Temporary Fix to new class bars

[Xrystal]

Whilst I've been using other addons for my warlock and paladin they have other elements that I do not need.

Now, seeing as we are patiently ( stress on the last word there ) waiting for an update to include the new bars I thought I would rig up a temporary work around to allow us to place the bars where we want them for now and have nUI keep track of them for us. How nice of nUI to do that for us rofl.

I won't upload this addon as an official addon as it is only temporary in nature to use in the interim if you don't like the functionality of the other addons being used instead.

I don't have a boomkin to test the eclipse bar on but I have set it up to work the same as the other bars so should work fine.

Just use /nui movers and you should see mover frames for them. However, the Shaman totem timer buttons I have automatically attached to the shaman totem bar to have them appear directly underneath the totem button that they reflect. Blizz deals with updating it however, all I did was reparent the timer bar to the totem bar and reposition the individual buttons.

For those that want to see exactly what I did .. here's the code segment for each bar:

local function PTM_WSSInit()
	
	ShardBarFrame:SetParent(nil);
	ShardBarFrame:SetParent(UIParent);
	ShardBarFrame:SetPoint("CENTER");
	if ShardBarFrame then nUI_Movers:lockFrame( ShardBarFrame, true, "nUI_XShardBarFrame" ); end
	
end

local function PTM_STBInit()

	TotemFrame:SetParent(nil);
	TotemFrame:SetParent(MultiCastActionBarFrame);
	TotemFrameTotem1:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",MultiCastActionButton1,"BOTTOMLEFT");
	TotemFrameTotem2:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",MultiCastActionButton2,"BOTTOMLEFT");
	TotemFrameTotem3:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",MultiCastActionButton3,"BOTTOMLEFT");
	TotemFrameTotem4:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",MultiCastActionButton4,"BOTTOMLEFT");
end

local function PTM_PPBInit()
	
	PaladinPowerBar:SetParent(nil);
	PaladinPowerBar:SetParent(UIParent);
	PaladinPowerBar:SetPoint("CENTER");
	if PaladinPowerBar then nUI_Movers:lockFrame( PaladinPowerBar, true, "nUI_XPaladinPowerBar" ); end

end

local function PTM_DEBInit()
	EclipseBarFrame:SetParent(nil);
	EclipseBarFrame:SetParent(UIParent);
	EclipseBarFrame:SetPoint("CENTER");
	if EclipseBarFrame then nUI_Movers:lockFrame( EclipseBarFrame, true, "nUI_XDruidEclipseBar" ); end
end

And below is the link to the addon itself and some screenshots of them working .. well apart from the druid one that is.

YAY! First time I see my shards since 4.0.1 hit

Or do I? It always shows 2 shards for some reason. nUI error, Blizzard error or user error (aka PEBKAC)?

[Xrystal]

Hmm, good point .. maybe the update routines aren't being triggered .. I'm on my pally so will test that one. Then I'll test the warlock one out .. my apologies if it's not working properly *sigh*.


Edit:
Okay, think I realise now why people use a fake player frame to do this rofl. They use a getparent.unit value that gets updated on target change. Will incorporate the new changes and yes, thoroughly test it out on the two classes at least My apologies again for missing out that vital ingredient

Okay, seems to be working .. holy power and soul shards being visually displayed when being filled and used. The same change worked for both so hopefully it will work for the druids.

Seeing the shards in my local wow install made me happy already, having it actually work will give new excitement. When you get it to work, you made me happy twice

Yep, that was the problem tinyu. I didn't realise that they were using self:GetParent().unit to validate the shard/power level which of course would be nil unless set. So, the main addon frame has become a fake player frame with a unit value set to whatever the playerframe's unit is set to on target change. Seems to work now with my initial tests on both warlock and paladin.

my gatherer is no longer working & I was hoping that there was an update in the works soon because It's hurting my toos professions as well as evryone elses as well.
It's a pain to not to have the one tool that I count on most like most of us do to find the materals from mining to herbs ect.
I hope theres a version comming out soon that works with this new patch.
Thank You to who ever comes up with it in advance =)

I think you posted this in the wrong forum

You might want to post on the gatherer addon page or in another forum.

That aside, I personally don't use a gatherer addon and haven't in a long long while but I was sure some of my guildies were with little problem. So perhaps there is something else going wrong or it isn't the correct updated file.
