DUF problem

[mcbarney]

Slowly sorting out my config and it's coming along nicely, there is however one thing I cannot change. Whether this is bugged or me not doing something properly, i'm not sure.

I want the health and mana bars to change colour when they get low and DUF readme shows how to do this in the 'Context Colours' menu but nothing changes on the bars when I make a change.

Not sure if this is the problem, but duf often expects that when you make a change to a setting you should press "enter" to execute the change. You might want to give that a try.

[mcbarney]

Ya, I did try that. I guess what I would like to know is if someone does actually have the feature working. If I know it is not bugged I will keep trying stuff.

I'm honestly surprised people still use DUF. That thing has become so buggy since Loz backstabbed his fans in the back....

Has anyone figured out if this was possible to do or not?

I use DUF with no problems at all. As long as it works I will continue to use it, because it is the only unit frames that can go vertacle.

My mana and health bars change color as they deplete. To set the colors and the percent that the colors change at, you have to hit the button on the config screen on the lower left "context colors". There you can set the health, mana, and most other color settings.

**SIDE NOTE**--I really hope someone keeps this mod up to date. I have tried all other unit frames that I know of, and this is still my favorite one (mainly because it's so versitle and can be configured in almost any imaginable way).

Duf isn't buggy. There may be one or two bugs, but other than that it works 100%. Loz never stabbed anyone in the back; Do you realize how much work needed to be put into DUB? He needed to completely recode duf, dab, dfm, dart, and the discord library to be all in one, and work efficiently. Loz stopped working on DUB when the website went down, and that's pretty much the whole reason he stopped.

Back to your problem,

In the health and mana bar option, there's some drop down menu on the right that say context colors or something like that. In each option change it to "none", that should stop your problem.

The pull down on the right of the Health bar and Mana Bar is already set to none. I've also clicked on the context colors button at the bottom and changed those to red and green, and changed the percentages (both in whole number 60/40 and decimal percentage 0.6/0.4) and nothing. Did Mazzle hack in a graphic for the health and mana bars that are over-riding the DUF settings?

Sorry...I thought you were talking about the text earlier...If you want the bar to show health color, you have to set the drop-down menu "main" to health. I have my bar set to class and the text set to health.

Try changing from "none" to "health" in the drop-down.

[mcbarney]

Awesome, thanks guys. All working a treat now.

I can say that the option did work properly at one time... before burning crusade...
Can't really fault Loz... he did a metric a**load of work for basically free, as do almost all the developers. But that doesn't change the fact that most of the old Discord mods (that I LOVED) are fairly broken at this point because no-one has been keeping them up to date... and from what I've seen, a lot of things that the Discord mods used to do either just don't work they way they were implemented or don't work at all period any longer (a good example is Group Buttons, which Bliz seems determined to keep broken, although there are a few good attempts to replace it out there on this site) Your best bet, if you want to keep using any Discord mods effectively is to A) Sit down and pour through the LUA coding and see if you can update it properly yourself, or B) Beg, Bribe, or Blackmail a coder you know to bring it up to date for you. Or do what I did and go with option C) Find something else that does what you want almost as well. What can I say, I'm lazy

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this that still uses DUF.... I'm using Mazzle UI with the DUF and trying to figure out how to show the #of debuffs I have (like arcane buffet), right now it just shows I have the debuff but no # Can anyone help me?

this is what i found on an old post. I had exactly the same problem. This should fix it :

It's a copy/paste bug in the DUF_UnitFrame_UpdateDebuffs() function, which was probably copied from the DUF_UnitFrame_UpdateBuffs() function.

To fix it open DUF_UnitFrame.lua, and search for -
Code:

function DUF_UnitFrame_UpdateDebuffs(unit)

A few lines later you'll find -
Code:

count = GetPlayerBuffApplications(buffid);

(in my version that's line 978)
change it to -
Code:

debuffApplications = GetPlayerBuffApplications(buffid);

This should fix the problem
