Shadowed Unit Frames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v4.4.11
by: Shadowed, Nevcairiel

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Slash commands: /shadoweduf (/suf)

Donations
Donations are not required, but are appreciated!



Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Profiles do not have to be swapped and it is all automatic.

Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:

Player: Player, Pet, Pet Target
General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target
Party: Party, Party Pets, Party Targets, Party ToT
Raid: Raid, Raid Pet, Main Tank, Main Tank Target, Main Assist, Main Assist Target, Boss, Boss Target, Boss ToT, Main Assist ToT, Main Tank ToT
Arena: Arena, Arena Target, Arena Pets, Arena ToT
Battleground: Battleground, Battleground Target, Battleground Target

Features

  • Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
  • Incoming Heals: Supports the Blizzard Events for incoming heal data, no external libraries needed
  • Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
  • Aura Timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
  • Aura Indicators: Display colored squares or icons for certain auras on any unit
  • Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
  • Class Power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.
  • Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them
  • Range Checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
  • Exportable Layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
  • Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

omeglidan: /suf -> Units -> Party -> Party -> Row offset, change that to change spacing. Not sure what you mean by "each element of a given frame", yes it works with Clique if that's what you are asking.

anselmi: Does this only happen with SUF, or do the default/other unit frames have this issue? Pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work since SUF "captures" the mouse clicks like it's supposed to because it registers for all mouse buttons.

Party frames

The reason I wanted to independently adjust each party member frame to stack them vertically without any space between them. I move the buffs to the side and then there's a great deal of space between each party member.
Is there at least any way to remove this space?

Another question I have is related to Clique. Coming from Perl it was able to recognize each element of a given frame. Is there any way to do this with SUF?

Uhm.. yeah, I have added a key binding to BottomLeft Action Button 6 (that's slot 6 in the Action bar that you can enable from wow's own options->action bars->bottom left) to my mouse button 4, so when I press the mouse button I get that little yellow frame around the slot showing that it was used/pressed.

And when I hover over any SUF frame, player, party etc. And then press the mouse button, it doesn't do anything. The bar slot doesn't even indicate that it is/has been pressed.

And it ofcourse works again when I move the cursor off from the frame

When you say they stop working you mean what exactly? You are binding Button3/Button4/Button5 to actions on your action bar and when you mouse over the frame they stop using those actions?

Ok, I disabled all addons except Shadowed Unit Frames. But it didn't help.

And just to make things more clear (so that there's no misunderstandings), when I put the mouse cursor above the players bars (hp/mana) in the Raid frame, the extra buttons stops working (i.e. middle button, and the two side buttons. Those are B3, B4 and B5 for me).

I have to try clearing some caches and WTF folder if that helps.
But I'm busy atm, so that has to wait. I'll contact back if I have any progress


Edit: I just noticed, that it doesn't matter what frame the mouse cursor is on, it does that same thing in all of them, i.e. player, party, target etc.

Basically just went through every post I can see in the last 3 pages, if I missed yours then post again please.


omeglidan: You can't, they are linked to each other. If you want to change how they grow then go to /suf -> Units -> Party -> Party -> Frame Growth.

anselmi: Can you disable all addons except SUF and try again? There's no reason that mouse bindings should stop working for SUF especially since it works fine for me.

Ferari: There already is a Russian localization, it should automatically switch to it.

Chtol: Try updating again, if you still get issues go to Game Menu -> Interface -> Help and check "Enable Lua errors" then try again and give me an error if it pops up.

shurshik & Smoker: Try selecting another font in /suf -> General -> Font, something besides "Myriad Condensed Web"

Dorom: You sure that's a SUF issue?

noicturn4l: Yes, see highlight in /suf -> Units -> <unit> -> General. Use the height option in /suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Widget size -> Power bar

relwinwar: There is no way to increase the combat text size right now.

Shahaf: See OmniCC for showing actual time left on auras.

kmwilliams52: You could do it with the ShadowedUF_Grid module, see the description for a link.

terranox: Go to /suf -> Units -> Target -> Widget Size, look for "Show as bar" to turn the combo points into a bar rather then dots. Yes it's normal you can't see the frames, a config mode-ish option is coming, but it's not a high priority.

I'm not sure what frame level options would really do? You won't be able to outline specific texts because I want the tag system to be simple and not turn into something complex.


Klime: No, there is no border highlighting yet, it's on the list of things to do but it's not in yet. You can display class icon as a portraits and change the portrait sizing through Widget Size, but there is no direct class indicator.

There already is something that says Dead/Offline/Ghost in the health bar when someone is dead, are you not using a tag for HP?

ccckkk: Not exactly a bug, it's how Blizzard does sizing of the raid frames. Looking for a solution still but don't have a good one yet.

Braeg: Color by reaction will no longer override class coloring for players.

towelliee: It's not a very good system right now, your best bet would be to set the anchor point manually. /suf -> Units -> Raid -> Frames. Set it to anchor to Screen then set Anchor Point to "Top Left", use the X/Y input box to find the right position.

Maxtastic: Raid and party frames are called SUFHeaderraid/SUFHeaderparty, all other frames are called SUFUnitplayer/SUFUnittarget/SUFUnittargettarget/etc

m3zus: No you can't.

cloudwolf: I'll see about it, I'm not sure how easy it would be thought.

IMHO you don't, because the raid frame is just one frame.
But you can change the max columns and units per that column, so it resembles more a 5man version of normal raid windows. And from the same page you can change the grouping.
It's located in Units > Raid > Raid tab.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

Edit: You could also check the ShadowedUF Grid.

P.S. Maybe you can download additional addon like "Grid" for ShadowUnitFrame (didn't try myself)
Yeah well, I don't really like healbot at all, so that's not an option

But I'll try Grid addon if there's nothing that can be done...is this something that blizzard has tried to prevent or what is so special with mouse bindings?

So I'll post my problem here.

Don't know if it's a bug or a necessary feature, but I use my mouse buttons a lot and when I hover over the raid frames on a player, the mouse bindings stops working.
Other keyboard bindings work, but the mouse just doesn't.
That really troubles me as I'm a healer and tend to use my mouse button to use Holy Shock while I select a player from the raid list. And moving the cursor out of the raid frame is not an option really.

Is there a way to easily fix this? I went through the advanced options many times and didn't really find any easy solution.

I've disabled all other addons that could interfere with this (Bartender4 etc.).

I have tried to install older versions of the mod, still get the same problem. Have uninstalled all addons, still get the same problem.

If i target someone then it's just the frame with the text [Name]. It refuses to show whom i am targeting. What am I doing wrong?

I noticed the import feature of the addon. Where can i find someones import so i can just copy their settings?
I know im not shadowed but I doubt this was an error with his addon and more of an error with the downloader. Try redownloading the addon manually.
