    BuffSkin  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 2.3
    by: kraftman [More]

    BuffSkin skins your buffs, simple!

    Updated to 2.2:
    Small GUI change, updated .toc

    Updated to 2.2:
    Included a few more textures

    Added options to select the gloss texture you want, and change its alpha and size.

    Updated to 2.0:

    Buffskin is now split into 2 separate addons: the teeny tiny bit which replaces the blizzard borders on buffs, and the configuration file which allows you to change the textures of these borders, and change the positioning of the border.

    As the configuration file is now load on demand, if you don't open up the configuration, it'll never load! Making the addon even smaller. You can even delete the configuration addon entirely and buffskin will still happily skin your buffs like mad!

    To add your own borders, simply create (or borrow) any .tga file you like, making sure that it is square, and dimensions that are a power of 2 (32, 64, etc)
    Add the image into the BuffSkin/textures folder, and give it a name that hasnt already been used, for example "texture3.tga"

    To change the configuration, type "/bs" or go to interface->Addons,
    select the type of buff you wish to modify (buff/debuff/wepench), and drag the slider or select a different texture.

    Note: This addon does not and will not ever resize or reposition the buffs.

    2.3 Fixed an alignment issue in the options.

    2.0 Complete re write. Made the frequency of skinning much less, improving performance. separated the core and config into different addons.


    1.9: A few minor changes iv'e been meaning to add for a while, bringing the addon up to date with 3.1, and adding better support for Buffed! (Also included Set1 and Set2)

    1.8: Changed the way that the offset slider works to better support round textures, changed the stack count fontstring to overlay properly.

    1.61: Added Support for Buffed!

    1.5: Complete rewrite of most of both files, addition of basic GUI, and a new slash command, "/buffskin config"

    1.33 changed getglobal to _G at request of Mikari

    1.32 commented out a debugging line that was spamming a bit, added gloss and glossalpha as extra commands.

    1.31 fixed a missing statement at line 60 that prevented gloss textures from being un hidden ><

end
    Is missing the end for it's for statement. Great addon by the way.
    nah it wasnt, its just the end for the function was after the next for loop. And thanks

    Love it, and got a dreamlayout texture going for it which was what I enjoyed originally was "Dreambuff", long as you keep this updated I'll definitely keep using it, thank you; and I look forward to using this.

    Also you mentioned adding an option in the future to change the textures, that mean you'll be be rewriting the code so that this original version with one texture would be obsolete or would you have two versions, one with options for textures and one with a singular texture?

    To be honest just swapping in/out which texture one wants to use with this version is just fine with me, but maybe a little too much work for others who want something simple.

    It's simple as it is, and I enjoy the simplicity; just pleased I was able to get a "DreamBuff" look working with it, hope you continue with this, thanks.

    glad you like it
    just brainstorming but i guess i would make it so that if you just dropped one texture in, it would use that for everything, if you dropped seperate buff/debuffs/wepench textures in it would use them all seperatly.
    I'd also liek to keep it as simple as possible.

    And another code change! You are really trying to give me as much work as possible on updating the readme for my extra textures aren't you ?

    Got a question though, look at this piece of code in your Loader.lua, last lines:

    Code:
    SLASH_BuffSkin1 = "/Buffskin";
SLASH_BuffSkin2 = "/buffskin";
    As far as I know, it doesn't matter if you capitalize the slash command or not, or does it?

    Also in loader:

    Code:
    "Interface\\AddOns\\BuffSkin\\Set"..i.."\\Buff.tga"
    It's probably just me being a , but if you want to call that module, shouldn't you be putting a standard Set1 folder in the .rar? So if you're trying to call Buff.tga without including Buff.tga would be a bit hard wouldn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, just asking ! Maybe you want to merge 'Extra Textures', 'BuffSkin Set1', and 'BuffSkin' into 'BuffSkin' itself ?


    That's it for now, will recomment shortly ^^

    About the slash commands: you're completely right, this extra line was just left in from something else i had been trying before, and doesnt need to be there (but shouldnt cause any problems.)

    About the loader: I want to keep the core file as small and un-cluttered as possible, which means including the bare minimum as far as textures are concerned. This means that the user will only have textures in the folder that they have chose to put there.
    That line of code checks to see if the extra texture folders exist, if not then no problem, it just sticks to the default 'texture.tga.'

    About the readme: hopefully you wont need it anymore as long as new texture sets are named SetX and contain the right textures, the user can just drop them into the buffskin folder

    I need to remove the 'buffskin extra textures' file and re pack it as Set2 or 3, just havnt got aroudn to it yet.

    thanks a lot for your feedback and let me knwo if u have any other questions

    Any chance you could use _G[ ] instead of getglobal()? It's faster.

    how bizzare, has anyone else had this problem?
    my pc has just decided to die so i'll try and take a look at that later.
    Edit:
    Try deleting the saved variables fiel for the addon in WTF\Account\(account name)\savedvariables\buffskin.lua, and if that doesnt work, coud you send me a list of any other addons you are using? it may be that one of them is interfering.
    thanks.

    Sorry, this is an addon to skin the default buff frames, not to move them

    to move the frames you would either need to add a few more lines to the addon, hooking the function "BuffButton_UpdateAnchors()" and editing it, or find another addon that can reposition the default frames (such as BuffHUD )
