Shadowed Unit Frames

Version: v4.4.8

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.

Currently released:

Smoothbars for unit frames
Trinket based tags
Damn Unit Sounds, not technically a SUF module it will restore the Blizzard sounds on targeting, focusing or toggling the PVP flag

Height/Width: Party: 29/226, scaled at 110% (continues to not cooperate at any scale). Raid: 29/110, scaled at 100%.

Clip setting: 2

You cannot outline specific text, however if you enable advanced settings theres an option to turn on text outlining for everything (It's under the same option you change font size/font on globally)

I think that might be more of an issue related to Raid and Party frames, however I will look into it and see if I can get it fixed next push.

Try:

Code:

function(unit, unitOwner)
if( UnitIsDead(unit) ) then
    return ShadowUFLocals["Dead"]
elseif( UnitIsGhost(unit) ) then
    return ShadowUFLocals["Ghost"]
elseif( not UnitIsConnected(unit) ) then
    return ShadowUFLocals["Offline"]
end

local health = UnitHealth(unit)
if( health > 999999 ) then
    health = string.format("%dm", health / 1000000)
elseif( health > 99999 ) then
    health = string.format("%.1fk", health / 1000)
end

local maxHealth = UnitHealthMax(unit)
if( maxHealth > 999999 ) then
    maxHealth = string.format("%dm", maxHealth / 1000000)
elseif( maxHealth > 99999 ) then
    maxHealth = string.format("%.1fk", maxHealth / 1000)
end

return string.format("%s/%s", health, maxHealth)
end

I noticed that with this tag, targets with lets say 900k showed up as having 9k instead. Also lots of random errors:

Edit because it's not worth a new post: Yeah, I have everything outlined now, my plan was to have raid frames not have outlines, and player/target have them.

I won't add an option to disable placing items off screen as it's a bug that you can't already. timberbear60 / Zabbath: It's something I plan on adding but need to tweak the layout code a bit before I do. Don't want to add a lag indicator thought at that point you should probably be using something like Quartz that's specifically built for that.

I'm wanting to position them 3 pixels from the left side of the screen, but can't drag them any closer than 15 or so. edit: And an Outline tag? I've been reading through the tag examples and the api documentation on wowwiki and I can't figure out how to make a tag for it (or if I have to make a ShadowUF:Outline type function or something?). I know that you can set all fonts to be outlined or not, but I can't figure out how to outline certain texts and not others. Everything else is wonderful - so glad I found this. edit2: holy crap, you're FAST. Last edited by thamaht : 07-05-09 at 02:15 PM.

Keep up the excellent work!

Vote +1, Pitbull 4 have it but would really like this addon to have it to

Hi,

I love the easy configuration for this UF addon! Being able to modify the attributes of multiple frames at once is a real timesaver, and the anchoring/positioning system is awesome!

Thanks for the party ordering feature. I noticed a little bug though. The menus you get when you right click on a party unit frame aren't in the proper order when you have party ordering set by Name.

Occasionally I'll still have issues with health bar coloring by class not working properly. Sometimes colors will get switched between party members. It doesn't happen consistently but when it does, it's usually when new members join or leave. Going into the config and resetting Color by Class fixes it.

Did you have the class coloring issues before you enabled sorting or no?

Thanks for the quick reply, sure enough changing the width from 210 to 211 fixed it.
