X-Perl UnitFrames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.6.35
by: MysticalOS, Zeksie

A much enchanced version of Nymbia's Perl UnitFrames, and a complete replacement for Blizzard's default unit frames, including raid frames and raid tools, with many additions and improvements over the original Nymbia code.

Range Finder (combined with optional health check) for all frames based on spell or item range test.

HoT Monitor will highlight units clearly that have your own active Heal over Time spells.

Debuff Highlights in standard debuff colours on all friendly frames. Priority given to show debuffs that YOU can cure first.

Raid Frames, buff icons, MT list units and some other portions or X-Perl are Created on demand. Saving a lot of time and memory at system startup. Defering the creation of many parts of X-Perl to when they are actually required. And of course, most often outside of raids they are never required and are never created.

Raid Target icon support for Target, Target's Target, MT Targets.

Raid tooltip will show combat rezzers available (druids with Rebirth ready (or very soon available) and any normal rezzers out of combat) if you bring up tooltip of a dead person.

'In-combat' indicators for Pet, Target, Target's Target, Party, Party pets, Raid, MT Targets.

3D Portraits for player, pet, target, focus, party. Optional. Of course this may degrade your framerate somewhat because you are displaying more 3D character models that without this option. But some like it pretty, and it does look cool.

Red and Green combat flashes for frames when player, pet, target, party, partypets, raid take damage/heals. Useful indication of things happening.

Added time left on party member/target buffs/debuffs when in a raid, these depend somewhat on CTRA/oRA/oRA2 sending appropriate information over the addon channel, although some of it can be determined at run time by X-Perl, when a player gets a buff for example, we know how long it should last, and therefor when it should expire.

Totally new options window including all X-Perl options and access via minimap icon.

Configurable colours for borders and backgrounds. Including class coloured names, and configurable reaction colours.

Much care has been taken with code size, memory load, memory usage per cycle and so on. LuaProfiler/OnEvent mods used extensively and regularly to ensure that X-Perl does not do more work than is absolutely necessary.

With that in mind, the event system was totally re-written, and is as kind to system performance as possible. The majority of events are disabled while zoning to alleviate any event backlog issues. And where most addons use 1 event handler per unit frame, which although standard, the alternative has improved X-Perl's performance. By using single main event handlers, we can route the events to appropriate units. So, for example, when a single UNIT_HEALTH update is fired, then just a single raid frame or party frame etc. gets the event, rather than 40 raid frame's handlers, 4 party and so on. Nymbia's Perl used to do a lot of crazy full frame udpates all over the place, eating away at CPU cycles. This was all fixed to only update what was necessary based on events.

Liberal usage of local functions to cut down compiled code size, and increase speed since functions are called directly rather than by name. Every time you have a global function, you have a global string name associated with it, so size in the global environment saved where possible.

XPerl_RaidHelper sub-addon
Assists View
Will show anyone from raid assising you with your target, and can also show healers or all plus known enemies targetting you.
Tooltips for the same also available (on player and target frames) if you prefer to not use the main window.

MT Targets
Replaces CTRA/oRA2 MT Targets window, and doubles as a replacement for the Perl RaidFrames warrior targets.
Indicator shows which target you are on.
Frames will be coloured to show if tanks have duplicate targets.

XPerl_RaidMonitor sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Casting Monitor
Shows selected classes (defaults to healer classes) in a list (much like the MT List), but with some differences.
Shows mana bars and cast bars on left. Their targets on right. Health bar as normal, but a secondary small red bar on targets which shows the maximum single hit this unit has received since entering combat. The secondary bar will extend downwards from their current HP level down to as far as zero.
A green name on the targets indicates this is the same target that you have.
You can click on casters or their targets as expected.
For druids, right clicking on a caster will cast Innervate on them.
For shamans, right clicking on a caster will cast Mana Tide Totem. Check the * indicator to see if they're in your group.

All bars can be re-sized in X-Perl main options (Monitor section).

Totals can be toggled (from the 'T' minibutton at top of frame) which gives overview of raid mana status.

XPerl_RaidAdmin sub-addon (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Raid Admin
Save/Load raid roster setups
Only does direct save and load for the moment, but more to come (templates and such).

Item Check
Replacement for /raitem /radur /raresist /rareg. Use the old commands before, or drop items in the left item list.
Query button will perform /raitem on all ticked items (query always includes dur and resists) and you can then view and review all the results whenever, without having to re-query each item.
Includes everyone in raid, so you don't have to work out who doesn't have items, it'll list them with 0 instead of no entry.
Active Scanner to check raid member's equipment for the item selected. So you can be sure that people actually have the item worn (Onyxia Cloak for example), without having to go round single target inspecting everyone who 'forgot' to install CTRA for the 50th raid in a row.

Supported Addons
CT_RaidAssist, oRA2. Shows tooltip info and player status, replaces MT Targets List, improves raid frames, shows player status, resurrection monitor, buff timers aware.
MobInfo-2 / MobHealth3 - Shows target health from MobHealth database.
DruidBar - Shows druid mana bar from DruidBar when shapeshifted.
Clique compatible. And any other click cast addon that uses the same communication method. (see below)

Changes:
*Updated for 5.x
*Should use signifcently less cpu then it did before
Optional Files (0)

I closed it when I first loaded the addon and now I can't figure out how to get that window again.
Not the options window, the little window with the 2 CD-Rom looking icons that lets you save?
How do I access that?

Focus

I started to redo the ui for my alt priest and I'm not sure what I click to get a small target looking frame. I went throuigh the config and after clicking a few boxes, I found that the frame had something to do with focus. What is this focus and how do i get rid of the frame. The frame will not go away. I can move it and add/remove items from the frame but that's it.

Whenever I enable this addon, the game lags some when someone enters or leaves the raid, anyone else having this problem?

I found out a little more, I try version 2.1.1 and it was still doing it. So I loaded an old one I had 2.0.5 Now its not freezing when people join/leave raid. It's not freezing with 2.0.6

Also I understand the casting monitor is in beta but just to let you know the last one or two people in the monitor will sometimes display one name but actually monitor someone else as far as who they target and what person you target when you click on the name. It would also be nice if the bars were blue because it is monitoring mana.

One suggestion for the aggro warning would be the option to display the name of what is actually aggroing you.


Range finder code hasn't change as far as I recall. Will check it out though.

Yup, monitor is not finished yet. Don't worry about bugs. Just a proof of concept really for comments in that regard.

As for the bars being blue, i wanted them to be easily distinguishable for high/low mana. Hence the colour gradient. I would have probably made it a different coloured gradient for next version anyway.

RAID Error fix (take 2):
XPerl_Raid.lua line 469 (ish) change the 'self' to read 'frame' and 'Highlight' to read 'highlight' like this:

Code:
if ((XPerlConfig.HighlightSelection == 1 and MouseIsOver(frame.highlight)) or set) then
frame.highlight:Show()
else
frame.highlight:Hide()
end
PET Frame Fix:
XPerl_Player_Pet.lua, line 7 ish, right after the first function line add:
Code:
XPerl_BaseFrameProperties(self)

The Raid frames give an error when entering BG's

Interface\FrameXML\UIParent.lua:1546:attempt to index local 'frame' (a nil value)

When I put the raid frames off...everything is ok again.

I am also having this problem. When in a group and a member disconnects, the default blizz frame for that player pops up.

I do not use Archeologist. I do use the following: (lastest version as of today for all) AlphaMap, Auctioneer Pack, eCastingBar, CT_MailMod, Titan Panel, Mobinfo2, Flightmap, DamagerMeters.

I also have a problem with the pet's health and energy bar extending outside of the frame area.

I have removed the mod (includeding all saved variable files) and used a clean copy of the addon and its still doing it.

Moving back to version 2.1.1 corrects these problems.

Is this supposed to happen or is the Blizz unit frames supposed to be disabled in it's entirety while using X-perl?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. i guessed that much myself, and i have the speaker icon (I typed /vent), but that's about it. it doesn't show even when I'm speaking. the readme file says

This monitor provides a somewhat limited, but potentially useful keyboard
monitor to indicate when you are pressing a key. So, define the key the same as
your TeamSpeak push-to-talk key and you'll see in-game who's talking. Magic!
how do i do that? (i.e define the key the same as my ventrilo push-to-talk key)

Is a lot of trouble for something that's not used a lot imo

Ah, I didn't know about this way to save frame positions, i had assumed that it was just a table with coords, so I didn't understand how something could overwrite data while the addon wasn't even loaded. I guess it's both simplier and faster to use a build-in way to save frame positions then ^^
Maybe a "force save position" which creates a table somewhere and reloads ui, and can be used afterward with a load option? Or maybe I'm the only annoying user which often disables some addons
