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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
I'm going to work on this mod again in the next couple of days. This will by my first try on creating an ingame menu. I'm also trying to find a way that makes implementing new styles much more easily.
But as you can see both of the actual orbs are the same shape which is not what I want. I'd like the mana orb to be a different shape. But I don't know much about LUA. At all. Any pointers?
Also, how do I make the orbs white without being on a priest?

That is the sole purpose of this mod. I show how you can do it and people adept and start doing there own thing. So yeah this is allowed.
Well you obiously would need to change the artwork files. If you want to dig into it just choose a style and start editing it with a text editor. In the game hit "/reload" to see the changes. If you start editing install BaudErroRFrame (WotlK) for LUA errors.
First off, would it be okay for me to change up the appearance of this a bit? I'd really love to make a druid-themed... theme.
If I were to do that, how would I make it so that only one of the orbs would be changed? For example, I want to make the health orb a moon and the mana orb a sun, but seeing as they're taking from the same artwork files it doesn't seem possible, and I'm a total LUA novice so I can't do it myself. I took a whack at it but it didn't work out too well.

heya
used this UI in 3.2 on an alt, and i LOVED it
but in 3.3, it doesnt work anymore , i tried it trice
i would like to use this instead of ur other addon Roth UI (Diablo 3 theme)
(cus this one has more then one UI, and in not that good with those LUA files )
could you/someone help me?
First find the downloaded file. You need to extract the files, they are "zipped" into a package to make them smaller.
Rightclick the zip icon and say extract to here (if that is possible) otherwise choose any other extract option.
Extract it to your Desktop would be best. The folder you need is called "rBottomBarStyler", make sure you only copy that folder from the extracted package.
Now find your the folder where you installed World of Warcraft. Using Vista/Windows 7 you may need to read: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=14650
In your World of Warcraft folder is a "Interface" folder. Inside that is a "AddOns" folder. Copy the "rBottomBarStyler" folder inside your "AddOns" folder.
Before you can actually start the game you need a actionbarmod since this mod only does art, but not actionbars. So go and download Dominos. Extract them the same way.
Start the game when done and check the AddOns button in the bottom left corner of your characterlist (it appears once you have one addon installed). I think you need to turn on "load out of date addons" since this once hasn't been updated for quite some time now.
Hi im very new to this addon stuff and i was just wondering...
How do u get the addons to work? I downloaded it and it a screen popped up and asked me if i wanted to save or if i wnted to show it in Windows Explorer (Default) How do i get the addon to work after that?
I am using this addon along with jExp2. However, I can't seem to find the bottom bar graphic that is shown in the jExp2 page. Is it available in the Diablo package and I'm just not seeing it?
, i tried it trice
im VERY NEW
