Tidy Plates v6.6...

(r451 Beta)
- Made some changes to reduce memory use, and avoid certain 'lag' events...
* Pet/Companion NPC titles are no longer cached
* Cached unit guild and npc titles are now stored within the TidyPlatesWidgetData variable, keeping this data out of the base TidyPlates saved variables
* Hub/Reset button will now clear the cached unit descriptions/titles and guilds
* Unit descriptions (player guild name, or NPC role/title) will not be displayed while in an instance. This is to avoid the CPU overhead that occurs when searching the database.
- Healer track should work again. Expect some new graphics in the future.
- Matched widget duration timer to default blizz interface standard (using 'floor' rather than 'ceil')
- Fixed SpellId variable name in widgets\tank.lua
- Spell Cast Monitor: If cast time is not greater than 0, make it a minimum of 1.5s

(r447 Beta)
Enhancements...
- Added NameColorByEnemyClass to function list
- Minimize Hub now scales the frame to 90% for an even more compact frame
- Rearranged Name Color: By Friendly Class and By Enemy Class
- Made some changes to HealerTrack.lua not quite sure if it's working properly. Please test!

(r444 Beta)
Enhancements...
- Improved HealerTrack.lua provided by Curseforge user, dakunesu. Improves detection of healers in battlegrounds. Rockin!
- Added a "Minimize" button to the /hub UI panel. Clicking this will detach the Hub panel from the Interface Options window, and make it smaller. Good for configuring stuff while playing.
- The Copy & Paste buttons for the Hub panels now work with a unified Clipboard, so you can Copy & Paste between Tank and DPS panels. Holding down "Shift" while clicking Copy or Paste will use the original Tank/DPS-specific caches.
- New Hub Option: "Bring Casting Units to Spotlight Scale"

(r440 Beta)
Quality-of-Life...
- Square Debuff Icons: Added a new Debuff Widget option, "Debuff Style", which allows the user to select between the traditional "Wide" debuff format, or a more squareish "Compact" style. The column count is increased to 5 for the "Compact" style.
- Bookmark System: Added a "Bookmark" system to the Hub panels, which allows a user to jump directly to any of the categories
- On certain themes, the position of your debuffs will be adjusted to allow the combo point widget to comfortably fit (on Rogues and Druids, only). When the combo widget is disabled, the icons will "snug" themselves closer to the plate.
- Using the '/hub' command will bring you to the Hub Configuration panel for your current theme
- Added click sounds to the 'Copy' and 'Paste' buttons
- My OCD: Under the "Style" category, all references to "Text-Only Plates" or "TextPlates" have been changed to "Headline Mode". This change is intended to distinguish the style modifier from other references to "Text". I'm sure some of you will hate this (can you come up with something better?), but I'm hoping that less cranky folks find the new grammar to be more intuitive.
- To support the "Headline Mode" name change, I've added a new category. Can you guess? "Headline".
- I've grouped the "Color" and "Text" categories into "Color & Text", and moved them to the second-category position. Why?? 1: "Color & Text" controls the appearance of the default 'Health Bar' style. 2: Underneath, "Headline" controls the appearance of the 'No Bar' style. Thus: This arrangement puts these options close to where the user selects the modes, in the "Style" category.

Bug Fixes...
- Unit Cache should filter out reputation names. This fixes an issue occuring when "Colorblind" mode is active, causing Reputation to be displayed instead of an NPC's Title.
- "Filter > Filter Inactive": When a unit is marked with a target/raid-icon, it's now assumed to be Active.


-----------------
6.5...

(r433)
* The "By Class" function of Health Bar Color has been changed to, "By Enemy Class".
* Added a Health Bar Color function called, "By Friendly Class".
* Added some code to make built-in themes use the default Blizzard nameplate font when a non-latin language locale is detected
* Updated combo widget artwork: higher resolution, etc.
* Fixed file path to Neon's Target selection artwork

(r421)
* Fixed the text-plate target and highlight art (I messed it up while cleaning duplicates)
* Changed fonts... Neon, Graphite, Grey, and Quatre now use the same font, to keep the package size smaller.

(r420)
* Added Text Modes: Level & Level and Health
* Changed some panel text, colors, explanations
* Added some Text-Only style functions
* Cleaned theme folders (removed old art and consolidated duplicates)

(r409-411)

* Hub: Moved the two Text-Plate config options from 'Color' and 'Text', to 'Style'
* Changed 'Frame' category to 'Advanced'

* Added a filter to the Unit-Data cache, to skip characters from other other realms
* Unit-Data caching is bypassed while in an instance (Both PvP and PvE)
* The caching system will peek at /who requests, and store the info on the Unit-Data table (Unless it's disabled)
* Changed Neon's font to Accidental Presidency (Why? Because I like it!)


(r406)
* When "Show Party Aggro" (under Threat) is enabled, the "By Threat" spotlight systems for Opacity and Scale will now highlight your unfortunate party members.
* The Health and Text colors mode, "By Threat" has been changed to, "By Threat (Auto-Detect). The previous implementation has been renamed to "By Threat (Legacy)"
* When using a tank stance, aura, or form, you'll see the "Safe" color when you have aggro, and the "Warning" color when you don't. When NOT in a tank mode, you'll see the "Warning" color when you have aggro.
* Changed default Spotlight Opacity to 100%

(r403)
* Reversion of Default Scale to 100%/120%
* By Class color modes will now apply coloring to both Friendly and Enemy players
* By Class color mode will also source non-party/pvp colors from a cache. Mouseover-ing a unit will add it to the cache.
* Removed option, "Show Class Color for Party/Raid Members", since it's now redundant
* By Threat color modes will automatically swap colors to match tanking status
* Changed names of Color options to: Warning, Transition, and Safe

Some of these changes may not make it to the general release, if they don't work out. Let me know how the changes affect you.

(r358)
- Added: Tip text next to Hub Debuff widget config

6.4 (r318)
- New folder: TidyPlatesWidgets
* Moved Widgets to their own addon/folder (For memory usage tracking)

- The Hub Panels will check the order of the debuffs in its list to determine priority.
- The Hub opacity filter list has a new internal format, and will be automatically converted (hopefully)
- Class Widget no longer uses internal class artwork; Instead, the class icon is pulled from the Blizz UI library.
- Statusbar gradients are now supported via additional return values in theme.SetHealthbarColor()...

* SetCastbarColor is passed the 'unit info' table, which contains: unit.isCasting, unit.spellName, unit.spellID, unit.spellInterruptible

6.3.8 (r307)

* Friendly/Enemy "V-key" Automation; In Combat, Out of Combat, Always
* Debuff widget now Caches texture of debuffs (to fix sunfire phenomenon, and similar)

- 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
- Added to Hub; "By Prefix.." Mode for Debuff Widget
- ALL, MY, NO, OTHER, CC

- 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)
- Moved Quatre Raid Icon to similar position as Neon (to left side of health bar)

- The update function for debuff icons are now exposed via, widget.Poll
- 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 ;-)
- WoW 4.1 Compatibility (should work on 4.0.x and 4.1, concurrently. I have not tested on the PTR, though)


r199 - Raid Tank Coloring in Tank mode. Automatically used when in "By Threat" Modes.

- removed specialtext fields. replaced with "spelltext" and "customtext"

a single value has changed.

---

Tidy Plates 5.12 Beta...

Beta 11
+ More cast bar improves
+ Rederanged some layering
+ Some other things, but I can't remember what they were.
+ Crimped my hair. Total blonde 'fro.
+ Planted some beets in my garden.
+ Cursed at the deer who ate my bean vines

+ Oh yeah... there's a new theme, which I included; It's called Graphite. It's a very minimal design, which is in-progress. Just thought you guys/gals might enjoy seeing it early.

Beta 9
+ Fooled around with region hiding

Beta 8
+ Cleaned up indicator code
+ Unit information table: levelcolorRed, levelcolorGreen, levelcolorBlue
+ clean up spellcasting errors

Beta 7
+ Fixed highlight bug
+ Added level text, color, and boss-skull

Beta 6
+ Fixed some Casting bar bugs
+ Note widget; Removed interface from neon

Beta 5
+ New frame/region management; No reparenting. This change is to help avoid crashes on Macs.

Beta 4
+ Cast bar has been totally reverted to older method; Some graphical glitches
may still occur, but it'll be Blizz's API's fault, this time ;-)
+ Debug Text has been removed
+ Note Widget has been repaired
+ Unit Raid Icon Info (unit.raidIcon)
* STAR, MOON, CIRCLE, SQUARE, DIAMOND, CROSS, TRIANGLE, SKULL
+ Debuff widget should behave better
+ Changed the update process to better update nameplates when the player
doesn't have a target. Idle performance will slightly decrease, but
will have no impact to combat performance.

Beta 3
+ Fixed some "no target" update errors
+ Working on cast bar problems; Reverting to older method
REMOVED - When you click on the Tidy Plates entry in the Interface Options list, it will expand the list, showing all subitems
+ The debuff widget can be filtered by creating and linking a function to the debuff widget object (widget.Filter)
example:
plate.widgets.AuraIcon.Filter = function(debuffinfo)
if (debuff.duration < 50 ) or debuff.name == "Hunter's Mark" then return true end
end
+ Fixed some aura widget bugs

Beta 2B

+ Neon now can show the unit level in its health text field
+ Added events for PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST, PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED, UNIT_FACTION
+ Grey is included, again. It's not fully updated
+ Minor bug fixes
+ Both Neon and Grey will now only modulate the scale and aggro color of NPC nameplates; PvP colors will automatically pass through


Beta 1
Beta 1 will launch without Grey. This is so I can keep focused on features, and then work toward
the interface panels. I use Neon, so that's what I'll be testing with.
+ Notes Widget
+ Currently only editable via LUA. Add notes in the widgets\NotesWidget.lua file.
+ Unit Raid Icon Info
+ Range-Check Widget (for group members)
+ Interface (Drop down menu for range)
+ Packaged Neon with the Main Release
+ Make Selection Box and Threat Line defaults for Tidy Plates: Neon
+ Add Level Display Option to Grey
+ Neon: Make the Enemy Player color pass through (PVP)
+ Updated Combo Points
+ Neon: Added health text



5.11.4
---------------
* Grey Theme: New Customization Tool
1. Under the "TidyPlates_Grey" folder, you'll find another folder, "TidyPlates_GreyExtension"
2. To use it, begin by moving that folder up to your Addons folder
3. Open the file, "TidyPlates_GreyExtension\GreyExtension.lua"
4. You can directly modify the default behavior and appearance
5. This process can be duplicated for any theme, and will not get overwritten by an update
Post a comment, or write me an email (binbwen@gmail.com) if you need some help with this
* A full status update will now be performed when the cast bar is shown, to prevent null values

* The Public Test Build Includes the Neon theme

5.11.2
---------------
+ Castborder size is being reset during odd times; Added improvements to restore the shape
+ Fixed the issue with Grey aggro borders not being hidden after /reload (saved variable merge issue)

5.11.1
---------------
- Problems with OnInitialize not being called (widget errors occuring during combat) An attempted fix is applied.
- Fixed unit.class updates (hopefully)

Beta 10
-- /greydps and /greytank are the new shortcuts for Grey's Interface panel
-- Added aura widgets to Grey/Tank
-- Repositioned the Grey debuff widget

-- Short Debuff Widget Description; Displays up to 6 of your debuffs (in no particular order) on a target,
which are less than 36 seconds in total duration.

Beta 9
- Health text in Grey; "%x" will now read "x%"
- Added outline to text of Threat Line Widget (makes it easier to read in a cluttered battle)
- Decreased the text size of the target-of-target on Threat Line

Beta 8
- Debuff widget: number of columns reduced to 3
- Threat Line Widget will look to see if the player is marked as a Main Tank in the Raid settings. If so, it will display the person who has pulled aggro (Target of). otherwise, it will assume dps mode and hide the name.
- Threat Line will color the Lost side green if it's being held by a tank

Beta 7
Debuff Widget:
* Added a second row of icons to debuff widget (total: 8)
* Modified border graphics
* Decreased Size to 80%
* Added Stacks
* Moved text around
* increased length to 5 min
* Added Debuff Widget to Neon/Tank and DPS

Status Bar
* Fixed Range errors

Alpha
* Fixed Opacity errors

5.11 Beta 5
* Added a Statusbar wrapper, which fixes Lucky Charms, and enables vertical stat bars with masks
(Now you can use the orientation = "VERTICAL" tag for your healthbar. Not active on the castbar.)
* Added basic Debuff (on enemies) icons for targets and mouseover
* Fixed Virtual Plates compatibility (Thanks Saiket!!)

Theme function Changes:
* theme.OnInitialize will get called every time a nameplate is shown. Authors should check for
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.


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

5.10.3
+ Line widget will color names
+ Fixed "Hide Neutrals"
+ Went to ArialNarrow for the default font
+ Grey\DPS
+ Added Hide Neutrals, Ignore Elites
+ Added SetPoint to extended (just in case)
+ Changed health bar color gathering to assist duels

- Removed from loading procedure:
- SetCVar("CameraDistanceMaxFactor", 6)
- SetCVar("threatWarning", 3)
- SetCVar("ShowClassColorInNameplate", 1)
- SetCVar("showVKeyCastbar", 1)


5.10.2
General
+ Removed Cvar setting, "CameraDistanceMaxFactor" (fixes camera zoom issues)
+ Re-enabled Cursor Update Event

Grey Theme
+ Scale: ignore non-elites (Added to Grey\Tank; Planned for Grey\DPS)
+ Alpha: hide non-elites (Added to Grey\Tank; Planned for Grey\DPS)
+ Spinner Widget
+ move widgets to .widget
+ Added a Selection/Target box to Grey (Added to Grey\Tank; Planned for Grey\DPS) (testing)

5.10.1
------
Re-added Threat Wheel/ Spinner

5.10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
++ "Avoid Overlap" (Alias) in panel
++ "Autoshow" Option in panel
++ Independent Frame
* scale pass-through (Not fully implemented; using Virtual Plates AND a theme which changes scale will show oddities)
* force alpha override (The developer can tell Tidy Plates to force the alpha - avoiding Blizzard's default alpha - by returning 'true' as a second value for the return)
- ex. theme.SetAlpha = function(unit) return 1, true end -- Will maintain the opacity at 100%, regardless of target status
++ Set Default CVars after VARIABLES_LOADED
++ Dual Spec Support (Changes theme based on spec)
- Added a second dropdown menu in panel
++ Troubleshooting Panel
- Vkey/Bindings
- reset/reload
++ Widgets
+ created TidyPlatesWidgets. table
+ Threat Wheel
+ Class Icon Widget
+ Combo Point Widget
+ Threat Line
+ MT Logic Widget
+ Syntax usage will follow
++ 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. Damn you, Vanna)
+ 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.

In Progress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release To-Do
-------
-- Documentation

Post Release:
-- Video
-- Tidy Plates: Basic - Will become the new 'TDK' starter theme.

Moved to Future Version or Sep. Addon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* "Behind" Widget if IsUsableSpell("Shred") or IsUsableSpell("Backstab") then return 2; elseif IsUsableSpell("Mangle") or IsUsableSpell("Sinister Strike") then return 1 end
* Incoming Heal Widget (LibHealcomm )
* Default Functions for all non-overridden themes
* Tentative: Change SpecialText2 to SpellText? 'Spell Name Text' becomes a default feature
* - Include/Exclude List for theme (sep lua file)
* Unit Information Table additions
- unit.raidIcon = "SKULL", "X", etc
* LDB Addon/Plugin
* Make _VP work better
* Widget Customization (They'll behave more like the usual interface widgets, where you can add/remove elements and graphics)
* Widgets
- General Mouseover Widget
+* Mana Widget
+* Buff/Debuff Widget (Randa)
- Current Target Widget
+* Combo Point Widget
* Grey Theme
- PvP Mode
* Still having trouble with nameplate alpha changes updating after the OnShow call.
-- Current Solution; EchoUpdate. Problem; Adds too many "gather" phases
-- Future Solution: Indvidual Plate EchoUpdate or EchoUpdateAlpha

* Virtual Plates Workaround: 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.
* Future Solution: externalScale and internalScale variables. All scale updates (internal and external) will pass to a function to combine the values

* Placing your widgets under frame.widgets in OnInitialize(frame) will allow Tidy Plates to clear the widgets when unneeded.
