PerfectRaid Beta-r77 FAQ
Here's a FAQ I put together, shamelessly copying and pasting from lots of posts ;) Hopefully we can keep it up to date, correct, and helpful.
1/11/07 Edit: Attempting to update for r77. I'm doing this at work (shh don't tell) so let me know what doesn't work or works differently. Thanks. :) ** Please Note: This is a user FAQ of a mod that's still in beta. Some of the workarounds listed were not written by the author, so keep that in mind. ** *** -- How do I bring up the GUI? Type "/praid" or "/perfectraid". -- How do I move the frames? Left-click and drag the health bars. -- How do I lock the frames? You can't yet, but you will be able to in the release version. -- How do I localize? In the Localization.en.us.lua file. Check here for more info: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=7852. -- How do I show mana bars? Look for the following code in PerfectRaid.lua and comment out the "bar:Hide()" line to "-- bar:Hide()" (Thanks Qat) Code:
local bar = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, button.healthbar) Change: Code:
column:SetAttribute("maxColumns", 2) Code:
column:SetAttribute("maxColumns", 1) -- How do I reset Perfectraid to display default buffs/debuffs for my class? Type "/script PerfectRaidDB = {}". -- I’m getting a Dongle error, what do I do? Sounds like a personal problem. Update Clique. -- I can’t see the options on the GUI, what do I do? Update Clique, duh. -- Can I have icons instead of text for buffs and debuffs? No, newbie, lern2Bstreamlined. -- How do I change the scale? You can make changes in PerfectRaid_Hacks.lua: Code:
function Hacks:UpdateScale(val) Code:
local spells = { MAGE = "Remove Lesser Curse", Or an appropriate spell for your class. If you are a healing class, shame on you for not training your healing spells! -- How do I change the look of the health bars? In the file PerfectRaid.lua search for the code Code:
self.headerDefaults = { For bars colored by class change "ColorClass = false" to "ColorClass = true". For bars that don't change color with loss of HP change "ColorSeverity = true" to "ColorSeverity = false". (thanks Nahamnessa) -- How do I sort by class instead of group? 1. Find and unncomment this line in blue : Code:
-- TODO: Make this so we can actually instantiate frames as the users wants Code:
self:CreateRaidFrame("PRHeader1", "Warrior", "WARRIOR", nil, PRHeader1) -- Can I show party frames or focus frame in PerfectRaid? You will in the release. -- Where do I submit requests? http://code.google.com/p/wow-perfectraid/issues/list |
Stickied.. thanks for making this, and feel free to keep it up =)

Yep, probably my fault.

To reverse/inverse the health bars you can edit the default options as per below.
You can also change this and toggle ColorClass and ColorSeverity if you wish to use class colours for health bars as opposed to the severity colours. In the file PerfectRaid.lua search for the code Code:
self.headerDefaults = { Code:
self.headerDefaults = { |
You can edit the options in PerfectRaid.lua, the self.defaults block.

Updated to here. Thanks for the info! :)

How to display by Class and not by Group :
1. Find and unncomment this line in blue : Quote:
2. Add this just below the section above: Quote:

Lol I didn't even notice about the Druids. Thanks for noticing that, I'll update ;)

Should probably just have all nine classes all the time, since all nine will exist in a week.
|
question:
since the "sort by class" function is to be changed in the main .lua file, how can i have "sort by class" on my warrior while keeping "sort by group" on my druid? same account. |
Its a workaround until I implement it. That's now how it will work when this mod is finished.

I think you meant to say "comment the line in blue" .... since this line seems to be creating the headers with name "group 1" ,etc. It is also non-commented in the original version. Also, I haven't had a chance to get in a raid to test this, but won't we ultimately want "for i=1,9 do" since we now have 9 classes to choose from? -Qat |
Has anyone had much luck in using the one column hack with the r77 version?
I've cleared my variables/ uninstalled/ reinstalled but no joy. :f |
You should read the changelog. A double-column sorted by class is currently the default.

Hack or no hack i cannot find a way to get one column to work. Now if the current hack has been disabled that's another point. |
Trying to update. I downloaded last night, which doesn't look like the latest now and wasn't able to raid with it so need some help here. Is one column by class the default now? Are people able to change to 2 columns in the same way?
