NinjaPanel

Version: v1.2.0-release

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!

The drag/drop should make a bit more sense and it may behave better with plugins that don't properly declare the type attribute. You can also disable plugins via code: Code: /run NinjaPanel.db.plugins["PluginName"].disabled = true There is also a nice framework for changing the size/visual aspects of the panels I just need to get it all hooked in. Also, you could alter your copy to have a bottom bar instead of a top bar by commenting out line 21 in NinjaPanel.lua and uncommenting line 22 so it looks like this: Code: --NinjaPanel:SpawnPanel("NinjaPanelTop", "TOP") NinjaPanel:SpawnPanel("NinjaPanelBottom", "BOTTOM") You CAN spawn a top and a bottom bar, but you can't drag anything to the second bar. As a matter of fact I'm not sure what will happen if you get stuff on the second bar and then disable it. I'll need to play with that =). More stuff is coming just slowly but surely. Multiple bars on top/bottom/left/right once I get the time to get it coded. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

The mouse pointer disappears. Of course, it could be an issue with 3.0.8...

Dunno, no idea why that would happen and don't have access to 3.0.8 until tomorrow at the earliest.

There is no center. To move a plugin to the right, drag it to the right-hand side of the bar. If it's within 100px or so of the edge, it should snap there. If not, that would be a bug.

I played with it a bit, and there's not even a complex series of commands I can give you at the moment. I'll do my best to get it completed.

The author of Repair Broker has been working on making it work with Ninja Panel and several other LDB displays and has made great progress (although it does through out a few error's it actually works) so try updating to the latest release now if you haven't done so already.

You can change this line:

Code:

	button.text = button:CreateFontString(nil, "BACKGROUND", "GameFontHighlightSmall")

To use another font template, or set it to use a custom font object.

Would it be possible to implement a "center" as that's the most important area for my needs.

I'll second this, being able to put objects in the center of the bar would be outstanding.

Great mod, thanks for making it Cladhaire.

Gupux A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	The bar seems to be missing a row of pixels on left side and the top on 1680x1050 resolution. Atleast that's how it is for me. Not sure if that's intended but judging from the screenshots I've seen it should "fill" the top of the screen completely.

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
