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!

I've got a feature request for some time later. Not all that important, but I would like to have an option to show the icon of an LDB plugin to the right of all the text stuff rather than to the left.
Keep up the good work <3

Tyvm for a good aim with regards to the titan/fubar situation.

Would love to see a way to make this panel slightly more customizable, esp in regards to opacity and what is displayed.

Downloaded this strictly to get a timer working for Wintergrasp, and end up with a border on my screen and some unwanted buttons. Oh well, tradeoffs...

Cheers though.

Was pointing out the smart sorting you already have in the addon, throwing icons on the right and text displays on the left.

Can't wait for the ability to toggle display of modules.

Same, I just use icon's (for most of my addon's anyway some I have as texted and others I have hidden altogether) and no text as icon's take up less room and look nicer. Also looking forward to the option of a second bar (which I might not need if I can choose icon only display).

so is it accurate to say that Ninjapanel is the only broker display mod that will allow the arrow to show up from TomTom? I tried it w/Fortress, but the area where the arrow should be is just a mess of non-moving dots.

No, as far as I am aware ButtonBin is also providing support for IconCoords and IconR, IconG and IconB.

Well this is maybe the best bar (even if it's under dev) addon. It's extremly lightweight and it's doing it job perfectly.

Can't wait for the features that you're probably working on

Thank you Claidhaire for your Addons !!

Great mod (as all of yours have proven to be).

Definitely ready for a few options, though.

Cool Would be a viable alternative to Titanbar if only it could be at the top and bottom.

Cool Data Broker addon, but as much as I'd like to replace Titanbar, I need something for top AND bottom of my screen. I'll tell you this much - the day, nay the hour you release a version that can do that, I'll junk ageing Titanbar (not so much itself, as it's plugins) faster than you can say "painfully outdated addon" :-)

It isn't. It is not displayed like that for me on any of my characters with any of my plugins. By default the tooltip is sized to fit the contents, as always.

Simple enough to test, disable it (or disable everything except Ninja and the plugin in question). That'll help you track down the issue, and perhaps I can help figure out what the problem is.
