Summary
IceHUD is a highly configurable and customizable HUD addon in the spirit of DHUD, MetaHUD, and others designed to keep your focus in the center of the screen where your character is.

What it is
Player and target health and mana bars, casting and mirror bars, pet health and mana bars, druid mana bar in forms, extensive target info, ToT display, and much more

Short feature list

  • Lots of different bar shapes and patterns to make the HUD look like you want
  • Class-specific modules such as combo point counters, Slice'n'dice timers, druid mana trackers, Eclipse bar, Holy Power monitoring, Warlock shard tracking, and more
  • Target-of-target bars, Crowd Control timers, Range Finders, Threat meters, and plenty of other helpful modules
  • Lots of DogTag-supported strings for extreme customizability (with the option to completely disable DogTag support for those that dislike the CPU toll that it takes)
  • Cast lag indicator (optional)
  • Alpha settings for in combat, target selected, etc.
  • Fully customizable bars and counters capable of tracking buff/debuff applications on any unit, spell/ability cooldowns, and the health/mana of any unit you specify. The custom health/mana bars will even work with crazy unit specifications like "focustargettargetfocustarget" if you want!
  • Highly configurable (can totally re-arrange all bars, change text display, etc.)

Slash commands
/icehud - opens the configuration UI to tweak any setting
/icehudCL - command-line access to tweak IceHUD settings (for use with macros, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I hide the default Blizzard player, target unit frames and party unit frames?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, click "Player Health" or "Target Health," and check "Hide Blizzard Frame" and/or "Hide Blizzard Party Frame". (NOTE: before version 1.3.7, the player/target unitframes were hidden by default. Follow the same steps to enable them if desired)

2. How do I turn off click-targeting and menus on the player bar?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, click "Player Health," un-check "Allow click-targeting." Note that as of v1.3, there is now an option to allow click-targeting out of combat, but turn it off while in combat.

3. How do I hide the HUD or change its transparency based on combat, targeting, etc.?
Type /icehud, check the "Transparency Settings" section. Nearly any combination of states should be available for tweaking.

4. Even if the rest of the HUD is transparent, the health percentages seem to show up. Why?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, expand "Player Health," click "Text Settings," look for options about keeping the lower/upper text blocks alpha locked. If the text is alpha locked, it will not drop below 100%, otherwise it respects its bar's transparency setting. Player Health/Mana, Target Health/Mana, and pet bars should all have these options.

5. Is there any way to see combo points for Rogues and Druids or sunder applications for Warriors?
Yes, check the "Combo Points" and "Sunders" modules in the /icehud configuration panel. (Note that these modules may not show up if you're not of the appropriate class to see them. They should be present for their respective classes, however.)

6. What's this thing at the top of the player's cast bar and threat bar? It's darker than the rest of the bar. (and may be colored red)
That's the Cast Lag Indicator (or the aggro-pull warning for the Threat bar) that shows you when you can start casting a new spell and still be able to finish the current one (based on your lag to the server). You can disable this in the Player Cast Bar settings under the /icehud configuration screen.

7. Is there a bar that shows breath underwater and if so, how can I adjust it?
Yes, this is called the MirrorBarHandler in the module settings portion of the /icehud configuration. It's called that because it mirrors casting bar behavior, displays more than just breathing (fatigue is one example), and that's what Blizzard calls it. It can be moved/adjusted/resized/etc. as with any other module.

8. There's a long green bar that sometimes shows up below everything else. What is it?
That would be the TargetOfTarget module. That module is available for people who don't want the full ToT health/mana bars, but do want some sort of ToT representation on the screen. It's configurable through the /icehud module settings.

9. IceHUD needs a bar or counter for buff/debuff X!
Good news: as of v1.5, you can create as many bars and counters for any buffs or debuffs you want! Type /icehud, select one of the custom module types in the drop-down at the top of the settings page, and press the Create button. This will create a custom module and automatically select it in the list. It is highly recommend that you rename the bar as soon as possible to avoid any confusion later.

10. How do I turn off the resting/combat/PvP/etc. icons on the player or target?
Type /icehud, expand Module Settings, expand PlayerHealth (or TargetHealth for targets), click Icon Settings. You can control every aspect of the icons there including location, visibility, draw order, etc.

11. How do I turn off buffs/debuffs on the player's or target's bar?
Type /icehud, expand Module Settings, expand PlayerInfo (or TargetInfo for targets), select Buff Settings or Debuff Settings, and un-check "show buffs" (or "show debuffs").

12. How do I turn off these big huge bars that pulse whenever one of my abilities procs?
This isn't IceHUD - it's Blizzard's new Spell Alerts they added in 4.0.1. Interface options => Combat => "Show Spell Alerts" to turn them off or search for a mod to tweak their positioning/size/etc.

13. I don't like where some of the bars are placed. How do I put the health/mana on the left/right?
Type /icehud, expand Module Settings, expand whatever module you want to move (e.g. PlayerHealth, PlayerMana), and adjust the "Side" and "Offset" settings. "Side" controls whether it's on the left or the right and "Offset" controls how far from center it is.

14. Which module displays Monk Chi power?
Prior to v1.11.2, this module was called HarmonyPower. Harmony was the original name for Chi back when 5.0 was in beta, so I used Blizzard's name for it while I was developing for Cataclysm. IceHUD v1.11.2 changed this module to be called Chi.

15. How do I add commas/periods into big numbers like health?
If you have DogTags enabled, you can open the Text Settings for the module in question and add SeparateDigits() around the tag you're trying to split up. To display Health/MaxHealth with commas, use: [(SeparateDigits(HP):HPColor "/" SeparateDigits(MaxHP):HPColor):Bracket]. To use periods instead of commas, use: [(SeparateDigits(HP, "."):HPColor "/" SeparateDigits(MaxHP, "."):HPColor):Bracket]. Use the /dog help menu to build your own similar tags for Mana, etc.

16. The countdown timers on buffs and debuffs completely obscure the icon. How do I disable the timer text?
IceHUD is not responsible for this countdown text and cannot control it. The 6.0 patch added an option in the game client to display counts on top of cooldowns. Look at the Action Bars menu under the game's Interface options. You can turn the text on or off there. Mods like OmniCC or CooldownCount will generally give you the same feature but allow you to control when, where, and how the text shows up.

17. When I rotate some modules 90 degrees, such as the castbar, the bar appears to wiggle up and down as it fills or empties. How do I fix this?
This is a side effect of the animation API that I'm co-opting to force a rotation without having to provide duplicates of every bar texture in the mod. Any bar moving sufficiently quickly and updating rapidly will cause this. IceHUD is intended to be a vertically-oriented mod, so the rotation feature is there for people who are willing to accept the side effects that come with it. My suggestion is to use one of the many horizontally-oriented bar mods out there if you're wanting horizontal bars. Quartz is a good castbar replacement that you can use and disable IceHUD's built-in castbar, for example.

18. How do I get rid of the bars that showed up beneath the player in the 7.0 patch?
Blizzard added a "Personal Resource Display" feature in the 7.0 game client. You can disable it in the Game options -> Interface -> Names -> Personal Resource Display.

19. Why is there no target castbar for Classic?
The Classic game client doesn't offer a reliable way to show castbars for anyone except the player. IceHUD doesn't support the type of inaccurate guessing at combat log details that would be required to get a semi-useful target castbar.

v1.14.9:

- Fix Low Threshold to be usable even when Color By Health/Mana % is disabled. (ticket #334)

v1.14.8:

- Fix Color By Health % to work with Low Threshold Color option. Previously, if Low Threshold was set, the color was always either MaxHealth/MaxMana or MinHealth/MinMana, it would never be colored by health %. Now if both are set, it will scale by health % until it reaches the low threshold, at which point it will switch to the Min color.
- Fix Low Threshold color and flashing to work at the same percentage. Previously these were slightly different such that it would start flashing at 40% but not turn to the Min color until 39.9999%, for example.

v1.14.7:

- Add option to scale absorb bar by the unit's maximum health.

v1.14.6:

- Add ability for buff/debuff watchers to only display when the specified buff/debuff is missing. This also adds the ability to require that the given unit exists. So if you had Unit set to Target, Display mode set to Missing, and Only if unit exists checked, you'd show the bar if you have a target and they don't have the given buff/debuff.
- Don't flash the castbar for instant-cast spells that the player didn't cast (such as internal quest spells).
- Add DruidEnergy module (disabled by default). This module will show the player's Energy level if they're a Druid and currently shapeshifted to a non-energy-using form (eligible forms are configurable by the user).

v1.14.5:

- Fix castbar flashing. There are controls on the player castbar module for flashing when a spell succeeds or fails, and separate controls for flashing when an instant cast completes. Those were broken, but now work again.
- Add "@" after the number when the Combo Points module is in Numeric mode, "Show Charged points" is enabled, and the current combo point is charged.
- Fix Charged point support in the ComboPointsBar module.

v1.14.4:

- Update TOC for 10.0.2

v1.14.3:

- Add Spell ID support for aura tracking.
- Add Evoker support.
- Add Empowered Casting (hold-to-cast levels) support.

v1.14.2:

- Fix CC and Invuln modules not showing immediately when they should.

v1.14.1:

v1.14.0:

I don't know, I've never heard of this bug. I will look into it.

On the beta, whenever I enter an arena with a death knight, I get this error:

Code:
[2008/11/02 20:28:46-5-x1]: IceHUD-3\modules\Runes.lua:282: attempt to concatenate local 'name' (a nil value)
Runes seem to function outside arenas just fine. Not confirmed whether it's just the new areans or not. Will let you know if I find out.

*Edit*
Nope, periodically happens in any arenas.

Runes seem to function outside arenas just fine. Not confirmed whether it's just the new areans or not. Will let you know if I find out.

*Edit*
Nope, periodically happens in any arenas.
Thanks for the testing. I will try out some arenas on my DK and see what it is.

Well, my DK is only 60 and the level 60 skirmish arena stuff is empty, so I can't get in one to test . I will try to see if battlegrounds have the same bug or not.

edit: yeah, those are empty at 60 too...I wonder if it'd be easier if I just sent you a development version to test this out with or if I could get a hold of a level 80 DK to test with.

Arkive - try out this alpha version and let me know if you see any issues at all (runes not showing up when they should, errors, runes showing up when they shouldn't, etc.) in normal combat and in arenas/bg's. This version also fixes a bug with the runes module showing all runes as active as soon as a fight ended, and it has a performance update for DK's runic power bar.

No queues popping this morning. I'll try this evening after work. One thing I did notice, and I'm not sure if this is normal, but I have th opacity set to 0% except when in combat, and when I enter combat, my health/mana/etc show up as soon as I enter combat, but the runes don't seem to show up until I've actually attacked or engaged an enemy.

I got a chance to try a few (~5) and I didn't get the error on any of them. Appears licked, but it's a small sample to say for sure.

Text for player doesn't clear when bars clear and lock upper/lower text checked

If I set the player health and mana bars to disappear when I have no target, the corresponding text does not disappear if I lock the upper and lower text to 100% alpha. The bars will disappear, leaving the numbers in the normal location. If I turn off lock lower/upper text alpha, the text disappears when the bar disappears.

Thanks, I'll keep these changes in alpha for the time being until the full Wrath release is a bit closer .

This should be fixed in the latest alpha (r293).

I think you posted this exact same thing on the curse page for my mod, so I'll quote my reply from there.

That's the point of the "lock alpha" feature...it locks the text alpha regardless of bar alpha. There's an FAQ for it and everything.
What you're describing is a feature working as it is intended to. That's what "lock 100% alpha" means...it's locked at 100% alpha. Again, the FAQ section of my mod page(s) answers a question very similar to this. Believe it or not, those really are frequently-asked questions .

I would agree with you if it weren't for the fact that the target bars and text do not follow the same behavior. If I clear my target, both the target bars and their text disappear with the same settings. I guess my expectation is that if the bars disappear for target or player, so should the text for both target and player. Right now, only the target text disappears when the target bars disappeared by clearing my target. Yes, the texts for target health and mana are also locked at 100% alpha like the corresponding player texts are. If this is truly your intent, then I apologize for not reading the FAQ closely enough to pick this up. I would not have complained if the target text had remained as well when the bars disappeared - it would be consistent albeit annoying behavior.

EDIT: I reread the FAQ. I guess since the player health/power data is always there (unlike target which it can be cleared), the text is technically functioning as designed. When the target is cleared, the health/power data is null and therefore can't be seen (nil data @ 100% alpha is still nil and not readily visible). I would like to therefore suggest a small feature request: allow the player text to be at 100% alpha when the bars are present, but if the bars go due to clearing target, the text goes as well. It could be an overriding text box just for player health/power since that data is always present. I know it's a lot - dare I say wall of - text for a minor nitpick, but it is kinda annoying. Otherwise, it is a great mod - keep up the excellent work.

Smuv,

I think that option would confuse the average person (like me :P). Just my two cents.

This is correct. When targets are cleared, all modules related to the target are completely disabled. I understand what you're asking for, but that's completely counter to the "lock alpha" idea altogether. If you don't want the text to always display, then un-check "lock alpha" and it won't. The option already exists; there's no sense in adding more options that do the exact same thing only with very slightly different conditions.

Would it possible to add the option to place buffs/debuffs of your target above and under the text target frame?
