gHUD

just uploaded the latest version. it works more or less with 3.0 but there are some problems within this addon.
however im working on a complete rewrite so it might take some time till release.

v10028: i uploaded the latest changes but its nothing final. i have some serious rl troubles and cant afford to waste my time with wow anymore. so if anyone wants to take over this addon your free to do so.

the combo point frames can be changed in gHUD\gHUD\test\gHUDFrame.lua

at line 65-69 you can change those arguments: framename, parent, point, relativepoint, posx, posy, height, width, v(height offset), u(width offset)

@NeoSpud: hehe we take all kind of things for granted as long as we have them^^ as i mentioned you will be able to arrange/scale/colorize them as you like. i will add a option to display a number and maybe some effect like a short glow or so if you gain a combo point....

as i also mentioned, i want to convert all my frames to the new method of creating frames and i was thinking about something crazy. how about i only create the menu and options to "create" frames and let the user create the frames he wants in this menu? so for example you dont want the target's target frame you dont create it or delete it, so the addon does not use any resources for that frame.

how would you like that? im sure there would be some limitations as i want to keep it as simple as possible and im not sure yet what can be done but it would probably be a nice solution:D

@neospud: ok i think i understand now what you mean. you want 2 seperate options for "Fade ooc" and "fade when full hp/mp" ? so you can set it that the bar will fade if you dont have full hp/mp but are ooc?

also do you have any suggestions for the combo point bar how it should look or where it should be placed? i was thinking about an option to have it docked with the target bar or free and able to rotate it by 90degree.

edit: here is an example how it could look, http://www.file-upload.net/view-425822/cp.JPG.html with the method im using now every attribute can be changed. that means the anchor can be set, so you can attach it to whatever frame you want, also the anchor points can be set and such things as height, width, x/y offset, border, color, alpha.

that is what im working on at the moment so it will take some time to convert all the frames to the new structure and add the functionality.

@neospud: oh i have no rogue so i guess thats why i havent added combo points. i will see if i can add them. your frame should fade out if your not in combat and have full hp/mp. the alpha value can be set under misc options. hm im not sure if its possible to display the mana if your in cat/bear form, i have to check that. for the texture, you can replace the ghud\textures\bar.tga with the texture you want. maybe i will add some other textures later but thats low priority at the moment.

@lindalas: i take a look at this problem.

@Mecdemort : i dont plan to implement castbars, at the moment i use quartz for them. for my own buffs/debuffs i use buffalo but i havent found a addon to set up the target buff/debuffs. before i used discord unit frames where everything can be set up but i removed it because i have some fps problems in raids... about the dimming of the bars, if you have the option "fade" active under "misc" this will only fade the units if they are out of combat or have full hp/mana.

at the moment im working on a new solution for the frame creation so i only have one frame which will be generated (copied) for each unit, this is a big change to the addon and will take some time until its finished.

v10026: i added a option to hide the blizzard frames i use some other addons at the moment to display buffs/debuffs and so on and im not sure how much options i should add to the hud:/ i also added a dropdown menu to the frames(rightclick), maybe there are some anchor problems.

v10025: a small change to the fade code, if a unit is faded out and you select it the frame will fade in so you can see whats going on. new options can be found in the menu (Health/Mana Font Left) to change the text direction from left to right. this will allow some more layout possibilities:D

• • previous settings will be lost when installing this version**

gHUD_10023 i rewrote the code for fade and range support but its not finished and the range alpha/timein/timeout are taken from the fade option. also flashing is not implemented yet. the new options can be found under the misc tab.

"you need to close wow and delete the gHUD folder before installing this version! this will reset your settings!!"

that is on my list but there is some conflict with the frames. as you can see the name, hp/mp max and % dont fade and thats what i need to fix before i implement the option for the fade amount.

i canceled my account today because shaman suck and i have some things to do in rl. so i wont update this addon anymore. maybe i come back in some month if everything goes right but only time will tell. if someone wants to continue this addon send me a pm and i give you the rights to update it.

@xdunpealx : there is no way to make the bars horizontal and i dont know if i ever implement that. there is no option yet to change the colors, but its on the todo list and will be added in a future release.
