i do have a question about the castbars from the nameplates, is it possible to use ONLY the castbar without any other option of the addon or do i need to stick with the customnameplate/ are all other funtions necessary/needed to be activated to make the nameplate castbar work ? i was looking for EXACTLY this function since i am so used to it from playing TBC

the links having no brackets will only show that way on your chat, appearing in the usual [link] format to others did the guy whispering you tell you any more detail as to how your links were 'broken'?

If you shift click an item from chat that has no brackets, to re-link it.. then it will still have no brackets for other people who see you link it.

you're right — didn't realise this. doesn't break the functional formatting of the link, and I'm not particularly sure if there's any way to bypass it happening. i guess it's something to look into though

I'm wondering if it's possible to recolor the pet action bar depending on if pet is on passive/attack etc., because currently it is not possible to see as the skin overwrites this. I was thinking maybe recoloring the frame around the button, like here:


Other than that, well done, your UI is amazing, I love using it.

this is something i need to add back in — i'll make it a priority.

hey modernist,

anyway to get just the nameplates part of modui as a standalone addon?

I would really like this too. that nameplates is awesome, and honestly the whole addon is awesome too, but when you already have an UI that you are already comfortable with, is hard to change it. The nameplate with the casting bar is one if not the best thing for pvp and I would really like to run this without having so much trouble from other features of the modui pack.

I'll look to making it so that you can shut off everything except the nameplate castbars and/or the nameplate restyle.

Found two bugs:

If you go to the color settings and hit cancel it will set the color to black instead of not changing anything.

The bars in the character reputation/skills menu do weird animations when you scroll (only the ones that don't change color when scrolling)

#1 — aware of it, just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. there's also an issue where buttons dedicated to that specific UI colour selection will also appear whenever you use the colourpickerframe (i.e. for chat). workin' on it.

#2 — this is intentional and i actually find it oddly aesthetically appealing. it's the same "smooth" animation applied to unit frame statusbars, the value changes as the fauxscrollframe order does and so the sliding transition is applied. you can unhook it from the table here if it bothers you.

here's something that may or may not make it into modui — dedicated boss unit frames for raids



and a moment to promote an addon by pal & frequent collaborator + contributor to modui, BG Enemy Frames by kuurtzen.

it has nice borders when you use it alongside mine! it shows every enemy member of your battleground — with proximity targeting, CD tracking, castbars + flag runner indication. it rules



you can also see the development of the raidframes some more in these. the "+" & "-" button tucked under the minimap is the new spawner for raid frames, & will show whilst you're in a raid. it means you don't have to open the raid window when you want to show or hide 'em.

Well, the problem is not the animation per se but it's weird that it only happens on the bars that don't change color when scrolling.

This UI is so great I can't express it in words

one thing I'm missing from it is a skinned castbar (border). I tried doing it with eCastingbar but cant get the skin right ...
This is ofcourse nothing urgent but I'm wondering if it's on the to-do list?

cheerios!

hi! its not something i plan to include since i prefer the look of the default version

BUT

you can change it to that with these couple of lines of code, just drop them at the bottom of this file:

Code: Select all

    local bg = CastingBarFrame:GetRegions() bg:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', 0, 1)
    CastingBarBorder:Hide()
    CastingBarFlash:SetAlpha(0)
    CastingBarFlash.Show = function() end
    CastingBarText:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, 13, 'OUTLINE')
    CastingBarText:ClearAllPoints() CastingBarText:SetPoint('CENTER', 0, -2)
    modSkin(CastingBarFrame, 18)
    modSkinPadding(CastingBarFrame, 3, 5, 3, 5, 3, 5, 3, 5)
    modSkinColor(CastingBarFrame, .2, .2, .2)
