Ara Broker XP

Version: r4

by: Aranarth [More]

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

Click the ASCII bar to display config menu. You can change:
- the pattern used in the ASCII bar (default is |).
- the length / number of pattern repetitions (default is 30).
- colors for earned, rested and remaining xp.
- the thousand separator / the character used between groups of 3 digits for better reading or large numbers.

r4
- Fixed the "1 bubblebubbles left" message issue.

r3
- Click the block to access options. You no longer need to edit the lua file.
- Max level is not hardcoded anymore: it will scale with expansions.
- In the tooltip: added number of bubbles left next to level.
- The thousand separator defaults to a comma if your client is enUS, or a space otherwise.

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.

And, the tracking of rest xp for different characters in FuBar_RestFu?

Thank you very much for your time and energy.

Sorry but I don't think I will add anything to this tiny mod. It would be better to make a new and bigger one that would incorporate your ideas. Try the "addon ideas" section on the wowace forums.

Just a small polish, basically allowing text instead of bar display, and giving it an icon. OR, (ofc) merge it with the Rep mod, below lvl80 it shows XP by default, at lvl80 it always shows Rep. ^_^ __________________ SQUEAK. --(The Death of Rats, Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)

Sorry, Im not ready for this kind of merge.

If you want text instead of ASCII bar, there's plenty of addons you can try.

Basically its just putting the text "XP:" in front of the reputation bar (not the tooltip). Code: block.text = "\|cff"..colorRested .. "XP:".. "\|cff"..colorXP ..strsub( bar, 1, lenXPlenChar ).. "\|r\|cff"..colorRested ..strsub( bar, 1, lenRestedlenChar ).. "\|r\|cff"..colorRemaining..strsub( bar, 1, (length-lenXP-lenRested) * lenChar ).."\|r" Last edited by kokomala : 10-23-09 at 06:20 AM.

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 157 File comments: 299 Uploads: 5	Aranarth, I know you're not playing right now, but you still seem to be semi-active, so I'll make this feature request anyways. What would you think about adding a yellow (or other) bar coloring representing the xp you'll have after you hand in all completed quests? I think this would be a wonderful feature, because then I would know when I've hit the threshold while doing quests of when I can hearth back to my questing hub, and turn in all my quests and get a level from it. As far as I can figure, you'd have to watch quest status update events, and whenever one is marked completed, scan the quest log, and total the xp it says you'll earn from completed quests. Also watch gear changed events, and rescan the quest log anytime a piece of heirloom gear is equipped or removed, as that changes the expected amount of xp gain. If you are disinclined to implement this yourself, or just don't have the time, would you merge it if I submitted a patch file to you with this feature? Or should I not waste my time? Thanks for everything, I still love all your mods!

The idea is interesting, I may look into it if I plan to make a bigger XP plugin, but that's certainly not before the beta of Cataclysm (if I get a key, which is unlikely).

I don't know what bubbles are so I don't care about how many are left. I know what percentage is so that's what I only care about seeing Thanks

The default XP bar has 20 bubbles, when talking to people who haven't an XP addon they will often tell you how many bubbles are left for level instead of %.

Re: Option to remove

I like the "XX Bubbles Left" reminder--that's the number I tell my friends, because most don't give a hoot about percentages, unlike you and I do.

Taryble A Molten Giant Forum posts: 811 File comments: 37 Uploads: 0	Slight bug when at less than 5% XP left to go The bug is in the "x bubbles to go" display text - when you're at 1 bubble, it says "1 bubblebubbles left". I looked into editing the lua for the addon, but I'm not sure how you're picking which string to display (bubble or bubbles) - I've never bothered much with the :format() on the end of a string (well, okay, bothered with it at all). Also, what does the "\|4" mean on that line in the lua code? (line 172, which seems to be the line where everything is done involving this bug ) __________________ -- Taryble

It was a typo with the "\|4" syntax. Here is a better format string exemple: "%i \|4mouse:mice;". As you have probably already guessed, it's a singular/plural selector: it looks at the preceding number (the argument provided for "%i") and if it's greater than 1 it displays the 2nd string (between ":" and ";"), otherwise it displays the first.
