Smaller Blizzard Raid Frames

Version: v1.2.2

by: Morsker [More]

I'll still MAINTAIN this, but addition of new features will be sporadic, as I'm doing more work on other things now. Please let me know if you'd like to contribute improvements!

Makes the Blizzard raid frames half their normal size, while scaling up names, buffs, and icons to keep them readable.

- /sbrf for options.

- Can fill hp vertically, in addition to horizontally.

- Optionally center names.

- Optionally move or hide buffs, debuffs, and dispellable debuffs.

- Options for frame height and width are still in Blizzard's Interface Options / Raid Frames.

- The mod is pretty tiny. Most of what you see in the file size is the config UI which only loads when requested.

Credits

The inspiration for this came from a forum post by Shamanbrian, with macros to manipulate the Blizzard size sliders to lower values. Also Dridzt was working on something similar, and explained taint issues to me. Unfortunately all of these implementations cause taint. The current implementation is different and in some ways limited, but doesn't cause taint.

v1.2.2
- Bug fix.

v1.2.1
- Updated for patch 4.1.
- When used as party frames, the raid frames no longer have a separate, slightly larger size. This is due to 4.1 changes. Please comment if you missed that feature and want it back.

v1.2
- /sbrf for new config UI
- heal prediction bars should work better
- some bug fixes with MA target and MT target frames

v1.1.2
- option for vertical hp bars
- option to un-center names
- party frames are also scaled down, but not quite as much as raid frames
- you can use the Blizzard resize sliders again
- the Blizzard unlock and drag thing should work better

v1.1.1
- Better resizing of debuffs, and moved to top-left

v1.1
- New implementation, no taint

v1.0
- First version

For some reason, positions saved with/without the mod don't work well the other way. @hell.stream I could make an option to override the default alpha for out-of-range. (The default is 0.55.) But some ways of doing this would be very inefficient. I have to think about it more to make sure it works well. Also, many people want a way to fill frames right-to-left. This is probably impossible with the normal "flow" layout. It may be possible with the by-groups layout. I'll try working with it in this week's raids and see if I can come up with something.

If I disable the addon I can see them, but I enable it and I can't (even though the bumper is visible on left) and everything is set to be shown :/ Am I just stupid? __________________ shPerformance: Data Broker memory/latency/fps usage display utility shNameplates: Lightweight, simple, and sexy nameplates shClock: Lightweight and simple data broker clock

- groups added right to left not left to right
- out of range alpha lowered, can't tell properly who's in range

THIS is the only reason i cant adapt to using blizzard raid frames. An option to change alpha on out of range targets really is needed. I would be awesome if you could think about adding it.

And the config UI has moving / hiding buffs. Now that I got the config thing out of the way it should be much easier to make changes.

Yeah, Overhealing and such bars are misplaces completely.

katlarin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	hey dude nice work. but could you increase the font size of the buff and debuff charges. for example the charges of my earth shield are incredibly small. it's stressful to read.

Sorry, I totally missed you ask this the first time. I'll have to see if there's an easy way to add raid icons. (There probably is, but I've never looked into it.) I need to finish to options for moving buffs first though.

My own buffs (my hots on the group fpr example) doesn't show anymore an the raidframe - how to change this?

I've never had this happen. Has it always happened since you first installed the mod, or did it just start recently?

fraenhawk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	Well actually, I have borders turned off too, but I do have the agro borders turned on (I'm a tank) so maybe it's related to those? Or maybe it's related to unlocking, reshaping, and relocking the raid frame? On that subject. If I click the slideout raid control panel, click unlock, resize the grid, then click lock, when I then slide the raid control panel back in, the raid window is locked where it was (about 2 inches from the left edge). Without the addon installed when I slide the panel in the raid grid slides back to the left with the panel.
