NinjaPanel

Version: v50001-1.0.0

by: Cladhaire [More]

NinjaPanel... so sneaky you'll hardly know it's there

What is NinjaPanel?

NinjaPanel is a simple, easy-to-configure display for LDB data objects. If you're not familiar with LDB, it's a simple standard that addon authors can use to provide information to other addons without needing to write any code specifically for them. This is helping to break the fubar/titan stronghold by providing a standard flexible enough to let any addon display the information.

Okay, so what does it do?

NinjaPanel will display any LDB plugins you have installed. Currently it displays all of them, although options are forthcoming to disable the display for certain plugins. It also can provide you quick access to addon options and other configurations via "launchers", simple icons that sit on the panel. Most addons that provide minimap icons (which we all hate) also provide launchers. All plugins can be dragged around the panel to re-order them, so they're displayed exactly as you'd like them to be.

Where are the options?

There aren't currently many configuration options for this addon other than the ability to enable or disable specific plugins, but I wanted to get a release out to get some feedback from the community. You can expect the following options to be implemented at some point:

Display the panel on the top, bottom, left or right of the screen
Change the height/width of the panel
Customize data objects to hide the icon, text, etc.

So where do I get plugins?

You may be surprised at how many addons already provide some sort of LDB data object, but if you're looking for new ones to try out you can check the category listings at your favorite addon site:

WoWInterface - http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat108.html
WowAce - http://www.wowace.com/projects/?search=Broker

How did you manage to get TomTom Crazy Arrow in the panel

NinjaPanel introduces support for icon colors and coordinates using the following fields in the LDB data object:

iconR - The red component value of the color
iconG - The green component value of the color
iconB - The blue component value of the color
iconCoords - A table containing the texCoords to be set on the icon

I will soon expand iconCoords to support the 8-value version, as well as iconRotate to support arbitrary rotations using the new API.

These features are used in the latest version of TomTom to allow you to display the crazy arrow in NinjaPanel.

Anything else?

Please feed free to leave any suggestions or feedback! I'm interested to see what the community would like to see in a panel addon that I can easily provide.

Thanks for using my addons!

I use the same one. I don't think he's updating on WI. There's an update on Curse today that fixes the "Loading..." text.

So far I have run into two bug's. One is that ZOMGBuffs is not being displayed in NinjaPanel but it is being displayed in fortress (even with fortress disabled) and the second one is Broker QuestHelper I am having difficulty dragging it into new positions (on one toon every time I click and drag it, it moves one spot to the right while on another I could only move it one spot at a time). Edit. ZOMGBuffs is now showing but it only has the icon and Waiting.... next to it. Last edited by BW~Merlin : 12-13-08 at 09:25 PM.

The majority of these issues are people who are not properly following the LDB spec. Lots of other addons jump through a million hoops to be able to display those plugins and I'm not terribly sure I want to get into that busines.. it just tastes bad to me. If you post links to those addons, I will look into it.

Zorklat A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 63 Uploads: 0	Works splendidly for me. I'm getting rid of SBC to use this. It's much smaller, and I don't have to resize blocks for Basicattitude and zBrokerPerformance. That was a giant hassle for me because my KeyTronic Lifetime Mouse doesn't have a wheel, and my wheelmouse has a piece of lint or something in it that keeps me from moving the pointer to the left over 90% of the time. Keep up the good work!

In my opinion, you should out for properly behaved LDB addons. Of course letting the authors know how they can fix their addons is a plus!

On another note, I can't wait to have the time to give this a try, the screen shot is beautiful, and it looks like just what I've been looking for. Thanks for putting in the effort.

If you're getting this it would be an issue with LibJostle, and thus would have similar problems with FuBar. The very first option I put in will be to disable the automatic moving of frames using Jostle.

Those are not error messages, they are telling you that there is a problem with those plugins, specifically that they don't specify their type. This is required by the LDB specification. The next version will continue to warn you once per reload but will attempt to display the plugins as well.
