NinjaPanel  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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: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!

update for MoP?

I am certain I'm not the only one of your rabid fans hoping and praying that I won't have to switch to StatBlocks, the next leanest LDB display, which is much more annoying to set up and configure (to imitate NinjaPanel, natch!)

I believe that's because they specify that they are data feeds but don't actually set their text. I'll try to take a look at it, but won't be here for two weeks starting this week.

Lovely addon, switched to it from FuBar and have now managed to move to all native LDB addons

I ran into two hoops, it's two addons that are not very useful to me anyway, but I just wanted to let you know, they display "Waiting..." after their icon indefinitely...



The addon the the right is "Broker_Skills"
The addon in the middle is "Broker_Exit"

An alternative addon like Ara Broker Tradeskills could be used to replace the former, however here I think the addon itself would need an update since it likes to always display the text "Professions" (I'm a bit of a minimalist and like to have these addons only showing an icon, no text...)

I'm not really sure what you're saying... Did you fix it? I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me!

Hi there, Cladhaire.

Still been whacking away Ninjapanel's code for the past... what, month now?

Yes, I know I said I was just going to MoveAnything the problem away, but let's face it, why use another addon to fix unexpected behaviour in an addon when you can just fix the code? That way lies madness.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

seems with AddonLoader enabled, anything that is set to load delayed is not loading unless forced to. with AddonLoader disabled everything loads properly.

i'll go post in the proper comments section thanks for the help

There's no real setting for anything like that. This could happen for a single session if you have AddonLoader installed and then you disable it. But it shouldn't happen other tan that.

Let me know if you can come up with any other information.

i noticed some odd behavior lately w/ ninjapanel, it is enabled but isn't loading until i force it to load w/ an addon manager. did a setting get changed to make it load on demand or is that just a quirk of my computer?

Very weird! I suspect setting the height of that frame is more appropriate then. I'm not sure how LibJostle (which is what is moving the other frames) handles scaled frames.

Curiously, no similar problem occurs when you move Ninjapanel to the bottom.

Next to experiment on: Defining a framesize, rather than just scaling.

EDIT: Dinking around with the code some more, disabling everything else? Everything starts at the normal position upon first loading into the game, or after a /reload. Then, about a half-second later, the minimap jumps down 1/4 of the way.

EDIT2: The amount everything is shifted down by is directly proportional to whatever value is set in "NinjaPanelTop:SetScale(1.0)" Entering in a value less than 1.0 causes the minimap to snap back up to the top of the screen.

It is, honest. Although, well, 1/3 might be a bit overstating it. More like 1/4 of the way down.




I mean, nothing that can't be taken care of with the zealous use of MoveBlizzard.

(Yes, I know my UI sucks. I'm still waiting on some addons to update/get fixed for 4.0.1. ;_; )
