lightweight Raid Frames?

I could really use some nice simple raidframes, with a minimum of req. Of both the system and the user.

I love Stuf Unit Frames for my player, target, party, pet and focus. And I would love a minimalistic raid unitframe addon.

I'm not smart enough to use Hastes Unitframes (oUF), and those who are usually bundle raidframes with partyframes or something else (p3lim made some great ones... only combined them with partyframes 'oUF Perfect').

What I need to complete my UI is raidframes were I can setup the texture to match the one I use in my Stuf Unit Frames through sharelib.
I would need:
Healthbars colored by class
Mana/energy/rage bar
Nametext
Agroindicator
OOR fading
MT healthbar
MT target

No more!

If I could use oUF I would – but I'm not smart enough.
I don't wanna use pitbull or any other 'we can do it all but use a lot of resources doing it' add on.

If someone could instruct me how to remove the party from p3lims oUF Perfect raidframes, and how to change the texture, then search is over. But maybe I've overlooked the raidframes somewere – or someone cleaver needs what I need, and desides to make them...

Best regards!

PerfectRaid seems to match most of those requirements.

Indeed - but I've had a few problems (like others), and Cladhere has not have time to update it for a while. It's a fine raid-tool.

Rumor has it that there may be a new raid addon on it's way :cool: So I'll proberly just wait untill it arrives.

I like Grid. Not sure how to configure MT stuff.

sRaidFrames. Not very pretty, but very functional.

You don't need to be smart when there are layouts ready to be used! Enjoy ;)

I still prefer them over Grid.

Ye true, if u will pick up some1s layout u can easily use oUF... Its not harder then lets say use sRaidFrames... And really oUF>anything else thanks to the great options it brings...

Normally, I'd definitely agree. I'm a oUF fan myself (using a modified oUF_AI layout), but there are no current layouts that compare in function and adaptability to sRaidFrames... atm. And for me, Grid 'feels', too clunky (for lack of a better description). oRA + sRaidFrames = happy raiding (for me).

Depends on a person, i can do anything in oUF u have in sRaidFrames, i even took important buff indication system (like shield wall etc etc) and ported it to my ouf layout, but my ouf takes like mmm 10kb of memory and sRaidFrames take like 2-3M depending on a raid situation, thou i do agree that for un-experienced user sRaidFraims is rather good choice.

For example, I can setup different "layouts" with sRaid for any particular class I play. On my Mage/Druid (or any dispelling class), I can amp up my debuff highlighting or easily track heals..etc. With an oUF layout, I'd have to exit game, make whatever adjustments (edit the code or swap for a modified layout)... then I could log onto a class that I benefited from doing this. In order to not have that functionality for a class that has no use for it, I'd have to repeat the process... and with sRaid I could just swap out in game... as needed. I hope this makes sense :o. But if you only play one class/role, then a well defined oUF layout for your needs -would- be superior.

For Party, Self, Target, Pet, ToT..etc, I would like to think I'll never abandon my oUF layout, though. It's just perfect in every way for how I play. It's set up perfectly for every class I play... for me.

It really does just boil down to personal preference, in the end. :)

Nothing stopping you from setting up a table like :

Code:

oUF.indicators={

        buffs = {



            ["Grace"] = {"1A7AAF","6AB8EC","ffffff"},



                ["PoM"] = {"528EFF","43F3C6","45E836","8ADD2A","D0D21F","C69F15"},

                ["Lifebloom"] = {"A7FD0A","6AB8EC","ffffff"},

                



        }, 

        fonts = {

                ["DEFAULT"] = {

                        offsets = {x = 0, y = 0},

                        size = 8.5,

                        name = "Interface\\Addons\\oUF_Tags\\media\\visitor.ttf",

                        outline = "OUTLINE",

                        alignH = "CENTER",

                },

                ["TOPLEFT"] = {

                        offsets = {x = 0, y = 3},

                        ["BOTTOMRIGHT"] = ""



                }



        }



}

Since haste implemented that tag feature, i have this table setup in a seperate module for my layouts.

For example, the tag in their for my priest : '[painsupress]'

is eventually thrown into a fontstring when the frame is built .

Code:

function createIndicatorGroup(object,anchor,objectAnchor,fontDB, tags)

    group = objectAnchor:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")

    group:SetFont(fontDB.name, fontDB.size, fontDB.outline)

    group:SetPoint(anchor, objectAnchor, anchor, fontDB.offsets.x, fontDB.offsets.y)

    group:SetJustifyH(fontDB.alignH)

    object:Tag(group,tags)

    group:Show()

    return group

end





function generateAuraGroups(object)

    if not object.AuraIndicator then return end

    object.FontObjects = object.FontObjects or {}

    

    for index,tags in pairs(oUF.indicators.class[playerClass])do

        local auraGroup = createIndicatorGroup(object, index, object.Health, oUF.indicators.fonts[index], tags)

        object.FontObjects[index] = {

                name = "Aura Indicator Group : ".. index,

                object = auraGroup

        }

    end

end

 

for index, object in ipairs(oUF.objects) do  generateAuraGroups(object) end

it tells the ouf core to run this function when the 'UNIT_AURA' event occurs on the unitframe.

Code:

oUF.Tags["[painsupress]"] = function(u) if not NeedsIndicators(u)then return end; return UnitAura(u, "Pain Suppression") and "|cff33FF33+|r" or "" end



oUF.TagEvents["[painsupress]"] = "UNIT_AURA"

Im working on ace3ConfigGui support for my singleton layout, next i do the same for my raid layout.

I know both sraidframes and grid and other options, but I don't consider them lightweight.

If I had the knowledge of Balkeep and others I would surely make my own in oUF. Even with the insight from other layouts, I still find it difficult to manouver in oUF.

Thank you all for your replys!
