    Ara Broker XP  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: r11
    by: vikingking, Aranarth

    Version R8 and higher has been tested with Classic, BfA Retail, and the Shadowlands Beta.
    You only need the current version for all your XP reporting needs.

    This data broker plugin provides an ASCII bar representing XP: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

    Click the ASCII bar to display config menu. You can change:
    - the pattern used in the ASCII bar (default is |).
    - the length / number of pattern repetitions (default is 30).
    - colors for earned, rested and remaining xp.
    - the thousand separator / the character used between groups of 3 digits for better reading or large numbers.

    • Updated toc to 90001
    • Code cleanup, fix indentation in code

    • The thousand separator defaults to a comma if your client is enUS, or a space otherwise.

    r2
    • Added variable "thousandSeparator": in the tooltip, it's the character between groups of 3 digits. Defaults to " ".
    • Added the LDB attribute "type" (set to "data source") for better recognition & display integration.

    That is awesome. I hate not having any visual indicator, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Excited about trying it later. Thank you, Ara!

    I was just saying to myself that I needed some kind of visual display on my progress. I have an XP remaining Broker display, but sometimes it's nice to see my progress and I didn't really want to set up XPBarNone again.

    I have one question, however. Are the length ticks a representation of the Blizzard XP bar bubbles?

    Thanks for this.

    This is a really nice looking XP display. It's both simple and elegant, very nicely done.

    Edit: Spaces for 3-decimal separation aren't the easiest to read for a lot of people. You may want to make it an option (at least in the lua, a simple "local formatting = 1" and "if(formatting = 1 or nil) then" option would work) rather than making people mess with string patterns if they want it displayed differently.
    I found your edit rather confusing It seems you mix the format of tooltip values with the string pattern of the bar.

    For the 3-decimal thing, I tried many rendering and felt that it was the best visual cue. Im open to other ideas, but I will go hard on them, as most aren't viable for quick glance

    EDIT: now that I think of it, I should have added an extra space to separate raw values from percent values
