Shadowed Unit Frames

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)

Donations
Donations are not required, but are appreciated!

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.

Currently released:

Smoothbars for unit frames
Trinket based tags
Damn Unit Sounds, not technically a SUF module it will restore the Blizzard sounds on targeting, focusing or toggling the PVP flag

There's no tag for showing general aggro status but I should really add one. speak: Will look into it, but it sounds like a Blizzard thing more than SUF. borbies: Happiness coloring is done using the friendly, neutral, hostile colorings in /suf -> Colors, but there is no separate option. You might want to try "Show curable only" it might work for you, but I'm not positive on that. /suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Widget Size, change weighting on the health bar. KowalskiAvesky: The purple can pretty much only be the hostile color which you set to purple, I'm not planning on adding a separate option for setting aggro color right now. Deficit will be red, but it's going to keep the minus sign for the time being.

I'm assuming this approach won't work if I am already using the health bar left text for something else? It gave me an idea though, I setup the empty bar text to display above the bar, then shrunk the empty bar down to the minimum size. I tried setitng it to 0 which worked, but then when I relogged the bar text wouldn't display, so I had to change it to the smallest setting I could find above 0. It'll do for now, but it'd be really nice if there was a less hacky approach to it that didn't involve giving up my existing bar texts. Other than that I love how easily configurable everything is.

I also am trying to figure out if there's any way to disable the rank display in the castbar. I can't seem to find a spot where it can be configured. I don't really need to see the rank of spell cast if there's a way to disable it.

Thank you for your help!

That's what the "Text Management" option in /suf does, adds new tag text. You can hide the rank text if you get the version at http://github.com/Shadowed/ShadowedUnitFrames

Sorry I'm an idiot, I missed the part where you said to turn on advanced before so I was thinking you were talking about the text tags. I got it working perfectly now thank you! I also downloaded the new version with the spell rank disable so I'm good to go!

One other thing that may already be in there but I haven't seen, is there a way to have different options (primarily buffs/debuffs) displayed depending on whether the target is friendly or hostile? When healing a target I find I'm interested in filtering different buffs and debuffs than I am on a target I'm fighting.

frenzy20 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	After playing with SUF some more, I've run into a few more things that seem like bugs: The first: I'm trying to figure out how to show the raid frames all the time, I checked the box under Units -> Raid -> Raid -> "Show party as raid", I thought this would do what I wanted, but it didn't seem to have any effect. The main reason for this is I use my raid frames to see debuffs that need to be cleansed on my party(via the grid aura indicator functionality). If this is not what that option is for, is there any other way such as a /script command or code modification to always show the raid frames? The second, in SUF Arena: Setting it to highlight focus/target doesn't work.

Cross for a healer, shield for a tank, sword for dps. I think it would be useful to see them on SUF as well, to know at once who is the tank/healer in a PUG assembled by this tool.

But it is something I'll add. frenzy20: You can't, I have some plans for raid frame improvements, but those are on hold until I have more time. I'll look into highlight not working for SUF arena. Zeherah: There isn't, filters are meant to be simple as the aura options in general.

...

The problem with the raid frames not showing in party with the option checked was a matter of a reloadui and selecting "Show player in party" under party options. Also had to change some visibility settings, but everything seems to work now. Reloadui didn't fix the highlight issue in the arena frames.

You might want to try "Show curable only" it might work for you, but I'm not positive on that.

/suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Widget Size, change weighting on the health bar.

-That sucks

I would like to officially request this. I like my pet's 'happy' color to be the same as mine for a good clean look, but I don't want all friendly NPC's to have the same color as hunter class color.

-"Show curable only" is only a feature for debuffs which is nice for cleansing/abolishing the raid as a healer. I am looking for something to only show Purge'able/Tranq'able BUFFS on my target.

-That worked. Thank you!

i dont think that the wowapi returns wether you can use purge or tranqu-shot for buffs. They also wont return spellid, so keeping a list for removable buffs wont help really.

Thought i should point out party target highlighting is very bugged and mostly never works. You can get it working sometimes by spamming the checkbox on and off and mashing the f2-5 keys.

The beta version also has a new [incheal:name] tag that will show incoming health if there is any, name otherwise. It will not however, show it in green. moda618: You can't, the "Aura border style" in /suf -> General is the closet you can get to changing thickness. Last edited by Shadowed : 11-18-09 at 07:00 PM.

I'm not really sure how it works in Pitbull 4... but it works using the "Default Buffs, mine" filter. On friendly NPC's I see buffs cast by myself (ie Pack or Nature Aspect), and on enemies I see Magic and Enrage buffs (the types that I can dispel).

SUF alpha build 5dd1ed1 (one before latest 53a1036), WoW 3.2.2.10505 live, 5-man party inside Halls of Lightning heroic (no vehicles involved other than the flight to Ulduar summoning stone). One hunter in party ("Character 1" in the dump below), pet showed up fine initially as a party pet frame.

But later on there was a bad-pull trash wipe between the last and second-last bosses. Coming back, the hunter had his pet out; never saw the party pet frame for it again during the run.

Code:
