PvEFrames
PvEFrames is an add-on that sets up 8 frames that allow targeting and the display the health, mana, reaction, threat, and target of target of units based on their raid icon. In addition, 4 more frames are set up for bosses and other units that may be helpful to target during boss fights. The frames look like blizzard's focus frame so they fit in with the default UI very nicely. Slash commands include '/pveframes' or '/pve' followed by:
  • help --------------lists these commands and brings up the options panel
  • enable/disable ----allows/prevents the frames from functioning
  • lock/unlock -------unlock the frames to allow movement
  • reset -------------resets the frames to the center of the screen
  • spell 'spellname' **selects which spell to cast on right click

**spell 'spellname' -- This uses a /cast command which has to be targeted on your target, so make sure the red bar is next to the correct raid icon (or look at your target frame) before casting your spell.

Frame Clicks:
Left: Target
Middle: De-select Target (can be useful when 2+ mobs have the same name and you want to try targeting the correct one quickly)
Right: Casts the spell you select

When unlocked, press and drag with the left mouse button to move the frame.

Note: This addon targets by using a "/targetexact" command, so it will not work 100% of the time if 2+ mobs have the same name.
-Also the target cannot update in combat, so if a pull has been made it is too late to put raid target icons up for the purpose of this add-on. The frame will still display health, mana, reaction, and target of target, if the frame was being displayed when combat was entered.
-If you have used an earlier version of PvEFrames, it would be a good idea to delete the saved variables from your WTF folder for this version, but it is not needed.

3.0 Changes
Added in the Boss and MiniBoss frames. They currently support all WotLK Heroics and Raids, except for Naxxramas. There has been limited testing at the point.

Future Plans
  • Add in the display of debuffs (and possibly buffs) for the frames, just like Blizzard's focus frame does.
  • Add in the display of casting bars for each of the frames
  • Add an option to toggle between display of health and mana numbers, and health and mana percentages.
  • Add in a way to display which frame (if any) you are currently targeting.
  • Add in support for Naxxramas (in progress).
Feel free to leave any comments/suggestions in the comments section. All ideas will be taken into consideration.
I would also like to know any errors that occur and if you feel the the chosen units for a boss fight are not the best choices.
  Change Log - PvEFrames
3.0 Added in the Boss and MiniBoss frames. They currently support all WotLK Heroics and Raids, except for Naxxramas. There has been limited testing at the point.

2.1.1 Edited description
2.1 Added the panel in the addons section of the interface options. This will be brought up when '/pve' or '/pve help' is entered. Also added in scaling of the frames from 1%-150% of the original size.
2.0.1 Fixed the description typos. Nothing big.
2.0 Rewrote nearly all of the code. Made the frames look like the Blizzard focus frame. Shows health and mana in numbers. Colors mana correctly. Shows reaction. Added options to force show or hide a frame. Also added an option to enable or disable the add-on from displaying (for things such as arenas). Frames now show target of target and threat. And finally frames now are updated anytime you, or any raid member is targeting the marked target.

1.4.1 Quick fix. Figured out why mobs that were dead were being put back up as targets along. Fixed the typo looking at mana instead of health.
1.4 Updated for 3.2 (finally). Added in '/pve names' option to toggle the display of names of the enemy mobs on the action bars. It wasn't really necessary to have the names but it is a nice option.
1.3 Fixed the resetting of frames. They now relocate all on top of each other near the Top-Left of the screen. The red bar indicating your target has been changed to 75% opaque to make it more visible and should now properly relocate to where the frame is moved. Frames should also be hidden when a marked mob is seen to be dead along with when combat ends. The final change was the font used. Now this has been set to "GameNormalFont" which should work in all locales.
1.2.2 Removed a "COMBAT ENTERED" message that occurred every time you entered combat.
1.2.1 Hides frames out of combat and only shows them when a target with the icon is targeted by yourself or a raid member. In addition the target must be alive so that looting does not pick it up again.
1.2 Added a 'toggle' between standard Blizzard status bar and minimalist status bar textures. Fixed the frame locations being saved. The error on login no longer occurs.
1.1.2 Changed description text
1.1 Changed look of bars. Made them smaller, 50% transparent, movable, only appear when moving and once the raid icon has been target/mouseover. Added slash commands using '/pveframes' and '/pve'. Added a feature to reset the frames incase they move behind other frames, etc. And probably more that I cannot remember right now.

Hi,

First, I want to say this addon is a lifesaver, especially in crazy fights like Faction Champions where everyone is running around (mobs included). Thank you for making it!

I do have three requests (since it's human nature never to be satisfied):

Would it be possible to allow us to...

1) ...scale the icons separately from the frames? I would like to have the frames quite small but the icons somewhat bigger, so that they don't take up much space but are hard to miss.

2) ...toggle the portrait? I'd like to turn it off to save more space on the screen.

3) ...change the textures in conjunction with SharedMedia?



P. S. Bug report: Every time I click "OK" on the Esc> Interface> Addons window, even if it's an entirely different addon that I modified, PVEframes becomes unlocked and I have to lock them again. This is the latest version (1254689019-PvEFrames_r7.zip).
Thank you for the suggestions. I did notice the glitch when hitting "okay", after I updated it here on WoWInterface. I'll work on fixing that. And i'll try to add those features soon.

That is one thing that I forgot to put in. I'll update it this weekend, but until then you can type in "/script RaidTarget1Frame:SetScale(.5)" or whatever number you want. 1 is for the normal size. Also you can replace the number after "Target" to get the other 7 frames. I hope this helps for now and I will update it soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into adding that with the next update. I'm also planning on making an option to make the frames look just like the blizzard focus frame. It may be a few weeks before I finish though.

There seems to be a conflict with pveframes and natur enemy castbar, Star frame will not be moveable.
This is solved by rename button1 to i.e button9 in the PvEFrames.xml and PvEFrames.lua. Solved the problem for me!
How to, use Search and replace program. http://www.inforapid.de/html/srdownload.htm

edit: Man I should learn to read first, just saw your warning about the /targetexact function. Please disregard the rest of this post

Hi! I tried this addon in H nexus last night and it glitched on me.

Tank marked up the mobs skull and X and pve frames showed them as expected, but after skull was down I clicked the pveframe for X and cast a lightning bolt. The lightning bolt flew way out in left field and pulled another pack of mobs onto us.

We didnt wipe, but I disabled the addon before Grand Magus Telestra.

Anything you might be able to do to look into this?

Do you have "Show Hidden files" checked?

Control Panel > Folder Options > View > Hidden files and folders > "Show hidden files and folders"

Hope this helps.

I for one would be interested in the addon showing the unmarked mobs, I seem to group with people who never mark these days.
