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).

Code:

r4
* fixed tooltip lag on dead mobs

r3
* removed wintergrasp statusbar, time to wintergrasp is still available on mouseover!
* some tooltip tweaks
* fix Boss levels shown as "-1"
* added an option to disable tooltip fading (enabled by default)
* added an option to turn off auto repair and auto selling of grey junk

note:
* config settings are currently set to my settings (disabled viewport, ...)


r2
* added tooltip gadget - switch this off if you want to use another tooltip addon
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...


r1

r4 should fix the tooltip lag, couldn't test it a lot, though. Tell me if it still happens on dead/dieing mobs.

Awesome mod though I would recommend adding 4 small features

#1 A logbook for the last 10 whispers
#2 A hover over guild listing like the one on Fubar
#3 a Hover over Friends listing also like the one on Fubar

Maybe in the future add broker support.

Suggestion

Very nice gadgets =)
I would suggest adding a small toggleable calculator into it also, it would be really helpful.

Can you explain when it happens or when it's more likely to happen or does it happen all the time no matter what? I need to figure out which part of the tooltip code is causing it. Do you have it anchored to the mouse or a sticky anchor?

Only when a mob has lost som hp, not sure how much.
I have a sticky anchor.

Got a spot in an icc 25 raid ( all thrash was cleared). The lag started as soon as the first boss lost som hp.
When he was dead the lag stoped, i disabled the tooltip after that and no lags.
I will try with a clean install of your amazing addon and see

Clean install won't help it's an issue with one of the features, I suppose the health value/display and/or of dead/rip/ghost.

I recommend to disable the tooltip for now, until I find the time to look into it. Sorry.

Love your addon! It has everything I want, however, I had to stop using it. Same issue as others mentioned, the lag. Unfortunate, hope you can sort out what the problem is

The tooltip module needs a complete rewrite. However, like I said before, you could disable the tooltip via config and still use everything else.

Using your addon to and w/o any lag, only thing i want to know is how to move the tooltip that pops up when hovering over the ms. Is there any change your gonna write a guild/friend list module or is that to much to ask...?
