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!

After that you can add: NinjaPanelTop:SetScale(1.2) and it should work. __________________ "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.

...okay, I have to ask, is that documented anywhere? Because if it is, I have a hat to eat and possibly a shoe to wash it down with.

If it isn't, by golly, it should be!

Edit: I think I might have mistyped. I meant an in-code solution, something I could just tack in after the defined variables and libraries, but I can make this work.

Cladhaire, do you think you could add some configuration options for the bg and border? Opacity and color selection would be great.

While fumbling around in the lua with very little knowledge of the code to personalize my panel was entertaining, I'm sure most people won't take the initiative. =P

Not anytime soon, but I can certainly add it to my list.

The error is with libjostle.

Replace the \Interface\AddOns\NinjaPanel\libs\LibJostle-3.0 directory with contents of the libjostle download at
http://www.wowace.com/addons/libjost.../files/31-r50/

It should fix the errors.

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.
