Adapt - Almost-Default Animated Portraits Updated this week!

Version: 2.0.8

by: Gello [More]

This small addon animates the unit frames of (nearly) any UI.

When the UI goes to draw a static portrait, this addon instead draws an animated model to the dimensions of the intended portrait.

Adapt is meant to be configuration-free (especially if you use the default unit frames), but there are some options you can change in the Interface Options Panel.

__ New in 2.0.8 __

toc update for 5.3 patch

__ New in 2.0.7 __

Minor optimizations

__ FAQ __

Q: Will it work with my custom unit frames?
A: If your existing unit frames are static portraits and not models already, yes it should. The universal approach this addon takes will attempt to convert any 2d portrait texture into a 3d model (if it's bigger than 30 pixels). However, if Adapt already came with the unit frame addon or UI compilation you use, you may need to get an updated version of that addon/compilation if it made any tweaks to portraits/Adapt.

Q: It's not working or there's a bug.
A: I'd love to hear about it in the comments. Please mention what Unit Frame addon or UI compilation you use.

Q: I use circular unit frames (like default), but when I look closely the model cut off as a square! Can the model be fit into a true circle?
A: Sadly, it can't. Addons have no genuine way to mask models. For circular unit frames the model is shrunk to fit within the circle. There's not a lot of wiggle room to create a universal overlay to trim the corners but it is something being investigated.

Q: What's an "anonymous portrait"?
A: When this addon was first written in 2006 over seven years ago, practically everyone named all their textures(portraits). Nowadays it's more common for textures to go unnamed as a courtesy to the UI ecosystem. For anonymous portraits you can only turn them all on or off, unlike named portraits which you can selectively disable.

Q: I want to disable my default focus frame from animating, but I don't see it in the options list.
A: The list in options is only of portraits it's encountered in that session (and those already disabled). Adapt has no awareness of what frames it will be asked to draw until it encounters them. So in this case you can /focus yourself and then when you go back into options the focus frame should be listed so you can disable it.

2.0.8 05/21/13 toc update for 5.3 patch
2.0.7 04/04/13 added blacklist cache, removed debug code
2.0.6 03/30/13 rewrite
- portraits indexed by the texture itself, not the texture name
- instead of a frame with back and model drawn off it, back and model drawn straight to parent of original texture.
- useParentLevel inherited by models
- setCamera replaced with SetPortraitZoom
- instead of reacting to every SetPortraitTexture, a SetUnit done only if the GUID changed. At the same time, if a UNIT_MODEL_CHANGED happens, every portrait of that unit will be updated at a lower priority update.
- rebuilt options frame

I appreciate it.

Gello A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 423 File comments: 197 Uploads: 79	I don't know how to explain this well, but I can't list frames for you. Do you use default unit frames? Every portrait has its own unique name. Discord can't use the default UI's names, CTMod has its own names, Perl has its own, etc, etc. The mod won't have a built-in list either. This mod sits between the UI and mods, intercepting requests and then changing texture requests to model requests. Think of it as being a postal worker going into work and then answering "who's getting what mail today?" You don't know until the stuff is sorted out.

Thanks a bunch and nice addon! Edit: Um... Guess what with 1.11 out it's a moot point. Last edited by bobllama : 06-20-06 at 02:38 PM.

I'll add the list of frames it's already animating in /adapt list. That should help a bit. The mod is ~275 lines of code and doesn't have any knowledge of the unit frames it's changing.

When you /adapt unanimate or /adapt animate, and there is no change on next login, it's likely that the frame isn't a texture. I'll add a check if a frame is a texture before allowing the frame to be blacklisted.

So you mention you can disable certain frames, but we need the names which aren't listed...

Also, by guesswork I managed to unanimate pet, party, player and targetoftarget, yet they are all still animated (/adapt list shows all those listed)...

What am I doing wrong?

Is anyone else getting that error?

This will definitely fix it: /script Adapt_Settings = nil ReloadUI()

If anyone else is getting an error I'll put in a check for that and post an update.

Kevlar A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	suggestion for a future release: allow us to change the background color of portraits? id like to use a better color than drab green great work! oh and also, might it be possible to get it to work with LucenUnitFrames? http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php/topic,1091.0.html right now the outline of the circle/square shows up but is hidden behind the normal portrait the unitframe addon uses.

Theondry A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 105 Uploads: 3	interesting "feature" When the UI displays the generic race/sex portrait because a unit is too far away, the animated portrait for my own avatar is visible behind the static, Bizz generated one. Note, this is using DUF and square portraits. I'm not suggesting that this needs a fix... just wanted to point it out.

Gello A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 423 File comments: 197 Uploads: 79	I don't have the ability to test this for at least a week. But I thought I'd just add a comment here: If this mod doesn't work well with your unit frames, then look for another solution. I'll be the first to admit there are likely bugs, but the inability of every single unit frame in existence to work flawlessly with this is not a bug but just an expression of the fact that portraits can be drawn in many ways that are unique and break. FrameStrata, overlays that cover portraits, redraws that happen every .3 seconds, etc. are beyond this mod's ability or intent to handle. This mod changes 2d portraits to 3d in as universal a method as possible. It can't account for every possible way unit frames are drawn. The default unit frames will always be the gold standard.

K.Rool A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	The fun thing is: All the bugs seem to only happen with CTUnitFrames, yet OTOH CTUF is the "smallest" approach to showing HP/Mana I can find, tbh... Oh wait. Search ui.************* for TargetInfo. Ok, will try that, it looks to be the really** minimalistic thing :P Again, woooot Gello for making this kickass addon! __________________ K.Rool, Master of unnecessary knowledge...

Re: Problems with CT Unitframes

Originally posted by K.Rool
I got this weird thing with CTUF:
When I have just clicked someone, and it's 3D Portrait showed, and I then click someone where it should default to the 2d Image (like, different zone), it draws the "old" 3D - normally wrong player then - over the 2D image.

Can anyone explain me how to haxxor the FrameStrata stuff in CTUF to solve this?

I have this also. In addition, on a vendor chat window the background appears *behind* what's on the regular UI it needs bringing up one layer (or however it's drawn).

On another note, is it just me or does the image clip quite a lot, not quite fitting into the circle of the default frames. The bottom of the image doesn't reach the bottom of the circle, the right hand side doesn't quite reach the edge of the circle either. These minor issues are a bit of an annoyance, but just a minor nagging issue. Great addon!
