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.

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.

having the exact same problem with the party/raid frames not lining up. sometimes the positioning is waaay off, but that seems to vary depending on things like the frames being moved. the constant issue i face is that the frames do not line up in their correct position. for example, i have a 5x5 raid frame setup, sorted in vertical groups, from left to right. so when i form a raid, i should see myself in the top left position, with my group lined up beneath me, with the other raid groups expanding to the right. but that never happens, i always end up in a sort of "middle" position, and the next person is always directly below me, regardless of which group they are actually in.

here's a diagram to clarify. this is how my layout should work

1 6 11 16 21
2 7 12 17 22
3 8 13 18 23
4 9 14 19 24
5 10 15 20 25

but the order raid members are actually displayed is like this

x x 10 5 x
x x 8 3 x
x x 6 1 x
x x 7 2 x
x x 9 4 x

and so on... (i can't remember the positioning of people after number 10). bear in mind that the GROUP numbers are being totally ignored, so if i form a raid and put the 2nd person in group 2, they will still display in position number 2 going by the second diagram. if i move them to group 3, they do not move on my raidframes.

i've messed around with the settings as much as i think is possible, but no luck.

Keep in mind, they will not match up 100%. However, if you give me a screenshot with the frames unlocked I'll give you a quick fix to get it closer to what you want.

Still having issues where party members and raid members do not line up with the config balck frames. FOr example I will put my party in a location but if only a few members join they get squished and do not match where party 1 should be. Same with raid.

Way to fix this? Thanks!

Next push you will be able to anchor an aura group onto another like what you can do in the default UI, it will not do the smart switching where it will show buffs -> debuffs for enemies and debuffs -> buffs for friendly players, but you will be able to put them into the same area without them being merged.

/suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Auras, "Anchor to <buffs/debuffs>" setting it to "Anchor to debuffs" will show buffs below debuffs, if no debuffs are present then buffs will use the position that debuffs had.

You cannot use separate growth options with this, if you anchor buffs to debuffs then buffs will automatically use the same growth direction as debuffs, however you can set a different per row/max columns/size/etc.

Mage is because you don't have Frostfire Bolt yet, next push it will use Fireball instead of Frostfire for range detection.

Range indicator

The range indicator seems to not be working some times. Here is an SS:



I say sometimes because it seems to work on my priest and warrior but not on my mage.

Ah oops, it's just [levelcolor][shortclassification][close] the [shortclassification] will give you the R/R+/+/B tags for mob type. Keep in mind that if you cannot attack an unit then the color of the level is white but otherwise it will color it according to the same coloring you see in the quest log/default UI, so if you tested the coloring on yourself or another friendly unit that would be why you saw white.

Thanks.

Also, can't get the texts working with the color options.

[levelcolor][smartlevel][close] just gives 8080 in white.

I'm still jacking around with the different text tags to get them the way that I want, but so far everything is running smoother than PB4, just gotta figure out the tags a bit more.

/suf -> Advanced, then go back to /suf -> Units -> <unit> -> Indicators and /suf -> Units -> unit -> Text to increase the size. Keep in mind that you can only decrease/increase the size of the text not just a single tag if you need to change the size of a single tag you would have to add a new one in /suf -> Text management.

I cant see how to do this It would be great if both the player level and the PVP indicator were more like they are in the blizzard frames. Perhaps and small plate for each on the left hand side?

So basically..
1. Can the pvp indicator be made larger via the settings?
2. Do you think you could add a small player level plate to frames so that its easy to see a players level at a glance? If it was just in a more obvious place in player and target frames that can be seen in a glance it would be great

Other than this these are the best ones ive tried to date Good job I say!

For colored level use [levelcolor] so for example: [levelcolor][smartlevel][close] will get what you want.
Alrighty, just noticed some of the color stuff with [close]

But I also noticed that if I'm in a fight against say an alliance player in a battleground, the target frame highlights with debuffs, any way to do that with only friendly targets?

Also, anyone else have a problem with the health bar not filling up when you pick a new target? It says they have full HP, 100% and all but the bar is only partially filled in until i retarget

Actually there are several things with the texts I haven't been able to get to work/setup the way I want. I might just be overlooking something though.

Trying to get something like this
http://www.guildshotsfired.com/releases/text1.jpg

Basically 2 empty lines (currently can only get 1 in SUF).
Color code on the level (which isn't currently working on anything I've tried to get it to show up on).

First line shows Color'd level, Boss/Elite/etc indicator, unit name and DruidForm
Second line shows things like Guild, etc (which I also haven't found in SUF).
