first of all tyvm zagrei for the help with the lua. my UI looks amazing. I will credit you very graciously with my post of the current ui.

btw what does that code for the stufraid do?

and I am sorry to ask but an what line would I input the code for Acb castbar?

I tried to clean all the code, but i keep getting this

I was just posting to show you can parent to Dominos Buttons instead of the bars themselves. You'd have to adapt the parenting to whatever you are using.
For litepanels, you can literall drop that entire snippet of code into a layout you currently use and it will work for the pet bar, assuming you adjust the padding.

Thank you!

THe code styles StufRaid in the same style as the normal UFs

Input this code around line 301 in the acb_Castbar\core.lua:

Code:

local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
bg:SetBackdrop({
	bgFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
	edgeFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
	edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, 1, -1)

Make sure the opacities for both ACB and Stuf Raid are set correctly. As in, the backdrops are 0% opacity and hte bar is 100%, or visa versa. Lemme know if that helps

Make sure you aren't putting it in the AzCastBar\core.lua. It has to go into the acb_CastBar\core.lua. Biiig difference :P

this is the lua in acb_castbat/core.lua

self.safezone:Hide();
end
end
local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
bg:SetBackdrop({
bgFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
edgeFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga',
edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, 1, -1)

-- Initialise Each Bar
local bars = { "Player", "Target", "Focus", "Pet" };
local lastBar;
for _, token in ipairs(bars) do
local bar = AzCastBar.CreateMainBar("Frame",token,extraOptions);
bar.unit = token:lower();

whats wrong with it?
because I cant even configure it atm.

Zagrei · 11-16-10, 10:07 PM

Honestly, I don't know why your line numbers are different than mine, maybe different versions. The code should look like this instead:

Code:

-- Initialise Each Bar
local bars = { "Player", "Target", "Focus", "Pet" };
local lastBar;
for _, token in ipairs(bars) do
	local bar = AzCastBar.CreateMainBar("Frame",token,extraOptions);
	bar.unit = token:lower();
	
        local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, bar)
	bg:SetBackdrop({
			bgFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeSize = 1,
		})
	bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
	bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
	bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
	bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, -1, 1)
	bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, 1, -1)
	
	-- Anchor
	bar:ClearAllPoints();
	if (lastBar) then
		bar:SetPoint("TOP",lastBar,"BOTTOM",0,-8);

The reason why your previous placement wasn't working was because 'bar' had not been created yet, and so when the code was asked to run it, it had no clue what 'bar' meant. It then aborted the script, and then your addon wasn't working. Ta-daa!

EDIT: Also, I was using 'Interface\\AddOns\\TinyDPS\\Textures\\blank.tga' for my blank texture, instead of the universal one 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground'. That sure didn't help the problem :P

tyvm.

Oraknathal · 11-17-10, 12:19 AM

although im still having problems with stuf i wont load the raid frames anymore. ive set the backrop to 0% and bar 100%

this is in stuf_raid/raid.

local function UpdateAttribute(this, name, value)
if name ~= "unit" then return end
if value then
units[value] = this
this.unit = value
UpdateUnit(value, this)
else
for u, uf in pairs(units) do
if uf == this then
units[u] = nil
end
endlocal bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, uf)
bg:SetBackdrop({
bgFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
edgeSize = 1,
})
bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", uf, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", uf, 1, -1)
end
end.

Hej Zag, I got the raidframes working but I have a tiny problem. It seems the out of range fading etc doesn't work anymore. But I neeeeeeedz it.

bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", uf, -1, 1)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", uf, 1, -1)
end
end.

First of all, the red line should be two lines, like:

Code:

end

local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, uf)

Second of all, the code is in the wrong place. Probably different versions, again, but it should look like this:

Code:

	core.CreateIcon(uf, layout, "looticon", "Interface\\GroupFrame\\UI-Group-MasterLooter")
	core.CreateIcon(uf, layout, "leadericon", "Interface\\GroupFrame\\UI-Group-LeaderIcon")
	core.CreateIcon(uf, layout, "voiceicon", "Interface\\Common\\VoiceChat-Speaker")
	core.CreateIcon(uf, layout, "combaticon", "Interface\\CharacterFrame\\UI-StateIcon")

		local bg = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, uf)
		bg:SetBackdrop({
			bgFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeFile = 'Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameBackground',
			edgeSize = 1,
		})
		bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)
		bg:SetBackdropBorderColor(0, 0, 0)
		bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
		bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", uf, -1, 1)
		bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", uf, 1, -1)

	if uf.unit then
		units[uf.unit] = uf
	end
end

It may be because you are hard-setting the alpha with that backdrop command. Try changing this line

Code:

bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, .4)

to this

Code:

bg:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1)

and then find a way to make the opacity look the same through the StufRaid options panel. I personally don't use range fading, which is why I didn't notice :P

Nope if I do this I just end up with black boxes.

Hmm... I'm not sure, really. I could fiddle around with it later tonight (it's morning now), but I have alot going on today. I'll let you know if I think of anything, though! Hope we can figure it out

Led ++ · 11-17-10, 08:13 AM

Also it seems that in stufraid, the healthbar and powerbars don't get the automatic 1 px border. The frame does, but the healthbar and powerbar doesn't. While in normal Stuf they do.

That is because StufRaid handles the UF creation in a different way than Stuf UFs. The only way I found to style StufRaid was to style the frame, and not the individual bars, as that just didn't work at all xD Kinda sucks, though =/ I'll fiddle with it some more later, I might figure something else out
