Tidy Plates Beta  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 6.18.Beta3
by: danltiger [More]

This is a major update to Tidy Plates, and many things have changed.

Having Trouble?

* Quick Fix - Quick Setup:
1. Use '/tp' to reselect your Theme
2. Use '/hub' to check your settings...
...Some settings have been pruned!

Here are some of the bigger changes:

* Hub Revamp / Phase 1
1. Removed theme copies; ie. "Damage" and "Tank"
2. Theme copies have become 'Profiles'
3. Access profiles via: '/tp'
4. You can still use '/hub' to jump to the
appropriate panel
5. Again, some settings have been pruned!

* NEON is the only theme that has been updated in Beta1
* QUATRE will be available in Beta2
* GREY will be available in Beta3

* Numerous Bug Fixes & Improvements
* Numerous Bug "Additions", possibly

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.
Think of this: Changes mean that this addon is being actively developed
and maintained, rather than withering.





I'm not going to bug you by popping up an ad whenever you hit "Download". If you enjoy this addon and want to send a monetary "Thank You", please visit our Pledgie page by clicking on the button, above.

---------------------------
6.18.Beta1
---------------------------
Nameplate-pocalypse!!!!!!!

99% of the previous nameplate system has been replaced by Blizzard for Legion.

Rebuilding has been slow, since I'm (apparently) a grown-up, now. ;-)

BUT, progress is indeed being made!

The internal widgets are disabled, which means the Aura timers are not working. I'm rewriting the entire bloody system because we now have a good way to capture that data without all the trickery that was previously required. (Blizzard does love us!)

Again, progress is being made!

Many things are broken, so I expect that many of you might want to check back with Tidy Plates in a week or so.

Happy questing!

---------------------------
6.16.Beta: Quick Notes
---------------------------
This is a MAJOR update to Tidy Plates, and many things have changed.

Here are some of the bigger changes:

* The Hub has been revamped and some rearranging has been done.
* Quick Fix - Quick Setup:
1. Use '/tp' to reselect your Theme (and Profile)
2. Use '/hub' to check your settings...

* Some settings have been pruned; If there was something important that got
removed, let me know...

* Numerous Bug Fixes & Improvements
* Numerous Bug "Additions"? (Quite possible!)

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause...

Think of this: Changes mean that this addon is being actively developed and
maintained, rather than withering, as many addons do...

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta8
--------------------------------------
* Hub: Threat: Highlight Mobs Tanked by Other Tanks: It was a mess. Rewrote and tested with hunter pet, and it's working well in that condition.
- To do: Reimplement Combat Log melee swing detection, and test in 5-man and Raids

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta7
--------------------------------------
* I haven't been keeping track of changes. Warlords- yay!

Things still needing testing...
* Healer Tracking
* Tank Target-Of-Mob Tracking

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta6
--------------------------------------
* Some fixes, some additions..

Things still needing testing...
* Healer Tracking
* Tank Target-Of-Mob Tracking


--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta5
--------------------------------------
* Lots of things that I didn't write down because I'm busy playing Warlords of Freakin' Draenor woot!
* Fixed some bugs
* Added some new bugs, probably
* Lots of changes to the Hub. Feedback is good. Be polite, please!

* Migrated to new Dropdown Menu and Hub Function system; Your settings will be a bit borked until you go to /hub

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta4:
--------------------------------------
* Themes: Migrated Quatre, Grey, and Graphite to the new system
* Hub/Themes: New function definition process, makes it easier to add themes
* Numerous bug fixes.. Can't remember. Been leveling my druid. Sleep; Need more of.

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta3:
--------------------------------------
* Hub/Aura Widget: Fixed an issue which would prevent your auras from showing up (Previous configuration conflict)

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta3:
--------------------------------------
* Widget/Combo Points: Fixed?

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta2:
--------------------------------------
* Widgets/UnitCache: Fix for mouseover bug
* Class Coloring: Fixed IsInInstance() issue.. maybe?
* Hub: Removed "Default" choice from the Friendly and Enemy Coloring Modes (Yeah, this will make current settings funk-up... but it cleans out that redundant choice)

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta1: Full-ish List of Changes:
--------------------------------------

Core:
* Core/Panel: !! The Bundled themes no longer create a "Damage" and "Tank" copy !!
* Core/Panel: Introduced a new menu set, called Profiles, which will load the appropriate "Damage", "Tank", or "Healer" Hub profile.
* Core/Panel: When the selected theme is invalid, it'll fall-back to the first available theme.
* Core/Panel: Added a Slash Command alias, "/tp" in addition to "/tidyplates"

Bundled Themes:
* Themes: Neon & Quatre now have CastProtected art. About time!
* Neon: New Elite Icon, which looks more like I'd originally intended. (Replaces the old Star)
* Removed "Blizzard Theme"... Sorry guys... There are core things that I want to get done, and fixing/maintaining
that component is not a priority. It will probably return, but don't hold your breath.

Widgets:
* Widgets/UnitCache: Replaced " (*)" with FOREIGN_SERVER_LABEL, which will fix unit-caching on certain server types.
* Widgets/UnitCache: Now using a Scanning Tooltip, which should prevent conflicts with TipTac and other Tooltip mods
* Widgets/Aura: Combat Log Event Handler now skips units which are group members, relying on the general
Unit event handler for their updates.

Hub/General:
* Hub: Colorized 'Friendly' and 'Enemy' description titles, to improve readability.
* Separated Hub functions.lua into discrete category files
* Tweaked some names/descriptions
* Removed Threat Wheel widget from Hub
* Hub: Added a button to the Advanced category; "Clear Cache", which purges the stored Class/Description/Guild data
* Hub/Advanced: "Health Bar Width" (%) Allows you to tweak the relative width of the theme's Health Bar (Experimental)

Hub/Colors:
* Hub/Reaction: New Color, "Tapped Unit"
* Hub/Color Function: Tapped Color will be applied, taking priority over Threat/Etc. functions

Hub/Scale:
* Hub: Scale: Added, Bring Target units to Spotlight Scale, Bring Mouseovers to Spotlight Scale

Hub/Health Bar View:
* Removed several of the Status Text choices; These will reappear in a more advanced "Custom Text" category (Working on it...)
* NOTE: The CUSTOM/ADVANCED Status Text function hasn't been written, yet; Thus, it doesn't do anything at the moment...

Hub/Opacity:
* Hub: Opacity: Enemy & Friendly units now have their own independent Spotlight Modes
* Hub: Opacity: Spotlight Modes; Removal of some redundant and underused modes.
* Hub: Opacity: New Checkbox, "Spotlight Raid Marked"
* Hub: Opacity: Modified Checkbox, "Bring Mouseovers to Target Opacity" to "Spotlight Mouseover"
* Hub: Opacity: Modified Checkbox, "Bring Casting Units to Target Opacity" to "Spotlight Casting Units"

Hub/Aura Widget:
* Hub: Buffs & Debuffs: Replaced "Aura Widget Mode" Dropdown with Checkboxes: "Include My Buffs", and "Include My Debuffs".
* Hub: Buffs & Debuffs: The widget will now use a Smart Mode, where it first evaluates the checkboxes, then evaluates the Aura List.
* Hub: Buffs & Debuffs: Added the "Not" prefix to the aura list; This new mode allows you to blacklist auras from "Show My Debuffs" etc.

Framework:
* Hub: Quick Frame Templates now return the created frame twice (ie. assign two references with a single call, which helps with the Quick Frame setup)
* Fixed some Odd Mouseover Behavior
* Rearranged and removed some old Hub stuff. Cleaning out functions, removing ancient code, removed items of questionable utility

Hey mate, didn't try Ahune with new beta yet (no issues there with beta2), will get to it in few minutes.
I'm missing one thingie tho, or two actually. Not sure if you'll share my feelings but here it goes.
You know when you mouse over the plate it gets highlighted, awesome, but wouldn't it be better to make it highlight when you mouse over either mob/target "body" or the plate, not only the plate?
And the other thing, when you mouse over the plate, name of target changes to yellow colour, wouldn't it be better to leave it that way when you actually click on mob instead of changing back to white then?
Kind regards.

P.S.
Ah... one last thing, think you can squeeze lvl of mob somewhere on neon plates as well? Not much needed, but seems I miss it there sometimes.

P.S1
Checked Ahune, no crashes.

with any luck 3.3.5 will patch it tomorrow. A while back when 3.3.3 was released the dev did post on forums "we discoverd another crash but the fix didn't make it into 3.3.3 before shipping, but it will be in next patch released after"

he wasn't specific, but with any luck it is this crash..

I got bad news, ahune crashes too with tidy plates enabled. although unlike MC which is 100%, ahune is flakey and random but it's defnitely same crash. has a chance to happen when new mobs spawn. but this means your MC work around wouldn't be enough. It also means the crash isn't entirely related to being mind controled, it just means being mind controled is the most sure way to cause it.

so the question is what does being mind controled, and spawning elementals on ahune have in common? and why is MC 100% chance to crash you, and elementals have crashed me maybe 1 in 5 ahune kills..volume of nameplates? 24 nameplates changing all at once when mind controled vs 2 at a time when elementals spawn on ahune?

Haha, sounds like a plan. Well, in the meantime, I'm going to try some things with the beta version.

Edit:
Saiket posted a theoretical workaround, which I'll include with the beta as soon as possible. If it works, I'll probably try to release v5.12 as soon as I'm able, pulling some of the half-done features till 5.13.
Code:
if ( IsMacClient() ) then
	-- Hide nameplates while mind controlled (or feared/on a flightpath)
	local Frame = CreateFrame( "Frame" );
	Frame:SetScript( "OnEvent", function ( self, Event )
		self[ Event ]( self );
	end );
	function Frame:PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST ()
		self.ShowFriends = GetCVar( "nameplateShowFriends" );
		self.ShowEnemies = GetCVar( "nameplateShowEnemies" );
		SetCVar( "nameplateShowFriends", 0 );
		SetCVar( "nameplateShowEnemies", 0 );
	end
	function Frame:PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED ()
		SetCVar( "nameplateShowFriends", self.ShowFriends or 0 );
		SetCVar( "nameplateShowEnemies", self.ShowEnemies or 0 );
	end
	Frame:RegisterEvent( "PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED" );
	Frame:RegisterEvent( "PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST" );
end

Re: @ the Beta

That's crazy enough for me to love that idea... ;-)

I want to revisit Lucky Charms sometime soon; I can't say that your exact feature request would make it, but something similar could happen.

I have been using Tidy Plates for sometime now with the Lucky Charms as my skin. I am currently using the beta. I must say this add-on is amazing and by far my favorite. So far I have had no error's. I would like to echo a post I read for filtering the debuff widgit. Adding the debuffs to begin with made this the only addon I even need as a raiding mage. But just to throw this out there cause I want to dream a little. Lucky charms as the plate and a Living Bomb timer in the middle of the heart that ticks from 10. Lol probably wont happen but a man can dream,,, thanx for the addon, I cant play without it!

Is there an easier method for you to reproduce the crash? I have a test sequence to try, but if it's going to cause a wipe each time, your raid would definitely hate me.

My suspicion is that the Mac client doesn't gracefully handle reparenting some elements of the nameplate. In order to fix that, I'd create new frame elements, rather than reusing the Blizz ones. Not even sure that's the problem, though.

Probably because I didn't reparent the cast bar to the extended frame.

Mmmm just tried beta 4, and cast bars seem to completely ignore nameplate settings / scaling etc.

Haha, you're too kind, Khariv ;-)

Man, I need to do more QC.

However, there are now a couple of other features.

1. I saw this in a prior version (2B I believe) - the name of the spell being cast is showing up in a bubble over the target's head. Any way to configure / turn on / off this feature?

2. In this build, some debug code has escaped - when a mob casts, you get a LOT of numbers scrolled to the chat frame.

Thanks as always for your awesome mod.

Gotcha. Well, I think Kat had the right idea; I'd made a quick addition, and apparently I forgot to turn on my brain when I did it. It was causing a loop, which is probably the cause of your probs. I've uploaded a snapshot of my current version, which should be approved shortly.

Sorry, I misunderstood -thought we were talking 2B as in Beta 2 :P

In any event - Beta 2 works just fine - it's 2B that borks my system.

When the crash happens, the video just goes blank and never returns. THe only way to get out of wow is to X out or alt-f4. Unfortunately, there's no error log produced.
