Bag Issue

cokedrivers · 05-16-11, 10:07 PM

Hello,
i'm trying to convert the standard bags over to some better looking bags while keeping some of the standard artwork.

Ok here is a screen shot with arrows pointing to my issues i'm coming across:

other then these 2 issues i think I'm just about there.

If someone could give me a hand in coding on this, it would be much appreciated.

one thing i know is that

_G['ContainerFrame'..i.."Name"] is how i can get to the name but being able to set the width of the name and the position is where im getting stuck.

As for the backpack image i think its linked in with the default frame it self which in turn might mean no image.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

The ContainerFrame1 icon is

Code:

 Interface\Icons\INV_Misc_Bag_08

which is the same as for the
Traveler's Backpack.

The bag name is a fontstring with the following settings:

Code:

<FontString name="$parentName" inherits="GameFontHighlight">
	<Size>
		<AbsDimension x="112" y="12"/>
	</Size>
	<Anchors>
		<Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
			<Offset>
				<AbsDimension x="47" y="-10"/>
			</Offset>
		</Anchor>
	</Anchors>
</FontString>

so you just have to delete its position and define it as you like it.

e.g. if you want to move it 10 pixel to the right (in the standard UI):

Code:

for i = 1,5 do
	local parent = _G["ContainerFrame"..i]
	local text = _G["ContainerFrame"..i.."Name"]
	text:ClearAllPoints()
	text:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", parent, "TOPLEFT", "57", "-10")
end

You might just want Bagnon

if you can get ahold of the font string, you can call fontstring:GetStringWidth() and perhaps do math to see where you need to position it.

an easier solution might be to have the font string anchor its left point to the right point of the image, and the right point to the right point of the frame (keeping things aligned so maybe the top right of the frame and do a little offsetting

that way it always auto centers
