Shadowed Unit Frames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v4.4.8
by: Shadowed, Nevcairiel

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Slash commands: /shadoweduf (/suf)

Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Profiles do not have to be swapped and it is all automatic.

Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:

Player: Player, Pet, Pet Target
General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target
Party: Party, Party Pets, Party Targets, Party ToT
Raid: Raid, Raid Pet, Main Tank, Main Tank Target, Main Assist, Main Assist Target, Boss, Boss Target, Boss ToT, Main Assist ToT, Main Tank ToT
Arena: Arena, Arena Target, Arena Pets, Arena ToT
Battleground: Battleground, Battleground Target, Battleground Target

Features

  • Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
  • Incoming Heals: Supports the Blizzard Events for incoming heal data, no external libraries needed
  • Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
  • Aura Timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
  • Aura Indicators: Display colored squares or icons for certain auras on any unit
  • Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
  • Class Power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.
  • Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them
  • Range Checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
  • Exportable Layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
  • Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

Are you going to release your addon into the Public Domain so someone else can take up maintaining and updating the addon ?

Will you allow this with the license you have on your addon ?

That is very sad news indeed. I have no idea which unitframe addon to replace this with, so I´ll just go ahead and hope someone takes over the project.

However, thank you for all you hard work. This is an truly amazing addon.

Since I´m hoping for the best, I´ll go ahead with my constant tweaking and ask my question.

I have a target, focus and target of target frame. My own health and mana has so far been shown with Icehud. However I would like to remove Icehud. Without getting in to the details on my new setup, I´m looking to get my health and mana in the form of Percent and current/maximum.

The problem is, I don´t want any bars for myself. Only the text indication. Furthermore I want it to not show out of combat and this setting only to apply for me, not the other frames.

I know there is a general setting to set bar alpha to 0%. But that is not an option since that also removes the bars for my target, focus etc.

If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

You will be missed, thanks for making such a great addon up til now.

Anyone have any recommended replacements with anywhere close to the customization you can do with this?
^ this, by far the best unit add-on i have used in my 5/6 years of wow. suf is going to be missed /cry

Group Row Spacing

Hi there!

Thank you for this amazing mod. I love how configurable it is and have been sharing it with others in my guild.

In doing so, I noted an oddity with group row spacing on Raid frames: if you adjust them to row grow up with group row spacing set to 50, the gap between groups is about twice the size as if you adjust them to row grow down with group row spacing set to 50. I'm not sure why this happens.

I was also hoping there might be a place I could change that group row spacing maximum or an option to enable me to spread the groups out vertically in a single row. Choosing one group or many per row seems to align them horizontally.

Thanks again!

Having a hard time creating a tag. I want to place a tag on my player frame that returns the name of my focus target. The reason I need this is that I only use focus targeting for Misdirection. I don't really need the frame, I just need to know that the Misdirects are going to the right person.

How would I go about creating such a tag?

Long time user

First off, thanks for this amazing add on. I have tried a lot of different frame mods but this one just works for me. Have been using this for a long time now and have never had any issues, until now. Played for a bit this morning then logged out for a while, came back and all my profiles are gone! When I logged out it was due to WoW becoming unresponsive, I didn't have the configuration window open for SUF at the time. No errors popped up on log in later, just a message from SUF that my frames were unlocked. Needless to say the frames weren't in the right position so I went to my profiles to select the frames I made for my mage and there was nothing there other than the default profile. Any wild ideas as to what may have happened?
