6.4
-----------------
(r364)
- TOC Update

(r363)
- Fixed: Re-Added unit.spellIsShielded to cast color delegate
- Added: MaximumDisplayableDebuffs variable under Debuff Widget. This will allow user-configurable debuff quantities.

(r358)
- Added: Tip text next to Hub Debuff widget config
- Fixed: Friendly Group unit class coloring
- Re-removed: Minimap button. The code is still there, but hidden. If you liked the button, use this command: /run TidyPlatesOptions._EnableMiniButton = true; ReloadUI()

(r355)
- Fixed: List-to-lookup table conversion for Unit Filter, By Name
- Fixed: Hub/Tank slider ranges (They were not actually broken, just different from the Damage Hub)

(r350)
- Fixed: Incorrect Paths in TidyPlatesWidgets (causing several widgets to not work)
- Fixed: Hub Tank Panel, SplitToTable error

(r348)
- More messing around with debuff widget

(r344)
- No clue

(r340)
- Fix for Debuff Widget empty table/sort error
- Corrected a mistyped line for indexing Aura_Dispell type

(r338)
- Debuff Priority works for "Show Specific" and "Show My Specific" modes, in addition to "By Prefix"
- Class Icon Widget: Returned to using internal artwork
- All textures are now Non-blocking (the game won't wait for textures to load into memory before it draws the scene), preventing texture changes from affecting frame rate
- The debuff widget (should now be called Aura Widget) will track buffs for friendly players

(r308)
- Debuff widget now uses single dimension tables to store cached data, to improve memory management
- Moved Widgets to their own addon/folder (For memory usage tracking)
- Statusbar gradients are now supported via additional return values in theme.SetHealthbarColor()...
* return r1, g1, b1, [r2, g2, b2]

* return showThisAura, auraPriority
- The Hub Panels will check the order of the debuffs in its list to determine priority.
- Class Widget no longer uses internal class artwork; Instead, the class icon is pulled from the Blizz UI library.
- If theme.SetCastbarColor returns nil, the cast animation will be skipped
* This can be used to filter spell casting data
* SetCastbarColor is passed the 'unit info' table, which contains: unit.isCasting, unit.spellName, unit.spellID, unit.spellInterruptible

6.3.8 (r307)

6.3.0:

* Debuff widget now Caches texture of debuffs (to fix sunfire phenomenon, and similar)

6.2.1: (r275)
-----------------

-----------------
* The Hub gets a new category: Style
- This new category has two menus for Friendly and Enemy nameplates
- Users can select between two styles (Health Bars vs Text Only), and several different visibility conditions.
- If you use the Text Only bars, you might want to check out the Name Text Color options, to spice up that text!
* Spell Cast Monitor name search will now strip the "-" from the combat log name, which should fix PvP cast association issues.
* Debuff Widget will now strip the "-" from combat log events, which should fix pvp association issues
* fixed a 'nil' error during pet/tank association

6.1
-------------

- Fixed UnitChannelInfo interruptable spell argument bug
- Found a bug; The Editboxes contained in my ScrollFrames seem to invisibly extend past the bottom of the scrollframe, which can block underlying UI controls. I've dropped the editboxes to a lower frame level, which is a hack method of preventing problems with it interferring with controls anchored to the bottom of the scrollframe. Will attempt to figure out a better solution.
- Name text coloring modes
- By Raid Icon modes for Opacity and Scale

r238 (6.1.10)
- Fixed un-interruptable spell bug on channeled spells

- Debuff widget will clear aurainstance tables when combat ends (regen returns)
- Added Health Text option: Approximate Health (will show 2 decimal places for thousands (k) and millions (M), with suffix)

r212 (6.1.7)
- Changed from thousand/million suffix for health text to using a thousands seperator
- Restored PTR support (last time I checked)

- Added Events for UNIT_SPELLCAST_NOT_INTERRUPTIBLE, UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTIBLE
- Added Threat Wheel to Hub/function set
- Reverted to original health % mode; ie. does not show % when full health. if you like it the other way, edit TidyPlatesHub\functions.lua. I like it this way, and dammit, it's my software ;-)

- Anchoring and event handling fixes
- The theme loader will now call 'theme.OnActivateTheme' (a theme function) when the active theme is changed. it passes two value to the function: the active theme table, and the active theme name.
- The theme loader will call the theme.OnActivateTheme with nil values for ALL themes when a theme is changed. See the Neon/Tank functions.lua for how and why it's supposed to be used.

- At this stage of development, If you can't figure out how to enable it on your own, YOU SHOULDN'T.
- Changed the update functions a wee bit to try and reduce CPU load. Some plates may not be updating correctly. Complain wisely (ie. with specifics) and it shall be fixed.

5.15.1
- Grey has been included


5.15
-------------


r69:
- Commented-out "Other Tank" code in Neon; It needs more polish

r67-68:
- Mass Update queue will now kill the other mass update requests if a full update was scheduled
- Messed about with Neon/Tank, and added some new code to test, regarding aggro and friendly unit debuffs.

r66:
- lil' Core changes

r59-r65:
- Numerous bug fixes (some of them pretty big)
- "Culling of Old Widget Code"

The R65 release contains the test version of Graphite.

r58:
- Lil' bug fixes

r54-57:
- Neon now keeps a "Known targetOf list" table, which delegate functions access to highlight non-tanked targets

- fixed nil values during set scale
- adjusted neon font to 'Qlassik', size, and position for better clarity
- added some comments to the default theme file
- threat line widget will not update on a unit until there is a threat table; meaning, if you're solo, you won't see anything.

r47-49:

- fixed the Avoid overlap thingy
- added some update throttling for threat line widget

r44:

r43:
- Improved Fade
- Added a unit.targetOf variable, which the core will attempt to fill, depending on if there is a path to that unit (target, mousover, raid1target, party2target, etc.. doesn't fill from arena, yet)
- Added a .backdrop tag to the statusbars in the style table for themes; The image will appear behind the statusbar.

r40:

* Improved Tug-o'-Threat Widget

5.11.4
---------------

5.11.3

exsisting objects/widgets before creating new ones.
*theme.OnUpdate is called when the data on the plate is updated. This does not need a existence
check since it's guaranteed to run after an OnInitialize.

5.10.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went back to LiberationSans for default font. Why? I like it!

5.10.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ If the Threat Line Widget sees that the targetted character is a "MAINTANK" under the raid roles, it will color the name blue.

++ Scale pass-through (Not Complete; Using Virtual Plates AND a theme which changes scale will show oddities)
++ Performance Enhancements
++ More Comments (woo?)
++ Code Re-organization
++ Widgets now use TidyPlatesWidgets:HideIn(), and a watcher frame to perform time checks; Faster than having
each widget process for OnUpdate
++ Improvements to Panel Helpers
++ Unit Info table
+ .GUID (from mouseover or target)
++ Grey Theme
++ Critter/Neutral Filter checkbox
++ Panel redesign
++ Tank Mode; "Expands the size of runaway mobs"
++ DPS Mode; "Expands the size of aggro'd mobs"
++ Widgets
++ Each of my own themes should have their own config panel for role,
allowing dual spec to work seamlessly..
TidyPlatesThemes["Grey (DPS)"] = config
TidyPlatesThemes["Grey (Tank)"] = copytable(config)
++ Virtual Plates should now behave better
* Scale-changing plates will still cause problemos, but now, ordinary plates will work just fine.
* Returning NIL in your ScaleDelegate function (if you've got multiple modes) will allow VirtualPlates passthrough.
++ Grey Tank/DPS panels and saved variables got some love; They work better
+ Delegate functions now use local variables for speed
+ Fixed Forceupdate
+ Fixed some Grey variables
+ something else.. forgot what it was. (Ok, I remembered; I spelled "deficit" wrong. I bought the wrong vowel!)
+ Fixed Health Text modes
* Grey Theme
- Added Current Health + Percent
* Widgets
- General Mouseover Widget
- Combo Point Widget
* Still had trouble with nameplate alpha changes updating after the OnShow call.
-- Solution: Indvidual Plate echo-update
* Retracted "Raid-Tanked" Widget (for the time-being)
* Added an extended.widget table
- Theme designers should put all their widget references in this table
* When nameplates are changed (manually or auto) by the Tidy Plates UI,
the software will attempt to hide/clear any frames listed under the
extended.widget table.

5.9.5
* Critter/Neutral Filter on default theme, returned to Mode-level
* fix for hunter pets, grey threat widget

5.9.4
* Adjusted position of default theme data, to reduce targeting woes
* Added a cache reset to the Hide hook
* ForceUpdate now only operates on Shown plates
* CURSOR_UPDATE is now part of the default events
* Added alpha == 0 bypass
* Elite Borders now have a star on the artwork, making visual ID easier
* Simplified Scale and Alpha delegates of the default theme
* Critter Filter on default theme, now always on

5.9.3
* frame layering tweaks
* moved some skinning code around
* casting progress now forces single plate graphical updates (to eliminate casting icon oddities)
* painted my nails

5.9.2
* removed some old code related to the frame separation "feature" *shudder*
* frames faded too much (more than 50%); problem fixed
* level text will not show when skull icon is active
* TidyPlates:ForceUpdate() does not allow targetting a specific frame, anymore. Use: TidyPlates:ForceUpdateFrame(frame), instead
* added .secureframe pointer to .extended, pointing to the base frame
* added .flags to name, level, specialText, and specialText2 - used for adding outlines to your text... if you REALLY want them. *shudder*


5.9.1
* Changed default fonts from Arial to Liberation (halves the file size, woo!)
* Undo the frame separation (Allows Virtual Plates to run)
* '.hitbox' has been added, as a style category. This will alter the clickable region, out-of-combat
- .hitbox.height height of hitbox (default: 37)
- .hitbox.width width of hitbox (default: 149)

Tidy Plates 5.9 Release Notes
Release
* Clean Up Files - Check!
* Rename of "Beta Grey" to "Standard Grey" - Check!
* re-added health bar color function

See Changelog.txt for the complete WALL OF TEXT!

artiq A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 32 Uploads: 0	Originally Posted by danltiger Hi Artiq, When the debuff widget or cast warning monitor scans the combat log, it can figure out if the source and destination units are players (there's a bit-flag). Since player names are unique, we can use the name to match an event with a nameplate, so GUIDs aren't even necessary. The debuff widget (theoretically) works for all units, but for pve enemies, you'll have to tag the nameplate with a mouseover to get the unique Global UnitId. Another complication; For events that are detected through the combat log, there is no attached data regarding cast time or aura duration... so we either have to guess, or search a cache for previously observed duration. It's all very messy. Eventually, I hope to add specific arena enhancements, too. Hi, I have done some more extensive testing in arena now and there are issues with the debuff widget.

Yeah sure, it's good that you care about ppl wanting it lightweight, but you know what, i like to perform at max ^^ Big ups for helping me with this Will make alot of poeple i know come back to tidyplates

One of the biggest complaints directed at nameplate addons is how CPU and memory hungry they become, so I'm hesitant to increase the default polling rate. Originally Posted by madmatt91 Ah yes tryed it out, it does show decimals indeed, althought the interval is still one second so it doesn't help more than before ^^ Like I'm trying it on a dummy and it seems evel less regular than before, i see 2.4 seconds left, then 1 second after 1.4 left, but yeah if you were looking at something else and then you come back on the namplate, you go like of fine it still has 1.4 left, but it may be like 0.5 xD I guess though that it's not your intention to make it too precise, so i tell you what my (and i think a coupld of dotters out there ) ''dream'' debuff widget is: show decimals, makng it able to refresh each .1 secs (so it would appear smooth like, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7 ecc ecc) and perhaps giving the options to make the colour of it turn red or yellow or something after a certain amount of seconds left. I KNOW I KNOW, not something to expect, but if you in case manage to do this it would make this THE nameplate addon (even more ^^) imo.

danltiger A Murloc Raider   Forum posts: 7 File comments: 1310 Uploads: 21	My mistake! I didn't test it first. Here's what the block should be changed to: Code: local function UpdateWidgetTime(frame, expiration) local timeleft = expiration-GetTime() if timeleft > 60 then frame.TimeLeft:SetText(floor(timeleft/60).."m") else frame.TimeLeft:SetText(floor(timeleft*10)/10) -- remove the *10 and /10 if you don't want decimals end end Should actually be using 'floor', which I'll be using for future releases. The update interval is still 1s. Originally Posted by madmatt91 That's for the incredibly fast response however i tried that and it's pretty much the same, 1.1 remaining displays 2 and like 0.1-0.3 before expiring it still says one, it never goes to 0 and it never shows any decimal, just plain seconds like 5,4,3,2,1. Main / secondary targets same deal :/. Oh well thanks again for the fast answer anyway if you got anything else in mind to make me try, it's very appreciated Otherwise don't bother i'll try and skin Platebuffs around Tidy Plates style. __________________ Author Portal Tidy Plates, Tidy Threat, and Tidy Bar Last edited by danltiger : 05-02-12 at 09:05 PM.

danltiger A Murloc Raider   Forum posts: 7 File comments: 1310 Uploads: 21	You can open up TidyPlatesWidgets\DebuffWidget.lua, and scroll down to line #539-ish. You'll see the function definition for "UpdateWidgetTime" Modify this: frame.TimeLeft:SetText(ceil(timeleft)) To something like this: frame.TimeLeft:SetText(ceil(timeleft*10)/10) That'll give you 1 decimal point. The ceil function is used to round figures down. So, if the function sees "1.5" seconds, it'll return "1". Theoretically, it should be giving you the leeway needed for effective dotting. However, the widget is at the mercy of the data that the API sends it. For non-targets, the countdown may be a rough estimate. (Non-targets don't get the complete talent/glyph/ability-modified duration data) Hope that helps! Originally Posted by madmatt91 Hey, thanks for the addon ofc, looks neat and has great widgets. It has one thing that really bothered me for so much time now, and in the end i couldn't resist asking here. The debuff widget has the timers duration set to non decimals, now it may be alright, but for a dotter class precision is what matters, and sometimes the addon displays 2 seconds remaining even though the actual time left is about 1.1 seconds, is there any way you could tell me what to change in the code to make the timers duration more precise and make them display decimals? i've seen Platebuffs has it implemented, but i'd rather stick to your own widget for debuffs, cause it looks better overall.

danltiger A Murloc Raider   Forum posts: 7 File comments: 1310 Uploads: 21	Re: Scrreenshots There's clearly something happening with your nameplates, since the font and border are non-standard. I noticed in one picture that a nameplate retained the default border. Normally, I'd say you have some addons conflicting (especially since you've got shNameplates installed, too). If Tidy Plates is the only thing running, then it's likely that there are some lua errors occurring before conversion of the default graphics can finish. Make sure you've got LUA errors turned on, under Interface>Help. I also noticed that you're running on a private server, which may cause some oddity, depending on your client version.
