Possible? Minimap / Recount Side by side?

I know there is an omen/recount side by side addon...

Is it feasible to have mini map and recount side by side?

I know map issues just got fixed but I'm just curious... Those are the 2 main things I use in the lower right window.

Not a big deal. Just curious and a non critical request/suggestion.

It's possible as there is quite a bit of space left on the info panel, I've been pondering the idea of minimap/Omen/Recount.

This would move the minimap if you set someone to focus, to the Omen/Recount panel. then Omen and recount would toggle between each other based on combat.

When I start this Tuesday morning (hopfully) I'll add something to handle options like

A.) Disable focus event function so the minimap is always to the right
B.) Disable toggling of Omen and Recount and choose which one to always have.
C.) Option to have Omen and Recount side by side or have them based on
entering combat if the minimap isn't on the panel else it will revert to option B

Skada As a viable replacement?

In case you havent checked it out...Skada is a damage/ threat meter that is very lightweight resource wise and gives u the ability to have one pane set to dps all the time then u can set it to switch to threat when entering combat

I have been using it for about a month now and it is accurate with 50dps +- of recount and is spot on for threat with omen and like i said very lightweight resource wise...this would save A. memory and B space on the info panel and might make it easier to do what has been suggested here.

as the RL for my guild I like the aspect of dps out of combat and threat in

just my 2 cents adjusted for inflation to around .00003 :-)

FYI -- there is an Info Panel Plugin for nUI in the download section that auto-switches Recount and Omen3 based on whether you are in or out of combat, as well.

Possible?

I am aware of the infopanel plugins both dual stats and stats but recount records whether is shows or not unless u disable it....I was just in AV and was using 92 megs of memory a good portion of which was nUI and recount....I understand that the ui is gonna use a lot since it basically is akin to the 70+ mods or so i used to use in my old built out of standalone mods ui but recount averages anywhere from 9megs to 11 megs of usage...by itself! Skada typically uses around 1 -2 megs under full raid conditions...keeping track of threat and dps and whatever else u want it to

and as i understand the point of the thread was if possible creating a minimap/recount infopanel......so i thought i would suggest using a different solution to the omen/recount infopanel......IMO using skada would lighten the load AND give you the option to have the above asked about minimap/dameage/threat meter in one infopanel as well as eliminating the need to have the infopanel plugin for dualstats unless peeps wanna use recount. To each his own i guess


I have been poking around in the code for the combatlog infopanel as well as the omen and recount infopanel lua...I may attempt (badly and that should scare the hell out people) to create my own plugin using the info that has been posted on these forums. of course i will not release anything for nUI without the authors express consent. Maybe i can actually get it to work...seems pretty straight forward


once again just my 2 cents adjusted for inflation to .0000003 cents

~lmao~

First of all... I have no issue with using Skada at all, I just wasn't sure if you were aware of the other plugin. And if you need any help with the plugin, feel free to yell and I'll do my best to lend a hand.
