Fortress   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Fortress is a display addon for LDB data feeds. It shows each plugin as a block, which is freely movable and can stick to other blocks. Blocks can be unstuck by holding the ctrl-key while dragging them.

Commands:
Use /fortress or /ft to open the configuration (also accessible via Main Menu -> Interface -> Addons -> Fortress).

Configuration:
The configuration has two parts: The master settings and the individual plugin settings. At first each option is controlled by the master settings and therefore it has the same effect for each plugin. Once you change something individually for one plugin, this setting is no longer controlled by the master mode (for this plugin).
You can select the mode for each option at the "Select master" tab in each plugin's config screen.

Bug Reports:
To report a bug, please open a ticket here.

Other versions:
The latest beta version is available here.

Maybe Fortress was deactivated due to the patch. Check your addon settings (character screen, button at the bottom left corner of the screen).

I've been shopping for a Fubar replacement, and have been unsuccessful.

However, I was looking at this addon, and I had a question.

With some LDB bar addons, there is difficulty in displaying Fubar plugins. Even using Fubar2Broker doesn't fix it. Are Fubar addons plugin-able for Fortress? (I noticed in your screenshot you had MoneyFu, for example).

Hello Borlox,

first of all i want to thank you for your great addon.
I have used Fubar a long time, but now i have discovered Fortress and i love it
But i have one problem/question and hope that you can help me getting a solution therefor.
I have split up my LDB addons in two seperate "bars".
One is on the left side of my screen and only holds the casterstats, the other one is on the right side and only holds "raidstuff" like oRa Settings, Recount toggle, BigWigs Settings,zBrokerDurability and so on.
The left bar (casterstats) should allways be shown, the right bar ("raid stuff") only at mouseover.
And thatīs my problem, i donīt get the whole right bar showing on mouseover.
The only options is showing every single part in this bar on mouseover, but i want the whole bar to show/hide on mouseover, not the single parts.
Is it possible to get a whole bar showing/hiding on mouseover ?


Kind regards

EDTI: Found the solution for showing a whole bar on mouseover.
But now i have a new problem.
How to get one bar showing allways and the other one only at mouseover ?

I've got FuBar Dummy and Fubar2Broker running, but now I'm finding that several FuBar mods, all in their own folders, are failing to load automatically. They can be loaded on demand, but I'd love to fix it so I don't have to remember to do that. Any ideas? Examples: RecountFu, RestFu, VolumeFu. I've been looking for Broker equivalents that I like, but not found any yet.

Does anyone know a way I can get these working again?

I've just downloaded latest Fortress verion (1.11.2) with the new Icon and Text alignment feature and I notice a undesired (well, in my opinion of course) behaviour:
if I hide the block icon on a per-block basis, the "space" used by the icon itself is still being counted and I have a lot of blank space in between the text.
Any chance to fix this?

Thanks!

Ok, I think posting one more time. A clear post.

Fortress start menu is like: icon is an arrow, text is fortress.
when clicked it would reveal/show all modules that were attached onto the fortress block then click the fortress block to make it minimize again.

Also another thing that would be pretty nifty is setting the scale of icons within the box (so there's less black/dead space between the icon's border and the block's border). Very cool for blocks that you only want to show icons.

One last note, sometimes when attaching blocks to one another and then putting more blocks or a set of blocks onto the first set it'll snap align weird like the second block(s) would not align to the right along the first group.

I probably talk too much, but it's better to toss it all out imo. Personally I don't mind how long it takes, just throwing out some ideas and suggestions.

And again, thanks for the great addon, because it is indeed a very well made addon.

A small little thing about the tooltips. When I use a vertical layout the tooltips cover up the other blocks. Also, if I have blocks in the middle of my screen some tooltips show on top while some show below.

So in short,
tooltip anchor choice top, bottom, left, right
and sub categories left, right, middle


p.s. you can ignore my earlier post, I've found a workaround!

First off thanks for a fantastic addon.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a block for fortress show and then when I'd hover over the fortress block it'll show the other blocks I linked together when I have those blocks (minus fortress's block) on the hide all on mouse out checked. Kind of like a windows start menu. That would be pretty awesome!

Someone already mentioned alignment and icon location (I think). Perhaps also allowing us to put some quantifiable space between the icon and the text would be a nifty addition.

Thanks again for the addon, just tossing a few ideas out.
