Runevolution  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.5.1
by: Dagma [More]

Version 1.5.1 - Updated for game version 4.2. Just a toc update, really.

To use the options menu, instead of just text commands, you'll need some addon that provides LibDataBroker feeds. I suggest Fortress, but there are many others that would also work fine.

Runevolution is a small rune tracking addon. The intent is to provide a "stack" of your ready runes, so they pile up on your screen in the order you used them. This means your rotation is reflected in the rune positions on your screen.

Cooldowns are tracked by moving the runes towards the "stack" of ready runes. Therefore the order that runes will be ready is also available on the screen.

It is easiest to see what is going on via a movie: http://www.wegame.com/watch/Runevolution_demo_v1_0_5/

You can fiddle with positioning, size, and the distance runes on cooldown travel. Type "/runev" for details.

Commands:
/runev x # : adjust x position
/runev y # : adjust y position
/runev config : toggle configuration mode
/runev cooldown # : maximum cooldown length in rune widths
/runev size # : pixel size of runes
/runev showooc : toggle out-of-combat visibility of runes
/runev showrp : toggle visibility of runic power
/runev showback : toggle rune backgrounds
/runev fixrp : toggle fixed/floating runic power
/runev diseases : toggle display of target diseases
/runev diseasepos : move diseases below/above rune line
/runev alldiseases : show diseases cast by others
/runev reset : reset the order of runes
/runev order #,#,#,#,#,# : set order of runes; 1=far left, 6=far right
/runev hidebliz : hide the default built-in rune frame
/runev mode : set rune animation mode
/runev textures : set rune textures

Version 1.5.0 - Updated for game version 4.0.1. I'm really not sure this addon is useful anymore, given the new rune system. But here it is, anyway.

1.4.10 - Fix for occasional error on zoning in to an instance or being rezzed inside an instance, while using floating runic power number (as opposed to fixed runic power).

v1.4.6 - Bugfix for the location save error described in the comments.

v1.4.5 - Bugfixes: (1) Position saves correctly now. (2) Cooldown visibility saves correctly. (3) Some Chinese localization added.

v1.4.4 - (1) A few cosmetic bug fixes and performance tweaks. (2) Added shift-right-click method of toggling on/off specific diseases, debuffs, and buffs. Enter custom layout mode to use. Added a number of standard spells: Horn of Winter, Gargoyle, Unholy Strength, Freezing Fog, Killing Machine. Each can be toggled on/off and moved within the custom layout.

v1.4.3 - Minor rune error bugfix. After too much boss dummy smacking, managed to replicate it. There is still a rare and hard to replicate cosmetic bug, in which the ready runes are offset incorrectly. When I can manage to reliably replicate this error, I'll get it fixed. But seems playable, now.

v1.4.2 - Sure frame rate fix. Lots of internal optimizations, including a new algorithm for tracking runes. Much nicer on memory now. Handles death more elegantly than before. Another attempt at disease localization.

v1.4.0 - Fixed a memory leak. Also added a custom layout mode that allows you to specify arbitrary arrangements and cooldown paths, by dragging around a set of anchors. Choose custom mode and turn on configuration mode to arrange.

v1.3.1 - Possible disease tracking localization fix. I can't test localization, so users of non-English clients will have to let me know if disease tracking works for them, now. Archive should work with WoWI Updater, now.

v1.3.0 - Added multiple rune textures. Fixed runic power state now centers the runic power and disables the white marker bar.

v1.2.0 - Runes can animate in a number of directions and configurations, now. Data Broker plug-in allows easier access to options.

v1.1.1 - A few minor cosmetic fixes; updated disease tracking for patch 3.1; no more annoying Howling Blast cooldown icon.

v1.1.0 - Finally fixed all the problems with odd spaces between runes, frozen runes, jumbled runes, etc. For the record, Blizzard's event system for runes was at fault, so I had to stop relying upon it, to fix the addon. Instead, the addon now polls the runes constantly. This will create a small performance hit, but I haven't noticed it on my system.

v1.0.7 - Two new options. (1) /runev alldiseases: toggle showing/hiding diseases cast by other death knights. (2) /runev hidebliz: hide the default built-in rune frame.

v1.0.6 - Bugfix: rune cloning on death is gone now. That was a weird one. Now feature: can toggle disease runes to appear below or above the rune line. Use "/runev diseasepos" to toggle.

v1.0.5 - Added optional display of diseases on target (Frost Fever and Blood Plague), as well as Unholy Blight on player.

v1.0.4 - New: (1) Optional dark outlines for the runes, to enhance visibility. (2) "/runev fixrp" to lock runic power display at far left. Bugfix: Runes now hide when hiding UI (alt-Z).

v1.0.3 - Bugfix: postion of runic power updates without UI reload now. Current values of settings show when using /runev.

v1.0.2 - Added optional runic power display on far left of runes. Added minor rune pulse when cooldown finishes.

v1.0.1 - Added option to hide runes when out of combat. Toggle with "/runev showooc". Also some minor bug fixes and code refinements. "/runev reset" much more effective now.

v1.0.0 - Initial release
Optional Files (0)

This is a really neat idea. My only concern is that you have no point of reference when all your runes are on cooldown, so you don't really know when they'll be available. Definitely trying it out though!

Good point. I personally have it positioned so that the cooldown ends at the midpoint of my screen, so I haven't needed another indicator.

But I can understand that if it was placed someplace else, it might be hard to tell. I'll get around to placing an optional marker of some kind, perhaps.

Excellent add-on -- exactly what I have been looking to find for runes...

...any chance of adding an option to hide the runes when out-of-combat (etc.)?

Done. Version 1.0.1, which I just uploaded, has an option to do this.

"/runev showooc" will toggle it.

Version 1.0.1 shows a little mark to indicate the end of cooldown, but only when there are no ready runes. This should solve that problem.

This is clever. I'll have to try it out.

Awesome implementation!

Just one problem. when I move the runes, the runic power counter does not also move.

Rather... it doesn't move at all along the Y axis, but along the X, it jumps to the right as I gain runic power, and then jumps back to where it started (upon first logon) on the X.

I think I fixed this in v1.0.3.

It did! Thank!

I have another request, though:
Can you change the way the stuff is displayed so that when I remove everything from the screen via ALT-Z (like for screenshots and stuff), the display of the runes and rune power also goes away?

Thank you.

Very nice idea, I love the looks and implementation.

One question, is it supposed to hide the blizzard rune frame, 'cause mine is still showing.

Thanks

That's news to me. I'll see if it's an easy fix.

It is NOT supposed to hide the default Blizzard rune frames.

That is probably a very easy option to add, though. If so, I'll add it in a later version.

Not a huge issue, I can probably find a way to hide those, just it would make it a lot easier if this covered that part

Thanks in advance

Best rune mod out there but there are a couple problems I'd like to point out:

I've found that every time I am riding/running around, and a mob aggros me, the runes displace themselves.

There should be a toggle for how visible the runes are. In light areas I can hardly see the runes.

Lastly, you should also be able to toggle whether or not the runes travel to the left like they do when they are on cooldown. I kinda liked the way the default ones stayed in their place and had a circular cooldown.

Otherwise, wonderful mod.

Easy, just edit line 66 to 69:
Code:
local _,engClass = UnitClass("player")
if engClass ~= "DEATHKNIGHT" then
  return
 else
  RuneFrame:Hide()
end
so long and merry xmas
