XP bar with default settings

Ara Broker XP Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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

To change options you will have to edit the first 2 lines in the lua file. Here is how it looks:

Code:

local length,	char,	colorXP,	colorRested,	colorRemaining,	thousandSeparator =
	30,	"||",	"6060ff",	"ff8040",	"cccccc",	" "

- length is the number of char used.
- char is the character to use for display. The pipe character has a special meaning so you have to double it to just display one. You are not limited to just one character. If you provide more, the pattern will be repeated length times.
- colorXP, colorRested and colorRemaining are colors in HTML format.
- thousandSeparator is the character used between groups of 3 digits for better reading of large numbers.

Change Log - Ara Broker XP

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.
- Small code tweak in FormatXP function.

r1
- Initial release.

I think this would be a wonderful feature, because then I would know when I've hit the threshold while doing quests of when I can hearth back to my questing hub, and turn in all my quests and get a level from it.

As far as I can figure, you'd have to watch quest status update events, and whenever one is marked completed, scan the quest log, and total the xp it says you'll earn from completed quests. Also watch gear changed events, and rescan the quest log anytime a piece of heirloom gear is equipped or removed, as that changes the expected amount of xp gain.

If you are disinclined to implement this yourself, or just don't have the time, would you merge it if I submitted a patch file to you with this feature? Or should I not waste my time?

Thanks for everything, I still love all your mods!

The idea is interesting, I may look into it if I plan to make a bigger XP plugin, but that's certainly not before the beta of Cataclysm (if I get a key, which is unlikely).

Basically its just putting the text "XP:" in front of the reputation bar (not the tooltip). Code: block.text = "\|cff"..colorRested .. "XP:".. "\|cff"..colorXP ..strsub( bar, 1, lenXPlenChar ).. "\|r\|cff"..colorRested ..strsub( bar, 1, lenRestedlenChar ).. "\|r\|cff"..colorRemaining..strsub( bar, 1, (length-lenXP-lenRested) * lenChar ).."\|r" Last edited by kokomala : 10-23-2009 at 07:20 AM.

OR, (ofc) merge it with the Rep mod, below lvl80 it shows XP by default, at lvl80 it always shows Rep.

^_^

Sorry, Im not ready for this kind of merge.

If you want text instead of ASCII bar, there's plenty of addons you can try.

And, the tracking of rest xp for different characters in FuBar_RestFu?

Thank you very much for your time and energy.

Sorry but I don't think I will add anything to this tiny mod. It would be better to make a new and bigger one that would incorporate your ideas. Try the "addon ideas" section on the wowace forums.

I don't care for reputations and don't plan to code this kind of plugin, but I can help you in this task if you want.

It shows for me and the author of DockingStation as you can see in his exemple panel: http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw21390.jpg
I don't know what's wrong in your case, sorry. Maybe you missed it ? It's called "Ara XP" and not "Ara Broker XP" and new plugins are hidden by default.

Hi,
I will try that. Thanks!
I bought the WoW Programming book and have been studying. I had already added a few lines to the lua that seem to be working but I want to try yours too. I added the following at line 22:

local function round(num)
local mult = 10^1
return math.floor(num * mult + 0.5) / mult
end

Then at line 36 I added:

GameTooltip:AddDoubleLine( "|cff"..colorRemaining.."Bubbles|r", "|cff"..colorRemaining..round(((maxXP - XP) / 5) * .001))

This way I didn't have to change any of your existing lines. I just added 5.

Thanks for helping me to learn!
