Ya basically I want the panels to be positioned in roughly the same screen location no matter what screen resolution I am using I am going to check this out and see if this will work.

What is the purpose of the frame you want to display? A little more detail will get you much better help :).

An extra panel is displayed when I am in the raid then you can see where to Grid and Decursive.

A static frame shouldn't be hard at all. You tell it the dimensions of your frame and parent it to whatever raid frame you wish. Find the frame's name via a mouse-over script, or the addon MoveAnything! can also give you the exact frame name.

Assuming you are using a texture, I'll give an example. This will only show the panel frame when the raid frame is there, and will disappear when the raid frame is not there.

Code:

{ name="TheNameOfYourFrame", parent="YourRaidFrameName", tex_file="YourTextureFileNameInMediaFolder.tga", 

      bg_alpha=.95, anchor_to="CENTER", width="735", height="575", y_off = 143, x_off = -143 },

Fill in TheNameOfYourFrame with the name of your frame, YourRaidFrameName with your raid frame name you want to parent it to..etc.... Don't remove the quotes, they belong there. Adjust width, height, x and y position according to your needs. Be sure to have a tga or blp texture that meets WoW's standards in the media folder inside the LitePanels addon folder. There are texture packs available on the site for download as well :), if you care to use them.

I hope this helps, and wasn't overkill on information you already knew. If you want a dynamic panel (adjusts to size), then hopefully someone with more skill than I have can help (if it's possible). There's more information inside the example layout.lua file also, if needed.

A width or height of "100%" would do just that. It can be adjusted pixel by pixel by using the inset attribute. :)

For the moment, a % uses the parent's dimensions, but the next version will use anchor_frame's.

if blah blah blah = "15", then "201%";
end... }
etc.. situation. Does that even make any sense?:confused:

Sorry for the terrible example, I've been studying button/bar api and lua manual for about 14 hours and have work in 1 1/2 hours... I hate my OCD and already (before fixations..) abnormal sleep habits. All of which should should make my lazy example inexcusable... but there it is.:rolleyes:

Well, yes and no, you can use any n% as the width/height, but it currently cannot be changed on the fly like in your example since the config is only read once.

It's totally possible to implement that sort of behavior. For instance, allowing width/height to be a function and change itself conditionally.

But for the time being, to alter the width/height as a % conditionally, something like this could be used...

Code:

OnUpdate = function(self)

    local height, width

    if true then

        height = "100%"

    elseif condition == 5 then

        height = "201%"

    end

    width = "100%"



    local pwidth, pheight = self:GetParent():GetWidth(), self:GetParent():GetHeight()



    if width then self:SetWidth(strmatch(width,"%%") and pwidth * strmatch(width, "(%d+)%%") * .01 or width) end

    if height then self:SetHeight(strmatch(height,"%%") and pheight * strmatch(height, "(%d+)%%") * .01 or height) end

end

Simply Clock/WG Timer Display

Awesome add-on. I see a lot of potential in this once I learn more about lua.
I never figured out why your lua code never worked for me... But it gave me a good start for the Clock and WG timer codes. Not sure how they are in terms of efficiency but it appears to work fine, I have yet to test the clock in PM range and yet to test the WG timer in progress and in an instance away from map, but I guess it should get the timer from our BG queueing window.

Code:

-- Left mid-section of the box

{        name = "BoxLx",

        anchor_to = "TOP",

        width = 140,                height = 20,

        gradient = "H",

        bg_color = "CLASS",        gradient_color = "CLASS",

        bg_alpha = 0,                gradient_alpha = 0.2,

},

-- Right mid-section

{        name = "BoxRx",                parent = "BoxLx",

        anchor_to = "LEFT",        anchor_from = "RIGHT",

        width = "100%",                height = "100%",

        gradient = "H",

        bg_color = "CLASS",        gradient_color = "CLASS",

        bg_alpha = 0.2,                gradient_alpha = 0,

},

-- Top Left gradient line

{        name = "LineTLx",

        parent = "BoxLx",        anchor_to = "TOP",

        width = "100%",                height = 1,

        gradient = "H",

        bg_color = "CLASS",        gradient_color = "CLASS",

        bg_alpha = 0,                gradient_alpha = 0.8,

                GameTooltip:Show()

        end,

        OnLeave = HideTT,

        OnClick = function(_,b) (b == "RightButton" and ToggleTimeManager or ToggleCalendar)() end



},

All code credited to Katae, I modified it to work for me since I couldn't get the original one to work.
Edit:
So after adding in the tooltip part, I noticed mousing over back and forth, the tooltip doesn't disappear instantaneously, in fact, sometimes it seems random as if it takes forever until it disappears when moving my mouse up and down. left and right mousing motion seems better it seems.
Also after enabling tooltip, is there a function supported to disable mouse clicks? say if I were to remove the OnClick function?

Thanks :)

I forgot to add the "HideTT" function I have in my original code, which is attached to OnLeave. Sorry about that. Change it to this code so it works properly.

Code:

function() ToggleFrame(GameTooltip) end

Mouse interaction is enabled automatically for OnClick, OnEnter, and OnLeave. None of those actions would do anything otherwise.

Also, I wonder if it didn't work because of my font, did you remove that bit?

I took this lua text from the "LuaTexts" thread in EJ, which collects some lua stuff for Pitbull. Since it's a bit different to import that to LitePanels, I'm wondering what's the correct way to update this info:

Code:

local base, posBuff, negBuff = UnitRangedAttackPower("player");

local ap = base + posBuff + negBuff;

local cr,arpp, hrp = GetRangedCritChance(), GetCombatRatingBonus(25), GetCombatRatingBonus(7)

local cr = format("%.2f", cr)

local hrp = format("%.2f", hrp)

local arpp = format("%.2f", arpp)



return "AP: "..ap.." crit: "..cr.."% ArP: "..arpp.."% hit: "..hrp.."%"

end

So it's supposed to show your current ranged attack power, crit, armor penetration & hit. Of those four, at least RAP & crit will change during combat, and ArP too if you have e.g. an item that procs ArP. I'm interested in getting them show without much delay, but without unnecessary updating. I've put it for now in your money/fps/memory/latency script so that "update = 1," but I figure that might not be the best way to do it?

It would be possible to RegisterEvent to UNIT_STATS, UNIT_DAMAGE, COMBAT_RATING_UPDATE (tested with /eventtrace, and at least ArP triggers this) in your OnLoad function, then assign your variables and output the string to the text object within the OnEvent function.

I don't think it would be necessary to check if specific stats have changed, since your variable assignments are pretty light already. I imagine that these events may, at times, fire more than a 1 sec timer during a raid scenario, but I don't believe it would make a noticeable impact on performance.

Made big changes to the layout and profile system with 1.5 and edited some of my posts to reflect them. Older layout code should still work with this version.

Hi,
Ive juist updated to the latest version and i'm having an issue with my code and cant figure out whats wrong with it.

The error mrssage i get is:
ID: -1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\LitePanels\layout.lua line 473:
unexpected symbol near ')'

the full code is here: Pastebin Link (ps line 473 in my layout lua is line 189 on the pastebin)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

10-11-09 03:29 PM

Is there more to the file? That code alone doesn't produce an error for me. There must be a syntax error somewhere else.

But there is one problem, your layout is contained in an extra pair of braces. http://pastebin.com/m6f1bff10

Any idea how to make a frame hide/show in combat? like i have a dps frame, but i dont wanna see it when im not in combat :)

EDIT: Or rather, making it so it doesn't show unless it's updated, like if you are a healer, you dont want a dps frame showing, but want it show on a dps char. If you follow how i mean ;)

This should get you going ;)

Code:

{ width=50, height=50,

  OnLoad=function(self)

    self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED'

    self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED'

    self:Hide()

  end,

  OnEvent=function(self) ToggleFrame(self) end

}

You'll probably need to make a custom function to check if the character is a healer and not a deeps, probably by checking where they put their talent points.

Yay, that code worked, although i had to work with it a bit to make it fit with my layout ;)

Anyhow, that wasn't how i meant really. I meant if you could make it ONLY show it when u do damage to something, in compilation with the hide/show in combat. So when you dont do damage in combat, it stays hidden :)

EDIT: Hmm, now i notice something weird... The frame like is like flashing shown/hidden all the time o.O Seems to happen when i just do something, like moving the mouse or typing something o.O Can provide u with the code, see if u can find the problem ;)

Code:

-- DPS Frame

{        name = "DPS", anchor_to = "BOTTOM", y_off = "175",

        text = {

                string = function(self)

                        self = self:GetParent()

                        self.dps = self.active and format("%.1f", self.damage / (GetTime() - self.starttime)) or self.dps or "0.0"

                        return self.dps.." dps" -- "5433.4 dps"

                end, update = 0.5, color = {1,1,1}, size = 15, shadow=2, font = "Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF",

        },

        OnLoad = function(self)

                self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_PET")

                self:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")

                self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

                self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")

                self.events = "SWING_DAMAGE RANGE_DAMAGE SPELL_DAMAGE SPELL_PERIODIC_DAMAGE DAMAGE_SHIELD DAMAGE_SPLIT"

                self.player, self.pet, self.damage, self.active = UnitGUID'player', UnitGUID'pet' or '0x0', 0, false

                self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED'

                self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED'

                self:Hide()

        end,

        OnEvent = function(self, event, ...) ToggleFrame(self) 

                if event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then

                        local _,spellevent,unit,_,_,_,_,_,type,_,_,damage = ...

                        if not strmatch(self.events,spellevent) then return end

                        if unit == self.player or unit == self.pet then

                                if spellevent == "SWING_DAMAGE" then damage = type end

                                self.damage = self.damage + damage

                        end

                end

                if event == "UNIT_PET" then self.pet = UnitGUID'pet' or '0x0' end

                if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then self.active = false end

                if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then

                        self.starttime, self.damage, self.active = GetTime(), 0, true

                end

        end,

        OnClick = function(self, button)

                if button == "RightButton" then

                        self.starttime, self.damage, self.dps = GetTime(), 0, '0.0'

                        self.text:SetText("0.0 dps")

                end

        end

        },

Take out the RegisterEvents I gave you since it is already registered on your side. Instead of the toggle, you can approach this another way by showing when damage is done and hiding when leaving combat.

Thanks for that, I will give that a try when I get back from work this afternoon.
The only other information in the file is the coding notation, will try it with creating a new LUA file.

Just a bit of code i want to share. Use this in a text element and it will display when you have new mail.

Code:

string = function()

local hasMail = HasNewMail()

local MailText

if (hasMail == 1) then

MailText = format("%s", "New Mail!")

else

MailText = format("%s", "No Mail")

end

return MailText

end,

One thing that still buggers me that keeps me from completely go from kgPanels to LitePanels is the way that it works with blending textures...

for example, here's a screenshot with kgPanels (and LitePanels for gradient style) that im currently using:

but when i switch entirely to LitePanels (used class color gradient this time), it shows like this:

It doesn't blend in as nicely as kgPanel does or is there a way to do that?

You can use blend modes in litepanels with blend = "ADD" (if you didn't try this already). If that doesn't help, maybe I can take a look to compare your layout and your kgpanels WTF settings.

Hey there katae, I was curious as to why my border is showing up so funny? It is on the panel I want but it has some grey around it as well and I don't understand why its doing that >.> Here is the screeny:

http://i49.tinypic.com/x40huh.jpg

and here is the layout for this particular panel:

Code:

{        name = "Actionbar", 

                        anchor_to = "CENTER", 

                        y_off = -419,

                        width = 482, 

                        height = 100,

                        bg_color = {0.30,0.30,0.30},

            strata = "LOW",        

                        border = "glowtex", border_color = "0 0 0",

                },

Also, just to clarify I mean this: http://i50.tinypic.com/11ttw6o.png

so I dont confizzle you as to what border im talking about :P

You know what Katae, never mind. I just saw there was a border_size and Im just an idiot! :) Sorry to bug you lol

Still quite strange and a likely bug, the default border_size is 16 and inset is supposed to be set to border_size / 4 even when only border is given.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention ;)

edit - Bug: When setting border_size, it sets inset to that number instead of the 0.25 multiplier as intended. Normally, if that multiplier doesn't yield the right inset size you need, you'd set inset manually, i.e inset = 16.

Long story short, in the next update you'll need to make use of inset if your border/inset doesn't match up. I'll probably hold off uploading until the 3.3 toc update.

I hope it was okay, as I seen some other Uis using litepanels, I included it in my package for noVeL Ui.

Heres a preview - http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw33674.jpg

Much love to this awesome addon, it does so much more than I could imagine from kgPanels and I actually have to have less knowledge to use litepanels! :)

Thank you katae :)

Having trouble

Sadly, i'm having trouble getting this addon to show anything on my screen.

-I saved "layout_example" as "layout.lua" to the LitePanels folder in the addons folder, then enabled the addon on the character select screen. Nothing.

-Next, i wiped "layout.lua" and replaced it with the code you suggested under 'getting started' above, hoping to see the same bar in the screen shot. Restarted the game. Nothing.

At this point, i'm convinced i either A) am not putting "layout.lua" in the right place, or else B) i am missing some critical piece of code that should enable the whole thing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Your layout should look something like this. Make sure you don't have any syntax errors.

Thanks. That helped immensely.

And i have to say, that's some pretty quick service! Blizz could learn a thing or two from you :) Happy holiday.

I wanna copy your panel in the first one, but it keeps having me copying numbers. Could you post another one?

Thanks, so if I wanna move it, do you have any addons that tell you the X and Y offset in-game? It might help :D

Here's a simple macro I just wrote for the x-y coords of the cursor.

Code:

/script local x,y=GetCursorPosition() local scale=UIParent:GetEffectiveScale() print(format(" x=%d y=%d",x/scale,y/scale))

Hi just wondering if its possible to set a standand text format for all texts applied to my layout?

i.e. So when I changed the standard text formatting all my texts change.

Easy, just create variables for your font at the beginning of your layout config, ie:

Code:

local text = {

  font = "Interface\\AddOns\\Path\\to\\font.ttf",

  size = 16,

  color = "1 1 1",

  -- etc

}



-- and for your text configs:

text = { font = text.font, size = text.size, color = text.color }

Is there anyway I can make my panels say 1% of from the edges of the screen, with a standard issue width and height for a panel.

If you're anchoring to the edge of the screen, you can set your x_off or y_off to "1%" and it will move the panels 1% of your screen height/width. You can also set your panel's height or width to "98%" and that will account for the 1% on both ends.

/script ToggleHelpFrame()

Added to the panel? :) Thanks in advanced and im sorry but i have no idea how to go about doing this :O

Use the OnClick attribute:

Code:

OnClick = function(self, button)

    if button == "LeftButton" then

        -- do something

    elseif button == "RightButton" then

        -- do something else

    end

end

You can also check for modifiers with IsShiftKeyDown() or IsAltKeyDown().
