Bar textures since 3.3.3

[Luzzifus]

Hi,

I have observed some strange behaviour of the bar textures in my layout (oUF_Nivaya) since yesterday when the patch hit live servers. It seems like the textures don't fit the bar width anymore but are being repeated horizontally. So there are texture borders in the middle of the bar, which looks kinda ugly. There are no error messages however.

So does anybody know what has been changed by the patch causing it?

Thanks in advance,
Luzzifus.

**edit: Seems like I need to set the tex width manually cause of this new tiling stuff.. Will try that as soon as I come home.

Depends how the bars are being done, if it's just a standard StatusBar, then call statusbar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false) after you call statusbar:SetStatusBarTexture()

Thank you, works perfectly!

FYI, for what it is worth, i tried this on nameplate health bars (which are StatusBars). did not work (had horrible trouble with tiling/clipping). had to replace nameplate health bars with a frame+texture region (slaved to the health bar via an "OnValueChanged" script), and added a backdrop. hid the original nameplate health bar.

historically, Aloft allows the user to change the nameplate health bar size, placement, texture, and add a border. doing any single one of these things caused problems with nameplate health bars, resembling those people are generically reporting.

You can only call SetHorizTile and SetVertTile once before they "lock" so if you do SetHorizTile(true) the SetHorizTile(false) it'll be stuck with horizontal tiling, this applies to both Textures and StatusBar textures.

I need help on this.

Look at


My statusbar texture is 32x32px in Size

Definition:

    local h = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
    h:SetStatusBarTexture(cfg.texture)
    h:GetStatusBarTexture():SetVertTile(false)
    h:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(true)
    --h:SetAllPoints(self)
    h:SetPoint("TOP",0,0)
    h:SetWidth(100)
    h:SetHeight(32)

That is the statusbar texture:


My problem is the following:
I want the texture to span vertical, but tile horizontal. But I cannot get it done. Where is the error?
