Sword Art Online unit frames

Hello!

I don't know if any of you have seen the anime called Sword Art Online, but it's pretty neat, and I really like the style of the game's UI.

So I was wondering if Sword Art Online like unit frames exist, or could be made through another addon like pitbull?

For those of you who don't know what they look like, click here.

Any similarly modern-looking UI addons would also be very much appreciated.

That is certainly possible, though you would need the textures for it (or recreate them).

This is not the same style, but have you seen oUF_Real? http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-oUF_Real.html

Sweet!

Well, I downloaded a skin for another game called osu! which included some textures, like the hp-bar background. It also includes the green of the hp-bar, but I would like it to progressively change color from green to red, and I have no idea how I'd do that.
I have no experience in any of this stuff though.

And that addon is really neat! I'm using it right now!

If you are using a unit frame addon, look for color context setting based on health for your health bar(s).

But what if I want the hp-bar to be formed the way it is on the picture? Like it's not a square.

Bars don't have to be squares, most (if not all) unit frame addons will let you choose which texture to use for status bars.

Looks very promising thus far!

Maybe a dumb question, but are you going to have it so the names are abbreviated?

looks nice ingame
bit of feedback (mostly taste or matter of preferance though I guess):
-I feel its a bit too big, especially when its in the middle of the screen.
-Either always show the "Lv:" prefix or don't show it at all, but just from the looks of it there should be enough room there untill the level rises into the 3 digit territory
-I know its just a demo sofar but i think the target frame should be mirrored on the vertical axis, though I don't think they ever really showed target unitframes in the anime (all they ever showed was player and party frames and a rounded frame at other units, probably comparable to WoW's nameplates) so it'll ultimatly be up to the developers...

looking forward to more

abbrieviating names might be a good idea and probably should go on the todo list for when the basic unitframe functions are realised

They will be abbreviated but I hate it when there are names with ... at the end. WoW allows max. 12 letters for players and you can't take the 3 same letters consecutively so longest name woud be "Mwmwmwmwmwmw" so I thought about making the space for the name the unitframe in this length.
I'm still not very happy with it since it will look odd if your name is realy short or realy long.
Also tryed to use rounded combopoints (Just have made the 4x Combopints yet to test them out).
This is the new one

and this was the old one


What combopoints do you like better?

You can get names longer than that by abusing Æ and æ.

Hey those look really nice, made an account to post here.

I was wondering if it was possible for you to drop a download link so I can use them even in it's current stages? I really love SAO and would like to try them out currently

THESE ARE SOO AWESOME! I'm a really big fan of Sword Art Online and when I found this while googling I just had to sign up for this site! Super stoked for you guys and thank you for making a project for this kind of UI. And if at all possible dropping a download link for us while still in development like Uppermost said would be fantastic! Anyway, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
