BhaldieInfoBar 

I think this addon would be outstanding in Bhaldie Info Bar!

Please consider porting it! And thanks again for a great little mod - I tried a few of the other bars recently and came back to Bhaldie because it does just what I need without a lot of other "stuff!"

Hai Mate i want to say if u need space? i will honer to gave u some space if u want

Hey,

Haven't been able to get to your website for some days now, is BIB dead or being developed somewhere else?

Hi there!

First off, I'd like to thank you for making this mod. While it took a little getting used to, I'm now a total convert. With regard to plug-ins, I'd ask you to consider converting Titan Aspect (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...o.php?id=4265). It's pretty useful, and I haven't really found another standalone mod like it. It's really the only thing that I miss from Titan Panel, and I know I couldn't convert it myself.

If you can great, if not - I'll still use this mod.

Hey, I understand what you're going through. I may not be as deep in the code world as you are, but I do know how near-impossible it is to explain these things to people who aren't in the same hole.

That's why I suggested just doing a comparison of the general Titan functions/frames in relation to your fuctions/frames as a start, so I could at least try to figure out what I should try to look for. And perhaps get a friend to proof-read it, heh.

Take your time with it though. I'm not in a huge rush.

Honestly, I could probably do without AlarmClockWrangler, since I don't actually use the alarm clock anymore. Just so long as your clock has similar offset options.

Anyway, I wasn't in my right mind there....those are just the ones I started with that are specifically Titan plugins. one of the major items I'd want to keep from Titan is DepositBox, which is an addon that lets me hide funds from the rest of the UI so I don't go broke spending all my money. This also lets me save up for things I can't use yet (like a mount) without having to do the math myself.

I guess I just don't like a lot of change, such as having to get used to completely new plugins for BIB when it really doesn't seem like it should be all that hard. I'm just not understanding your english nor what I'd have to do to the other plugins to make things work. Not for lack of trying either, I must have spent an hour or more trying to figure out how to port over TitanHearthStone (yes, I know there are other plugins that do this, but so far this one plugin does exactly what I want and nothing that I don't want...so...yeah).

Maybe I'm just too picky about my UI. I think there's only about one or two of my total 100 or so addons that are loaded (give or take two or three due to class-specific features that the others don't need) that I haven't opened up and changed several things each and everytime I downloaded a new update for that addon.

It got frustrating when I was browsing the XML file looking for something similar to what you were showing for the example plug-port and I wasn't seeing anything even remotely similar. I also wasn't understanding about the New Stuff you had marked. Is that mark under the new stuff or over the new stuff? Is the new stuff limited to the following frame only, or does it continue further down? And the really confusing part was when I didn't see anything to show where the new stuff ended....cause then next tag was for more new stuff.

I think my single best suggestion would be to try rewriting that tutorial using more generalised examples that would cover possible situations in a more complex plugin. Also what would be nice is perhaps a list of common Titan referenced and their equivalents/usage notes in BIB. I know it would be a bit more work than what the last one took...but while some people will ge tit right off the bat, a still-learning LUA coder wannabe like me just can't take what you have now and apply it to something different.

Other things to think about are templates, sample plugins with simple commented code where things were changed.... okay, by now you wanna smack me. -ducks-

If it weren't for these issues, I'd be dropping Titan on the spot.

Once again, today I attempted to figure out how to port my Titan plugins over to your bar. What would seem simple is in fact VERY complicated. while you do port some of them yourself, I find that those ones you chose to port are for the most part the extremely popular and extremely lacking in usefulness. If I were to switch over I'd loose a ton of plugins that are vital to the way I play the game right now.

"So... port them yourself." you'd say. well, I did attempt that but I discovered it near to impossible to figure out what the heck I needed to do even with the porting guide. You have a complete tutorial for one plugin only, and the information you provide is pretty specific to that plugin. The are many plugins that don't have XML entries that are the same as the one you follow in the guide, and many of them that I've used have several different frames with scripts on them that don't even fit within your guide of what to remove and what to add. Then I scroll down to loo kat the LUA section and ...gah... It's like I'm rewriting the addon from scratch. The changes just go on and on and on and on!

What I was expecting, rather than a tutorial for one single addon, was to find a guide to the differences between Titan and BIB and what functions are the same (other than name) and which are different, what you have that titan doesn't have, what functions in Titan can be easily changed to a BIB function and what args your function adds to it...etc etc. That might have helped a bit more. as it is, sure we all know how to port that addon but when it comes to something more complicated, we're gonna have to take a week or two to dig through your code to figure out what does what.

If you are looking for more plugins to port yourself, which would probably be easier in the long run, here's my list:

TitanCleanMinimap OR CleanMinimap
TitanHearthStone
TitanLanguageCycle - Unfortunately all searches for this plugin have failed.
TitanSpamBlocker - Also seems to be lost, but this one isn't vital.
TitanStats - Yet again....nowhere to be found. grrr.
TitanAlarmClockWrangler - And finally, one that has disappeared.

as you can see, the number of plugins I can send you to and the ones I'd need to do myself are rather in favor of me doing a TON of work. When I can barely even understand what your one-plugin-tutorial is asking me to do what with the barely-understandably typoed instructions and the very-specific information that doesn't apply to all plugins, the work required to do this wouldn't be worth it in the end when Titan works as intended and I don't need to do anything to make sure it still works tomorrow.

Thus, I still can't use this.

lol.. This look like copy/paste of Titan panel. Titan FTW!

That would be great, and I'm glad to comment and add my own ideas and thoughts. I'm sorta waiting on using this until after the holidays when I will have time to make my mods compatible and see if this bar is really going to enhance my setup or completely mess it up. Sure would be nice to have a Titan style addon that isn't dead or taken over by people with an impure vision for the addon okay, enough rambling....
