Ara Broker XP

Version: r11

by: vikingking, Aranarth

Version R8 and higher has been tested with Classic, BfA Retail, and the Shadowlands Beta.
You only need the current version for all your XP reporting needs.

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.

r11

Updated toc to 90001
Code cleanup, fix indentation in code

r10

Marked WoW 9.x as Released Version

Cleaned up some issues with the code

Updated to work properly with Shadowlands Beta

Change icon in broker to something supported by both Retail and Classic

Update ToC

Updated and tested under 8.0.1 and the BFA Beta

Fixed the "1 bubblebubbles left" message issue.

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.

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.

Initial release.

If there's a futur release, I will probably move the user configuration to an optional file.

Also, could you use commas (,) to break-up large numbers rather than spaces (ie: "1,234,567" instead of "1 234 567"). The spaces make it difficult to read.

You can edit the thousandSeparator variable for that purpose (r2).

Now leveling an alt to eighty, I wanted to give it a shot; however, I cannot get it to work (same with Ara Broker Money.) Upon entering world, neither addon appears. I've even tried a new character with the default UI + Ara addons, but they do not appear. I have also tried using Addon Loader and changed it to non-delayed load. Am I missing something?

What display version do you use ? If it's ButtonBin, try to define an icon for it.

Carighan A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 96 Uploads: 1	I like this addon a lot, it's a very neat idea. I'd have two ideas for "improvements" though: 1. Give it an icon. A "@" or "ß" would be fitting as very noticable characters, IMO. 2. Make a copy which is a rep-bar, so one can load either depending on whether the char is maxed, or even both. ^_^ __________________ SQUEAK. --(The Death of Rats, Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)

How exactly do you define an icon for it? In the .lua file, or in button bin? If in button bin, how exactly?

Any chance you could add this to the tool tip? Something that would just say "4 Bubbles to lvl 72" or something like that. Thanks, Twidget

Edit the lua file and replace line 27

Code:

	GameTooltip:AddLine( format( "Lv. %i", UnitLevel"player" ) )

Code:

	local nbBubbles =  floor( (maxXP-XP) / maxXP*20 +.5 )
	GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine( format( "Lv. %i", UnitLevel"player" ), format( "%i bubble%s left", nbBubbles, nbBubbles>1 and "s" or "" ) )

Hi,
I will try that. Thanks!
I bought the WoW Programming book and have been studying. I had already added a few lines to the lua that seem to be working but I want to try yours too. I added the following at line 22:

local function round(num)
local mult = 10^1
return math.floor(num * mult + 0.5) / mult
end

Then at line 36 I added:

GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine( "|cff"..colorRemaining.."Bubbles|r", "|cff"..colorRemaining..round(((maxXP - XP) / 5) * .001))

This way I didn't have to change any of your existing lines. I just added 5.

Thanks for helping me to learn!

It does not show up on the plugin list. Please look into this as DockingStation is currently the best LDB display mod available and I'm sure there's a lot of people that want this to work.

It shows for me and the author of DockingStation as you can see in his exemple panel: http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw21390.jpg
I don't know what's wrong in your case, sorry. Maybe you missed it ? It's called "Ara XP" and not "Ara Broker XP" and new plugins are hidden by default.
