XP bar with default settings

Ara Broker XP Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

This data broker plugin provides an ASCII bar representing XP: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

To change options you will have to edit the first 2 lines in the lua file. Here is how it looks:

Code:

local length,	char,	colorXP,	colorRested,	colorRemaining,	thousandSeparator =
	30,	"||",	"6060ff",	"ff8040",	"cccccc",	" "

- length is the number of char used.
- char is the character to use for display. The pipe character has a special meaning so you have to double it to just display one. You are not limited to just one character. If you provide more, the pattern will be repeated length times.
- colorXP, colorRested and colorRemaining are colors in HTML format.
- thousandSeparator is the character used between groups of 3 digits for better reading of large numbers.

Change Log - Ara Broker XP

r2
- Added variable "thousandSeparator": in the tooltip, it's the character between groups of 3 digits. Defaults to " ".
- Added the LDB attribute "type" (set to "data source") for better recognition & display integration.
- Small code tweak in FormatXP function.

r1
- Initial release.

septor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 120 File comments: 89 Uploads: 0	I was just saying to myself that I needed some kind of visual display on my progress. I have an XP remaining Broker display, but sometimes it's nice to see my progress and I didn't really want to set up XPBarNone again. I have one question, however. Are the length ticks a representation of the Blizzard XP bar bubbles? Thanks for this.

Edit: Spaces for 3-decimal separation aren't the easiest to read for a lot of people. You may want to make it an option (at least in the lua, a simple "local formatting = 1" and "if(formatting = 1 or nil) then" option would work) rather than making people mess with string patterns if they want it displayed differently.

I found your edit rather confusing

It seems you mix the format of tooltip values with the string pattern of the bar.

For the 3-decimal thing, I tried many rendering and felt that it was the best visual cue. Im open to other ideas, but I will go hard on them, as most aren't viable for quick glance

EDIT: now that I think of it, I should have added an extra space to separate raw values from percent values
