stExperienceBar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.2
by: Safturento [More]

NOTICE: If your updating to 3.0 from a previous version, make sure to delete your current version from your AddOns' folder first.

This is just a simple experience bar addon I wrote, all of the configuration is done through the Config.lua file. There you can change the font, texture, anchor, and size of the bar.

When your not level 80 and your tracking a reputation, it will show the reputation info on the tooltip, and will push the xp bar up 2 pixels to show a reputation bar.

When you right click on the bar, it will open a menu to report reputation/experience information into chat.

That's it, hope you enjoy the addon!

-- v3.2
Renamed global variable "st" to "stExp" to prevent it from conflicting with a variable in Tukui.
Removed Monochrome from the outline when not using my edit of Tukui.

-- v3.1b
re-added stMedia to download.

-- v3.1
Redesigned configuration a little, and added Tukui v13 compatibility.

-- v3.0
Rewrote the entire addon again, and also added a new bar for guild exp and rep.

-- v2.2
Fixed a stupid mistake with text

-- v2.1
Fixed issue with rested exp bar
Code cleanup

-- v2.0
I rewrote the entire addon from scratch. The code is much more organized, and much easier to edit

-- v1.6
Rewrote the report module to be a menu, works with Guild, Raid, Party, and Whisper target

-- v1.5
Updated for patch 4.0.1

-- v1.4
Fixed minor bug with text on bar

-- v1.3
Added reputation bar when not 80

-- v1.2
Fixed issue with rested status bar's background

-- v1.1
Added status bar for rested experience

-- v1.0

Would love to have the text on the bars only visible on mouse over, but I have no knowledge in lua so I wouldn't know how to go about this. Any chance for help? I'll try looking it up a bit more, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

yeah basically if you were using any Tukui edit except for mine, it would break it. I actually sat down and rewrote this entire addon from the ground up tonight, so it's a lot more organized.

Thanks for all your help, the problem is now resolved!
Turns out the zip file I was extracting from was not extracting the .toc file at all for some reason.
Deleted it, re-downloaded and re-installed the add-on and all is fine now (of course).

Note to Self: Add-on's don't like to run without all of their vital information intact , read those pesky extraction errors.
Don't think it was anything to do on your or WowInterface's end, just a bad download on my end. Thanks again for your help!

Code:
--------AnchorPoint, AnchorTo, RelativePoint, xOffset, yOffset
local Anchor = { "TOP", Minimap, "TOP", 0, -25 }
to get it to appear above the minimap instead of below it since my minimap is down at the bottom of my screen.
However even after a fresh install without altering the position of either element (the minimap or the XP bar) it still will not appear.

You might want to try changing the first anchor "TOP" to "BOTTOM" and the y-offset "-25" to "25" so that it looks something like this.

Code:
--------AnchorPoint, AnchorTo, RelativePoint, xOffset, yOffset
local Anchor = {"BOTTOM", Minimap, "TOP", 0, 25}
See if that helps you...looking at the way you have it now the XPBar should actually be behind the Minimap instead of above it. Hopefully this helps.

That's really odd that it doesn't work. I just installed Chinchilla and it anchored perfectly. =\ Have you changed the SetPoint line in the config for the exp bar? If so you might want to do a fresh install of it and see if it fixes it.

Hmm do me a favor, when your in game type /framestack and mouse over your minimap. There should be a list of frames that are under your mouse; what are the frames in that list?

With integrated function to post it in the current Cahnnel, excepting whispers?
Just updated to 4.0

The code for active chat is still commented out since it's broken. It is in the files though if you feel like toying with it. :P

Great AddOn! I love it.

Unfortanely, it doesn't work on 4.0.1 (PTR), i even updated it. Anything i need to do?

Greetz, Fauli
I never got onto the PTR so it's currently broken for the new
patch. Once I get my personal addons setup I'll see about getting my xp bar up and running (hopefully within the week depending on how busy I am)

As for the active channel, I know there's a way to do it, but I don't know the function to get the active channel; with that it would be very easy to do.

edit: I got it working for everything except for whispers. Still figuring that one out. :P
Did you ever get this working? If you don't mind post the bit you got working (minus whispers of course) and I will hack at it.
