Diablo 3 with 24 buttons (12 and 36 possible too!)
rBottomBarStyler (Diablo)
Intro
This is my new mod and it is my first mod ever that will have no Lua config. Woot? Yes, no Lua config. You can access everything by using the /rbbs slash command in the chat.
News
Added class coloring. Data now saved per character.
What does it?
With this mod you can select between different background styles (textures). Additionally all styles use my orbs. The mod is standalone and can be used with any other mod or unitframe around.
Currently you can select one of this styles: Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Diablo 3 no Orbs!, Roth UI, AION and AION2.
Addtionally you can scale the bars and the Roth UI, Diablo 3 and Diablo 3 no Orbs! layout has 3 bar backgrounds to choose of, for 12, 24 and 36 buttons.
The orbs can be clicked and act like your player frame. You can hover, left and rightclick them. The orbs have health and mana values aswell.
Available styles: Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Diablo 3 no Orbs!, Roth UI, AION and AION2
/rbbs setart d1 or d2 or d3 or d3no or roth or aion or aion2
Example for 12, 24 and 36 button bars
You can set them up by using the /rbbs setbar command
Orb colors?
You can select between 5 colors for health and mana. Red, green, blue, yellow and runic. The manacolor can be chosen automatically on stance/class. See sethealthorb, setmanaorb and setautomana for more.
The orbs suck, is there a style without?
Yes, choose the Diablo 3 no Orbs! style (/rbbs setart d3no)
What does it not?
One word: Actionbars! Since I provide very specific BottomBar backgrounds you need very flexible actionbars that will hide the default Blizzard actionbars.
I suggest: Dominos, Macaroon! or Bartender4.
To make this clear. This mod provides background textures only. The orbs are a plus but thats it. You cannot put your spells on textures, you need actionbars to do this.
Where do I get the xp/rep-bar?
Use jExp2 for this. jExp2 provides a movable and sizable xp-bar.
Are the orbs functional?
The orbs act like your life and your mana bar. But since the mod is standalone and you will use unitframes and actionbars its kept very simple.
But nevertheless, the orbs have health and mana values. The have a very nice animated glow and they act like your player frame and can be hover, left- and rightclicked.
How do I move the bar?
Make sure setmovable is set to 1 and setlocked is set to 0. A grey square will appear on your bar at the bottom center.
Hover the square. Now hold down ALT+SHIFT+any mousebutton and pull your mouse.
To reset the position set the movable variable to 0, this will delete the data and reset the frame.
The bar is to big or to small?
Use the setscale slash command to adjust the bar to your liking. Values from 0.5-1.5 are optimal for most users.
How do I use it?
After login enter /rbbs in you chat and a help text will show up with further information. The following commands can be made.
Slash commands? /rbbs
- This will output a info text /rbbs getscale
- This will output the scale value that is currently set /rbbs setscale NUMBER
- Type in /rbbs setscale 1 to set the scale variable to 1
- This command is very cool you can make the bar very huge or very tiny with just one little command since everything is anchored to one frame /rbbs getart
- This will output the art that is currently set /rbbs setart STRING
- values allowed: d1, d2, d3, d3no, roth, aion, aion2
- This will change the style of the bottom bars to another style, reloadui is required!
- Example: /rbbs setart d3 /rbbs setbar STRING
- This will only viable for the roth, d3 and d3no layout
- You can choose a background bar for 12, 24 and 36 buttons
- Allowed values: bar1, bar2, bar3
- Example: /rbbs setbar bar2 /rbbs getlocked
- This will output 1 if the bar is locked, otherwise 0 /rbbs setlocked NUMBER
- Set this to 1 to lock bars, 0 to unlock /rbbs getmovable
- This will output if the bar is movable or not /rbbs setmovable NUMBER
- This will set the bar movability. If you set this to 0 your saved position data will be deleted (reseted) and the default value will be used.
- If you set it to 1 and locked is set to 0 you will see a grey square at bottom center of your bar. /rbbs sethealthorb NUMBER
- values 0 (classcolor), 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (blue), 4 (yellow), 5(runic) to set your healthcolor /rbbs setmanaorb NUMBER
- values 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (blue), 4 (yellow), 5(runic) to set your manacolor /rbbs setautomana NUMBER
- values 0 or 1, this will override the manaorb setting and automatically detect your manacolor on class/stance
Where is the data saved?
The data is saved under the SavedVariables folder of your Account.
An excellent addon, Zork. I have a few issues though.
First off, this specific addon is different than that of your "full version" in the fact that the bars don't update right away, and the transitions are chunky rather than smooth. Is there any way that I could get THIS addon to work in a similar way of the "full version" without actually downloading it? I previously used the full version, but I needed a lot more from my unit frames.
To be honest, I don't know why Blizzard never adopted a similar style of unitframe as that of Diablo. I found my eyes hurt a lot less from not having to dart back and forth during raids; seeing all my spells and my health/mana reserves so easily is a GREAT benefit of this addon. Not only that, but the graphics and animations are so well done they put Blizzard's default UI to shame.
I use this addon in tandem with xperl (ugh I know) and the reasoning is because I prefer their easement of flexibility with their unitframes.
What I want out of this addon (or possibly the full version) is ONLY the working orbs and the bar ARTWORK. I have Dominos, which I actually prefer as well. Just to make it simpler; is this possible to do? No party frames, no target frames, but the same utility as the full RothUI?
If this is possible, I would really appreciate to hear how to do this.
Thanks for this great addon!

Thx for the heads up on the action bars... guess I was too tired to see the obvious..
Anyway.. I am having issues with the Aion2 Skin.. 95% of the time the art hides behind my Sunnart skin. reloadui works sometimes but normally not. Yet if I go and turn off some addons it comes back.. then I turn them back on and it is still there in its entirety. Then I zone into a instance or relog and BAM! art is partially missing or all gone save the orbs.
Any Ideas on how to fix that? I would drop the sunnart skin.. but I use it to resize the screen so the addons fivins is in dead space.
1) I love your mod, very nice job and thank you for it.
2) Quick question though, The Shaman color is very, very close to the Mana color. I was hoping to change the color of my Health Orb and was looking through the pictures. I enjoyed the Mage class color on the Orb and was wondering if there was a way to manually edit it so I can use that color on my Shaman.
Thanks for updating to the new code with class colors! I am a little disappointed though, because I saw you updated RothUI to be freely movable and was hoping you would do the same here .
Vehicle is not intended really. This mod is basically no unitframe replacement, just some fancy art. If you want to use that as your unitframes check Roth UI or oUF_D3Orbs.
Is there a way you could either add, or point me in the direction, of replacing my own personal health orb with my vehicles when I enter one? That's effectively the one feature of this I'd really like to have, otherwise it's been a wonderful tool to use to clean up my UI.
