Need help with updating cursor addon

crash822 · 10-17-10, 05:18 PM

Latest patch broke my cursor addon which hasn't been updated in a very very long time. The addon places a rotating graphic around my cursor that makes it easier to find. The graphic will vanish when the mouse is idle for a few seconds and then reaper whenever the mouse is moved. Colors of the graphic will change as well when mousing over a target, green for friendly and red for harmful.

Currently the current problem with the addon is that the graphic will no longer follow the cursor.

If anyone can update the addon or give me help on updating it to work with patch 4 it'd be much appreciated. I cannot find the original link for the addon but I'm willing to email it to anyone if they send me a PM.

Here is a pic of the addon. I know it isn't very good and the WoW cursor graphic isn't visible. Normally the wow cursor would be in the middle of the circle.

Thanks for anyhelp.

What is the name of the addon?

You could also copy-paste the addon's code to a website like pastebin.com.

The addon is called cursor glow. I found the attach button for the file.
Cursorglow.lua
Cursorglow.toc
Cursorglow.xml

That a simple replace "this" and "arg#" references, I was looking into completely updating the code for efficiency, a lot of it is outdated and unnecessary.

Example, the texcoord calculations are no longer needed due to the new SetRotation method of textures.

Go for it

I was just giving him something functional. If he wants to upgrade to your version when you get it done, then by all means

Here's the updated code that works more efficiently. The UI objects are created and managed in one Lua file. The rotation speed, fade delay, and fade duration can be adjusted in the settings section.

Hi,

I quit the game for a year and just got back in again. I loved this addon, but I can't find it again.

The only link I found of the original addon location points to a dead host page and I do not know what to do with the files that I downloaded on this page.

When I try to unzip some of the files that I downloaded on this page, it just gives me a single file with no extension, so I am not sure what to do with it.

Crash822, do you have a copy of this addon that you can link somewhere please?

The files in SDPhantoms download right above your post don't work?

dnacyan · 05-12-11, 09:13 AM

I can download the file from SDPhantom, but I cannot extract it using Windows Zip. When I try to extract with 7-zip, it just gave me a file with no extension.

It is not like regular addon where is unzips into a Folder with stuff in it, so I am not sure what to do with that file.

Unzips perfectly for me, both with the default Windows unzip, and 7zip.

dnacyan · 05-12-11, 10:11 AM

Really? I've downloaded it like 3-4 times into different folders and everytime I try to unzip using default windows unzip, i get the following message:

"Windows cannot open the folder. The compressed (zipped) Folder 'C:\path\CursorGlow.zip' is invalid."

And then when I try 7-zip, I just get a single file with no extension.

Anyone have any ideas?
