[ADDON] nkThings - A unit frame addon

[Zarasi]

Some random ideas that would be nice to see at some point, just thought I'd throw them in here

1. Allow health and mana figures to be truncated when they are too long.
2. Add "max characters" for name labels, such as "Sanctum Guard" becomes "S. Guard" or "Sanctum G..."
3. Show/hide options for planar charges and role icons
4. |planar| and |maxplanar| text codes for labels
5. Over 60 minute buffs become "1h", "2h" for hours
6. Possibility of fine tuning slider bars that have large scales, such as a slider with 500 options on it is hard to get a precise value of say "63" on, it'll either jump betwen 61 and 68 for instance.
7. "By Class" colour option for bar labels
8. Custom textures by unit frame rather than globally set textures from bar defaults
9. Raid frames!

Version 1.2.1 BETA 2 changelog

(ALPHA 1 should have been BETA 1 ... too many beers + updating = no good)

Some unit frames aren't updating properly in this one. Focus target's target frame won't stay disabled when you set a focus target. Also if you have a target a click "Update" in the options you can't select your target and/or tot by clicking the world, have to reloadui to fix.

Naifu is it possible for the frames to build warrior attack points on the player bar as a warrior normally does, currant you have warriors working like rogues and building their attack points on the target.

Would be great if the attack points were clearer as well, like nice obviois dots above the bar or something, that little tiny box with a number in it takes too much of my concentration away from the everything else thats going on

...

I got some ideas for attack / combo points display. There's definitely a change incoming. Also I'll add an option to disable the display for people who for example are using the addon Swords.

Got that error that untargeting does no update target frame when porting. Good to know it can be produced much easier. Probably something small.

About the rest:

1. I had some first prototypes for better lenght management, but they are not ready for release, yet
2. Good suggestion!
3. Is planned for V1.1.3
4. Good suggestion!
5. I was toying with some ideas, but you'r is just so much smarter than what I came up with
6. The slider devides the from-to values by lenght of slider. I'll see if there's some room for optimization
7. good point (and should be as easy as adding that option to the language files)
8. Before I'll add more 'per frame' options I need to redo the config as a whole to gain more space => V1.1.3 or event V1.1.4
9. Raid frames! => Group Frames are planned for V1.2.0, raid frames will be V1.3.0 but no promises regarding timeline.

Focus target of target still seems wonky. I can't seem to disable the frame. And when I try to do so. The focus target frame stays on the screen unless I /reloadui.

I have to ask: Are you 100% positive you're using the latest version V1.1.2 Release? Release is identified by no ALPHA or BETA shown in version number. I just tested and it worked just fine.

If it's not working for you dispite latest version we'll have to figure out what else plays into it.

Gave 1.1.2 a spin through HK tonight, no problems... just some minor stuff, and by minor I mean really minor

1. Opening the config window then click into a label for any bar on any frame, close the window and the config window still has focus so you can't move - have to mash escape a few times.

2. Select a regular target and a focus target, keep the targets and go into the config window. Unlock the frames and relock them, the focus target's target frame won't go away when you relock it until you click on the world.

Like I saw, super minor, 1.1.2 worked great for me otherwise.

I posted on riftui, but will repost here =)

Would it be possible to get some indication as to whether a mob is not tagged to us (Inspect.Unit.Detail().tagged = "other") - maybe change health bar colour to grey?

Good suggestion! I put it on the list of things to do.

I'll no longer check riftui and keep my addons updated there. It's just way to much to check so many sites and ways of getting feedback. You'll only find active feedback from me on this forum and new versions always at curse.

Is the new version of nkAdvisor have working tooltips to compare your equiped item from the current highlighted item? Also tooltip doesnt work to get the weight value from items you arent equipping. Hasnt been working since 1.8 and i got the latest update few days ago off riftui (which i saw u no longer plan to use).

[Pipedreams]

|healthmax| is showing current HP, exactly like |health|.

[Noshei]

any chance we can get the ability to move the buffs/debuffs separately from the target frames.


Also I've noticed an issue with dropping target not properly updating the frames. I will try to get more information and conditions for you.

[Dune]

Any chance that you can lower the padding between buff lines and individual buffs as well ? Or make them configurable (if they already are let me know where to find it please)

NM found the list of tokens
suggestion : add a 3rd tab in the config that contains a list of supported tokens and what they are?

Beyond that looks great so far. - the padding between individual buff lines/debuffs etc is totally messing with me though lol
