This addon adds a HUD to your UI, showing all the information normally displayed by the Player and Target frames and more.
Always thought it was a shame that Drathal's HUD was given up on the way it was so, I have taken the core of that code and MetaMorphed it.
Added some features which I thought were pretty useful, and removed some of the excess stuff. Decided to release it, as no doubt there are others who enjoyed this as much as me.
Full credit to the original author of course, for the initial code.

=========
Health/Mana Bars colour levels.
All Bars are animated.
Shows Level, Name, Class and Elite/Boss, Pet, NPC.
4 Alpha Settings for: Combat/Target selected/No Target/Player is regging.

Change Log - MetaHud
02 April 2008 - v20400-3
Argh! - 2 minutes after upload I realised I included wrong file in archive.
This one contains the correct chat alert sequence, and does the CC alert correctly.
02 April 2008 - v20400-2
Updated the recommended CC macro further up this page.
Removed chat alert mouse click from flight timer display.
Added new keybinding to the system keybindings for all chat alerts.
Set key in keybindings which will then produce the following chat alerts when used:
No Hud: Pastes your current location into message box for current channel.
Hud showing: Pastes your current target into message box for current channel.
In Flight: Pastes your flight destination/ETA into message box for current channel.
Active CC: Pastes time left on CC into message box for current channel.
29 March 2008 - v20400-1
Fixed flight timer errors for new flight paths and some other minor fixes.

The "regeneration" state of MetaHud persists after you get to full health and mana after you rez from a spirit healer. From what I have tested this appears to be the only time this happens.
whoha... One of the commands of MetaHud is now blocked by bliizzard UI after the season patch :S. It suddenly popup when trying to kill alliance forces in a battleground. No message error :S
Originally posted by nikorl I made some modification to this system, so you can rightclick on bars to show menu:
1) search for "create all Frames" words in metahud.lua
2) add this block:
MetaHud_LeftFrame:EnableMouse(true);
MetaHud_RightFrame:EnableMouse(true);
MetaHud_LeftFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
if(arg1 == "RightButton") then
ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, MetaHud_Player_DropDown, "MetaHud_LeftFrame", -100, 180);
end
end );
MetaHud_RightFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
if(arg1 == "RightButton") then
ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, MetaHud_Target_DropDown, "MetaHud_RightFrame", 60, 180);
end
end );
and you got it!
rightclick on left (player) bars will show player menu
rightclick on right (target's) bars will show target menu
p.s. this fix was made for "player on left, target on right" layout
Why is this not already part of the addon? If this hud could do this simple thing it would be the god of all mods.
im having a strange problem, so ive loved using metahud, but i want to try some different things.. .the problem is this if i uninstall or disable metahud the default player and target frames dissappear... and the only way ive found of restoring them is to reinstall metahud and check them to appear in the options... but as soon as i remove it again, bam they're gone
Originally posted by Niveras I suspect the issue with sunders not displaying properly is due to MetaHud relying on the combat log for when they get applied. The sunder count appears when you switch targets because MetaHud then checks for debuffs the target has and updates the count apppropriately.
Personally I am using a very old version, and have no idea whether MetaHud has been updated since 2.4, but it seems likely it has not been updated to understand the combat log properly. I haven't looked at the MetaHud code and couldn't interpret even if I did, but I think this is the most likely explanation if there are coders willing to look at it.
Not sure about 20400-3, but on 20400-1 I edited the MetaHud.lua file as follows (Orange original, Purple my addition): Start Snip---->>>>>>>>>
Code:
--- OnEvent --
function MetaHud:OnEvent()
--- debug
self:printd("MainEvent: "..event);
--- init HUD
if event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" then
self.vars_loaded = 1;
self:firstload();
--- zoning
elseif event == "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" then
self.enter = 1;
if self:firstload() then return; end
if self.issetup ~= 2 then return; end
if self.isinit ~= 2 then return; end
self:init();
--- update HEALTH Bars
elseif(event == "UNIT_HEALTH" or event == "UNIT_HEALTHMAX") then
if arg1 == "player" then
self:UpdateValues("MetaHud_PlayerHealth_Text");
elseif arg1 == "target" then
self:UpdateValues("MetaHud_TargetHealth_Text");
elseif arg1 == "pet" then
self:UpdateValues("MetaHud_PetHealth_Text");
end
self:updateAlpha();
--- Fix to update Sunder
self:UpdateCombos();
--- update MANA Bars
------<<<<end snip
As far as i can tell the Sunder event won't register properly, so this was my fix. Probably very inefficient but then im not a coder, i just read through and figured this event does fire as it should.

So im a healer and i thought this would be a nice addon to keep a better watch on my mana. It seems nice. But, is there no way to disable my health bar?, i just want my mana bar.
Just today I logged in and the HUD is not updating when I shift from Cat form-Bear-Caster. I click on the button on mini-map and it updates, but it does register anything until I click the button, not even health/mana changes for me or my targeted mob. any ideas?

Thank you, work fine, but you must do a /reloadui.
