Gladius

What is Gladius?
Gladius adds enemy unit frames to arenas for easier targeting and focusing. It shows a health bar, a mana bar below the health bar (optional), a cast bar below the mana bar (optional), a class icon to the left side of the health bar (optional) and important buffs and crowd control durations (optional, overlays the class icon). The frame resizes itself to the current bracket (optional).

Gladius uses the 3.0.2 arena unit ids, therefore it'll add units automatically to the frame (byebye targeting macros) and you'll always be able to target/focus the enemies, regardless of if they are added when you're in combat. The cast bars and the buff/debuff timers should be 100% correct.

You can add important buffs and crowd controls in the auralist.lua file. You will have to select a priority for it. If a buff/debuff is already displaying when the spell is cast it'll only show up on the class icon if the priority equals or is higher than the current one displayed.

More features:
Arena enemies targets (optional): displays the class of the arena enemy's current target in a small frame on the health bar to the right.

Trinket status (optional): has a few different display options, but in general it shows if the PvP Trinket is ready for the arena enemy.

Slash commands:
/gladius ui, config, options - displays the configuration screen
/gladius test1-5 - shows a test frame with the chosen amount of test units
/gladius hide - hides the test frame
/gladius trinket - simulates a trinket being used for the first arena target

But.. but.. this is very similar to Proximo and SSAF?
Yes, I simply created this as a learning project for Lua. I actually didn't plan on releasing it but in the end I thought it turned out pretty good and decided to give it a go. I do not expect to start competing with the big boys, but perhaps someone else is interested in using it.

Thanks:
Thanks to Proximo, SSArena Frames and their respective developers for working as both inspirational and informational sources.

Thank you! The reason things are going to fast is that I actually think it's a lot of fun working with the addon. I really love programming/scripting/webdesigning etc. in general and now I've finally got a way to put my energy into something useful. Also it's incredibly fun knowing that people actually use the addon and that they like it

Not going to release any completely new features until WotLK tho, want to get Gladius out of beta, so there's at least one stable release when S5 arrives

It's going to be hard to test the addon in the time span between WotLK release and S5, that's why I'm doing it like this.

Glad to hear you're liking it! To be honest I'm not really sure what you're suggesting. Can you perhaps take a screenshot or similar?

Do you have any idea what could be causing that problem. Thanks for your help.

Tried it just now and I don't seem to have a problem with it. Except if you're in an arena while setting the keybinds it won't work until you've either rentered an arena or reloaded your ui (/console reloadui). Same applies to testing, if you have it in test mode when changing the binds you'll have to re-toggle it for it to update.

Indeed it is, fixed in the next rev, along with displaying pvp trinket status for the human racial. Thanks for the report tho!

For that reason alone I love you for making this =)

Exactly, should be a standard in any 3.0 arena frame addon tho.

Thank you, fixed that

Always thought Lua was an acronym as many programming/scripting languages are.
