Shadowed Unit Frames

Version: v4.4.8

by: Shadowed, Nevcairiel

SUF focuses on a simple configuration while maintaining the flexibility that most users will care about, preventing unnecessary bloating of the addon that sacrifices performance. While you aren't going to be able to set the health bar to be exactly 3.14 pixels outside of the unit frames, you can change options you actually care about such as bar height, ordering, frame height and so on. To speed up configuration, you can configure multiple units at the same time through the global configuration. For example, if you want to set the height of the Player, Target, Focus and Party frames to 50 then the height of Target's Target, Target's Target of Target, Focus Target to 30 you can easily do this by changing two options instead of having to do it seven times.

However, should you need a little bit of extra configuration do not despair! An advanced option is included that will unlock additional configuration giving finer control over the configuration.

Donations
Donations are not required, but are appreciated!

Anchoring
Are you driven crazy by your party frames not aligning up exactly with your player frames, even if it's only half a pixel off? The anchoring system will let you solve all alignment issues, by allowing you to anchor a frame to another and set a simple offset from the frame it is anchored to, or by manually setting the X/Y position of the frame.

Using the screen shot as an example, if you drag the player frame the other frames will move with the player frame preserving the alignment and spacing. Each frame can still be manually positioned wherever you want, but this gives you a way of easily anchoring and moving frames around without having to use a ruler.

Zone configuration (Disabling options/units by zone type)
Units and modules can be enabled or disabled based on the type of zone you are in. For example, if you want to see party targets and party pets while you are in an arena but nowhere else then you can use the visibility options to enable it only while inside an arena. Modules can also be disabled by zone type, if you want to see party auras while in a raid instance but nowhere else you can disable the module in raid instances only.

Profiles do not have to be swapped and it is all automatic.

Units
Supports unit frames are as follows:

Player: Player, Pet, Pet Target
General: Target, Target of Target, Target of Target of Target, Focus, Focus Target
Party: Party, Party Pets, Party Targets, Party ToT
Raid: Raid, Raid Pet, Main Tank, Main Tank Target, Main Assist, Main Assist Target, Boss, Boss Target, Boss ToT, Main Assist ToT, Main Tank ToT
Arena: Arena, Arena Target, Arena Pets, Arena ToT
Battleground: Battleground, Battleground Target, Battleground Target

Features

Tags: Includes a simple tagging system that can be customized in virtually any way using Lua, even if something isn't included by default odds are you can make the tags
Incoming Heals: Supports the Blizzard Events for incoming heal data, no external libraries needed
Auras: Can be set to only show auras you casted, or can cast on others. Can enlarge auras that you casted, and hide the cooldown ring on the timers of auras you didn't cast as well to make it more obvious which ones you casted and which ones you didn't
Aura Timers: You will need a mod such as OmniCC to show timers on buffs and debuffs
Aura Indicators: Display colored squares or icons for certain auras on any unit
Fader: Fades frames when out of combat and inactive (100% mana/no target)
Class Power (Eclipse, Holy Power, etc): Supports all of the class power features from Eclipse to Burning Embers.
Highlighting: Border highlighting of frames based on mousing over them, curable debuffs, aggro or you are targeting/focusing them
Range Checking: Fades frames out that are out of range of you
Exportable Layouts: If you have a layout, or your friend has a layout you want to try out you can export/import SUF layouts by going to /suf -> Layout Manager
Profiles: You can change from any profile to another one without reloading your UI, should you want to use a completely different layout based on zone you can easily switch profiles without hassle

Pretty much all the general unit frame settings are in, health bars, cast bars, power bars, portraits, indicators and so on.

Modules
Basic module support is included, should you be interested in building a module see the documentation on github for more information.

Currently released:

Smoothbars for unit frames
Trinket based tags
Damn Unit Sounds, not technically a SUF module it will restore the Blizzard sounds on targeting, focusing or toggling the PVP flag

I'd rather use Shadowed Unit Frames instead of having to use this and Heal Bot in order to track them in the actual raid/player frames.

Thank you very much. =D So far I like your bars better than X-Perl they seem a lot cleaner to me.

I like having my buffs by the map because they are easier to see and easier to click off. Just some input as to why I prefer original Blizz buff bars.

Addons like XPerl don't actually use less memory, they just cheat and split it off into extra modules. If you either add up all of the modules in XPerl or use a profiling addon like http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nProfiler.html you would end up with either higher, or equal numbers.

thanks for explanation. didnt know that.
and yes i opened the configuration too - its load on demand?

You either need to use a macro with /focus target in it or set a key binding to focus units.

Malath: Nope, you can change the side the portraits located on, but not the facing. DamonDK: Yes and no, you can't get it to mimic Grid exactly in each row being one group (yet), but you can make it grow that way at least. Go to /suf -> Units -> Raid -> Raid, set Frame Growth to Down, and set Column Growth to Right. Mook & Zidomo: How odd, I'm not sure why this is happening but I'm looking into it.

That turned out to be it. I just put a checkmark in the "test" under Misc.Category and that added [()test] to the field text.
When I manually edited it down to [test] it worked fine.

On another note :
Is it possible to have vertical groups in your raid unitframe?

I'm trying to make a 8 x 5 grid like this : G1.1 = Group 1, first member

G1.1 G2.1 G3.1 G4.1 G5.1 G6.1 G7.1 G8.1
G1.2 G2.2 G3.2 G4.2 G5.2 G6.2 G7.2 G8.2

G1.4 G2.4 G3.4 G4.4 G5.4 G6.4 G7.4 G8.4
G1.5 G2.5 G3.5 G4.5 G5.5 G6.5 G7.5 G8.5

Atm I can only make it be like
G1.1 G1.2 G1.3 G1.4 G1.5 G2.1 G2.2 G2.3
G2.4 G2.5 G3.1 G3.2 G3.3 G3.4 G3.5 G4.1
G4.2 G4.3 G4.4 G4.5 G5.1 G5.2 G5.2 G5.3

G7.3 G7.4 G7.5 G8.1 G8.2 G8.3 G8.4 G8.5

Thanks in advance and ty for the quick reply.

I'm afraid I'm still having the same problem too, with Party Target / Party Pet frames sometimes not showing.

Using the latest release (r20091124) - here's a screenie. The Mage Moak, party member #4 - I have him targeted, and can see he's targeting Infinite Adversary (the unit frame just to the right of the center IceHud), but on the actual Party frames his Party Target isn't showing up. This was a 4-man group, they invited me in, I headed out to Culling of Stratholme to join them:

Here's the debug info:
