bump for all these nerds joining the server now

[Poony]

How are the CTMod buff and debuff frame called? Anyone knows?

Just not sure what to replace in

local region=getglobal(firstToUpper(unitID).."FrameBuff"..i)
local region=getglobal(firstToUpper(unitID).."FrameDebuff"..i)

Thanks in advance

I have the same question as above, but for X-Perl and LunaUnitFrames

where can I check what are those frames called?

Dear Mr. Schaka,

Please spill the beans on how you changed the default bar texture for health and mana for your default unit frames , would be much appreciated.

Someone knows what to replace for x-perl ?

is it possible to change something in the files that makes the duration cooldown numbers to be abit bigger like a scale etc?

thx in advance

CTMod should be just "TargetFrameBuff"..i

type /run message(GetMouseFocus():GetName()) while mouseovering a buff/debuff and you will find what it's called. Then proceed as above.

That's my Vanilla UI. Not really up to date, but I barely play, so I don't really need it. Basically everything but the addon folder are textures that overwrite the default textures. Then the SchakaPvPUI.lua styles them a little bit, but that part doesn't work flawlessly.

Cooldown.lua, line 69.

Code: Select all

this.text:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, this:GetHeight()/2.8, "OUTLINE");

the this:GetHeight/2.8 part is the size. You can hard code it, by replacing the whole thing with say 18 or 24, or 5. Instead you can also modify the 2.8 (making it smaller will result in a bigger size, so you can try 2.2 for example.

Dear Schaka,

this looks awesome. Sadly I have not enough time right now to fully understand that code and learn from your API usage.

I am working on this right now and I also encountered the problem, that aura event is not proced when buffs are self-casted while still being active (= rebuff before buff times out). However since I'm working a on a base where I actually know when buff timers are reset by just simply checking their remaining duration, I was able to overcome this. This is sadly not applicable for you scenario, as far as I understand.

What I would like is a video, showing how it works (and not works) to get an better impression.
Anyway, impressive job!

Code: Select all

local first, last = string.find(arg1, "([\s\S]*)gains") -- idk what I'm doing

HAHAHAHA

It has something todo with Regular Expressions, I will try to figure it out. Something about getting the casting players name...

I was actually trying to read the playername/spellname from combatlog messages. Honestly, back then I had no idea how to deal with regex and Lua 5.0's implementation of it is a little weird anyway. It's not even regular regex.

As for buff duration and the like on yourself, you should look into my backport of LoseControl for Vanilla. It's a bit bugged, so I never bothered releasing it, actually. But it should give you a decent idea on how to handle things. On top of that, if you're looking into how to hook functions to renew spell timers properly (like the push of an action button or CastSpellByName), you should really look into SpellTimer, as it is probably the smartest, most well done Vanilla addon I have ever seen. The English implementation lacks proper combatlog parsing for some classes/spells, but overall it does the trick and you can learn a lot from the code.

I was also wrong in the OP, when I said that UNIT_AURA doesn't fire for target/party/etc - it does. I probably implemented something wrong, when I initially worked on EBFV. It's also worth noting, that I haven't touched the WoW API in almost a year. But if you have any questions, feel free to get back to me.

Wouldn't the easiest thing be to localize Spelltimer to the English client, as then all the work of trieing to achieve the same thing is already done?
Might actually try to do that myself

[schaka]

SpellTimer has a bunch of other issues. If I had to work from scratch now, I would use it as the basis and create my cooldown frames alongside its bars (or hide the bars). However, if someone else wanted to do something new, they should probably take the best of both parts. Because SpellTimers infrastructure is shit and it's a bitch to work with. As are most addons from that time.

Hi guys, anyone know how to set timers for Luna Unit Frames? I tried everything you said but I have not gotten.

Thanks in advance.
