EventHorizon Vitals

Version: 2.3

by: Taroven [More]

Please remember that your continued donations help to keep EventHorizon alive. I do not play WoW anymore, and though my account is active and currently in good standing, I do not have the financial resources to keep it up for the sole purpose of maintaining addons.

I apologize for the donation window when you download this addon, but I find it does the best job of bringing this situation to the attention of EH's users.

What is EventHorizon_Vitals?
EH_Vitals is a plugin for EventHorizon that displays information EventHorizon normally can or will not. This includes your current power (energy/mana/rage/runic power/runes), weapon enchant timers, and combo points.

All of this information is displayed in a little frame positioned on EventHorizon's edge.

This module also fully supports vehicles, for Ulduar runs and the occasional Malygos kill.

How do I set it up?
EventHorizon_Vitals uses a very similar configuration to EventHorizon itself. This means that it should work quite well without any tweaking whatsoever.

By default, EH_Vitals copies EventHorizon's background and border. Most text is class colored (Exceptions: Runes and vehicle power are colored by type, combo points use a custom coloring scheme).

If you would like to change the behavior of EH_Vitals, have a look at EventHorizon_Vitals/config.lua. This file holds all of the settings for the addon. A file named myconfig.lua may be created for settings that you want to stick around between updates.

There are enough options in there to satisfy even the most power-hungry addon tweaker. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments here.

v2.3: API updates.
* Class warnings will use EventHorizon's info instead of collecting it on their own.
* Priests should no longer see a Vampiric Embrace warning when in a healing spec.
* Added a level check for most class warnings.
* Fixed the useClassColor option.

v2.2: Using an older myconfig with this release probably won't work well. Be sure to check against the new and changed options.
* 4.0.1 and Cataclysm compatibility.
* Cleaned up a lot of code, added notifications for a lot of classes. The actual list of changes is pretty huge.

My apologies if this feature is already implemented, but if it's not then I'm requesting it. (also, in case you just tell me to get redshift: I want it to just hide all together regardless. I'd like to be able to toggle EH for times like when I'm doing arenas or leveling on an alt.) Love the whole addon btw. Thanks for any support. <3

It's a little odd that I never did add that feature, isn't it?

I prefer to always have Vitals showing myself, and never got around to writing one in because of that, but it does need a toggle.

For the short term, I can add in a separate slash command to Vitals (/ehv and /eventhorizon_vitals). Longer term, I would definitely prefer /eventhorizon and /ehz having the ability to hide all attached frames at once.

Vitals is in the middle of a minor rewrite to fix some vehicle issues and add a self-hiding feature for when it's pointless to be shown anyway, so it may be a while before I can throw in the slash.

In the meantime you can paste this into a new macro to show/hide both Vitals and EventHorizon at will.

Code:

/script local f = EventHorizon_VitalsFrame; if f:IsVisible() then f:Hide() else f:Show() end
/eventhorizon

It'd work for the currently selected target, but as soon as I acquired a new target the vitals frame would show again. I'm guessing this is happening because vitals is trying to update the combo points every time i swap targets. (yes I'm playing a feral druid.) I suppose I can just disable vitals and reload UI every time i hit arenas until you get around to implementing this feature as it won't be too terrible of an inconvenience to me. Anyways, it's great to see you're still developing this addon and I'm grateful for that. ^_^

Only reason I can see for that happening is if you have Redshift enabled (edit: and set to hide Vitals), but I'll take another look.

The next version of Vitals will be much more adept at showing/hiding the frame, that's for sure.

Side note, I'm pretty much going for a full rewrite of Vitals now. The way it currently does things is horrible, to say the least. Efficient, yes, but saying it could do better would be a complete and total understatement. I've got all of tomorrow to work on it, expect results soonish.

Demise_ A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	This addon is an aweomse addition to eventhorizon, thanks so much. There is a small issue i came across though, and that is my weapon enchant cd timer is 30minutes instead of 30 seconds. Edit: my bad, thought it tracked weapon enchants not posions. Still good though. Last edited by Demise_ : 01-11-10 at 12:23 AM.

Taroven A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 837 Uploads: 11	Actually, I made Vitals specifically for my Rogue. The enchant/poison timers track in minutes, not seconds. If you're looking to see something different in the timer position, by all means let me know and I'll see what I can do. Random trivia, the timers were originally made as a separate addon. Didn't make a whole lot of sense since it was essentially a module for a module, and Vitals and the little timers shared a lot of the same event and update code anyway. I ended up merging them. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases. Last edited by Taroven : 01-11-10 at 07:06 AM.

It would be great to see a threat display like: My threat / Targets Target threat All as % with colour indicators (where when you're within 3 % for example it goes red etc) so could look like: 107% / 110%

107% / 110%

It'd be tough fitting that on the frame for every class.

I do, however, have a threat bar module that's in the process of playtesting and general tweaks. I may release it over the weekend, just have some issues to iron out.

Sylna A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	SpellID's instead of spellnames? I really like the way some things are displayed now in the vitals bar, but I would like to suggest not to use the skills name (f.e. "Inner Fire"), but using their SpellID instead. This would free me from editing the core.lua after every release to support my locale of the game. atm it all only works with english locale. Last edited by Sylna : 03-20-10 at 06:18 AM.

This all gets much easier on me in Cataclysm, when spell ranks go away for good. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases.

maltese A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 54 File comments: 42 Uploads: 2	Would it be possible to add in the ability to change the color of the text of energy based on defined values? For instance, below 35 energy it would be Red, between 35 and 55 it could be orange, and above 55 it could be its normal color.

I'll see what I can do next time I get around to working on Vitals. __________________ Former author of EventHorizon Continued and Other Releases.

Got this error when starting up:

Code:

[2010/04/07 16:21:03-3586-x1]: EventHorizon_Vitals-1.6b1\core.lua:201: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got nil)
EventHorizon_Vitals-1.6b1\core.lua:201: in function `SpawnStyleFrame'

EventHorizon_Vitals-1.6b1\core.lua:54: in function <Interface\AddOns\EventHorizon_Vitals\core.lua:51>

Somehow my BugSack on this Char wont display full error. Will post the big one later.

I guess this one results from the first one:

Code:

[2010/04/07 16:21:04-3586-x71]: EventHorizon_Vitals-1.6b1\core.lua:398: attempt to call method 'CheckEH' (a nil value)

Vorsim A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 12 Uploads: 0	Not a big deal but if you have EventHorizon Vitals without EventHorizon itself loaded it kills your fps. I use addon switcher to swap between Eventhorizon and another debuff timer. I added Eventhorizon Vitals recently and forgot to switch it off for the profile without EventHorizon and my fps went from 25-30 to 8.

Let's face it - I spent nearly as much time working on EventHorizon, Axis, and their various modules as I do at work. Your continued support and donations keep them all alive and kicking.
