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)

The way the scaling works changed a few versions back. If you un-pin the window and then use the corner dragging scale control you should be able to re-scale it appropriately.

healing party pets

I'm not sure how long this has been going on, because I dont often heal party pets, but I know that I used to be able to use click casting (Clique) to heal them and now I can't. Is there a reason behind this?

Hey,
Love this mod but for some reason my aggro warning will not work anymore. I took about 6 months off so I just updated to the new version. In the old version I had my aggro warning worked fine, no matter where I was. Now I only get the aggro warning when I'm in a BG. Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure you updated your Clique. There was some problems with it with pets since the last patch if you still have a version before r88.

Hi

I am using grid, clique and x-perl (all newest versions)

I want clique to let me cast spells onto people in grid, and only in grid, while retaining normal mouse functions for everything else (ie right click my char portrait to leave groups, etc)
However, with x-perl enabled i am unable to right click my portrait. It works fine if i disable x-perl and right click on my blizzard ui char portrait. Ie its an issue related to x-perl (or an option i havent ticked off somewhere)

Do you know what the problem is ? I read several pages of comments but i saw no similar issues mentioned

I really like x-perl, but grid and clique takes precedence meaning i have to find a different unit bar mod if i cant get this issue resolved

(i cant right click other players either btw)


edit: it works now, for some reason. I didnt touch anything nor log out or similar but suddenly it just started working. No idea what the issue was.

If you are using clique go into clique options and select what frames it should hook itself into. Make sure it only hooks on grid* frames and not everything else. After you are done with selectign what frames to hook then reload the ui.

Just installed this mod and it works great, except one thing..

It's put a "Cast Monitor" windows right smack dab in the middle of the screen. It's a Grey box, and it has a close "X" on the right side, but it doesnt close when I click it. I can't move it at all. If I load up XPerl Options, it throws up a 4-way directional arrow icon in the middle of the small window, but still can't move it.

I just want to get rid of it and can't figure out how to, or where to click it off.. anyone?

WoW not loading xperl

ever since the patch WoW does not load x_perl. It loads every other part of x_perl but the main dependency. Everything is installed in the right folder.

Sounds more like a file corruption or disk error than an addon problem. Tried re-downloading?

Unlocking Windows?

Is there a way to unlock the windows without having the control panel up? I'm trying to move around my pet's target window, and i can only get that in combat, and it's a little difficult with the config panel up, etc..

I agree. Tons of nice configuration options, but they're not too worthwhile if we can only see them when we're busy doing other stuff.

The addon could benefit a great deal from having placeholders for everything.. target, target's target, party members, party pets, party targets, etc.. everything.
