This time it's a Caith clone

[tknp]

Last Updated - October 04th, 2006


To make it easy for people to notice updates, I've decided to start a new thread for these. They are a clone of unit frames released by Caith for discord. They are a bit quirky in appearance so give um a go if you are so inclined. They are damn sexy though.

[Features]

- Target/ToT/ToTT frame and HP bar color now is representative of the reaction between the player and target
- Broke up feedback into heals and damage, damage shown on the left side of frame, heals on the right
- All the other things you see in the pics
- I made these at a Blizz UI scale of .75, so if they are huge on your screen, scale the UI down in the video options


[To Dos]

- Have the text fade faster, it should be fading after 1 second but that isn't the case [done]
- I'd like to have the HP bar fade to red as the target's health gets closer and closer to 0, so if someone can come up with an equation that does this from a user set rgb value that would help out alot
- Fix ToT/ToTT mana bar color to be representative of class (hoping Tivoli makes this possible so I don't have to keep editing up additional files)

Thanks to Caith for the design, Roath for the font and xuk for his combat text which I learned from to get the damage and health values from.

[Nightfall]

Looks good.Still like your Paradigm better. =)

[Dunce]

These frames > all others nuff said !

[NIhilus]

i just downloaded these and am currently testing them out.

i was however wondering if a few things were possible to do. is it possible to make the brown number on both you and your target the % of the current player's / target's health as oppose to what it currently shows.

lastly i was wondering if i had something wrong with my mods because in all the pics of this mod that i have seen it shows the actual health over total health in the bottom right (dark blue) part of the bar. yet on my targets it shows % over 100.

i guess i just would like to know if those changes are possible, and if anyone knows how to go about making em =) any feedback will be appreciated.

It'll show a % if the person is not in your group or you don't have mobinfo set up while fighting a mob.

tknp:
For the ToT and ToTT on top, I recommend this one:


target = { template = "Nurfed_Unit_mini", properties = { Anchor = { "TOPLEFT", "$parent", "TOPLEFT", -3, 43 } } },
targettarget = { template = "Nurfed_Unit_mini", properties = { Anchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "$parent", "TOPRIGHT", 3, 43 } } },


That's how I use and like it :)

Now i see what's missing (ust in my opinion): A Target of Target's Target. I don't even know why it's missing in Caith's original frames. I think it's very important for healers to know when you have aggro. Would be great if you could add ToTT.

What aertifact said.
And oh my god im terrible at english.

What you mean is, its important to see wich tank got aggro.

[SpecR1]

thx for the unit frames, is there anyway to change the color of the curhp/maxhp on the bottom right of the unit frames without changing the color of the hp bar?

[Shlub]

Any chance of a non Rapidshare download link please?

Really sweet unitframes but can never get that site to work. :(

[Dunce]

rapidshare is fine

Thanks alot:D

[blingeorkl]

adding tott is really easy. go to the target part of your layout, scroll down to where it has buffs and stuff for the target. right above buffs it says "target" blah blah, copy and paste this into a line below and add another target to the front. change the y axis to about -15 and voila tott.

[Blu]

Oh, and i miss another thing. You can't see when you drop combat.

[Gigamo]

Scrolling Combat Text? ;O

[yuckie]

I'd also love to see a ToTT's addition, just about the only thing that's missing from this one, definately my favorite layout so far.

[Artus]

Is there a way to hide the group UI when I am in a raid?

[Blu]

are there raidframes included? because they look like this to me:

[Hav]

Been using them since you released them in the other thread and I think they are awesome as is, however I was wondering how to remove the "damage taken"/"healing taken" on the unitframes, and only putting % on the left and amount of HP on the right? Or just remove them at all?

Would such a thing be possible? :D

[blingeorkl]

open up layout.lua and look at how the stuff is structured.. once you see you can mess around and very easily add ToTT, status (in combat, etc), and change hp % and stuff. I've never coded in my life and in about 5 minutes I was able to edit and modify the frames to my liking. seems like on every thread people are asking for modifications which they can do themselves.

[Artus]

Is there a way to change the health bars to green?

[enoNdo]

i modified them in some way:

[Margus]

can you upload your layout plx plx enoNdo:D

[enoNdo]

Just replace your Files with this ones. i also uploaded Nurfed_utility cause i took the texture from original caith, looks very sweet :>. if you dont like that texture, open your Layout.lua and change all "cp1.tga" to "statusbar8.tga" to get it working.

If you want greend bars use my Nurfed_Units.lua or for blue bars the one from tknp

wow nice mod thx for the upload


will these hide in a raid im looking at the layout and i dont see the line to make them hide

[Enochlol]

I would like to exclude upperline and bottome line from the border, how can i do that.
And i ve been reading the lua and i didn't find the code to display total dammage done, where is it? (in the first lua of course)

[NIhilus]

i liked some of the changes made to this mod. i was wondering if someone could help me out though. i try downloading the file and it sends me to the login page. i log in and it sends me there again once i click "log in". even if i am already logged in it refuses me to let me download (sends me to log in page though im already logged in). if anyone could perhaps help me out and maybe mail it to me if it isnt too much trouble. really wanna check this mod out =)

rustyspoon_00@yahoo.com

[NIhilus]

nvm got it working. tried diff browswer

[tknp]

I've made some changes to the design and I want to release them but I'm just waiting on hearing back from enoNdo cause I incorporated his changes into it.

The real good news is that I made it so the health color is changable in the layout.lua so if you want a different color scheme only layout.lua have to be swapped

[Jaded]

Nvm fixed it :)

small bug w/ pvp status

[2006/09/13 08:33:50-32]: Nurfed_UnitFrames\Lib.lua:390: attempt to call method `SetTexture' (a nil value)

ok tried to integrate it myself and messed it all up, so I ended up with the caith-frames. that exp - bar would be nice in the background of the playerframe.

Ya, that's next on my list. I've been tidying up the lib file a lot recently so it will be easy to integrate into the other layout designs. The update for this is rock solid so far, all that's left to do is hash out the rest of the code for color changing hp bars and frame border color for target depending on the unit's reaction. I'm real real happy with how these have turned out

ie, target is tapped by player
http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/499/caithqn1.jpg

What would rock and speed up my release is some formula to take a provided value for red green and blue and have the values get more red as the unit's health percentage drops. It needs to work equally well for whatever the provided color is, so basically I need a script that fades from color1(r,g,b) to red with the only variable being percent left of hp (0 being dead, 1 being 100% health). I imagine this is easy for someone who knows photoshop but I can't do colors

[Neptune]

So I just happened upon these and I liked them. That lead to the mission of fixing the heal and damage text fading.

You just need to add a couple lines just before the heals and damages AddMessage calls like:

heals:SetFadeDuration(1);
heals:SetTimeVisible(1);
heals:AddMessage(text, r, g, b, 1, 1);

damages:SetFadeDuration(1);
damages:SetTimeVisible(1);
damages:AddMessage(text, r, g, b, 1, 1);

Apparently the duration variable in the AddMessage isn't working as advertised so you have to force the heals frame to fade quicker.

These lines are found in your Nurfed_UnitFrames\lib.lua for those who want to correct this on your own.

yup, I found those commands while searching wowwiki and they are fixed in the next release, untill than, use this

[jfranks0987]

2 things that would make these frames rock even more

1. XP bar/rep bar
2. Anyway to change the health and mana numbers
I'd like the mana to be on the right and the health to be on the left

[tknp]

NEW VERSION RELEASED ON FIRST PAGE!

I did a lot of interior work to the nurfed default scripting. I added in something that should have been in the unit frames from the start; health bar color is now defined just like mana bar color, in layout.lua.

This release is final as long as no serious bugs come up. I've tested it a bunch and it is stable and hasn't caused any errors. Anyways, some new screens of it in action...

very nice release ill have to fined the code to put the targets from the right to the top :D

[Miaxi]

That silver theme is pretty. :)

Great work with those grames.

[Ralrra]

is there a quick 'n dirty way to make the bars fade to red, even if it doesn't fit with the initial color?

[Hogart]

Have you fixed the fading of dmg taken / healing taken being so slow? Now making them only show for 1second?

[shibou]

maybe it's just me, but seems counterintuitive to have names above the hp bar for target and self, then have it below the hp bar for party.

[sparks]

How do I change the color on the border around the frames to black?

[Blu]

This be a hidden push for the author of the unitframes to please please please please make them work for the new version. These are by far my favorite layouts.

[tknp]

sweet jesus a new version of nurfed! once I get home from school I'll start playing around with the new stuff

Here is what I have so far. I haven't been on most of the night due to work so there may be a few kinks left to work out. Should at least get you started if you haven't already.

Edit: The Nurfed_Units.lua is there for a small change I made to the target coloring logic. Before if you targeted an opposite faction player character they didn't have their name changed to red. Just a minor annoyance for me, but this fixes that.

[Lunk]

Hmm can you change the new unitframes bar colors to normal instead of gray? :>


Edit : nvm just fixed it :>

Agreed! I LOVE these unitframes; they're just so much more functional and stylish than the others on offer.

Maybe i've missed something but.. i can't get it to work with the newest version of nurfed, i get some error on line 20
Something i have to do to get it to work?

These haven't been updated yet, and as such aren't compatable with the newest version.

Updating unitframe layouts is a lot more complex than updating the HuD layouts to be compatable, so it's going to take quite some time for people to get around to the various different layouts.

I like Neptune's version a lot...but I didn't like any of the ToT presets :)
So, with my limited (and sucky) skill, I attempted to make my own that I'd like :)
I'm used to the ToT being right of the target frame...easy to spot :)

Something like this...Now I only need to figure out how to recolor the hp% on the ToT frame and make it appear OVER the hp bar...:)
And somehow get rid of the unused space in the ToT frame :)

[jfranks0987]

These frames are awesome. I really want to add an XP/REP bar to them. I have added XP/REP bars to other layouts, but when I add in the code to this one my frames just disappear. Any idea how to fix that?


I know it might look odd with an XP bar, but I have some ideas to make it fit

I really like the Gray-ish version of the unitframes, I posted a screenie, first post on this page... Someone's modified version of the original Caith clone by TKNP... I don't like it too colorful :) Doesn't fit in with the rest of my UI, and the gray looks good with oSkin :)

[Coldfury]

you can manually just recolor hp and mana, easy to do.

[stupidfish]

update pretty please :/

Any chance we will see an update for this?

Loved the Caith UI, and with Discord dead (rip), im desperate of getting it back.
