MetaHud  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 20400-3
by: MetaHawk [More]

This addon adds a HUD to your UI, showing all the information normally displayed by the Player and Target frames and more.
Always thought it was a shame that Drathal's HUD was given up on the way it was so, I have taken the core of that code and MetaMorphed it.
Added some features which I thought were pretty useful, and removed some of the excess stuff. Decided to release it, as no doubt there are others who enjoyed this as much as me.
Full credit to the original author of course, for the initial code.

Features:
=========
Health/Mana Bars colour levels.
All Bars are animated.
Shows Level, Name, Class and Elite/Boss, Pet, NPC.
4 Alpha Settings for: Combat/Target selected/No Target/Player is regging.
4 Displaymodes for Health/Mana.
Many positioning and Scaling Options.
Hide Blizzard Player/Targetframe.
Target Menu with Leftclick on Targetname.
Player Menu with Rightclick on Playername.
Castingbar with Cast-time.
Option to hide Petbars.
Option to hide Targetbars/Text.
Load-on-Demand configuration display.
Target's Target display - click to switch to that target.
Aggro alert - audible and visual warnings.
Target PvP status.
Self PvP status.
Status icons for Rested, Combat, Raid leader, and Loot Master.
Target distance display.
Support for Mobhealth, Mobinfo2, and Mobhealth2.
FlightMap support.
FuBar_ToFu support.
myAddons Support.
FuBar Support.

See included Readme for patch history.

02 April 2008 - v20400-3
Argh! - 2 minutes after upload I realised I included wrong file in archive.
This one contains the correct chat alert sequence, and does the CC alert correctly.

02 April 2008 - v20400-2
Updated the recommended CC macro further up this page.
Removed chat alert mouse click from flight timer display.
Added new keybinding to the system keybindings for all chat alerts.
Set key in keybindings which will then produce the following chat alerts when used:
No Hud: Pastes your current location into message box for current channel.
Hud showing: Pastes your current target into message box for current channel.
In Flight: Pastes your flight destination/ETA into message box for current channel.
Active CC: Pastes time left on CC into message box for current channel.

29 March 2008 - v20400-1
Fixed flight timer errors for new flight paths and some other minor fixes.

Combo Points

Would it be possible, for Warriors, to have number of Sunders on target show up as combo points on the HUD? As a tank I have to pay very close attention to the number of sunders as improved sunder produces more threat than devastate until 5 sunders have been applied, at which point I need to swap and use devastate. A method of monitoring this on MetaHUD would be very cool and shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

** EDIT: I've implemented this. See code in post above. **

target buffs/debuffs request

hi metahawk,

big thumbs up on a great mod! used to use this pre-bc, then stopped playing for a while. now that i'm back for bc, i've got a request that hopefully would be fairly easy to implement. could u make an option that allows for the target buffs and debuffs to display on the right side of the target frame instead of the left? i've got my bars set to "player left-target right" so itd be nice to have the consistency of the buffs and debuffs of the target also on the right side.

oh, and add my voice to the masses of ppl wanting the implementation of an enemy cast bar!

thanks and keep up the great work!

metaHUD gooness - energy ticker?

I too love this simple and elegant mod. I was wondering if an energy ticker was in the works. I seem to remember previous versions having one built in to the borders of the energy bar (which is awesome) so any chance of getting that back? OR is it there and my noobishliness is showing OR l notice there is a check-mark for Energy Watch at full alpha.... but it doesn't seem to do anything. Am i bugged?

Thanks for putting in all the time and effort.

PS - love the combo point counter

This may be a minor problem, but something that is a little annoying.

The Metahud icon is either always on my minimap or on my fubar. If I hide both, it returns after I log back in. Any ideas on how to permanently hide it?

Yes it does. I, for a short while, only used MetaHud standalone. This was when I first noted it as something but disregarded it based on the fact its not super important. I since have installed ag_UnitFrames for some freedom with raids and groups and noticed this again when I decided to have the UnitFrames not show PvP status, thus relying on the MetaHud.

I get into a lot of trouble in PvP so instead of facing my campers (hehe) I just wait it out and it has been noticable since I have to select/deselect periodically around the time it should go off. I guess I'd never have this problem if I didn't try and take on 3-5 horde by myself thus never having to wait around to /wave at them as I walk away, hehe.

Anywho, it does do this regardless of what mod I have installed. I have FuBar, ag_UF, simple miny map, and a slew of others now. Disabled or not its the same thing.

Again, I realize this is minor and in no way a big deal but its nice to have some input on these mods with their author.

Good day and keep it up, greatest mod I use.

Cast Delay Bug

Any time you are hit by an enemy while channeling, the cast delay text shows "65555.99" or something close. The delay text then permanently stays on at 00.0, instead of only showing up when you have been hit.

I flag PvP, kill someone, being that I am on a PvE carebear server, sometimes I have to stealth and wait to unflag. When doing so, if I pick myself as a target, it shows the icon on the MetaHud, cool... but when I unflag, it doesn't go away until I deselect myself, then reselect myself.

Not a bug, just observation. No big deal but if you are looking for perfection, there is one area to be looked at.

Thanks a million and keep up the nice work.

That doesn't help. The error actually appears *less* when I use the macro with a [button] modifier as opposed to something else.

Get Vendetta or Natur.

IMHO MetaHUD is a HUD and doesn't need to be bogged down by something so huge.
