X-Perl UnitFrames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.6.35
by: MysticalOS, Zeksie

A much enchanced version of Nymbia's Perl UnitFrames, and a complete replacement for Blizzard's default unit frames, including raid frames and raid tools, with many additions and improvements over the original Nymbia code.

Range Finder (combined with optional health check) for all frames based on spell or item range test.

HoT Monitor will highlight units clearly that have your own active Heal over Time spells.

Debuff Highlights in standard debuff colours on all friendly frames. Priority given to show debuffs that YOU can cure first.

Raid Frames, buff icons, MT list units and some other portions or X-Perl are Created on demand. Saving a lot of time and memory at system startup. Defering the creation of many parts of X-Perl to when they are actually required. And of course, most often outside of raids they are never required and are never created.

Raid Target icon support for Target, Target's Target, MT Targets.

Raid tooltip will show combat rezzers available (druids with Rebirth ready (or very soon available) and any normal rezzers out of combat) if you bring up tooltip of a dead person.

'In-combat' indicators for Pet, Target, Target's Target, Party, Party pets, Raid, MT Targets.

3D Portraits for player, pet, target, focus, party. Optional. Of course this may degrade your framerate somewhat because you are displaying more 3D character models that without this option. But some like it pretty, and it does look cool.

Red and Green combat flashes for frames when player, pet, target, party, partypets, raid take damage/heals. Useful indication of things happening.

Added time left on party member/target buffs/debuffs when in a raid, these depend somewhat on CTRA/oRA/oRA2 sending appropriate information over the addon channel, although some of it can be determined at run time by X-Perl, when a player gets a buff for example, we know how long it should last, and therefor when it should expire.

Totally new options window including all X-Perl options and access via minimap icon.

Configurable colours for borders and backgrounds. Including class coloured names, and configurable reaction colours.

Much care has been taken with code size, memory load, memory usage per cycle and so on. LuaProfiler/OnEvent mods used extensively and regularly to ensure that X-Perl does not do more work than is absolutely necessary.

With that in mind, the event system was totally re-written, and is as kind to system performance as possible. The majority of events are disabled while zoning to alleviate any event backlog issues. And where most addons use 1 event handler per unit frame, which although standard, the alternative has improved X-Perl's performance. By using single main event handlers, we can route the events to appropriate units. So, for example, when a single UNIT_HEALTH update is fired, then just a single raid frame or party frame etc. gets the event, rather than 40 raid frame's handlers, 4 party and so on. Nymbia's Perl used to do a lot of crazy full frame udpates all over the place, eating away at CPU cycles. This was all fixed to only update what was necessary based on events.

Liberal usage of local functions to cut down compiled code size, and increase speed since functions are called directly rather than by name. Every time you have a global function, you have a global string name associated with it, so size in the global environment saved where possible.

XPerl_RaidHelper sub-addon
Assists View
Will show anyone from raid assising you with your target, and can also show healers or all plus known enemies targetting you.
Tooltips for the same also available (on player and target frames) if you prefer to not use the main window.

MT Targets
Replaces CTRA/oRA2 MT Targets window, and doubles as a replacement for the Perl RaidFrames warrior targets.
Indicator shows which target you are on.
Frames will be coloured to show if tanks have duplicate targets.

XPerl_RaidMonitor sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Casting Monitor
Shows selected classes (defaults to healer classes) in a list (much like the MT List), but with some differences.
Shows mana bars and cast bars on left. Their targets on right. Health bar as normal, but a secondary small red bar on targets which shows the maximum single hit this unit has received since entering combat. The secondary bar will extend downwards from their current HP level down to as far as zero.
A green name on the targets indicates this is the same target that you have.
You can click on casters or their targets as expected.
For druids, right clicking on a caster will cast Innervate on them.
For shamans, right clicking on a caster will cast Mana Tide Totem. Check the * indicator to see if they're in your group.

All bars can be re-sized in X-Perl main options (Monitor section).

Totals can be toggled (from the 'T' minibutton at top of frame) which gives overview of raid mana status.

XPerl_RaidAdmin sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Raid Admin
Save/Load raid roster setups
Only does direct save and load for the moment, but more to come (templates and such).

Item Check
Replacement for /raitem /radur /raresist /rareg. Use the old commands before, or drop items in the left item list.
Query button will perform /raitem on all ticked items (query always includes dur and resists) and you can then view and review all the results whenever, without having to re-query each item.
Includes everyone in raid, so you don't have to work out who doesn't have items, it'll list them with 0 instead of no entry.
Active Scanner to check raid member's equipment for the item selected. So you can be sure that people actually have the item worn (Onyxia Cloak for example), without having to go round single target inspecting everyone who 'forgot' to install CTRA for the 50th raid in a row.

Supported Addons
CT_RaidAssist, oRA2. Shows tooltip info and player status, replaces MT Targets List, improves raid frames, shows player status, resurrection monitor, buff timers aware.
MobInfo-2 / MobHealth3 - Shows target health from MobHealth database.
DruidBar - Shows druid mana bar from DruidBar when shapeshifted.
Clique compatible. And any other click cast addon that uses the same communication method. (see below)

Changes:
*Updated for 5.x
*Should use signifcently less cpu then it did before
Optional Files (0)

Missing buffs

Seem to have picked up a rather annoying little bug a few versions back. Basically, I have the frames set up to show only buffs castable by myself. I can then tell at a glance who is missing the buff in the raid. It still shows the ones I cast on players but, doesn't show the same buff cast by other players anymore. Now I can't tell if they have the buff or not.

Edit: It's the Mage intellect buff if that helps...

The MT list works exactly the same way that it does with oRA2 and CTRA. If the raid leader/assistant defines a tank, then it'll show up in this list. You can also set them yourself via the raid frames unit popup menus in X-Perl if you are leader/assistant.

Not sure what you mean by target of target on party group 2? What are you expecting to see?

Maybe I am wrong and this was in a different mod but I thought it was x-perl which I love btw.

Any help how I get to see that window again?
That's the XPerl_RaidMonitor addon, check you didn't disable it in the All tab, or if it's still enabled, you can open it by clicking Enable in the Monitor tab.

Is it possible to set the Main Bar, with my main skills on it to use the same keybindings as in stealth?
Like, pressing 1 will use Sinister Strike out of Stealth, and Cheap Shot while in Stealth.
Help?
Firstly, this is nothing at all to do with X-Perl. X-Perl does unit frames, not action bars.

Secondly, why can't you do this. Just stealth up and drag the skills u want to use on that bar? Should be straightforward enough.

I have searched a couple of sites for others having this problem and I don't see anything about it, so it must be something I am doing wrong.

MT list is broadcasted as-needed, and sometimes CTRA or oRA2 (because it's using the same old protocol) doesn't think it's needed. Most often a broadcast is done when you were offline, or before you joined the raid, and the anti-spam bit says 'no, i just broadcasted it so I won't do it again for now'. Just use the oRA2 (yes, get oRA2 instead of CTRA) menu and select the 'Request Status' option which will request a re-broadcast.

MT Problem

I saw you reply to a few other things, does that mean the issue I am having is trivial and I am not looking hard enough for the fix? I did see someone else reply and say they were having the same issue I was though.

Re: Yellow Border?

Originally posted by even13
I've been using xpearl for quite some time now, and I like it a lot, but one thing that bugs me is the yellow border that appears when you target yourself for example, or when you select an npc and hover your mouse over the target frame. I think it really distracts from the look of the frames.

Is there a way to disable that yellow border? Or better yet, make it show like the combat flashing or status highlighting?

Sorry if my post makes no sense, and thanks in advance for any uh..help that is given.
Yeh, turn off selection highlight in global options.

@ Zeksie


The option was active, with frames shine not only on what the class can remove (example Paladin = poison), but also with what they themselves (example rogue = poison, Warlock = curse / magic), but can not remove .

The same issue is being reported to the authors of all the other UnitFrame mods.
Is there any news on when Blizz is going to fix this? Its making my raid frames look so cluttered

Thanks for a great mod!
