MetaHud  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 20400-3
by: MetaHawk [More]

This addon adds a HUD to your UI, showing all the information normally displayed by the Player and Target frames and more.
Always thought it was a shame that Drathal's HUD was given up on the way it was so, I have taken the core of that code and MetaMorphed it.
Added some features which I thought were pretty useful, and removed some of the excess stuff. Decided to release it, as no doubt there are others who enjoyed this as much as me.
Full credit to the original author of course, for the initial code.

Features:
=========
Health/Mana Bars colour levels.
All Bars are animated.
Shows Level, Name, Class and Elite/Boss, Pet, NPC.
4 Alpha Settings for: Combat/Target selected/No Target/Player is regging.
4 Displaymodes for Health/Mana.
Many positioning and Scaling Options.
Hide Blizzard Player/Targetframe.
Target Menu with Leftclick on Targetname.
Player Menu with Rightclick on Playername.
Castingbar with Cast-time.
Option to hide Petbars.
Option to hide Targetbars/Text.
Load-on-Demand configuration display.
Target's Target display - click to switch to that target.
Aggro alert - audible and visual warnings.
Target PvP status.
Self PvP status.
Status icons for Rested, Combat, Raid leader, and Loot Master.
Target distance display.
Support for Mobhealth, Mobinfo2, and Mobhealth2.
FlightMap support.
FuBar_ToFu support.
myAddons Support.
FuBar Support.

See included Readme for patch history.

02 April 2008 - v20400-3
Argh! - 2 minutes after upload I realised I included wrong file in archive.
This one contains the correct chat alert sequence, and does the CC alert correctly.

02 April 2008 - v20400-2
Updated the recommended CC macro further up this page.
Removed chat alert mouse click from flight timer display.
Added new keybinding to the system keybindings for all chat alerts.
Set key in keybindings which will then produce the following chat alerts when used:
No Hud: Pastes your current location into message box for current channel.
Hud showing: Pastes your current target into message box for current channel.
In Flight: Pastes your flight destination/ETA into message box for current channel.
Active CC: Pastes time left on CC into message box for current channel.

29 March 2008 - v20400-1
Fixed flight timer errors for new flight paths and some other minor fixes.

@ilmorris:

Sounds like the focus frame. Is it "glowing"?

Current version seems to be always displaying Target's Target. Even if it is unchecked within the Options.

EDIT: After some further research, it isn't the actual target's target bar that is being displayed. But something that looks very similar. It appears in the same location within the hud that target's target appears, but doesn't change. Is this something that I can turn off? Or is this a bug within the latest version?

Simpler, uglier, more laggy, and harder to configure. MetaHud is better, straight up.

Not true, there is an ACE HUD that allows this(to some extent). This particular ace hud also has an enemy cast bar included in it.

Pet bugs

The pet icon disappears, and the pet bars sometimes disappear if you disable the borders.
The problem with the icon is that ChangeBackgroundTexture sets self.has_*, which are used in other places, but only does so if the borders are enabled.

Edit:
... and a request: It would be nice if the regen alpha was used if the pet isn't fully happy.

When using layout 2, the player and target health bars are outermost, but the pet health bar is innermost. I keep thinking I'm looking at the pet health when it's really focus...
Could you swap the pet health and focus bars, or at least make an option to do so if there's a reason to keep it as-is?

I'll also second the request for an enemy cast bar.

Problem with the Focus feature

I have discovered a problem with the new focus feature, when I set a focus target the target frame appears although I have hidden it through MetaHUD. Even if you try to clear the focus target the target frame stays up.
If I open the MetaHUD options the target frame disappears again.
Perhapps there could be a way of showing the focused target name somewhere with MetaHUD, and remove it when that mob dies?

First of all, great mod. The most features of any HUD mod to date.

One question/suggestion though. How would I be able to click on bars to be able to target people? I would like this mod to completely take over self/target/tot from a unitframes mod.

Thanks

I've noticed, using the latest version, that the predefined unit text options are no longer working for me. If I place HP's on the 70/150 for example, it still displays as 70/(50%). And the Target textbox Small option is completely missing information on the left side when it is selected.
