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)
-Implemented an anti-spam measure to help mitigate Blizzard's throttle bug of the YELL channel
-TextStatusBar_UpdateTextString() code moved to a secure hook to mitigate Blizzard taint bug

2.14 (2019-12-10)
-The YELL addon channel has been added to the list of broadcast channels
-Some internal functions are now metatable-aware (opens possibilities for future features?)

2.13 (2019-09-25)
-Removed lingering debug message that was hiding in the aura scanner

2.12 (2019-09-23)
-Now detects health from a Hunter's Beast Lore

2.6 (2019-09-08)

2.5 (2019-09-06)
-GameTooltip health text is now offloaded to the same on-use generation code that TargetFrame uses

-Fixed TargetFrame text not checking options on creation
-Added health text to the GameTooltip's StatusBar

It's a similar patch, but since Pearl doesn't store local references, we need to make the functions local.

Code:

local function UnitHealth(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur; end
local function UnitHealthMax(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max; end

Put this at the top of every one of these files.

Code:

Perl_CombatDisplay\Perl_CombatDisplay.lua
Perl_Focus\Perl_Focus.lua
Perl_Party\Perl_Party.lua
Perl_Party_Pet\Perl_Party_Pet.lua
Perl_Party_Target\Perl_Party_Target.lua
Perl_Player\Perl_Player.lua
Perl_Player_Pet\Perl_Player_Pet.lua
Perl_Target\Perl_Target.lua
Perl_Target_Target\Perl_Target_Target.lua

Seems to be working, thanks for the help!

I have added those modification like you said, but unit frames displayed ElvUI tags strings (like this "[healthcolor][health:current-percent]") instead of values.

The load order was messing the patch up, here's the fixed version.

Code:

function UnitHealth(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return cur; end
function UnitHealthMax(unit) local cur,max=RealMobHealth.GetUnitHealth(unit); return max; end

Yo this makes the target unitframe sometimes not load.. Seems it loads if i restart the client, but if i /reloadui it doesent load anymore and requires a restart.
Do i paste it as is or?

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).

I dug around in their code and in ElvUI/Modules/UnitFrame/Tags.lua, around line 70, you'll find a comment header named Tags. Insert this right under it.

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

Thank you. Didn't realise there was a RealMobHealth category under AddOns tab.

It's a bug with your sandbox. It doesn't provide a server name and throws nil.
In short, this works fine on the official game servers/client.

Great, that's what I suspected. Thanks for the reply!

In UITweaks.lua line 169, there should be a line like this.

Code:

health:SetFont("Fonts\\ArialN.ttf",10,"THICKOUTLINE");

Feel free to change that around as you wish. See FontString:SetFont() for reference.

Oh thanks a lot. I figured out how to make it look exactly as i wanted.
