6.1

Discord Art

Version: 6.1.2

by: Fizzlemizz [More]

Lozareth's configurable, scriptable with custom functions Discord Art.

Curse Client users: I don't host on Curse so if Discord Art appears in the download list, press Ignore because it is most likely a very ancient version.

Included Discord Library version: 6.1

See the Change Log (tab above) for a list of all changes.

Release 6.1.2

Fixed: Corrected version number so you no longer need to check out of date addons for it to work in 6.1

Release 6.1.1

Discord Art release for Warlords of Draenor patch 6.1

End of release notes

Modify your World of Warcraft environment to suit your style. Add textures that are clickable, will react to events ie. showing when you aquire a target and hiding again when not and lots lots more.

The screenshots show how you can use Discord Art to build a MazzleUI style background to host your UI (bars, unitframes, chat, loot, statistical information etc.). With the help of the Quick Script: code below shows how you don't have to lose actual screen realestate to your artwork (mobs don't sneak in from behind any sooner than if you didn't have the artwork displayed).

NOTE: If you change names of, copy, move, add textures and let's not forget typos while in-game, you will have to completly exit WOW and re-start before the "new" textures will register (going back to the character select or account login screens is not good enough).

A bright green blob where your amazing artwork is supposed to appear is a good clue your texture hasn't registered (did I mention typos

).

***SCRIPTS
Because the ubiquitous "this" is no longer a valid construct in WOW Lua, the scripting engine has been changed to include/parse "self" as a replacement to "this". "param" is still the universal parameter 1 name passed to functions so for OnEvent self= the old "this" and param = the "event" paramter. For OnUpdate, self= the old "this" and param = the "elapsed" parameter. For OnClick self = the old "this" and param = the "button" paramter etc...

***FUNCTIONS
Version 6.1 added the ability to create custom functions that are "compiled" to the private DART namespace table, they are NOT global. These functions can be called from any texture script or any of your other custom functions. See the Function Options section of the ReadMe.htm for more information.

***USING OLDER DART
If you load a DART profile imported from pre 5.0 version of Discord Art you may (most likely will) get errors due to scripting that is no longer valid. The WOW API has changed a lot so these will need some careful attention.

***IF YOU DO GET ERRORS, please post the full error message and a discription of what you were doing at the time.

For information on how to customise DART, the Readme.html in your "[WOW]\Interface\Addons\DiscordArt" folder is the place to go. It's old school like DART but it will get updated as required.

Discord Art Custom Textures a starter pack of artwork and a DiscordArt.lua file containing several profiles from a bygone era but still usable with some adjustments has be included under the Other Files tab above.

Sharing your DART configuration: Dreadlorde's Discord Custom Layout Extractors (The DART_Custom sub-folder) still works with Discord Art. You will need to enable "Out of date Addons" under the Addons button of the character selection screen. DART MUST be installed as well otherwise errors will be generated ie. only install the extracor(s) for the Discord addons you have installed. See the ReadMe file in each extractors folder for information on how to use DCLE.

Adding DART as a favourite here on WowInterface.com will ensure you receive an email only when Discord Art is updated.

Quick Script:
If you do have a bottom heavy UI and want to adjust your ViewPort to account for it (no more enemies getting the drop on you because part of your usable view screen is covered by art, buttons etc.) add something like the following (depending on screen resolution) to the OnLoad script of a texture that is displayed unconditionally.

Code:

local bottom = 30 -- 30 can be adjusted to any number depending on the height of your artwork.
self.ViewportOverlay = WorldFrame:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
self.ViewportOverlay:SetTexture(0, 0, 0, 1)
self.ViewportOverlay:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", -1, 1)
self.ViewportOverlay:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 1, -1)
local currentXResolution, currentYResolution = 1900 , 1200 -- Your screen resolution.
bottom = (bottom*(currentYResolution/1200))
WorldFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 0, 0)
WorldFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, (bottom * (2668 / currentYResolution)))

DART as a Simple Data Broker:
You can use Discord Art to display game information on your screen like a data broker. This means you can display the information you want in the way that suits you. The 10th screenshot shows the how the following examples look.

For these to work, under "Misc. Options" you need to set "Updates per second" to a reasonable value, I use 20.

The basics for all these examples are a new texture with no image file set and the texture Alpha set to zero. In the text tab, unclick the Hide box, set the default colour for your text and some default text so you can see where to place it on the screen. Move the texture to the required location. (you might need to adjust the text size depending on how much information you are going to display.

In the following scripts where _G["DART_Texture_nn_Text"] or DART_Text(nn, ...) is used, nn referes to the texture number displayed beside the texture name in the "Select Texture" dropdown.

The scripts (for Durability, Location, Gold, Time, Frame Rate and Latencey):

Durability (armor):
OnLoad

Code:

local text = _G["DART_Texture_nn_Text"];
text.variables["$co"] = true;
self.GetDurability = function(self)
    local t1 = nil
    local t2 = 0
    local t3 = 0
    local t5 = 100
    local current, full, name, pct
    local lowestCur,lowestFull = 500,0
    for i=1,19 do
        current, full = GetInventoryItemDurability(i) 
        if current and full then
            pct = floor(100*current/full + 0.5)
            if (pct < t5) then
                t5 = pct
            end
            if (current < lowestCur) then
                lowestCur = current
                lowestFull = full
            end
            t2 = t2 + current
            t3 = t3 + full
        end
    end
    t4 = format("%d/%d", lowestCur, lowestFull)
    if (t3 == 0) then
        t1 = "N/A"
    else
        t1 = floor(t2 * 100 / t3)
    end
    return  t1
end

OnUpdate

Code:

local durability = self:GetDurability()
local text = "Armor " .. durability .. "%"
if (type(durability) == "number") then
    if durability > 50 then
        text = string.format("$coff%2xff00", ((durability > 50) and (255 - 2.55*durability) or (2.55*durability)), durability) .. text
    else
        text = string.format("$coffff%2x00", (2.55*durability), durability) .. text
    end
else
    text = ""
end
DART_Text(nn, text)

Location (map coords):
OnLoad

Code:

self:RegisterEvent("ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA")

OnEvent

Code:

if param == "ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA" then
    SetMapToCurrentZone()
end

OnUpdate

Code:

local x,y = GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
local x = format("%.1f", x*100)
local y = format("%.1f", y*100)
DART_Text(nn, x .. " " .. y)

Gold (money):
OnLoad

Code:

local text = _G["DART_Texture_nn_Text"];
text.variables["$co"] = true;

OnUpdate
This asumes you have set the default text colour to your prefered colour for gold.

Code:

local m = GetMoney()
local gold = floor(m/10000)
local silver = floor((m - (10000*gold))/100)
local copper = m - (10000*gold) - (100*silver)
DART_Text(nn, gold .. "g $cofff0f0f0" .. silver .. "s $coffb46d24" .. copper .. "c")

Time (players current time of day):
OnUpdate

Code:

local minutes, hour, minute
local t = date("*t", time())
hour = t.hour
minute = t.min
minutes = (hour*60) + minute
if (minutes > 1440) then
    minutes = minutes - 1440
end
minutes = abs(minutes)
hour = floor(minutes/60)
minute = format("%02d", mod(minutes, 60))
local text
if minutes > 719 then
    if minutes > 779 then
        hour = floor(minutes/60) - 12
    end
    text = hour .. ":" .. minute .. " pm"
else
    if (hour == 0) then
        hour = 12
    end
    text = hour .. ":" .. minute .. " am"
end
DART_Text(nn, text)

Frame Rate (fps):
OnLoad
self.updateFrequency is how often you want the text to be updated so it doesn't drive you crazy flickering away. It is a multiple of the "Updates per second" you set under "Misc. Options". Here 60 is 3 times the 20 I use so the display updates every 3 seconds.

Code:

self.updateFrequency = 60
self.updatecount = 0

OnUpadte

Code:

self.updatecount = self.updatecount + 1
if self.updatecount ~= self.updateFrequency then
    return
end
self.updatecount = 0
DART_Text(nn, string.format("%0.i",GetFramerate()) .. " fps")

Latencey (ms):
OnUpdate

Code:

local _,_,latency = GetNetStats()
if latency > 500 then
    DART_TextColor(nn, 1, 0, 0, 1)
elseif latency > 200 then
    DART_TextColor(nn, 1, 1, 0, 1)
else 
    DART_TextColor(nn, 0, 1, 0, 1)
end
DART_Text(nn, latency .. " ms")

Dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format.

Re: Re: Re: Older artwork

I did some rumaging at the Wayback Machine and it led me to a few searches that eventually turned up this which might be what you are looking for or at least similar. You'll have to piece it together with DART or KgPanels or ....

The included readme.txt (setup information) should help.

I think this is/was just one varient on a theme.

Maybe a rummage around in the wayback machine might get you something (it's very flaky and the art may never have been hosted on the site so no guarantees).

A computer "fried" does not always mean data lost. Have you tried the drive in another computer?

While not being able to be particularly helpful in your specific case, I might cheekily suggest (if you are looking for something different) this

. It's not purple so I'll understand if it's not right for you

Thanks in advance!

Throwing "player" in the parentheses makes it happy, though I'm sure that won't work with vehicles that use combo points. (malygos raid comes to mind)

PS, thank you for updating this archaic behemoth. Left right after cata hit for a long while, got tired of trying to fix my DUF/DART every other patch. Squealed with joy when I saw this was getting updated again!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Floored!

Thank you dear, the copy feature is one of my favorite features of the mod. But please don't rush on my account. I completely understand that this is a major process. Btw, I was able to recreate the problem by using the copy option

I was just getting ready to post that up when I came here.

And as a side issue, I noticed that during editing, the Role Icon does not "hide" when you tell it to. (Under Self category at least) I have not played a role, so I am unsure if it really hides or not when not in editing mode. This seems pretty minor to me.

I don't know what "taintlog" is, sorry..

First, the piece of info you requested, I hope I got it all, let me know fi I missed something. Also a point to note at the moment, in game, nothing in the combo section is working. Not nudge, not retexturing, nothing. Also, previously it showed the 5 combo points as if you were in edit mode, even though I was not, but this time, they are nowhere to be found. I tried multiple times to tick and untick "hide" But as I said, nothing in that section appears to be working at the moment.

Lua Code:

["ComboPoints"] = {
                ["bgcolor"] = {
                    ["b"] = 0,
                    ["g"] = 0,
                    ["r"] = 0,
                },
                ["borderalpha"] = 0,
                ["color"] = {
                    ["b"] = 0,
                    ["g"] = 1,
                    ["r"] = 1,
                },
                ["bgalpha"] = 1,
                ["spacing"] = 14,
                ["mouseovercolor"] = {
                    ["b"] = 0,
                    ["g"] = 1,
                    ["r"] = 1,
                },
                ["size"] = 27,
                ["bgpadding"] = 5,
                ["attach"] = "Unit Frame",
                ["bordercolor"] = {
                    ["b"] = 0,
                    ["g"] = 0,
                    ["r"] = 0,
                },
                ["backgroundstyle"] = 2,
                ["hidebg"] = 1,
                ["alpha"] = 1,
                ["xoffset"] = 0,
                ["attachpoint"] = "BOTTOM",
                ["attachto"] = "TOP",
                ["yoffset"] = 92,
            },
            ["middleclick"] = 2,
            ["connectmethod"] = 1,

I'm not keen on using 3rd party libraries and even moreso with Discord addons and dread the though of having to create a whole dropdown framework.

As for combo points I've never had a problem. My main is a rogue, I'll see if I can find out what's happening. If you could post up the ["ComboPoints"] section from the DiscordUnitFrames.lua file in SavedVariables I'll test it out.

Thanks for reporting, it is greatly appreciated.

As for kgPanels, and eePanels, I never liked them. It has been a long time since I used either, but there was little to know graphical interface for either when I tried them out. It makes everything easier for me when I can see what I am doing. I don't want to type in 3 billion slash commands. (Hence the reasoning behind my fly-out menu

)

Having no mouseover keybinding isn't too big of a deal in my opinion. A bit of a hassle and a longer process, but you can use the build in frame identifier of DART, that should tell you which action bar and button you are over, lol. Of course, I am not too big on keybindings. I only use " ` - 0 " and the middle mouse button. So I suppose that could be why I feel it is no big deal.
Based on how dead I had heart DAB was, major kudos to you for getting it semi-working

Side note: I plan to work on my Discord Unit Frames tomorrow. As I was messing with it yesterday I got a few errors. One major thing I noticed was combo points didn't seem to be working. I didn't get any error logs or anything, but I plan to document what I find tomorrow.
And no errors were noticed while using DART

As for RDX, I couldn't find a theme I liked and I'm not smart enough to build and entire UI from scratch. I guess I'm backward, it was easier for me to get DUF to work with the configuration I had than find another addon and get it to do what I wanted, and I did try a few. As for artwork, it seems kgPanels is probably the most popular replacement after DART and eePanels died.

I did get DAB working enough to show the bars and get the options window working and was amazed at the flexability of bar/button arrangement along with control boxes and floaters although, I think I might have had to kill myself with no mouseover keybinding

I took a look at RDX and some themes. It seems to be a very thorough addon. But I was disappointed that there was no easy options (that I could find) to change scale and size of entire frames. For example, on one of the themes I liked, the Unit Frames were just too small for my liking. And based on what I found, I would have had to change the scale/size of each individual element pertaining to the Unit Frame. The mod would work well for creating your own theme, but as far as trying to use an "out of the box" theme, I didn't like it, and will definitely stick to Dart. Years of experience with Dart also influence that decision. I know Dart like the back of my hand once I got past the first 15 minutes or so of relearning it. Lol

FAB, is a fabulous name. Works really well!

I use dominoes as well. Nice and simple set up, so I am able to get in the game quickly. The only problem with the Discord mods, is that there is so much to do, I can easily get dragged into tinkering with my UI for hours like I did yesterday.

Nothing against Tuller, but I have seen many authors continue addons after they quit playing, but there comes a time when the updates start slowing down and eventually stop. Having a backup mod that you can use is always a good idea.
And random remembrance of a great feature in Dab.. The ability to make AB 1 have 5 buttons, and have all the unused buttons available to add to other ABs lol. So I was able to have 1 bar stretch the length of my screen if I wanted, instead of docking 2 or 3 of them together. Kind of pointless now that I added that last bit of the sentence.. but there was also the option of texturing and coloring. I don't think that is available with Dominos, though I never dug very deep into it.

Ok I've babbled enough for the moment haha.

Once 5.2 settles down I might take a look again.. Fizzle Action Bars.. FAB.. yeah that sounds modern although better than a Fizzle re-write of DART

.

I had a look at Bouvi's Auto LootFu WotLK and it was an elegant, simple ie. great idea. Might I add, it has been subsumed by current addons (I use Xloot).

There is a dead addon out there, called AutoLoot, I believe, by Bouvi, that one really was inspired by me

lol

It is very true that a complete rewrite would cause it to not truly be DAB. As long as permission has been given for the mods, which has. I don't see too much in the way of calling it DAB. A couple mods for example, HealBot and Decursive, I believe both had needed complete rewrites when Blizzard broke everything. But they are still owning the same name.

Of course, they may or may not have the original authors as well, which changes the circumstances again. Or you could always add in "Revived" or "Fan Update" or even "Renewed" to the name as I have seen in some places.
