Carousel

Attention to users of versions before 2.0:
Carousel 2.0 has a restructured database and will convert as many of your settings from previous versions as possible. Some settings cannot be carried over however. Backup your saved variables if you are concerned about losing settings.

General Description:
Carousel is a LibDataBroker display addon, inspired by displays like Fortress and StatBlockCore. However, Carousel compacts multiple plugins into single blocks, which can cycle through plugins as you wish.

Type /carousel or /car to open the load on demand options menu, where you can edit the look and feel of the display, as well as the place and order to show LDB feeds. If you are interested in customizing Carousel's font, see the CarouselFont addon in optional files at the top of this page.

New in 2.0:
You can now have multiple "Carousels" bound together into bars. These bar will automatically resize to their contents, and can be left, right, or center anchored.
Carousel will alert you *once* when it finds a new LDB feed or updates to a new version. You can disable this feature in the /carousel menu.

Planned Features

Option to ignore launchers.
After showing a recently updated plugin, cycle back to the previous plugin after a certain amount of time.

Note To LDB Feed Developers:
Carousel has had issues with LDB feeds which "grab" onto and modify the frame sent in the OnEnter and OnLeave functions (examples are Fubar2Broker addons using Tablet). This is because multiple feeds can share a frame. Carousel implements OnShow and OnHide callbacks so LDB feeds can release the frame when the user hides the display through cycling or disabling an LDB feed, allowing the frame to be reused by another LDB feed.

I know how to fix it, but it will take a while. It requires a rewrite of the mod, which is making progress, but I have not had much time to work on it lately. Thanks for everyone's patience, I want it fixed as much as you do!

One thing though I'd like to see is the addon to be invisible till I move my mouse over it.

That's a good idea.

Another thing (although I've no idea whether you can do anything about it): the ZOMGBuffs plugin doesnt seem to work properly. Somehow it has the idea it should show the Grid menu :S

Keep up the good work!

My guess is that the grid tooltip is bugged.

Kerecha A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 148 Uploads: 0	Been notising some odd behaviour. if i shift through the plugins suing the right arrow i get 1 set of plugins (ie some of the ones i have active are missing after a full "round") but if i do the same using the left arrow i get a different set (ie some are missing, but different ones) For instance PicoDPS ONLY shows if i circle through using the left arrow, but never if i use the right arrow.

I'll put removing the arrows on the list As a side note, this rewrite should fix the Fubar2Broker bug. __________________ - Astromech

shobu A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 79 Uploads: 1	Finally! A good broker display addon! I really like how I can use the mousewheel to scroll through my modules. Would it be possible to add an option to remove the left and right arrows to keep things tidy? Apologies if this has already been requested. Thanks! Last edited by shobu : 10-26-2008 at 09:29 AM.

It's getting there, except now Fubar2Broker mods show no tooltip at all... still working on that! Hopefully I'll get a new version out in a day or two. EDIT: Well that didn't work. I'm afraid to fix this will require a rewrite of much of the addon. I'm sorry, but right now, better just not use Carousel with Fubar2Broker until one is fixed. I'll look into maybe patching Fubar2Broker now. __________________ - Astromech Last edited by Astromech : 10-22-2008 at 03:25 AM.

Kerecha A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 148 Uploads: 0	Im using something along the lines atm, have them of in catousel and enable them in fortress when needed and the kicking em of emidiately after. But for some i do a lot of on the fly changes as i go (for instance ebb, moving buffs and changeing anmes on em as i encounter em). Also for oRA its not practical to have to turn it on/of all the time.

Astromech A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 40 Uploads: 5	Yes I know about that issue, but I'm not sure of a way to fix it. It's due to Fubar2Broker assuming each plugin has a unique frame, which is true for most data broker displays, but not Carousel. It's not in the data broker spec either though. I don't have any experience with Fubar plugins so I've been having trouble figuring it out heh. You can work around the issue by disabling all Fubar2Broker plugins in the Carousel options menu and then reloading the UI. Not an optimal solution, I know I'll see if I can figure out something better! __________________ - Astromech

Kerecha A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 148 Uploads: 0	Im having minor issues with carousel and fubar2broker (i use it to catch all those pesky minimap buttons for config launchers and stuff, while using fortress for the stuff i wanna see all the time). The problem is that some of these launchers generate tooltips on mouse over (like skinner, elkbuffbars, autobar informing of different mouse+modifier quick commands) these tooltips cause carousel to glitch up and display that addons (the first one to trigger a tooltip) tooltip every time i mouseover carousel, reguardless of what plugin is being displayed. It also causes the "click to open" to become glitched and nologer respong to clicks untill i have reloaded the UI (triggering any mouseover tooltip will cause it to glitch up again)

I am planning on working on Carousel this weekend, so hopefully I'll get a new version out with a fix for that and some new features! __________________ - Astromech

Kerecha A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 148 Uploads: 0	Having some odd behaviour with Carousel and positioning of the display. I drag it to where i want it, but when i "drop" it it jumps up about 5-10 cm making it impossible to place it at the bottom of my screen where i want it. This only happends after changeing the scale.
