I'm having some problems with 2d portraits. Mainly because I bad at lua.

I tried using 3d portraits but it annoyed me because of the player animation turning the head away all the time.
If someone knows a code to stop the animation but still keep it 3d, let me know

Otherwise my portraits are 50 in height and 30 in width, and because of that its completely dragged when I used this code to make it square (from pitbull)

portrait:SetTexCoord(0.14644660941, 0.85355339059, 0.14644660941, 0.85355339059)

As you see in my image, the first portrait is it being drawn as 50x50 with those numbers.
The 2nd portrait is 50x30 with the same numbers.
And the third image is 50x30 with the numbers altered to: 0.04644660941, 0.95355339059, 0.04644660941, 0.95355339059.
Problem here is its not squared, although it looks a lot better than the first 2.

So how do I get it square, but still drawn correctly?
And if possible, how do I make the black in the background transparent (like it is if the portrait is 3d)

Update: I tried portrait:SetTexCoord(.2,.8,.2,.8) as numbers from Adapt. Seemed somewhat better. But somewhat zoomed.

This is my whole castbar-code and it works perfectly:

Code:

self.Castbar = CreateFrame("StatusBar")
self.Castbar:SetBackdrop({bgFile="Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background", insets ={left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1}})
self.Castbar:SetBackdropColor(nivDB.colorBD.r, nivDB.colorBD.g, nivDB.colorBD.b, nivDB.colorBD.a)
self.Castbar:SetWidth(nivcfgDB.castbarWidth)
if (unit=="player") then
	self.Castbar:SetHeight(20)
	self.Castbar:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", nivcfgDB.castbarX, nivcfgDB.castbarY)
else
	self.Castbar:SetHeight(10)
	self.Castbar:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", nivcfgDB.castbarX, nivcfgDB.castbarY - 17)
end
self.Castbar:SetStatusBarTexture(nivDB.texStrHealth)
self.Castbar:SetStatusBarColor(nivcfgDB.colorHealth.r, nivcfgDB.colorHealth.g, nivcfgDB.colorHealth.b, nivvcfgDB.colorHealth.a)	
self.Castbar:SetParent(self)
self.Castbar:SetMinMaxValues(1, 100)
self.Castbar:SetValue(1)
self.Castbar:Hide()  
self.Castbar.bg = self.Castbar:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
self.Castbar.bg:SetAllPoints(self.Castbar)
self.Castbar.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_Nivaya\\textures\\Minimalist")
self.Castbar.bg:SetAlpha(0.05)	
self.Castbar.Time = self.Castbar:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
self.Castbar.Time:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.Castbar, -2, 0)
self.Castbar.Time:SetFont(nivDB.fontStrValues, nivcfgDB.fontHeightV)
self.Castbar.Time:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
self.Castbar.Time:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
self.Castbar.Text = self.Castbar:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
self.Castbar.Text:SetPoint("LEFT", self.Castbar, 2, 0)
self.Castbar.Text:SetWidth(240)
self.Castbar.Text:SetFont(nivDB.fontStrNames, nivcfgDB.fontHeightN)
self.Castbar.Text:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
self.Castbar.Text:SetJustifyH("LEFT")
		
if (unit=="player") then
	self.Castbar.Time:SetTextHeight(nivcfgDB.fontHeightV+2)
	self.Castbar.Text:SetTextHeight(nivcfgDB.fontHeightN+2)			
else
	self.Castbar.Time:SetTextHeight(nivcfgDB.fontHeightV)
	self.Castbar.Text:SetTextHeight(nivcfgDB.fontHeightN)			
end

self.Castbar.SafeZone = self.Castbar:CreateTexture(nil,"BORDER")
self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetTexture(nivDB.texStrHealth)
self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetVertexColor(1,1,1,0.7)
self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT")
self.Castbar.SafeZone:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")

i am creating the safezone after the bg and it doesnt work.

Code:

		local cb = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
		cb:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -21)
		cb:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -21)
		cb:SetStatusBarTexture(texture2)
		cb:SetStatusBarColor(0.2705882352941176, 0.407843137254902, 0.5450980392156862)
		cb:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
		cb:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)
		cb:SetHeight(15)
		cb:SetWidth(300)
		cb:SetMinMaxValues(1, 100)
	    cb:SetValue(1)
	    cb:Hide()
		self.Castbar = cb	
		
		local cbbg = cb:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
		cbbg:SetAllPoints(cb)
		cbbg:SetTexture(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)
		cb.bg = cbbg		

		local cbtime = SetFontString(cb, fontn, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
		cbtime:SetPoint("RIGHT", cb, -3, 1)
		cbtime:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
		cb.CustomTimeText = OverrideCastbarTime
		cb.Time = cbtime

		local cbtext = SetFontString(cb, fontn, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
		cbtext:SetPoint("LEFT", cb, 3, 1)
		cbtext:SetPoint("RIGHT", cbtime, "LEFT")
		cb.Text = cbtext
		
		if(cbarsafe == true and unit == "player") then
			local cbsafe = cb:CreateTexture(nil,"ARTWORK")
			cbsafe:SetTexture(texture2)
			cbsafe:SetVertexColor(.69,.31,.31)
			cbsafe:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT")
			cbsafe:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
			cb.SafeZone = cbsafe
		end

Try this:

Code:

		local cb = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
		cb:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, -21)
		cb:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -21)
		cb:SetStatusBarTexture(texture2, "OVERLAY")
		cb:SetStatusBarColor(0.2705882352941176, 0.407843137254902, 0.5450980392156862)
		cb:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
		cb:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)
		cb:SetHeight(15)
		cb:SetWidth(300)
		cb:SetMinMaxValues(1, 100)
	    cb:SetValue(1)
	    cb:Hide()
		self.Castbar = cb	
		
		local cbbg = cb:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
		cbbg:SetAllPoints(cb)
		cbbg:SetTexture(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)
		cb.bg = cbbg		

		local cbtime = SetFontString(cb, fontn, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
		cbtime:SetPoint("RIGHT", cb, -3, 1)
		cbtime:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
		cb.CustomTimeText = OverrideCastbarTime
		cb.Time = cbtime

		local cbtext = SetFontString(cb, fontn, 14, "THINOUTLINE")
		cbtext:SetPoint("LEFT", cb, 3, 1)
		cbtext:SetPoint("RIGHT", cbtime, "LEFT")
		cb.Text = cbtext
		
		if(cbarsafe == true and unit == "player") then
			local cbsafe = cb:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
			cbsafe:SetTexture(texture2)
			cbsafe:SetVertexColor(.69,.31,.31)
			cbsafe:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT")
			cbsafe:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT")
			cb.SafeZone = cbsafe
		end

So since "ARTWORK" is above "BACKGROUND" and "OVERLAY" is above "ARTWORK", this should work. However, I don't understand why setting both bg and safezone as "BORDER" works for me but not for you.

How would I define the castbar spellname to be lowercase?

Vranx · 03-26-09, 01:13 PM

Im trying to get a target frame to only show buffs/debuffs I can cast. I put in
auras.filter = "PLAYER" but now it doesnt show anything. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong? Here is what I have:

Code:

if(unit=="target") then     
        local auras = CreateFrame("Frame", nill, self)
        auras.filter = "PLAYER"
        auras:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "BOTTOMLEFT", -2, -3)
        auras.initialAnchor = "TOPLEFT"
        auras["growth-x"] = "RIGHT"
        auras["growth-y"] = "DOWN"
        auras.numDebuffs = 8   
        auras:SetHeight(373)
        auras:SetWidth(248)
        auras.spacing = 1
        auras.size = 30
        auras.gap = true        
	self.Auras = auras
    end

haste · 03-26-09, 01:21 PM

auras.onlyShowPlayer = true is probably what you want. You should also not that you should use .buffFilter and .debuffFilter on .Auras. You also need to append HARMFUL/HELPFUL on those filters.

To demonstrate this for yourself ingame without reloading the UI :

/run print(("UPPERCASE SENTENCE"):lower())

/run print(UnitName('player'):lower())

You then need to provide the override update function within your layout and make use of that idea on the spellname variable passed to that override.

looking within the ouf/elements/castbar.lua file should provide you with some clues.

i have a problem..

i got some code from ouf_freeb for his indicators on raid frames and such..

here is the code

Code:

local function applyAuraIndicator(self)

		self.AuraStatusBR = self.Health:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
		self.AuraStatusBR:ClearAllPoints()
		self.AuraStatusBR:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 5)
		self.AuraStatusBR:SetFont(font, 25, "OUTLINE")
		self:Tag(self.AuraStatusBR, oUF.classIndicators[playerClass]["BR"])	
        
end

i want to know how i can put in "isMine" in this

demitri · 03-27-09, 02:27 PM

i cant seeem to get my ouf layout to load when i use my Death Knight

end

the variable/return value 'isMine' is used further up where the tags themselves are defined.

'isMine' is a return value from the UnitAura function.

The code block you have paste here is merely a placement function which makes use of a table to arrange tagstrings for a paticular placement.

demitri · 03-28-09, 02:51 AM

Code:

oUF.Tags["[beacon]"] = function(u) return UnitAura(u, "Beacon of Light") and "|cffFF5500.|r" or "" end

oUF.Tags["[shield]"] = function(u) return UnitAura(u, "Sacred Shield") and "|cffFFCF7F.|r" or "" end

oUF.TagEvents["[beacon]"] = "UNIT_AURA"
oUF.TagEvents["[shield]"] = "UNIT_AURA"

is the tags..

oUF.TagEvents["[beacon]"] = "UNIT_AURA"
oUF.TagEvents["[shield]"] = "UNIT_AURA"

is the tags..

So considering that the information provided at :
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_UnitAura

It tells use that there nine return values from this function.

Code:

name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, isMine, isStealable = UnitAura("unit", index or ["name", "rank"][, "filter"])

what you do here is modify your function to show :

Code:

oUF.Tags["[beacon]"] = function(u)
 local name, _,_,_,_,_,_, isMine,_ = UnitAura("unit")
 if not isMine then return end -- if its not ours then exit function
 return (name == "Beacon of Light") and "|cffFF5500.|r" or ""
end

ty ty... that seems to have worked.. now i have a new problem...

i cant get ouf runebar to spawn... it keeps the default one...

Code:

if(class == 'DEATHKNIGHT') then
			self.RuneBar = {}
			for i = 1, 6 do
				self.RuneBar[i] = CreateFrame('StatusBar', nil, self)
				if(i == 1) then
					self.RuneBar[i]:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self, 'BOTTOMLEFT', 0, -40)
				else
					self.RuneBar[i]:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', self.RuneBar[i-1], 'TOPRIGHT', 1, 0)
				end
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetStatusBarTexture(bartex)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetStatusBarColor(unpack(runeloadcolors[i]))
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetHeight(4)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetWidth(230/6 - 0.85)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetMinMaxValues(0, 1)
				self.RuneBar[i]:SetID(i)

				self.RuneBar[i].bg = self.RuneBar[i]:CreateTexture(nil, 'BORDER')
				self.RuneBar[i].bg:SetAllPoints(self.RuneBar[i])
				self.RuneBar[i].bg:SetTexture(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)			
			end

			RuneFrame:Hide()

			self:RegisterEvent('RUNE_TYPE_UPDATE', UpdateRuneType)
			self:RegisterEvent('RUNE_REGEN_UPDATE', UpdateRuneType)
			self:RegisterEvent('RUNE_POWER_UPDATE', UpdateRunePower)

Is 'class' defined?
Do you have the toc metadata?

what yes i have the toc metadata (well i THINK i do)... not sure abut the class being defined tho :S

replace the 'class' with 'select(2, UnitClass('player'))'

woohoo.. ur the man..thanks so much!

haste · 03-28-09, 10:12 AM

I'm not going to lock this topic, but I would like it if people posted new threads instead now. The two oUF threads are currently very large, and it's quite hard to see what posts have been left unanswered.

Another gain would be that it's easier to find the information in smaller threads, and the discussions won't be absorbed by the more common problems people have. We have an entire forum dedicated to oUF now, so continuing to use these "monster" threads seem illogical

.

nin · 03-29-09, 04:12 PM

this is such a small and probably a little stupid question so i won't start another thread for it

Im having an error msg i quite don't understand why im getting.. it doesn't seem to do anything to my layout more than annoy me..

part of error msg is :

"Attempt to index global 'color' a nil value"

This is the part of the lua that it complains about..

if unit=="target" then
self.Name:SetTextColor(1,1,1)

else
local _, class = UnitClass(unit)
color = self.colors.class[class]
self.Name:SetTextColor(color[1], color[2], color[3])

Any pointers and hints on what it is that can cause this would be much appreciated

Slakah · 03-29-09, 07:17 PM

Nin, there is no entry in "self.colors.class" for some class, you can probably set up an __index metamethod for "self.colors.class", I think thats what p3lim and other people do so check out their code.
