Real Mob Health  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.18
by: SDPhantom [More]

Notice:
On February 18th, 2020, Blizzard released a hotfix that enables mob health to be displayed in the Default UI.
RealMobHealth has run its course and is now obsolete. I thank everyone for their support during the lifetime of this addon.


For existing users running the Default UI, here's a list of addons that'll provide an alternative to the UITweaks module.

2.18 (2020-01-11)
-Modified death detection to hold onto data a little longer to prevent mobs with reincarnation mechanics from spamming messages
-Internal timers now use C_Timer instead of OnUpdate to try to combat "No player named <Player> is currently playing." spam after being minimized

2.17 (2019-12-13)
-Added usage of INSTANCE_CHAT as a fallback for BATTLEGROUND. (Reports are saying BATTLEGROUND is defunct)

2.16 (2019-12-12)
-Added usage of BATTLEGROUND addon channel
-RAID/PARTY addon channels now check specifically for the home group category instead of all

2.15 (2019-12-11)
-Implemented an anti-spam measure to help mitigate Blizzard's throttle bug of the YELL channel
-TextStatusBar_UpdateTextString() code moved to a secure hook to mitigate Blizzard taint bug

2.14 (2019-12-10)
-The YELL addon channel has been added to the list of broadcast channels
-Some internal functions are now metatable-aware (opens possibilities for future features?)

2.13 (2019-09-25)
-Removed lingering debug message that was hiding in the aura scanner

2.12 (2019-09-23)
-Now detects health from a Hunter's Beast Lore

2.11 (2019-09-15)
-Localization.lua now uncludes Unicode BOM for easier UTF-8 editing

-Added koKR localization (courtesy of chkid)

-Added deDE localization (courtesy of Figlmueller)
-Fixed zhCN, zhTW, and koKR numeric abbreviations

2.8 (2019-09-09)

2.7 (2019-09-08)

2.6 (2019-09-08)
-Added frFR localization (courtesy of Pgmbru)

2.5 (2019-09-06)
-GameTooltip health text is now offloaded to the same on-use generation code that TargetFrame uses

2.4 (2019-09-05) APIVersion: 3.2
-Fixed TargetFrame text not checking options on creation
-Added health text to the GameTooltip's StatusBar
-"Show Tooltip Info" in options has been renamed "Show Tooltip Feedback" to avoid ambiguity with the new health text
-Added API version info to API
Note: APIVersion is noted in this log for continuity, however it's only available starting now
-Added RealMobHealth.OverrideOption() and RealMobHealth.UITweaksSetEnabled() to API (See APIDoc.txt)

2.3 (2019-08-11) APIVersion: 3.1
-Improved UITweaks' integration with layout addons
-Tooltip lines have been added to the localization table

2.1 (2019-08-08)
-Implemented GetNormalizedRealmName() fallback if UnitFullName("player") fails to return realm name
-Fixed stack overflow in UITweaks

2.0 (2019-07-14) APIVersion: 3.0
-Complete restructure
-Supporting code is split into different modules
-Peer system broadcasts discovered health values and makes queries through the AddOn comm channels

Uploaded a new version with a bunch of changes. There are a few urgent notes.



The Blizzard UI tweaks have been moved to their own addon now included in the bundle. (RMH_BlizzardUI)

There are some debug commands still in the addon for manipulating health data and testing the addon's collection routines without affecting the SavedVar. I'm not committed to leaving any of them in, so they remain undocumented for the time being.

The API function GetHealth() has been renamed to GetUnitHealth(). More functions have also been added, see ReadMe.txt for details.

CreatureKeys no longer have the level segment zero-padded. Because of this, the data for mobs lower than level 10 are going to appear to have their health data lost. Run this command to recover the data.
Code:
/run local t=RealMobHealth_CreatureHealthCache; for k,v in pairs(t) do if k:find("^0") or k:find("[%D]0") then t[k:gsub("^0+",""):gsub("([%D])0+","%1")],t[k]=v,nil; end end

Awesome addon. Could we please get an option to turn off the display on the nameplates? Would really appreciate that.

I'll take it into consideration. There is still a lot for me to work on at this time.

2.0 is finally out. This took a lot of work, but everything I wanted to implement is finally here. In addition to the list of new features in the changelog, an options system has been added to allow control of the reintegrated UI Tweaks module. There are also a couple cache control options I may expand in the future. No promises there though.

Speaking of which, anyone upgrading from 1.1 needs to remove RMH_BlizzardUI as it's no longer supported and will probably cause issues and/or crash due to API changes and conflicts.

Localization is implemented now, but I only have enUS done. This is only for command feedback and the options GUI. None if it is necessary for the core features of the addon to run.

I'll have to wait for the stress test to figure out what Blizzard changed in the latest build since beta ended a week ago. The addon should otherwise run normally, the only difference being the comm system may start responding to server echos. There are other checks that may negate this entirely due to how the whole thing is designed.

On the more technical side of things, it's from UnitFullName() not sending the server name for "player" when it used to. Otherwise, it's no different from UnitName(). There is another way of getting the normalized server name (formatted as seen in player names) using GetNormalizedRealmName(). Either way, I had hoped in saving a little CPU time in getting all I need in one function call instead of two.

Ah alright, then I don't expect that error to pop up on the stress test, might just be a bug with running it on a sandbox server (and hence not really useful).

I didn't include specific support for other UIs, so it's up to how they work with the TargetFrame. This is made as a library with minimal code to hook into the default UI if anyone (like me) runs with just that.

Version 2.1 adds a fallback for UnitFullName() in case it doesn't return the server name. It still is functioning correctly in my testing, but it's a safety precaution and as implemented, shouldn't affect performance in any meaningful way.

I also fixed a looping issue (stack overflow) caused by a lingering comment tag I forgot to remove when checking for global leaks.

The option "Show Nameplate Health" does not seem to work correctly. It sporadically shows health anyway and it always shows health if you relog / reload.

Looks like newly created nameplates were being bad and not checking options. This is fixed in version 2.2

Edit: If you're seeing a debug message about NameplateOptionUpdate, redownload the addon.
