[ADDON] nkThings - A unit frame addon

[Naifu]

This is the final upate before Rift Patch 1.9 unless some big issue will show up. I think the addon is now quite nice and I'm very happy with the current state. In this version I have invested into improving the performance. The result looks quite good. CPU usage was around 4% at invasion endboss with a full ready, player + player target + player target target active and tons of people around ( 7 FPS though ).

Apart from the performance improvments there are a number of nice features and of course bug fixes in this release. So make sure you grab it asap.

V2.0.3 changelog


new: added new config option per frame to enable / disable interactivness (click to target and mouseover target)

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Any chance to extend the functionality to mouseoverui please?

[Grixal]

With the different target frames:

If you set the combat and non-combat opacity to 100%, and then mouse-over a(the) buffs, the frame opacity displays at what looks like the 20% opacity , even though it still shows 100%

This is with 2.04

Sorry but I didn't understand what you mean by this. If you disable the interactiveness the black frames should no longer show up. Both the targeting and the mouseovertargte functionality need the 'black frames'.

Could you please send me your savedvariables file as I cannot reproduce this behaviour myself. Please send it to nkaddons@gmail.com

Other than mouseover, there is also mouseoverui macro command. This has nothing to do with 'black frames'.

You've already made mouseover macro's work on your frames, I'm asking you make them work for mouseoverui command as well.

Also, I'm having problems moving the frames in 2.0.4. - none of the frames are movable when Unitframes locked checkbox is disabled.

EDIT: I discovered what the problem with moving was. Unit frame must be tagged as 'custom' otherwise you can't move it at all. Intended or bug?

I believe that there is a limitation in the API and that mouseoverui can't be used with addon frames. Therefore the work around are these black boxes and use of mouseover... though I'm no expert.

Love the addon, few things i would love to have:

Portrait of targets. Easier for me to recognise some players / NPC's cause of it. Also Color graph per bar instead of certain yellow, blue, black and default.

Dno if you want to have portrait, but please consider having a option to turn it on

Portraits is not possible currently with the API.

More coloring options will be available at some point of course.

2.0.5. doesn't even show on addons list.

2.0.5. doesn't even show on addons list.

I haven't loaded the game, but if patch 1.9 is not live, then that's why you aren't seeing the addon yet. Revert to previous version, or wait for Rift 1.9

2.0.5. doesn't even show on addons list.

EDIT: Somehow a lib got lost on the way to the two SVN sites. I have uploaded V2.0.6 which is complete.
