Adapt - Almost-Default Animated Portraits

Version: 2.4.13

by: Gello [More]

This small addon animates the static portraits of (nearly) any UI.

When the UI goes to draw a static portrait, this addon instead draws an animated model to the dimensions of the intended portrait.

Adapt is meant to be configuration-free (especially if you use the default unit frames), but there are some options you can change in the Interface Options Panel.

__ FAQ __

Q: Will it work with my custom unit frames?
A: If your existing unit frames are static portraits and not models already, yes it should. The universal approach this addon takes will attempt to convert any 2d portrait texture into a 3d model (if it's bigger than 30 pixels). However, if Adapt already came with the unit frame addon or UI compilation you use, you may need to get an updated version of that addon/compilation if it made any tweaks to portraits/Adapt.

Q: It's not working or there's a bug.
A: I'd love to hear about it in the comments. Please mention what Unit Frame addon or UI compilation you use.

Q: I use circular unit frames (like default), but when I look closely the model cut off as a square! Can the model be fit into a true circle?
A: Sadly, it can't. Addons have no genuine way to mask models. For circular unit frames the model is shrunk to fit within the circle.

Q: What's an "anonymous portrait"?
A: When this addon was first written in 2006, practically everyone named all their textures(portraits). Nowadays it's more common for textures to go unnamed as a courtesy to the UI ecosystem. For anonymous portraits you can only turn them all on or off, unlike named portraits which you can selectively disable.

Q: I want to disable my default focus frame from animating, but I don't see it in the options list.
A: The list in options is only of portraits it's encountered in that session (and those already disabled). Adapt has no awareness of what frames it will be asked to draw until it encounters them. So in this case you can /focus yourself and then when you go back into options the focus frame should be listed so you can disable it.

Sounds complicated!

Guess I'll keep looking

Found some addon that replaces player's portrait with a custom image.

Not sure if it's still working.

Yes and no.

If you open Adapt.lua and find this bit of code (can ctrl+F for SetCamera and it's the second instance of SetCamera in the file):

Code:

function adapt.SetCamera(texture)
  local zoom = AdaptSettings.Zoom==3 and 0.33 or AdaptSettings.Zoom==2 and 0.75 or 1
  adapt.portraits[texture].modelLayer:SetPortraitZoom(zoom)
end

and change the "or 1" to "or 1.2" it will zoom the camera in a bit more, but it also rotates the character to the model's left a bit.

This has two effects:
1) Since models can't be properly masked into circles, the "squared edges" problem becomes more pronounced. The circular overlay mask softens the corners a bit, but it looks imperfect.
2) NPC models seem to have a different "scale" for this zoom-rotation, so you're looking at the back of the heads for some targets.

There are alternatives:
- The old SetCamera that this addon used to use is an option, but it had issues like worgen and others showing as full model instead of a typical head profile.
- A custom camera to set a position closer, but this would probably require a database of coordinates for different models. This addon is super tiny (<50k) and any such database of absolutely off the table.
- Use the 1.2 SetPortraitZoom and rotate the model a little to the right. If it's a player character model it can rotate a little, and for non-player character models it can rotate even more.

Gello, blizzard developers have been ignoring the portrait bug since WoD release, so I'm asking you: is it possible to add an option to move, zoom in/out and rotate character's model in the player frame to set a custom static (or even animated) player portrait? I was hoping your addon would help me fix those ugly shrunken character portraits Blizz released with WoD expansion. My thread on the official forum: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/17288990190 But.. it turned out that Adapt's animated portrait looks even tinier than the default one Honestly I don't really like animated portraits. They can be really distracting! __________________ My last movie: Rogue Sweethearts Last edited by Deadlyz : 03-02-16 at 12:27 AM.

Gello A Molten Giant Forum posts: 521 File comments: 582 Uploads: 75	Just a heads up for the update posted tonight (2.1.0 on January 21, 2016): If you find your options seem to have reset, go back into options and set them back. There are a couple new options there too. (I try very hard not to reset options on users; but this addon has been around for over 9 years so it's due for a little savedvar cleanup. ) Also this update removes a file and adds two files. You will need to do the update while exited out of the game. If you do an update while logged in, it will error. Just exit the game and log back in to fix everything.

Nice find, thanks!

You're exactly right with the nil/false. It builds a cache from the blacklist

Code:

for texture in pairs(AdaptSettings.Blacklist) do
  if _G[texture] then
    adapt.Blackcache[_G[texture]] = 1
  end
end

So PlayerPortrait=false will add PlayerPortrait to the Blackcache.

The culprit is GetChecked() will return false now instead of nil. This is easy enough to fix. Thanks again!

If so is it just for one character or all? I'll have an update today to turn off the animation of that achievement compare portrait. edit: figured out how to get back there. Sorry didn't reply earlier. I'll have a fix for the achievement comparison. Probably just disable the model--the way this addon works passively it makes no judgement on the unit it's about to draw. It just passes the unit along. When I get time I'll see if I can experiment with why it's getting the wrong unit. Last edited by Gello : 10-29-14 at 08:57 AM.

10leej A Molten Giant Forum posts: 583 File comments: 438 Uploads: 22	Just a quick plugin here (a month late) Gello, BobUI no longer uses adapt as the unitframes are now oUF based as of version 6.0 The older files are still available for download however the unitframes.lua file is required as my custom textures I used the the unitframes don't match the default layout. If peopl are going to use my textures I suggest using BobUI v5.4.1 as that was the last interation of the texture were I fixed a lot of texture issues. I do allow fan updates in the license as well if players would just like to update the UI so long as it's posted on wowinterface or curse.com (and associated websites aka curseforge, wowace, ect) __________________ Tweets YouTube Website

That will happen with the 6.0 pre-patch. A WoD-specific version will not be uploaded until then unless there's any demand.

I use default myself and was hoping others could have suggestions for you. Now and then I get an urge to create an addon to change default portraits to squares but it looks kinda odd without more drastic changes.

I don't know how drastic a change you want, but BobUI has square portraits. Practically any unit frame addon would too.

I'm just looking for something that's nice and simple, BUFX (and it's inspiration Gypsy Unit Frames) are the best examples of what I'd like. I've looked at lots of unit frame addons but they all seem to give the entire thing a complete overhaul / revamp which is more than I want really. Ah well, my search must continue for a while longer it seems, but thanks for the reply!
