Rogue Focus Classic

My suggestions aside: Thanks for providing such a simple and minimalist addon. If it weren't for this, I'd probably have had to to install some bloated unitframe package to get the things I need.

Suggestion: This is a proposal I'm not so sure should be included, but since I'm using it myself nevertheless, I might as well share it with others. Now, this addon is called ROGUE Focus Classic after all, but since I'm playing a druid, I like to see my current resource bar at all times (be it mana, rage or energy) and combo points on the current target. I made a modification so that the resouce bar is blue and displays mana in caster form, red/rage in bear form, in addition to the default orange/energy in cat form. To accomplish this, I modified
function RogueFocus:IsSupported()
if ( UnitPowerType("player") == 3 ) then
return true
else
return false
end
end
into this:
function RogueFocus:IsSupported()
if(RogueFocus.Class == "ROGUE" or RogueFocus.Class == "DRUID") then
if ( UnitPowerType("player") == 3 ) then
local Frame = _G["RogueFocusEnergyBar"];
Frame:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0.75, 0);
return true
elseif ( UnitPowerType("player") == 1 ) then
local Frame = _G["RogueFocusEnergyBar"];
Frame:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0, 0);
return true
elseif ( UnitPowerType("player") == 0 ) then
local Frame = _G["RogueFocusEnergyBar"];
Frame:SetStatusBarColor(0, 0, 1);
return true
end
else
return false
end
end
This change qualifies as more of a hack than a modification perhaps, but I wanted to keep it small and simple, so as to be able to quickly modify future versions of the addon as well.

Suggestion: I found it somewhat difficult to see the actual bars underneath the numbers which are laid on top of them. I solved this by simply commenting out all the SetText() calls, so that only the plain bars are visible. Perhaps you could add a checkbox to the interface to turn the bar text on or off?

Suggestion: Indicate the target's class by coloring the target health bar accordingly. Very nice for PVP. If the target is an NPC, just display the current red bar. To accomplish this, I modified this function:
RogueFocus:UpdateTargetHealthBar().
I changed this (I tried to make it more readable, but extra whitespace is removed when I post):
if (UnitExists("target") and (UnitIsUnit("target", "player") == nil)) then
RogueFocusBorderTargetHealth:Show();
else
RogueFocusBorderTargetHealth:Hide();
end
into this:
if (UnitExists("target")) then
if (UnitIsPlayer("target")) then
healthColor = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[select(2, UnitClass("target"))];
Frame:SetStatusBarColor(healthColor.r, healthColor.g, healthColor.b);
RogueFocusBorderTargetHealth:Show();
else
Frame:SetStatusBarColor(1, 0, 0);
RogueFocusBorderTargetHealth:Show();
end
else
RogueFocusBorderTargetHealth:Hide();
end
.

Pretty good add-on. I like simplicity. But, will there ever be an addition in the future to announce in some way when you have "X" amount of energy? Such as bar color changes or something, since a message would create massive screen spam.

I really love this addon but one thing I've always wished it had was the name of your current target with the health bar. I would imagine this is possible but I know nothing of lua or coding in general really. Is this something I could add myself pretty easily?

Thanks for a really great addon >.>

I've been using this addon for... a long time. From kara to ulduar thus far and have no intention of stopping now, with that being said is there any chance that you'll release some new skins or colors of it?

hi, nice addon!
it would be great if you could add something like a castbar of the enemy.
And an option where the user can decide if he wants players health / enemys health / energy (and so on) on top or in the second line or whatever.

This is a great addon and a must-have for any rogue, but may I suggest turning off the 'ding!' when energy is full by default?

I let curse auto-update about 20 addons and it drove me mad for 2 days trying to figure out what was causing this new noise every timed I signed in, cast FoK for fun or fought something.

thnx for the effort!

If someone knows how to add my own HP bar with text in percentages (%), make that the energy is shown only by its value not with its max value (100 only; not 100/100) and the enemy HP is shown in percentages (%) please tell me. Thats the only thing i need in this addon. Thanks. I ask becouse i am total noob in LUA and coding/programming/whatever-u-call-it.

I agree. If anyone can help me figure out how to add a bar with my own HP I would really appreciate it.

great addon, but:
i still use MassoComboBar but since last patch, the combopoints weren't shown any more...
in your lua i see, that you are using the code from Masso. do you have any idea, why the UpdateComboBar-function is not working any more?

ok. i understand. but maybe it is possible to implement the hp and mana bar of the target to RFC?

Are you able to improve this mod slightly more its really good an all, but id like to see a s'n'd timer along with poisons and a rupture timer just underneath it. similar to quartz' rogue profile. :D

If I play my druid, then RFC isn't always seen, if I go in a cat form (eg. I switch between cat and bear). And I must always change position of RFC, because RFC is seen on the default place.
P.S. I have version 1.2.1
