X-Perl UnitFrames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.6.35
by: MysticalOS, Zeksie

A much enchanced version of Nymbia's Perl UnitFrames, and a complete replacement for Blizzard's default unit frames, including raid frames and raid tools, with many additions and improvements over the original Nymbia code.

Range Finder (combined with optional health check) for all frames based on spell or item range test.

HoT Monitor will highlight units clearly that have your own active Heal over Time spells.

Debuff Highlights in standard debuff colours on all friendly frames. Priority given to show debuffs that YOU can cure first.

Raid Frames, buff icons, MT list units and some other portions or X-Perl are Created on demand. Saving a lot of time and memory at system startup. Defering the creation of many parts of X-Perl to when they are actually required. And of course, most often outside of raids they are never required and are never created.

Raid Target icon support for Target, Target's Target, MT Targets.

Raid tooltip will show combat rezzers available (druids with Rebirth ready (or very soon available) and any normal rezzers out of combat) if you bring up tooltip of a dead person.

'In-combat' indicators for Pet, Target, Target's Target, Party, Party pets, Raid, MT Targets.

3D Portraits for player, pet, target, focus, party. Optional. Of course this may degrade your framerate somewhat because you are displaying more 3D character models that without this option. But some like it pretty, and it does look cool.

Red and Green combat flashes for frames when player, pet, target, party, partypets, raid take damage/heals. Useful indication of things happening.

Added time left on party member/target buffs/debuffs when in a raid, these depend somewhat on CTRA/oRA/oRA2 sending appropriate information over the addon channel, although some of it can be determined at run time by X-Perl, when a player gets a buff for example, we know how long it should last, and therefor when it should expire.

Totally new options window including all X-Perl options and access via minimap icon.

Configurable colours for borders and backgrounds. Including class coloured names, and configurable reaction colours.

Much care has been taken with code size, memory load, memory usage per cycle and so on. LuaProfiler/OnEvent mods used extensively and regularly to ensure that X-Perl does not do more work than is absolutely necessary.

With that in mind, the event system was totally re-written, and is as kind to system performance as possible. The majority of events are disabled while zoning to alleviate any event backlog issues. And where most addons use 1 event handler per unit frame, which although standard, the alternative has improved X-Perl's performance. By using single main event handlers, we can route the events to appropriate units. So, for example, when a single UNIT_HEALTH update is fired, then just a single raid frame or party frame etc. gets the event, rather than 40 raid frame's handlers, 4 party and so on. Nymbia's Perl used to do a lot of crazy full frame udpates all over the place, eating away at CPU cycles. This was all fixed to only update what was necessary based on events.

Liberal usage of local functions to cut down compiled code size, and increase speed since functions are called directly rather than by name. Every time you have a global function, you have a global string name associated with it, so size in the global environment saved where possible.

XPerl_RaidHelper sub-addon
Assists View
Will show anyone from raid assising you with your target, and can also show healers or all plus known enemies targetting you.
Tooltips for the same also available (on player and target frames) if you prefer to not use the main window.

MT Targets
Replaces CTRA/oRA2 MT Targets window, and doubles as a replacement for the Perl RaidFrames warrior targets.
Indicator shows which target you are on.
Frames will be coloured to show if tanks have duplicate targets.

XPerl_RaidMonitor sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Casting Monitor
Shows selected classes (defaults to healer classes) in a list (much like the MT List), but with some differences.
Shows mana bars and cast bars on left. Their targets on right. Health bar as normal, but a secondary small red bar on targets which shows the maximum single hit this unit has received since entering combat. The secondary bar will extend downwards from their current HP level down to as far as zero.
A green name on the targets indicates this is the same target that you have.
You can click on casters or their targets as expected.
For druids, right clicking on a caster will cast Innervate on them.
For shamans, right clicking on a caster will cast Mana Tide Totem. Check the * indicator to see if they're in your group.

All bars can be re-sized in X-Perl main options (Monitor section).

Totals can be toggled (from the 'T' minibutton at top of frame) which gives overview of raid mana status.

XPerl_RaidAdmin sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Raid Admin
Save/Load raid roster setups
Only does direct save and load for the moment, but more to come (templates and such).

Item Check
Replacement for /raitem /radur /raresist /rareg. Use the old commands before, or drop items in the left item list.
Query button will perform /raitem on all ticked items (query always includes dur and resists) and you can then view and review all the results whenever, without having to re-query each item.
Includes everyone in raid, so you don't have to work out who doesn't have items, it'll list them with 0 instead of no entry.
Active Scanner to check raid member's equipment for the item selected. So you can be sure that people actually have the item worn (Onyxia Cloak for example), without having to go round single target inspecting everyone who 'forgot' to install CTRA for the 50th raid in a row.

Supported Addons
CT_RaidAssist, oRA2. Shows tooltip info and player status, replaces MT Targets List, improves raid frames, shows player status, resurrection monitor, buff timers aware.
MobInfo-2 / MobHealth3 - Shows target health from MobHealth database.
DruidBar - Shows druid mana bar from DruidBar when shapeshifted.
Clique compatible. And any other click cast addon that uses the same communication method. (see below)

Changes:
*Updated for 5.x
*Should use signifcently less cpu then it did before
Optional Files (0)

I screwed up.

I used the "all" tab to turn off my player display and the focus display because I had those from my Roth UI and couldn't turn those off. Now my "all" tab is missing along with some others so I can't reselect those items.

I've tried deleting the Interface folder and replacing it with a copy I made before the screw-up but the settings are stored somewhere else. Selecting reset or return to defaults didn't help. It only reverted the items currently displayed.

How do I remove the saved info for x-perl so I can copy a folder into my add-ons folder and start from scratch?

I'd just like to say that I love X-Perl and have been using it ever since a guild member recommended it to me back in Burning Crusade.

However, recently I tried using the Show Runes option under Player settings to see what it was like. I didn't care for it as much as I did the other add on I was using for my Runes so I turned it back off.

However now I have this gap between my buffs and my player frame and I can't get it to go back the way it was before. I even tried resetting it to the Default Settings and setting it back up the way I had it and its still there. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like:



Any suggestions on how to get my buffs back in line underneath my Player frame?

I bet you're not running Ora2 or CTRA, huh? I just moved to the beta of Ora3 and noticed this myself. What happens, is when the RL, running Ora2 or CTRA issues a durability check, xperl will try to answer it, if it doesn't find ora2 or ctra running on your machine. I put in a ticket at wowace so that xeksie knows about it.

If the error's really bothering you, you can comment out or delete lines 1460-1463 of xperl_raid.lua in the xperl_raidframes addon until it gets fixed right.

I don't want to steal any users that xperl uses but what I suggest is that you use BOTH xperl and grid. Grid now swaps players out when they are in a vehicle and it's very clear they are in one. Especially if you are a healer using Grid + Clique is heavily recommended.

But Grid just recently added this with 3.2 so I suggest you try it out if you haven't for awhile or at all.

Xperl rocks!

I suggest checking/reinstaling all your addons.
Thanks I did this and I think its working now, cheers.

Same for me I am afraid.

I would be happy if you gave the details where the change was made and I would be happy to change it to suit myself.

Re: Right click menu renders off screen at top

I am using Xperl 3.0.5e release. I believe it said r323 on your site as well. (Released 8/12/09)

When I have my player/target/target of target templates at the top, a right click will result in the menu now going UP , off the screen.

I have looked all over and only seen people posting about the right click menu going DOWN , as their templates are at the bottom of the screen.

I am wondering if inadvertently to solve their problem, you reversed it and now it happens for those who have it at the top. Anyhow, wanted to make you aware of the issue that was occurring for me. Thank you for your time

same thing is happening to me

Could you please make it so it monitor Vehicle bars in place of player bars, if player driving one.
I've heard it's possible now.
