but its not alot, the screenshot i posted was at +5.

You hit enter right, you aren't simply entering 10 in the edit box and then leaving it?

SpaWns · 06/25/09, 9:15 AM

No, im hitting enter after i type the 10. (see the previous screenshot)

Shadowed · 06/25/09, 4:49 PM

Not really much I can tell you then unless you have an odd mod conflict, as I've tested multiple times and had no issues with it not resizing at all.

Charsi · 06/25/09, 5:16 PM

I'm using these frames and think they're fantastic. Great work. Two quick questions:

Is there are way to do more explicit buff filtering (whitelist/blacklisting) that I don't see or is that a module i'd have to write myself?

Is there a way to change the size difference between enlarged (de)buffs and ordinary sized (de)buffs?

I have plans for something a little bit better than specific aura filtering, but I'm still working out the design. The basic idea of it is going to be a general timer addon that can track diminishing returns, party cooldowns, specific debuffs on both players and enemies. All the timers would be attached per guid so if you put a DoT you're tracking on Mob A and B and you target B you will only see the timer for B on the target frame.

You could change the size manually, but it will cause debuffs to slightly overlap with each other which is why it's not an option yet see ShadowedUnitFrames/modules/auras.lua find 1.30 change it to 1.50 to make it 50% bigger and so on.

If you didn't want to wait for the module I'm doing I would recommend you hook the Auras.Scan function and basically copy that code but with aura filtering for the units you want it enabled on. Here is a quick dry coded example of how you would write a white list filter for auras. The code I'm giving you for adding auras is slightly different from the version you have but it would be up to date in a few minutes when I push it live.

local whiteList = {
	["Rend"] = true,
	["Sunder Armor"] = true,
}
local function filterAuras(frame, filter, type, unit, specialFilters)
	local index = 0
	while( true ) do
		index = index + 1
		local name, rank, texture, count, debuffType, duration, endTime, caster, isStealable = UnitAura(unit, index, filter)
		if( not name ) then break end
		
		if( whiteList[name] and ( not specialFilters.player or caster == ShadowUF.playerUnit ) ) then
			frame.totalAuras = frame.totalAuras + 1
			if( frame.totalAuras >= frame.maxAuras ) then
				frame.totalAuras = frame.maxAuras
				return nil
			end
			
			local button = frame.buttons[frame.totalAuras]
			button.auraName = name
			button.auraRank = rank
			button.auraTexture = texture
			button.auraCount = count
			button.auraType = debuffType
			button.auraDuration = duration
			button.auraEnd = endTime
			button.auraStealable = isStealable
			button.auraCaster = caster
			button.auraPlayers = caster == ShadowUF.playerUnit
			button.auraID = index
			button.filter = filter
			button.type = type
			button.unit = unit
		end
	end
end

local Scan = ShadowUF.modules.auras
ShadowUF.modules.auras.Scan = function(self, frame, ...)
	-- We're scanning auras for the target, run our special aura filtering code instead
	if( frame.unitType == "target" ) then
		filterAuras(frame, ...)
		return
	end
	
	Scan(self, frame, ...)
end

i have these mods installed, do you know if it could be any of them?

One question though, when I'm in a vehicle, the health bar is a dark dark green on a dark background and it is difficult to read. Can I change the health bar color to be the same as it would be if I weren't in a vehicle? Thanks!

Unrelated question, but what mod are you using for your font? Also what font is that?

As was posted here, the 'frequentUpdates' isn't quite on par with what LibQuickHealth accomplishes (the youtube vid explains it nicely.)

Yea I saw that when it came out, but LibQuickHealth-2.0 isn't really that far ahead of the predicted updates at least not enough that it's worth using a library that has (from he code comments at least) some unsolvable issues that can result in bad health data being returned from it.

Seems like the latest release doesn't play nice with Grid.

Grids fault actually, but the author is being a pain and won't tag the fix. See WoW AddOns - Grid - 139 - Grid is updating fonts registered with SML incorrectly - WowAce.com or download latest from WoW AddOns - Grid - Files - WowAce.com to fix it.

Is there any way to split the health bar and power bar? Can't seen to get some empty space between the two of them.

Kuosi · 07/16/09, 9:14 AM

I'm not too familiar with lua and wasn't quite able to figure out where to enter the hexcodes for colors on text tags.
Say I want my curhp to come out green |cf3ECD32, so how should I put it in?

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"]
end

return ShadowUF:FormatLargeNumber(UnitHealth(unit))
end

Depends, while the option isn't exposed you can increase the spacing between all bars with /script ShadowUF.db.profile.bars.spacing = -1.25; ShadowUF.Layout:Reload()

Create a new tag with the below and then use the new tag instead of [curhp] for every unit frame you want green health.

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"]
end

return "|cf3ECD32" .. ShadowUF:FormatLargeNumber(UnitHealth(unit)) .. "|r"
end

Duilliath · 07/16/09, 4:06 PM

Wouldn't it be easier to either be able to make an extra bar (empty or otherwise), or increase the padding on it through menu options? For a next edition, I mean.
