Unit Frame Action Bars

Version: 0.9

by: Jasmeralia [More]

This is a fork of PartyBars by mubari. Both Unit Frame Action Bars and PartyBars are designed as replacements for Discord's popular Group Buttons mod, as GB is not compatible with 2.0 (and Loz is busy working on other things at the moment).

Note:

If you want me to help you with a problem, please help me by telling me what unit frame mod(s) you are using. If you don't, then the amount of help I can give you is virtually nil.

Done:
* Allow support for attaching to unit frames rather than requiring the user to drag each bar over to the frame by hand (not very viable for 40 mans, imho). (Added in v.0.4)
* Allow support for alternative unit frames (such as Perl, aguf, etc) (Added in v.0.4)
* Optimized the XML file considerably using template inheritance
* Added support for XPerl (Added in v.0.5)
* Added initial config window (Added in v.0.6)
* Added a separate hostile target bar (as long as you are not in-combat when changing targets, it will hide the friendly target bar and show the hostile bar). (Added in v.0.6.)
* Fixed the Inner Fire Fade hack (finally-- even tested with my newly leveled priest). No longer requires the spell to be placed on the last button, place it anywhere on the player action bar and it will be faded/unfaded appropriately. (v.0.7)
* Fixed rescaling issues so scale is displayed appropriately. (v.0.7)
* Fixed it so that frames are movable again and added a config option to lock the frames. Note that if you move it and lock the frames it may get moved back by the attachment code-- this is something I need to tweak further. ** No longer accurate. ** (v.0.7)
* Added support for German users of the Inner Fire fading hack. (v.0.8)
* Added /ufab showraid command.(v.0.8)
* Added support (untested) for empty bars to optimize button usage. (v.0.8)
* Added config option to hide party bars in raids. (v.0.8)
* Added code to detect x/y offsets when a frame is dragged and save them. (v.0.9)
* Fixed bug where UFAB would try to autodetect raid frames with main style rather than raid style. (v.0.9)
* Fixed CTUF raid detection and CTUF/XPerl frame name code. (v.0.9)
* Added code to ignore unsupported frame combinations (ToTT and Blizzard UI, etc.) so they will not generate errors/warnings. (v.0.9)
* Added /ufab resetall command. (v.0.9)
* Added /ufab raidreset command. (v.0.9)

Todo:

* Improve support and detection for other unit frames (works best with Perl Classic frames)
* Improve config interface
* Allow support for vertical action bars (so you could have 2-3 bars by each raid frame to keep screen real-estate to a minimum)
* Fix target/empty target frames
* Add config support for controlling number of buttons assigned to bars
* Get rid of the 120 standard button limit
* Add config support for attachment point offsets

Please help me support other unit frames by noting when you get errors about frames being unknown and what frame add-ons you are using. If you can find out the name of the unknown frame, even better.

At this point, unknown frames should default to the standard draggable bar. All known frames should auto-attach themselves correctly. If you get a message about the attachment failing, please note which frame and what add-ons you are using... it's possible either the detection was incorrect, or I got the name of the frame wrong.

AGUF users: I believe that agUF should be properly supported at this time, thanks to DUF's FrameFinder. There does seem to be a timing issue sometimes where UFAB will try to attach to the agUF frame before agUF finishes creating the frame. A simple "/ufab partyreset" should fix this.

XPerl users: I believe that I have the raid frames correct, but please test it out and let me know how it works. (I often code from work and can only do minimal testing.)

Hostile/Friendly target bars: Please let me know how this works out for you all. I can potentially see an issue where you are in-combat and changing from a friendly target to a hostile target and it cannot swap the bar due to the UI Protection Blizzard has implemented. If this is an active issue I am open to suggestions as to how to design a viable workaround (perhaps show both bars and change alpha-colors to make buttons invisible? They would still be clickable but it would be almost like hiding the bar...)

Blank target bar buttons: I'm aware of this issue and am working to resolve it.

This mod relies 100% on user configuration of Spells and as such should be resistant to WOW infrastructure changes resulting in breakage. This is a BETA release and is not feature complete Included features: Player buttons Party buttons Target buttons Button scale Number of buttons hide/show based on class blink/dim/faded buttons based on buff/debuff unit status blink/dim/hide/show based on unit health status Disabled but partly coded features (coming soon): Pet buttons Raid Buttons Enhanced target bar (dim/show by friendly vs enemy) note This is my first mod, features, code cleanups, optimizations and suggestions are welcome'''

I'll check out later versions, hoping the issue will be fixed Thanks for working on getting us groupbuttons back!

I have the same problem with version .9 (current version here). I have tried the suggestions here, but the black boxes will not disappear from the middle of the screen. Perhaps it is something with bongos or ag_unitframes?

There also seems to be a conflict with bongos, as it picks up items in rack 10 to use for the buttons, and it gets a bit freakish in Raids but this may be due to support of ag_unitframes that I am using. All in all, minor problems and I have found this to be the closest replacement to Group Buttons. I check this site daily for updates. Thank you for the time invested and I am looking forward to future versions!

jupiterz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Hi Jas, thanks for keeping this great mod alive - can't live without it...and neither can those I heal 2 feedbacks/things I've noticed (you may already know these). I'm using 0.9 version: - party bars don't always appear...sometimes when a new party member gets added his bar doesn't appear. I do a "showall" and bring up all 5 to get around this. - Perl attach point when not using "compact" perl UF...I'm a Perl UF user, I noticed UFAB will attach correctly when Perl UF are in "compact" mode, but if you select Perl "normal" (not compact) unitframes, UFAB ends up underneath the Perl UF (thus you can't select/move UFAB's little black control dot). But hey, great mod - have fun leveling, and THANKS for putting your time into this mod for all of us!

I don't need them and the error message that comes up randomly is kind of annoying. Is there just the 1 central location to change how many buttons are available for each bar?

Ok, that's ToTT, not ToT... ToTT is not supported by Blizzard's default UI at all. UFAB 0.9 should have removed that warning message.

FYI... since I know some folks are wondering where this mod is going...

I've been busy levelling my paladin and my mage with the advent of BC, and while development of this may have slowed, it's not going to become unsupported. I'm using it on a daily basis and getting a better idea for how I want it to evolve-- both as a user and as the developer.

For the not-faint of heart, I did stumble across a similar mod that others might find interesting: eXtreme Unit Buttons. I like some of the things that mod author did, and dislike others. But s/he's done some things (coded their own button support) that I do intend on copying and integrating into the UFAB mod.

Heya Jas!

Just thought i'd pipe in a few things i've seen

1. Action bars when you move them will not stay where you put them even if you lock it

Like I mentioned earlier... locking the frames only made the bars not draggable, it did not change the attachment code which fires off at regular intervals. 0.9 has the code to detect offsets from dragged bars and should resolve your issues.

2. Button pictures completely vanish. i mean is if i drag a spell into a button...its completely invisible...but the tooltip still shows it as being there. Usually happens on the Target one

I've only seen this on the target frame and I'm aware of it and trying to resolve it.

3. /UFAG hideall doesn't work..well it does for like 2 seconds then they are back again

Yes. It's a temporary thing, it's not disabling the code that determines what frames should be shown/hidden which fires when an event comes in (target changes, party member joins/leaves, etc.).

2. Define which bar you can use (or code it with its own buttons like GB did!)

Urlryn

As I've stated many times, the latter is how I plan to proceed.

Any help appreciated, I love this mod.

If you're using the default Blizzard UI, you probably just haven't enabled the ToT frame. Check your Interface Options > Advanced Options > Show Target of Target (Always). Doing this should cause this warning to go away.

Yeah, RL has been busy lately. Dealing with doctors appts and all sorts of fun with that. That and I had to get my main to 60 before BC (which I did, with a few hours to spare).

I have been working on a new version, but GetPoint() still seems to not work correctly with dragged frames in 2.0.5. I have fixed the AGUF code and got it attaching to raid frames correctly but I've got a different issue with not being able to drag spells to those bars... not sure what's up with that right now. That and the target bar issues are the main reasons I haven't released 0.9 yet.

Got more testing and work to do on this, but I haven't forgotten about it. Stay tuned over the next week or two and I'll hopefully be able to push out a version which fixes these core problems.
