GadgetsOn'Stick

Version: r4
by: Dawn [More]

Gadgets on a Stick

Granted, this won't affect your riding speed, like carrot on a stick. But It'll make your characters life easier! Gadgets on a Stick is a very lightweight, highly modular, yet pretty customizable collection of small things anyone needs, combined in one addon.


Features
* config via config.lua
* auto repair and selling of grey crap
* buy a full stack of some vendor crap with ALT + click (to fill up reagents, fast ...)
* sets camera distance to max (if you zoom out...)
* allows you to change your screenshots quality (via config)
* filter error messages you can add exceptions via /error
* adds the following slash commands
- reload ui = /rl
- ready check = /rc
- Need to speak with a GM? = /ticket or /gm
- calendar = /cl or /calendar
* several Gadgets (think of modules...)



Gadgets
* minimap (middle mouse click on the map allows you to choose your tracking type, right click will open your calendar)
* zone text
* bags
* money
* fps
* latency and memory
* clock (including wintergrasp timer and calendar on click)
* durability
* compass
* gold
* tooltip
* viewport (including customizable texture overlay, colors, etc.)



General Gadget Notes
* gadgets (including minimap) are moveable, by holding down ALT
* gadgets can be enabled/disabled separately
* gadgets can either have a custom set border color or a class colored border
- it only loads what you choose to load, saves memory and displays only what you want to see
* you can choose to show/hide the border and backgrounds of gadgets
* gadgets can be set to show/hide on mouseover separately, except minimap (always visible)
* gadget positions are saved in your characters layout-local.txt
- you can either edit this file or delete it, to change/reset positions you don't want or messed up (you have to log out if you want to edit/delete the file)

note: Gadgets will not trigger mouseover fading, you have to mouseover the top edge of your screen.



FAQ

1. Where'z teh options?
Take a look into your World of Warcraft folder: Interface\Addons\dSidebar\config.lua. You can open this file with Wordpad, Notepad or any other text editor. I recommend Notepad++ - it's free, google it. The config is fairly well commented, just take your time to read through it.

note: If you change anything in config.lua, you have to reload your interface, either via /rl or a relog.



ToDo
* fix minimap sticking to the mouse while moving - for now, place the map, stop moving and type /rl
* fix tooltip error when you mouse over a player in a vehicle unit...

Config
The layout's setup code below can be found in "AddOns\GadgetsOnAStick\config.lua". You can edit and save your changes via Wordpad, Notepad or something similar. I recommend getting Notepad++ (it's a free editor, google it).

* fix Boss levels shown as "-1"
* added an option to disable tooltip fading (enabled by default)

planned tooltip features are:
- border color based on item quality, etc.
- maybe add power bar (possibly mana bar only) and power value
...

* fixed wintergrasp bartimer's frame strata
* cleaned up some code
* replaced some OnUpdate with OnEvent code - thanks to Vrul :)
* compass gadget is now deactivated by default
* removed an unused texture and the pixel fonts from the package...

It's still working fine without tooltip and minimap!
You don't need to be something like a lua-king to work that out. And please, Xarl, stop playing the spoiled brat in here. Thanks

I released this because you were bugging me for another viewport addon. This was intended to be a personal addon in the first place. You could have simply used rFov or something similar at any point.

This addon was an experiment, it didn't turn out to well. I didn't see a reason to keep it alive.

Anything released here is free. However, it costs the author(s) time to create it.

No author has the duty to update/maintain any kind of addon at any time.

It's no "habit" to do that, it's a decision. It's impossible to make it right for everyone and I'm sure as hell that there are a crap lot people out there that couldn't care less for whether I update this addon or not.

There are several different ways to ask for an update and/or to motivate an author. You took the wrong road.

If a user doesn't want to get into basic coding, it's his decision and that's still no reason to bug someone who did the work in the first place in such a manner.


So with all humble respect, your "thoughts" are bullshit. And I couldn't care less about them. I just can't believe you actually came back to post something like that AGAIN. That's the only reason you get a response at all. Even though that's not what you wanted, anyway.

It would be really appreciated if this was updated. I used this with OUF_Nivea and it was excellent. Thank you.

Hey Dawn,

new Patch new error time:

Code:
[2010/10/13 19:22:13-7204-x1]: GadgetsOnAStick\modules\minimap.lua:73: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
GadgetsOnAStick\modules\minimap.lua:73: in function <Interface\AddOns\GadgetsOnAStick\modules\minimap.lua:18>

  ---
Buffs aint showing besides the Map anymore only the Blizz Buff row and guess they took the Hide Blizzard Clock out since it Shows below the Map and i checked the Blizz Settings and cant find any Hide there anymore.

Thats all so far

Hi Dawn,

How can i get rid of it again.
Never changed anything on my UI.


Edit:

Now i even did a re install of my WTF since i think its in there but it did not go away. I even did a reinstall of the full Addon and no fix

Hey

I have a small issue with GadgetsOnStick. My Durability and Compass overlap each other slightly.
Do you (or some one else) have any suggestions as to why this is? and what I could do to fix it?
I currently set my Compass to only show on hover, because of this. But itīs really a shame....

Thanks a bunch for some great AddOns. You are a true artist

Edit: the idea, some one here suggested, about adding a calculator is quite good actualy. it could be really handy at times....
