Bug Reporting

Use a good error catcher (like BugSack from files.wowace.com) and provide the full error text, and give as much information as possible to recreate the problem. Don't assume I know what you're talking about with some three word report.

Either use the Ticketing System, or post a message on the wowace forum page: http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=14358

Introduction

Perl, with Extra stuff. Much enchanced from Nymbia's Perl UnitFrames, and a complete replacement for Blizzard's default unit frames, including raid frames and raid tools, with little remaining of the original Nymbia code.

Range Finder (combined with optional health check and/or debuff check) for all frames based on spell or item range test.

HoT Monitor will highlight units clearly that have your own active Heal over Time spells. Regardless of how many other heal over time buffs are on the raid members, you can keep track of your own ones and when they expire.

Debuff Highlighting in standard debuff colours on all friendly frames. Priority given to show debuffs that you can cure first.

Raid Frames, buff icons, MT list units and some other portions or X-Perl are Created on demand. Saving a lot of time and memory at system startup. Defering the creation of many parts of X-Perl to when they are actually required. And of course, most often outside of raids they are never required and are never created.

Raid Target icon support for Target, Target's Target, MT Targets.

Raid Tooltip will show combat rezzers available (druids with Rebirth ready (or very soon available) and any normal rezzers out of combat) if you bring up tooltip of a dead person.

In-combat indicators for all units.

3D Portraits for player, pet, target, focus, party. Optional. Of course this may degrade your framerate somewhat because you are displaying more 3D character models that without this option. But some like it pretty, and it does look cool.

Red and Green combat flashes for frames when player, pet, target, party, partypets, raid take damage/heals. Useful indication of things happening.

Added time left on party member/target buffs/debuffs when in a raid, these depend somewhat on CTRA/oRA/oRA2 sending appropriate information over the addon channel, although some of it can be determined at run time by X-Perl, when a player gets a buff for example, we know how long it should last, and therefor when it should expire.

Totally new options window including all X-Perl options and access via minimap icon.

Configurable colours for borders and backgrounds. Including class coloured names, and configurable reaction colours.

Much care has been taken with code size, memory load, memory usage per cycle and so on. LuaProfiler/OnEvent mods used extensively and regularly to ensure that X-Perl does not do more work than is absolutely necessary.

Assists View

Will show anyone from raid assising you with your target, and can also show healers or all plus known enemies targetting you.

Tooltips for the same also available (on player and target frames) if you prefer to not use the main window.

MT Targets

Replaces CTRA/oRA2 MT Targets window, and doubles as a replacement for the Perl RaidFrames warrior targets.

Indicator shows which target you are on.

Frames will be coloured to show if tanks have duplicate targets.

Casting Monitor

(WORK IN PROGRESS)

Shows selected classes (defaults to healer classes) in a list (much like the MT List), but with some differences.

Shows mana bars and cast bars on left. Their targets on right. Health bar as normal, but a secondary small red bar on targets which shows the maximum single hit this unit has received since entering combat. The secondary bar will extend downwards from their current HP level down to as far as zero.

A green name on the targets indicates this is the same target that you have. You can click on casters or their targets as expected.

For druids, right clicking on a caster will cast Innervate on them.

For shamans, right clicking on a caster will cast Mana Tide Totem. Check the * indicator to see if they're in your group.

All bars can be re-sized in X-Perl main options (Monitor section).

Totals can be toggled (from the 'T' minibutton at top of frame) which gives overview of raid mana status.

Raid Admin

(WORK IN PROGRESS)

Save/Load raid roster setups Only does direct save and load for the moment, but more to come (templates and such).

Item Check

Replacement for /raitem /radur /raresist /rareg. Use the old commands before, or drop items in the left item list.

Query button will perform /raitem on all ticked items (query always includes dur and resists) and you can then view and review all the results whenever, without having to re-query each item.

Includes everyone in raid, so you don't have to work out who doesn't have items, it'll list them with 0 instead of no entry.

Active Scanner to check raid member's equipment for the item selected. So you can be sure that people actually have the item worn (Onyxia Cloak for example), without having to go round single target inspecting everyone who 'forgot' to install CTRA for the 50th raid in a row.

Grim Reaper

Removed from X-Perl, but continues as it's own standalone Ace mod.

    The tooltips from the buffs under the player frame are bugged, it shows the tooltip for the buff thats to the left of the buff you have your cursor over.

    I know most people know better by now but don't download the linked to file as it contains a trojan. It really is pathetic that people have nothing better to do than wrap good mods with viruses to try and steal people's stuff...

    While Xperl is on, I can't track Achievements. Anything I need to do to allow this to happen. I keep getting a message that says I am already tracking too many, but I'm tracking nothing. What do I need to change in the settings?

    I managed to somehow get rid of my All, Player, Target, and Party tab on my Xperl, while playing around with settings and they won't come back. Is there anyway I can get these back? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and neither worked.

    Please help.

    Love this addon, just having a minor problem. The player frame has two positions, when its in fullscreen its correct but when I am in windowed mode it moves up and half of it is off the screen. If I move the frame in windowed mode then when I go back to fullscreen it has moved way down, covering my pet frame. Any easy solution I'm missing for this?

    Hi,

    If you use XPerl to support different play-styles and specs that you find yourself switching between a lot you might like an addon I've written called 'SetTheory'. It allows you to define different sets of addon configurations and switch between them with one button press saving you time and making those times when you enter an arena or boss fight with the wrong UI/spec/gear/trinket/etc a thing of the past.

    You can find out more about it here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/settheory.aspx

    Thanks,

    Freaking amazing! It really saves a lot of space, gives more information, and is just beautiful.

  • Is it possible to turn xperl's party frames off in a party and just use the raid frames? I really like how those raid frames work and getting them to work when not in a raid, like doing 5-mans would be less cluttered on my screen.

    Thanks

    Maintenence on xperl has ground to a halt. Spells and abilities were never properly implemented clear since 3.0, and it's pretty obvious that the author has lost interest in the project. I highly recommend the switch to grid or vuhdo, or even pitbull.

  • Gumurak said 

    Wow you obviously don't know the author very well. And vuhdo is pretty hard on the cpu right now. But hey you are entitled to your opinion. Even if it is made out pure unrelated speculation. he works on about 1500 projects and works in an industry that demands his full attention most the time. Gratz on trying to plug other addons based off conjecture.
