FocusFrame  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.5.3
by: Tageshi [More]

FocusFrame -- Created by Tageshi


---------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHAT IS "FocusFrame"?
---------------------------------------------------------------

FocusFrame is very simple addon to show your focus.

The frame looks almost exactly same as Blizzard's TargetFrame;
It provide following features.
- Click to target your focus or your focus's target.
- Shows your focus's health and mana.
- Shows your focus's target.
- Shows cast bar of your focus.
- Supports Click-Casting such as Clique addon by utilizing ClickCastFrames.
- Movable by dragging the title tab.
- Supports MobHealth.


---------------------------------------------------------------
2. WHAT IS "focus"?
---------------------------------------------------------------


The "focus" is a new feature of WoW API 2.0.
Basically you can use "focus" as a second target.
It works in similar way as your real Target
and allows you to use DOUBLE targets at the same time. (essentially)

From API 2.0 Changes:
> * There is a new unit "focus" which behaves like target,
> the "PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED" event is fired when it is changed,
> and you receive unit events for this unit.

> * Spell casting and targetting (including focus) are only allowed
> using secure templates or special slash commands (not /script).



---------------------------------------------------------------
3. HOW TO USE "focus"?
---------------------------------------------------------------


You can set "focus" by using new standard Keybinding "Focus Target" or
by using new macro command "/focus" with target name or target id.
Another new standard keybindings "Target Focus" will change your target
to your focus. For example, you don't need to remember which mob is
your "sheep" to poly again.

Also you can use a keyword "focus" as a target id like "player",
"target", "party2", etc.

Example1: You can assist your focus by this macro.

/assist focus

You may want to focus your main tank/main assist if you will do DPS.
Or focus raid boss and 'assist' it if you are healing.


Example2: You can cast your Earth Shock on your focus by this macro.

/cast [target=focus] Earth Shock

You can watch spell casting bar on FocusFrame.


---------------------------------------------------------------
4. COMMANDS
---------------------------------------------------------------

FocusFrame has a few slash commands;

/focusframe scale <num> (Changes size of FocusFrame window.)
/focusframe reset (Reset window position.)
/focusframe lock (Prevent dragging the frame by accident.)
/focusframe unlock (Allows to move again.)

If your screen space is limited, try smaller window size:
/focusframe scale 0.7

When you accidently lost FocusFrame from your sight, reset it's
position and FocusFrame will appear again at the center of screen.

I have this weird frame glitch happening. I think the only thing that could conflict with this addon is FluidFrames. Everything else I use is definitely unrelated.

Any idea what might cause that? It's not all the time, and a relog (not a reloadui, but a full on relog) fixes it for a little while. It seems to start happening in between focuses. I.e. I'll focus someone, everything is fine. Clear it, maybe 5-10 minutes later I focus someone else...not so fine.

There's far too much buffs now in raid, hard to see what is relevant, and what is not.
As a mage, i would like to see my debuffs, dots, and other specific things, like immune, special vulnerabilities, and so on.
I can understand this is beyond the goal of your project, but any idea about buff/debuff filtering is welcome
No filter planned.
At least I may fix it so that buff icons don't become too long horisontally.

Default Focus Frame by comparison.

Hey Tageshi, thanks for your work on Focus Frame. As JMHammer said this addon is superior to the default solution. Features like clear on death, tot, cleaner buffs/debuffs (showing stack count - this one is pretty important).

There are however 2 issues with the current version:
1. It will not display debuffs at all.
2. The buff count has gone up a lot due to the class changes. It's not uncommon to have 2 huge rows of buffs in Focus Frame right now, might be nice to have a limit on how many are displayed.

Would you perhaps consider continuing the development of your addon for WotLK/WoW3.0? Your addon has been a tremendous utility and I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say that it would be terrible to lose the functions it provides when the new patch hits in a few days.

Either way, thank you for your efforts on FocusFrame.
Yes, built-in focus frame seems not yet polished enough.
Here is update version 2.4.2.

P.S. I suggest everyone to check the built-in focus frame at least once without installing my FocusFrame. That's nice, and many ppl don't even need add-on.

a "close" button in the right-click menu to close the focus would be cool

That's a good news.

I was pondering how to arrange the party cast frame into a confortable form.
The idea of FocusFrame was a complement to the blizzard UI and it is to be usuful for everyone including PvP, 5man pve, raid PvE everything, and I was very comfortable with this idea.

On the contraly, idea of party cast frame is only for PvP and 5man pve, and I was pondering whether I should extend it to raid frame or make it super specific to 5man group.
eUF seems to be suitable for the latter idea from very fast.

I was first suggesting that you could work on some "Party Cast Bars" if you wanted to. After no replies from you I assumed that you weren't interested. Today I received a pm asking me where to get "Party Cast Bars". So I thought it might get you interested in the project if you knew that others were interested.

About X-Perl: I think it would be unwise to install a full scale UF addon with the sole purpose of showing 4 cast bars. Also - eventhough I haven't tried - I don't think I'd be satisfied with the result.
Ok.
Pondering.
