Real Mob Health

Version: 2.18

by: SDPhantom [More]

Notice:
On February 18th, 2020, Blizzard released a hotfix that enables mob health to be displayed in the Default UI.
RealMobHealth has run its course and is now obsolete. I thank everyone for their support during the lifetime of this addon.

For existing users running the Default UI, here's a list of addons that'll provide an alternative to the UITweaks module.

2.18 (2020-01-11)
-Modified death detection to hold onto data a little longer to prevent mobs with reincarnation mechanics from spamming messages
-Internal timers now use C_Timer instead of OnUpdate to try to combat "No player named <Player> is currently playing." spam after being minimized

2.17 (2019-12-13)
-Added usage of INSTANCE_CHAT as a fallback for BATTLEGROUND. (Reports are saying BATTLEGROUND is defunct)

2.16 (2019-12-12)
-Added usage of BATTLEGROUND addon channel
-RAID/PARTY addon channels now check specifically for the home group category instead of all

2.15 (2019-12-11)

I'm seeing a lot of level 63 entries along with a few 61 and 62. Raid bosses have their level omitted from the CreatureKey since the client never receives them and the other entries lead me to believe these are difficulty-adjusted levels instead of the base ones given by the client. This uncertainty renders the list unusable. Sorry.

Level ?? will still show 100. So bosses, even if they are in the list will not be shown. You can filter out those ones if you'd like to use the list. Source is CMaNGOS Classic DB. I did some tests in the starting zones + Duskwood and that data seems to be correct.

Re: Re: Data

Here's a sample OverrideData.lua file with all the preloaded values. All entries greater than level 60 are marked as raid bosses and should be picked up by the addon.

The addon doesn't support seeding data, these literally override anything the addon does and presents these as the real values.

I've been struggling for a long time trying to make the two work. It works with improvedunitframes disabled, but with it enabled it goes back to 100/100 for recorded mobs. Alternatively is there some way I can contact you on discord or something?

I'm guessing you mean UnitFramesImproved? Looking at their code, there's a few major problems ranging from incorrect events being registered to performance degradation over time due to indefinite hook-stacking.

Back to the topic at hand. I have a few ideas, but I need time to test out my options.

I don't have a personal server nor am I part of one that's open to the public. I check this site somewhat frequently so here is the best place to contact me for the time being.

I just finished updating the hook in UITweaks to use a different function that's improving compatibility. I'll be posting it soon™.

Or if i'm running through a high level zone and seeing a level ?? "Shadowmaw Panther" npc 684 that got data for ["684-37"] = 1536, ["684-38"] = 1604, could it default to to highest level data for that known unit?

Raid bosses should already be done, though I can't test it currently. Read the comment in OverrideData.lua about how CreatureKeys are made.

High level zones will incur a performance penalty since I'll have to scan multiple tables that can get rather large. Even caching these will take a lot of time on load to build.

I didn't include specific support for other UIs, so it's up to how they work with the TargetFrame. This is made as a library with minimal code to hook into the default UI if anyone (like me) runs with just that.

Did anyone manage to get this working? I got basically all my addons the way I want barring some that needs stability/error updates, but unfortunately it just defaults to 100 hp for everything with ElvUI. I think I only have until 9 AM on Monday to try and get it working before stress test ends.

What version were you running? 2.1 had a stack overflow in the TargetFrame code that I put out a fix for already. Otherwise, it seemed to be working fine when I ran the current version (now 2.3).

Code:

local OLD_UnitHealth,OLD_UnitHealthMax=UnitHealth,UnitHealthMax;
function UnitHealth(unit)
	if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealth(unit); end
	local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur;
end
function UnitHealthMax(unit)
	if not RealMobHealth then return OLD_UnitHealthMax(unit); end
	local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max;
end

This will replace the local references of these functions in that file with a function that pulls values from RealMobHealth.

Edit: Fixed load order issue
Edit2: Fixed another load order issue

Xenomorph2004 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Code: local RMH_GetUnitHealth=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth; function UnitHealth(unit) local cur,max=RMH_GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur; end function UnitHealthMax(unit) local cur,max=RMH_GetUnitHealth(unit); return max; end This is genuinely amazing work. I tried myself to go through the ElvUI code to see how they had it, but didn't even consider changing the values via the Tags file. Stupid me. Do you know, if it would be possible to do something similar to the Tags.lua File in the *ElvUI/Modules/Nameplates/* folder? So that the nameplates also draw the correct info from Real Mob Health. I had a look, but that Tags.lua doesn't have a TAGS section included within it. Would be amazing if you had any quick ideas I could try? Thanks again for your amazing work. A life saver! EDIT: Would the same code as you posted before work possibly after the line --GLOBALS: Hex ? Last edited by Xenomorph2004 : 08-14-19 at 05:53 AM.
