Diablo 3 with 24 buttons (12 and 36 possible too!)
rBottomBarStyler (Diablo)
Intro
This is my new mod and it is my first mod ever that will have no Lua config. Woot? Yes, no Lua config. You can access everything by using the /rbbs slash command in the chat.
News
Added class coloring. Data now saved per character.
What does it?
With this mod you can select between different background styles (textures). Additionally all styles use my orbs. The mod is standalone and can be used with any other mod or unitframe around.
Currently you can select one of this styles: Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Diablo 3 no Orbs!, Roth UI, AION and AION2.
Addtionally you can scale the bars and the Roth UI, Diablo 3 and Diablo 3 no Orbs! layout has 3 bar backgrounds to choose of, for 12, 24 and 36 buttons.
The orbs can be clicked and act like your player frame. You can hover, left and rightclick them. The orbs have health and mana values aswell.
Available styles: Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Diablo 3 no Orbs!, Roth UI, AION and AION2
/rbbs setart d1 or d2 or d3 or d3no or roth or aion or aion2
Example for 12, 24 and 36 button bars
You can set them up by using the /rbbs setbar command
Orb colors?
You can select between 5 colors for health and mana. Red, green, blue, yellow and runic. The manacolor can be chosen automatically on stance/class. See sethealthorb, setmanaorb and setautomana for more.
The orbs suck, is there a style without?
Yes, choose the Diablo 3 no Orbs! style (/rbbs setart d3no)
What does it not?
One word: Actionbars! Since I provide very specific BottomBar backgrounds you need very flexible actionbars that will hide the default Blizzard actionbars.
I suggest: Dominos, Macaroon! or Bartender4.
To make this clear. This mod provides background textures only. The orbs are a plus but thats it. You cannot put your spells on textures, you need actionbars to do this.
Where do I get the xp/rep-bar?
Use jExp2 for this. jExp2 provides a movable and sizable xp-bar.
Are the orbs functional?
The orbs act like your life and your mana bar. But since the mod is standalone and you will use unitframes and actionbars its kept very simple.
But nevertheless, the orbs have health and mana values. The have a very nice animated glow and they act like your player frame and can be hover, left- and rightclicked.
How do I move the bar?
Make sure setmovable is set to 1 and setlocked is set to 0. A grey square will appear on your bar at the bottom center.
Hover the square. Now hold down ALT+SHIFT+any mousebutton and pull your mouse.
To reset the position set the movable variable to 0, this will delete the data and reset the frame.
The bar is to big or to small?
Use the setscale slash command to adjust the bar to your liking. Values from 0.5-1.5 are optimal for most users.
How do I use it?
After login enter /rbbs in you chat and a help text will show up with further information. The following commands can be made.
Slash commands? /rbbs
- This will output a info text /rbbs getscale
- This will output the scale value that is currently set /rbbs setscale NUMBER
- Type in /rbbs setscale 1 to set the scale variable to 1
- This command is very cool you can make the bar very huge or very tiny with just one little command since everything is anchored to one frame /rbbs getart
- This will output the art that is currently set /rbbs setart STRING
- values allowed: d1, d2, d3, d3no, roth, aion, aion2
- This will change the style of the bottom bars to another style, reloadui is required!
- Example: /rbbs setart d3 /rbbs setbar STRING
- This will only viable for the roth, d3 and d3no layout
- You can choose a background bar for 12, 24 and 36 buttons
- Allowed values: bar1, bar2, bar3
- Example: /rbbs setbar bar2 /rbbs getlocked
- This will output 1 if the bar is locked, otherwise 0 /rbbs setlocked NUMBER
- Set this to 1 to lock bars, 0 to unlock /rbbs getmovable
- This will output if the bar is movable or not /rbbs setmovable NUMBER
- This will set the bar movability. If you set this to 0 your saved position data will be deleted (reseted) and the default value will be used.
- If you set it to 1 and locked is set to 0 you will see a grey square at bottom center of your bar. /rbbs sethealthorb NUMBER
- values 0 (classcolor), 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (blue), 4 (yellow), 5(runic) to set your healthcolor /rbbs setmanaorb NUMBER
- values 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (blue), 4 (yellow), 5(runic) to set your manacolor /rbbs setautomana NUMBER
- values 0 or 1, this will override the manaorb setting and automatically detect your manacolor on class/stance
Where is the data saved?
The data is saved under the SavedVariables folder of your Account.
Love this addon though would love it even more if I could change the text on the orbs to show health/mana deficits rather than current values, i.e. show how much mana I've lost as opposed to how much I currently have left.
Just the values mind you, I would still like the textures to represent what is still available.

Any chance there's a way to make the health fade smoothly, with colours?
Say, a full health globe (100%) shows a green globe, half-full (50%) shows an orange globe, and an almost empthy health globe (10%) is close to dark-red?
Doesn't look like usual health-colour addons are working in this case, and I'm really wondering if this addon can be made even cooler with such an option.
Also, if I may, I think the "crude" fading of health (a single horizon just going lower when health depletes) is a bit ugly. Is there any option, or AddOn, that allows the fading to go either smoother, or in a round shape? As in, the globe's health pool getting smaller when you take hits?
Besides that, two thumbs up (I only have two thumbs, but you deserve way more). It's an awesome AddOn, just what I've been looking for to give my UI that little shiney-I-wants-its factor.
I really love what you have done with rbottombarstyler. Its really given my mages UI some nice flavor. I am trying to do some different things with it and I have run into a problem however.
What I am trying to do is move everything up a bit on the screen so I can use KGpanels and put some panels beneath it. I don't know if I am going to be able to do what I want with this but I am just messing around with it a bit. Anyways, I went through the steps to move the actionbar...I set setmovable to 1 and set setlocked to 0. I got the grey bar and alt+shift clicked it and was able to get everything to move like I wanted it. Problem is I cant get the mouse to release the actionbar. I have tried setting setlocked back to 1 and it still sticks to my mouse. In fact, the only way I can free up my mouse is to command+tab to the finder ( I use a mac) and force quit WoW. When I relaunch the program its back at the bottom in the default location. Any ideas on this?
Beware! It's my personal hack and it may not comply with your license yet (still the same name). Notable differences: This version is for use with the original Blizzard actionbars ONLY! It offers slow orb fills, new colors epic , black, dark blue and new text options. Texture positions are only set for /rbbs setart g3 and /rbbs setart g3no, so far. If you don't use a widescreen resolution, I highly recommend using this in conjunction with TidyBar (as seen in the screenshot).
Originally posted by zork The glow is gone. Ask Blizzard what they did. It just disappeared in 3.2. So galaxies or no glow at all.
That is no longer valid.
First of all, the glow vanished with patch 3.2 because Blizzard (by accident?) removed the Texture Dust2 from the Deadmines. This texture is used by the glow animations.
My attempt to repair this failed and I can't post about it in the US forums. While I have obtained the old texture and modified the animation, I'm unable to load it. Unfortunately, SetModel() does not seem to work with a file name from the addons directory
But, there are other animations... Have a look at this screenshot:
I have used the glow effect of weapons, which are available in many colors. And the glow is back as good as new!
hey there i tried this addon and i liked it the only problem , i wanted to use 4 bars i edited the bar3.tga for roth i added 4 bars but the 4th bar wont show i cant see a part of it, seems the texture has a fixed height and wont show the 4th barcan u please help me how to change that ?
thanks
i REALLY love this addon for my alts being that im a huge Diablo fan. the only thing i dont like is that the orbs show a numerical % on top of the actual hp/mana numbers. is there a way to get rid of the percentage and just leave the actual number?
Im a big fan of this addon and have been useing it for quite a while now and was thrilled to see more orb colors avalible, I used your earlier advice to make my shamans health orb the priest color but now i would realy like to make my mana bar the mage class color, i have no idea if this is possible but either way i thank you for your help in advance
