MetaHud

This addon adds a HUD to your UI, showing all the information normally displayed by the Player and Target frames and more.
Always thought it was a shame that Drathal's HUD was given up on the way it was so, I have taken the core of that code and MetaMorphed it.

Added some features which I thought were pretty useful, and removed some of the excess stuff. Decided to release it, as no doubt there are others who enjoyed this as much as me.
Full credit to the original author of course, for the initial code.

Features:
=========
Health/Mana Bars colour levels.
All Bars are animated.
Shows Level, Name, Class and Elite/Boss, Pet, NPC.
4 Alpha Settings for: Combat/Target selected/No Target/Player is regging.
4 Displaymodes for Health/Mana.
Many positioning and Scaling Options.
Hide Blizzard Player/Targetframe.
Target Menu with Leftclick on Targetname.
Player Menu with Rightclick on Playername.
Castingbar with Cast-time.
Option to hide Petbars.
Option to hide Targetbars/Text.
Load-on-Demand configuration display.
Target's Target display - click to switch to that target.
Aggro alert - audible and visual warnings.
Target PvP status.
Self PvP status.
Status icons for Rested, Combat, Raid leader, and Loot Master.
Target distance display.
Support for Mobhealth, Mobinfo2, and Mobhealth2.
FlightMap support.
FuBar_ToFu support.
myAddons Support.
FuBar Support.

See included Readme for patch history.

Change Log - MetaHud

02 April 2008 - v20400-3
Argh! - 2 minutes after upload I realised I included wrong file in archive.
This one contains the correct chat alert sequence, and does the CC alert correctly.

02 April 2008 - v20400-2
Updated the recommended CC macro further up this page.
Removed chat alert mouse click from flight timer display.
Added new keybinding to the system keybindings for all chat alerts.
Set key in keybindings which will then produce the following chat alerts when used:
No Hud: Pastes your current location into message box for current channel.
Hud showing: Pastes your current target into message box for current channel.
In Flight: Pastes your flight destination/ETA into message box for current channel.
Active CC: Pastes time left on CC into message box for current channel.

29 March 2008 - v20400-1
Fixed flight timer errors for new flight paths and some other minor fixes.

I have one small issue: On first log in or relaodui, the strata of the hud is very high, covering objects that it shouldn't. Opening the options screen moves the strata back down. It's only a minor inconvience but then again the options are load on demand and I shouldn't have to load them just to push the strata back down. Keep up the good work!

Re: More on Problem with MobInfo2

Hi MetaHawk,

I received a reply from the developer of MobInfo2. Here are his observation as to the cause of the error previously reported:

As far as I can see MetaHud calls a MobInfo internal function with a "nil" argument, yet this function must not ever be called with a nil argument or it will crash as observed.

For the more technically inclined: the MetaHud function causing the problem is "MetaHud:Show_MobInfo()". It calls the MobInfo function "MI2_BuildMobInfoTooltip()". Apperantly it can happen that "MI2_BuildMobInfoTooltip()" is called by MetaHud with a "nil" for the "mobName" argument, which causes my code to crash with the aforementioned error.

I do hope that you can follow this and make a correction. Your hud mod is simply fantistic.

Cheers,

Is it still happening in v11200-10 ?

And btw, how can it pass back a nil value when you have the mob already targeted? The name cannot be nil when you pass the mouse over it as it exists right there as your target. I have a feeling it's more a case of it not existing in the MI2 database that may cause it. I have put a check in for that in v11200-10 to see if that is the case.

This happens with Fubar installed when I remove fubar it doesnt happen. I see you use Fubar as well and so I'm not sure whats going on.

Thank you for the help.

MetaHud is v1.3 compliant so, installing the backward compatible libraries for FuBar would help.

RedLegg A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 53 Uploads: 0	Found a bug with MobInfo2 2.98 Hi, I get a non-fatal Lua error frequently when in combat. A error dialog pops up with the following: Interface/Addons/MobInfo2/MobInfo2.lua:150(attempted to concatenate a nil value). It is a mild annoyance, but I can continue to combat mobs. I am also reporting this on the MobInfo2 page at ui.worldofwar.net. Thanks for the great work, this mod frees up so much screen realestate for me.

katerisg A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	bug...not sure but, Installed it and luv it for the improvements you've put in! Well done! small issue for me,...when I log in the HUD didnt update when I attacked a mob. The health text of the mob was decreasing but the green health bar didnt go down as I was fighting. Found that when I right clicked the icon to open the options, and went back to the HUD it works properly. Any ideas? appreciate it __________________ Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
