Quse Boss Styles

Version: v1.52

by: Qupe [More]

These are Boss-Mod stylings for

(although will work for anything, really)

This file includes DBM and BigWigs skinning that match Quse UI - anything with a pixel border!
* Both styles are standalone, the necessary media files are included in the download *

-----------

Skins are based on Wildbreath and Haleth's DBM style and !ninwigs by Nin. Credits belong to the appropriate authors and my thanks go to them!

HOW TO:
- Drag and drop your desired boss mod skin into your addon folder.
- Bananas!

NOTE:
- Fonts are hardcoded in their lua files to the pixel font that matches QuseUI. If you wish to change them, search for "rondaseven" and change the font path to whatever you prefer.
- DBM dummy bars in the options window will look funky, and the style won't stick properly (in test mode only) if you press "Drag Me" or start test bars more than once while they're running. This doesn't affect the style, just a visual bug while test mode/drag bars are up.

-----------

Any help is appreciated - and not at all required.

I do this for fun but if you enjoy my interface and would like to show your appreciation, click below:

Yes, but you dont need to do frame:GetName(), since you already have the name declared as the local name.

This is was basically the same problem I ran into with Ocu's skin; the bars were the correct height, bg/border texture and color but the text and statusbar were all default DBM (or whatever the options were set to).

What you can do is cancel out the function after you have set your stuff, like this:

Lua Code:

text:SetFont(font, size, outline)
text.SetFont = function() end

This is a short example of what I use

Is there any example you could direct me towards? I really don't know how to write anything from the ground up; I'm just modifying existing code for both of the styles.

The DBM style has given me the most problems. I had originally used the addon called !dbm by Ocu, which included the bar style .xml and DBT.lua file (had issues with it recently for some reason, not sure why). Tried modifying the dbm style Haleth includes in FreeUI and its essentially the only one I could get working.

I guess I was under the impression Haleth's was a reskin, and Ocu's was a replacement (since Ocu's was a replacement DBT.lua and DBT.xml).

Please correct me if I'm wrong - because I honestly don't know what the difference is, and how to apply a skin without requiring overwriting of DBM's core files (ie - plopping a DBT.lua file in the download and requiring the users to overwrite the DBM-Core files).

I'll drop DBM back in and look at it.

Probably get the BigWigs style in at the same time.

E: Bah, I forgot a file!

ya, thats what i experienced too. its just weird.
like i wrote earlier today, i fixed the problem for myself (1980res) by adjusting bar height and font size manually. works like a charm and isnt really difficult to do.

respective lines are : 1127, 1137 and 1139 in bars.lua
(ingame scaling: 1.0)

maybe people can work with that as long as quse is working out a masterplan

Most scales do work for me but i do have the same issue sometimes, just gotta play around with the slider and find one that works out for you, the odd part is that if i use testmode and spam so it shows me 10 bars. 1 or 2 of those has its border off by a bit and the rest is just fine.

Noticed a lot of the offset variables were set to weird numbers, tried nice even numbers to see if it made any difference (I'm not really lua experience enough to know if this would make a difference).

Got the BigWigs layout going, should be good to go as soon as I upload it.

great. cant wait.

figured out what caused the problem with the weird border look btw. ...
scaling problem. could have thought about that earlier. its just working at 1,0... anything above will screw it up. problem with that is people on a higher solution will probably need to change bar and font size.

just wanted to let you know. thanks again

He just PM'd me the files, I'm getting to work on it now.
