Shadowed Unit Frames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v4.4.8
by: Shadowed, Nevcairiel

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Slash commands: /shadoweduf (/suf)

Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Profiles do not have to be swapped and it is all automatic.

Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:

Player: Player, Pet, Pet Target
General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target
Party: Party, Party Pets, Party Targets, Party ToT
Raid: Raid, Raid Pet, Main Tank, Main Tank Target, Main Assist, Main Assist Target, Boss, Boss Target, Boss ToT, Main Assist ToT, Main Tank ToT
Arena: Arena, Arena Target, Arena Pets, Arena ToT
Battleground: Battleground, Battleground Target, Battleground Target

Features

  • Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
  • Incoming Heals: Supports the Blizzard Events for incoming heal data, no external libraries needed
  • Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
  • Aura Timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
  • Aura Indicators: Display colored squares or icons for certain auras on any unit
  • Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
  • Class Power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.
  • Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them
  • Range Checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
  • Exportable Layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
  • Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

I'll try to make it clear about invert, so i made screenshots. all taken on latest 3.2.9.

normal mode



now enable invert and just get always full bar



if you now disable background



if you enable override almost good, but "full" part is too bright and colored according "Health percent" policy which shouldn't happen.



And now I did dirty hack:

Code:
	if( not invert ) then
		bar:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b, ShadowUF.db.profile.bars.alpha)
		if( not bar.background.overrideColor ) then
			bar.background:SetVertexColor(r, g, b, ShadowUF.db.profile.bars.backgroundAlpha)
		end
	else
		bar.background:SetVertexColor(r, g, b, ShadowUF.db.profile.bars.alpha)
		if( not bar.background.overrideColor ) then
--			bar:SetStatusBarColor(r, g, b, ShadowUF.db.profile.bars.backgroundAlpha)
			bar:SetStatusBarColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
normal mode:



enable invert:



That how it should work. Only wrong thing that "full" part should be dark green and transparent 20% according to settings like "missing" part on normal screenshot, but my hack just does it solid black.

Hope it helps.

Still not much I can tell you Gregory, I just tried with your SV and all I did was check "Invert colors" and it flipped to a solid black bar and a colored background (inverted) like it should.

Hi,

is it possible to sort party unitframes by the name of the players? When new patch comes, all party members will also be tagged as: tank, dps, dps, dps, heals. Will your unitframe support of showing all party sorted as tank>dps>dps>dps>healer?

Thank you! Love the addon, keep up the good work!

Still loving the addon bud, just curious...is there a way to get rid of the automatic additions of castbars and combat text displays in Arenas? I got into a arena and it added all that stuff...

shUI: What do you mean added? Unless you specifically enabled it in Zone configuration, cast bars are disabled by default. Which means you likely enabled it in /suf -> Zone configuration -> Arenas- > Global -> Cast bar/Combat text

Celor: Thanks! Yes, you can in "Enabled units"

kordgreg: Enable advanced settings, then go to /suf -> Unit configuration -> Party -> Party and you'll be able to set sort order.

Under General -> Text Management you can add new Text to a Text parent, but the Delete button is greyed out, so you can’t delete them again. Having an Alignment option for the Text you add would be nice, since new texts you add seem to end up in the centre, but being able to do Left and Right as for Health/Power is preferable.

Would be nice if you could add another Text parent – Empty bar 2.

In the Text/Tags -> Classifications section it would be nice with an option that shows the actual overall group the npc belongs to, since the Class (Smart) returns Wasp, Rhino, Gorilla, Serpent etc. when you really want Beast, like you get in the tooltip if you mouseover the same target.

Edit:
Would also be nice if there was an option under Unit configuration –> Raid -> Raid, Separate raid frames cheked, for Column growth Down and a Groups per column slider, so you could get a setup that gives

G4 - G1
G5 - G2
-----G3

As opposed to

G2 – G1
G4 – G3
-----G5

Just got a little problem today.

When I connect on my character, Suf does not appear on screen and the command /suf calls for nothing except a blizz message "this command is invalid"

On connecting I get an lua message:
Code:
Message: ...ace\AddOns\ShadowedUnitFrames\ShadowedUnitFrames.lua:13: attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value)
Time: 04/04/10 14:03:21
Count: 1
Stack: [C]: ?
...ace\AddOns\ShadowedUnitFrames\ShadowedUnitFrames.lua:13: in main chunk

Locals:
I tried to disable all addons but Suf, did'nt work. I tried to delete WTF file, didn't work. I tried AGuf, worked... but man I hate the thing!

Any help please?

I can't duplicate it again now either, after reinstalling 3.2.8.1. So don't worry about it

I know you said it's under raid-->raid, but I swear I cannot find an option to hide raid frames when in a raid group of less than 6. I totally see "hide in 6 man raid" under party->party.

So to succinctly state, is there an option to hide the raid frames when in a 1-group raid? And if so, where is it?

Danno: Ah, my bad. You can't hide raid frames based on size, only party frames.

nenemy: You didn't reload after updating I'd imagine. The only reason you would get that error is you either didn't restart the game, or you messed up unzipping it.

Sparkly: The delete button is always grayed out for the default 4 tag texts. You can already change how they are positioned, you don't have to keep them in the center.

Not planning on allowing the raid frames to grow differently.

Duno19: Not sure what you mean, can you clarify?

I unzipped it before starting the game actually, so I didn't really have to "re"start it
I'll try to unzipp it with a different software... maybe that'll do it.

Thanks for the reply anyway and keep up the good work!
