eXtreme Unit Buttons v1.9 Release Candidate 8

Version: 1.9RC8

by: paladindrome [More]

Change Notes for 1.9 rc8:
---------------------------

Bug Fixes from Wowinterface:

Friendly buttons on Hostile and Hostile button on Friendly would show during the Global Cool Down.

I reordered the code back to closer to what is was in Rc6 and
this problem has gone away. The code progression is now different
from what Tay had so we need to test to verify it hasnt
caused other issues.

Strata chages to Frame causeing issues.

Added two constants with RC6 values and update the setting code.

A Use for Debuff (! in extra) was not working.
Changed use debuff code to work

I dont know - I didn't see anything wrong looking at the screen shots.

PLease verify that you have done a "/xub p normal" on the druid. I can see on the priest screen where it is picking up the normal profile - but there was enough chatter in the druid that the start up message isn't there.

Next thing to try is to disable perl frames and see if we can get the buttons to show up with Blizzard frames.

Check that the frames you are using are set in the unit frames dialog and make sure that the profile you have specified in the profiles sectionis turned on (/xub p ...)

FYI, I'm noticing that when I leave a raid, and have been using Blizzard's raid UI, where you pull out of the raid book the individual groups and lay then down on the main screen, that the buttons stay, when the raid group frames disappear. A "/XUB P" doesn't fix the problem, but a "/console reloadui" does.

I've used extreme unit buttons for years on my priest and other class characters, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my druid. I have all the options set the same as for my priest (obviously with different spells) but none of the buttons appear on my player window or anyone in my group. It hasn't really been a problem up till now because I have been leveling solo, but I'm starting to get into group play. Is there a trick to setting this up for a druid? Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

AFAIK PitBull 4 does not have any Raidframes anymore (couldnt find them)
So you may *force* xub to use the 'Party-Settings' when your in an Raid.

HAs anyone found any other issues with RC8 - or are we ready to push it out?

When I queue into an Arena battle, where I'm in a raid, but there's only me and one other person, my buttons don't seem to want to show up, either using the Blizzard party frames, the Blizzard raid frames, or ag_UnitFrames frames.

Otherwise XUB seems fine.

I will try changing my settings to copy yours as described, will post here if anything changes.

Here some Info for PitBull4 users.
You may use these settings to get your xub to work:

Unit Frame: -- Custom Settings --
Player: PitBull4_Frames_player
PlayerPet: PitBull4_Frames_pet
Target: PitBull4_Frames_target
Focus: PitBull4_Frames_focus
Party: PitBull4_Groups_partyUnitButton#
Party Pet: PitBull4_Groups_partypetUnitButton#

I tested everything but the PartyPets, but IMAO they should work

@dev: Please add these as Default settings
Greetings

Ok. As I mentioned, it used to be really bad some time back, but haven't seen it recently.

Well actually, the values I stated are the most cpu intensive ones, so if you are having performance problems, don't use them, or at least just give them a try but don't spend time on them if your performance sucks. I was just stating them to show that I had the max settings and didn't see performance problems. Doesn't mean I'm saying you are NOT seeing problems.

BTW, can you supply your config script?

There were bad issues with update speeds in the past, but they had been (for me at least) fixed a couple of versions back. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, some of the update sliders on the config screen became obsolete, and are not needed anymore, though I can't remember which. Something said in discussion posts.

I have "Party/Raid Change Delay" at the minimum value, "Max Units to Update" at the max value, and "Update Rate" at the minimum value. I don't see allot of delay (though I do still see some).

At the end of the day, the more buttons you display, the slower things will get. Having said that, I'm not discounting your report, there may be new issues with performance.

Re: PitBull 4 Support

Here's the current settings for PitBull, inside of the XUBUnitFrames.lua file...

Code:

elseif ( myDefault == "PitBull" ) then
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Player" , "PitBullUnitFrame1" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "PlayerPet" , "PitBullUnitFrame2" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Party" , "PitBullCluster2UnitButton#" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "PartyPet" , "PitBullCluster3UnitButton#" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Target" , "PitBullUnitFrame4" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Focus" , "PitBullUnitFrame6" );
    end

So for anyone reading this, and until the devs update this file, if you change these values inside of the XUBUnitFrames.lua file to what JoSchY posted (below), then you won't have to manually enter them everytime you switch from/to PitBull.

It would look like this after making the changes JoSchY suggested...

Code:

elseif ( myDefault == "PitBull" ) then
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Player" , "PitBull4_Frames_player" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "PlayerPet" , "PitBull4_Frames_pet" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Party" , "PitBull4_Groups_partyUnitButton#" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "PartyPet" , "PitBull4_Groups_partypetUnitButton#" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Target" , "PitBull4_Frames_target" );
        XUB_UF_Apply( "Focus" , "PitBull4_Frames_focus" );
    end

Make sure to make a backup copy of the XUBUnitFrames.lua before making any changes! As always, if you feel uncomfortable making these changes to the source code files, you can input the updated values inside of XUB on the unit frames config screen.

Re: Massive delays updating buttons in raids

Originally posted by Anotherpaul
I play a raiding priest and I have XUB set up to have 6 buttons on every player (4 heals, 2 debuff). In a 5 man I have a few more for Fort and Spirit. Anyway, updating the buttons when a player joins/leaves in a 5 man is no problem. Small delay but no big deal, like a split second.

In a 25 man raid it gets progressively worse. If we have around 20 and someone joins, the update takes well over a second. If the raid has 25 and it's over and some people start to leave.. it can leave my UI frozen for over 5 seconds at a time. I have almost missed out on loot in VoA for example, because someone leaves and I am unable to roll on loot that dropped because my UI is frozen for so long.

Now I have a pretty decent PC. CPU is an AMD 64 3.2GHz, 4GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4800 video card. It should not take over 5 seconds to update 6x25=150 buttons. That's 1 button every 0.33 seconds, while my UI is completely unusable for the duration.

I've tried changing the update rate and max units to update options, but they have little to no effect.

Any help?
