TheRingThing
Intro
This is my RingMod. It is capable of displaying rings on screen that fill radial. It does not use the massive texture spam approach, instead the ring gets divided into segments and is calculated. I used the approach Iriel posted some time ago when he wrote down his thoughts about the StatRings mod.
Derivated mods
- oUF_RingThing
- oUF_RingThing2
Documentation

How?
http://elitistjerks.com/blogs/zork/362-ring.html
What is it for?
This is mainly a developers only addon. It includes two test functions for health/mana display for the player and all the other functions that are needed to calculate the values. This mod should show developers how they can do it and provides functions that can be used to achieve it.
Layers
The ring consists of 3 layers: background, ring-segments, foreground. Background and foreground can be hidden.
Dynamic
The background texture can be set to rotate. Thus it will constantly rotate. Update timer and speed can be set in the config.
Alpha blending
Currently the ring segments are set to SetAlphaBlending("ADD") thus the color gets multiplied with the background. Setting can be changed in the config.
Can we do half-rings?
Yes we can. You can define what segments should be used, where to start and in which direction it should be filled.
Half-ring config: http://zorktdmog.zo.funpic.de/ringmo...ringconfig.txt
Can we do orb-like stuff?
Yes we can. Just make yourself textures that can handle it and set the inner_radius to 1. Avoid the 0 it bugs out the SetTexCoord.
Unitframe ideas?
WingUnits anyone?
Or just think about two halrings for health and mana around the portrait in the middle with another ring outside for the castbar.
Or having a health orb in the middle while mana and castbar outside. I tried to do this some time ago with my oUF_Orbs layout but as you can see the bars did not fill radial, they just tried to fake it. This has an end now.
Stuff like that is possible. Is this awesome? Yes it is!
Config
The mod is LUA only for now, my hope is that maybe someone write a GUI for the config. Currently the mod is controlled by a config table in the LUA. Many settings are included and can be adjusted.
Code:
-- ring layout
-- ____ ____
-- / | \
-- | 4 | 1 |
-- ----+----
-- | 3 | 2 |
-- \____|____/
--
-- direction 1 = right (clockwise), 0 = left (counter-clockwise)
-----------------------
-- CONFIG

Re: Love it but....
Agreed. It is an intriguing piece of work, but w/o a GUI it is for a select minority of players. If only there were someone who had the capacity and desire to make this available to the non-scripters amongst us. I'll have to do without for now. |

the double slice image
Why have two separate slice images? wouldn't be better to use just the one and SetTexCoord() it around to the new position?

So gonna be watching the development of this AddOn. I can think of a funky interface to make with it.

I am currently working on my first ring-layout for oUF. http://code.google.com/p/rothui/sour...oUF_RingThing/ Haven't tested it yet currently offline-coding  . Only had to adjust one thing. I needed to add the complete config_table to the object aswell since in oUF I have no reference to the config of the specific ring in the PostUpdateHealth/Mana functions (for example) later but I have access to self. Thus the ring_config variable basically becomes obsolete since it is saved in the object aswell. Code:
local function setup_ring(id)
local ring_config = ring_table[id]
local ring_object = cre_ring_holder(ring_config)
ring_object.config = ring_config
ring_object.background = cre_ring_background(ring_object.config, ring_object)
ring_object.segments = cre_ring_segments(ring_object.config, ring_object)
ring_object.foreground = cre_ring_foreground(ring_object.config, ring_object)
return ring_object
end
