How to skin Deadly Boss Mods (without rewriting)

[Wildbreath]

if DBM then
      hooksecurefunc(DBT, "CreateBar", function(self)
         for bar in self:GetBarIterator() do            
            local frame = bar.frame
            frame:SetScale(UIParent:GetScale())            
            local tbar = getglobal(frame:GetName().."Bar")
            local texture = getglobal(frame:GetName().."BarTexture")
            local icon1 = getglobal(frame:GetName().."BarIcon1")
            local icon2 = getglobal(frame:GetName().."BarIcon2")
            local name = getglobal(frame:GetName().."BarName")
            local timer = getglobal(frame:GetName().."BarTimer")
            tbar:SetHeight(16)
            texture:SetTexture(settings.texture)
            texture.SetTexture = function() end
            icon1:SetTexCoord(.1,.9,.1,.9)
            icon2:SetTexCoord(.1,.9,.1,.9)
            name:SetPoint("CENTER")
            name:SetPoint("LEFT", 4, 0)
            name:SetFont(settings.font, settings.fsize, "OUTLINE")
            name.SetFont = function() end
            timer:SetPoint("CENTER")
            timer:SetPoint("RIGHT", -4, 0)
            timer:SetFont(settings.font, settings.fsize, "OUTLINE")
            timer.SetFont = function() end
         end
      end)
 
      hooksecurefunc(DBM.BossHealth, "AddBoss", function(cId, name)
         local i = 1
         while (_G[format("DBM_BossHealth_Bar_%d", i)]) do
            local bar = _G[format("DBM_BossHealth_Bar_%d", i)]
            local background = _G[bar:GetName().."BarBorder"]
            local progress = _G[bar:GetName().."Bar"]
            local name = _G[bar:GetName().."BarName"]
            local timer = _G[bar:GetName().."BarTimer"]
            bar:SetScale(UIParent:GetScale())
            bar:SetHeight(16)
            background:SetNormalTexture(nil)
            progress:SetStatusBarTexture(settings.texture)
            progress:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", 2, -2)
            progress:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -2, 2)
            progress:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -2, 2)
            name:SetPoint("CENTER")
            name:SetPoint("LEFT", 4, 0)
            name:SetFont(settings.font, settings.fsize, "OUTLINE")
            timer:SetPoint("CENTER")
            timer:SetPoint("RIGHT", -4, 0)
            timer:SetFont(settings.font, settings.fsize, "OUTLINE")
            i = i + 1
         end
      end)
   end

where settings.font, fsize, texture - own media
enjoy

Is this meant as a seperate addon or somewhere in the DBM code?

And could you post a screenie of what it might look like?

[sacrife]

Now this is interesting

Now do the same for tinydps, cargbags, hBar, nBuffs :P

[Wildbreath]

1. yes, is separate addon (before need to check DBM loaded)
(да это кусок кода отдельного аддона, не модифицирование ДБМ)

2. sacrife, im lazy, i just show how to do it in DBM
(sacrife, я слишком ленив чтобы делать это в куче других аддонов, я лишь показал как это можно сделать на примере ДБМ)

(soz for my stupid english )

[Haleth]

Ah yeah, I got it now. Good job, this is a really easy way to restyle DBM.

I highly suggest replacing the (deprecated) getglobal() calls with _G table lookups.

getglobal is just this anyway:

function getglobal(frame)
   return _G[frame]
end
