oUF

oUF is a unit frame framework. It attempts to simplify the process of writing unit frames for WoW by doing all the trivial and painfully boring parts for you. So you can focus more on experimenting with the look of the frames.

Please report issues through the author of the layout you are using. The issue is in many cases inside the layout.

This add-on will do nothing just by itself, a layout is required.

A full changelog can be found: here.

Layout examples:

Bug reports and feature requests should be posted over at the author portal.

Change Log - oUF

Changes from 1.2
- Note this release is untested.
- Removed all 2.4 piggy ride code.
- Added fallback texture to threat.
- Added Health.colorHealth. b:4763
- Portraits no longer require a type variable. b:4764
- CPoints are changed slightly. They will now require a unit variable set to override the frame unit. b:4796
- Handle how debuff type can be an empty string b:4786, b:4805, b:4806

Changes from 1.1.4
- Arguments on :Spawn has been changed.
- Added fallback texture to the castbar.
- Targeting units that are casting now shows the castbar correctly.
- Support for sub-units on headers.
- A template has been including as an example of the above.

Changes from 1.1.3
- Corrected the castbars spark position.
- The [sex] tag now correctly returns Male/Female.

Changes from 1.1.2
- Safe zone now behaves as before the castbar review.
- Properly hide the castbar between targets.

Changes from 1.1.1
- Several castbar issues have been fixed.
- Note that this version only maintains compatibility on live. Most layouts will have to be updated to work correctly with WotLK. This is due to the changes made to unit reaction colors.

Changes from 1.1
- Frequent power update is no longer hard-coded.
- You can set the multiplier for the power/health background with Power.bg.multiplier.
- Added a fallback texture on: power, health, leader, raid icon and happiness.
- We now only display a leader icon on units in your own party.
- Two new elements have been added: threat (wotlk only) and tags.
- The power/health bar can now color class for NPC with .colorClassNPC.
- Castbar.safezone has been renamed to Castbar.SafeZone. oUF will make a reference for you however (note that this is only done to retain compat. This _will_ be removed in 1.2).
- Embedding of oUF is now possible.

Changes from 1.0.4
- here

Changes from 1.0.3
- Fixed an issue with channeling.

Changes from 1.0.2
- Fixed an issue with spell interrupts.

Changes from 1.0.1
- Added support for casting bars.

Changes from 1.0
- Allow QuickHealth and the likes to override the health functions.

Look, I admire you - both as a coder and as an innovator. You made unitframes that are so rare to find. Offer the most customization I've ever witnessed. And I wouldn't be me, if I didn't try to support it with my entire body (which is rather substantial), and bugs will occur. It's life in code.

Anyhow, I'll go work on that gcd plugin a little :P

1. I don't really care what other authors do, and what their opinion on a related matter is. What you should do however, is to post it as a feature request, and something will happen when it happens.
Regarding the current display of safe zones on channeled spells: That's actually a bug, and it will only display the safe zone based on the previous spell cast.

2) This is really something I found outside the scope of a castbar on a unit frame. It could even be handled by an external add-on.

We agree on 2, I should have specified that I wanted to see if I could write a plugin to have that bar. Because, yes, it is out of the scope of a castbar.

On one. Well, thanks. That's all I can say. Nice kick. I didn't request a feature, I answered someone who did, with a possible solution for him to put in a layout he uses. For which I obviously should apologize for posting it.

1. I posed the same question to the author of azcastbar http://www.wowinterface.com/download....html#comments a few comments down. is there some reason for not including the safezone for channeled casts?

2. quartz has a linear spark similar to a power spark that moves above the cast bar to represent the GCD, so you don't have to glance at your action bars, rather maintaining your focus on the are near the castbar. would this be possible to implement, similar to oUF Powerspark, but with a haste-corrected GCD rather than the 5 second rule, and position it arbitrarily (although likely fixed to be the same length as the castbar)?

1. I play a shadowpriest, so I heavily use Mind Flay, a channeled spell. I do get the safezone, but it's at the end of the bar. (Not the beginning, where a channeled spell ends.) I've been looking into how to change it, perhaps in the core, perhaps in the layout. I would guess you can do it either way, all it requires is the self.SafeZone to make a distinction between cast and channel, and anchor the safezone in the right place.

2. Again, I too have been looking at that, since I am now trying to play without actionbars, I would like to see that gcd. We'll see it when/if we get there

Ok so... noob question: How am I going to create my own layout? Any ingame command lines? Or I have to muck around in the lua files? If the last... thats not really "simplifying" the usage for a common player.

The description says it attempts to simplify the process of writing unit frames. In other words: It does "all" the "crap" that demotivates the average author from writing a unit frame add-on.

oUF isn't really aimed for the common player, it's aimed towards authors mainly. It however makes it possible to make a full set of fully working frames by mainly doing the layout code only. There are other unit frame add-ons that have a goal like the one you want however; like PitBull, ag_UnitFrames and Aura Unit Frames.

The case with oUF was that I really never wanted to do proper releases of it. I use it mainly to maintain two unit frame layouts, without having to maintain two cores. Other people saw it useful however, and started to create their own layouts for it, and eventually posted them here on WoWI. At that point it was pretty logic to do a release of the core these authors used also.

Now to the point I managed to write myself away from: oUF _does_ simplify the whole process. You mainly (only) have to write how the frames should look, and oUF will do most of the internal work (such as actually updating them). This means that you end up with a unit frame add-on on 100~300 LoC total, instead of 800~3000. oUF itself it 1800 LoC (counting comments, empty lines and all that tho'), so in the end it decreases the overall effort of writing a unit frame by quite a lot.

chers.

This isn't really the correct place for such questions. I've created this thread now however...
