MetaHud

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.

Where do I edit how far they fill? Is it in coordinates in the LUA somewhere? If so, whats the text for it?

ForsakenXI A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Pet bar, want it the same size... Can someone that knows what they're doing tell me how to make the pet health and mana bars the same height as the player health and mana bars? I have an LUA editor. When I'm trying to evaluate whether my pet is 'winning' vs the current enemy, it'd be a lot easier if the bars were the same height for comparison. It's gotta be somewhere, I just can't find it.. I can't really read code too well.

Mahonri A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	bug? I love this itteration and use it strictly for the health/mana bars during combat with everything else hidden. The only issue I have had is that when I uncheck the option to show the group leader icon, it does not go away. I have not been able to get it to work with any option combination that I've tried. Can anyone else confirm this or might I be having some kind of mod conflict going on?

Once there is a good hud that incorporates a threat bar I'll have found my new main. Until then I'll be using Archud for my main hud and keep testing the others as they evolve. Did I already ask for Metahud to incorporate a threat bar? Yup! Could we at least know if this is a consideration (if not I can stop monitoring this addon . Also, is MetaHawk actually updating this addon? I haven't seen a comment from him since August. Last edited by Lindalas : 01-16-08 at 12:15 PM.

I made some modification to this system, so you can rightclick on bars to show menu:

1) search for "create all Frames" words in metahud.lua
2) add this block:
MetaHud_LeftFrame:EnableMouse(true);
MetaHud_RightFrame:EnableMouse(true);
MetaHud_LeftFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
if(arg1 == "RightButton") then
ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, MetaHud_Player_DropDown, "MetaHud_LeftFrame", -100, 180);
end
end );
MetaHud_RightFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
if(arg1 == "RightButton") then
ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, MetaHud_Target_DropDown, "MetaHud_RightFrame", 60, 180);
end
end );

and you got it!
rightclick on left (player) bars will show player menu
rightclick on right (target's) bars will show target menu

p.s. this fix was made for "player on left, target on right" layout

Lindalas A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 76 Uploads: 0	Just wanted to say that as a long time HUD user (switching between various HUDs) I LOVE the configuration screen for MetaHud. You're focusing on the essentials and making it easy. Sure there are those that would like more options, but that always leads to a loss of usability. Since there are several proposed additions (not the least my own two), is there any place you keep a list of planned improvements/extensions to MetaHud (so that we can stop bugging you :-) Now for my last user error (probably). When I tried Meta yesterday I couldn't figure out how to pull up the menu for my target (to open trade). I found that I could pull up my own menu by right-clicking the name of the target (very unintuitive)... what am I missing? edit: I know the readme says "right-click on player name for player menu"... well I got that when right clicking on the target name (and is there actually a player name?

nikorl A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Great addon, I love it! Some suggestions: 1) But buff/debuff need some more config options, imho: 1.1) It will be nice to make some layouts like your buff/debuff on leftside, target's on right(or something like this). 1.2) Configurable rows, colums, max shown buffs/debuffs. 1.3) duration of buff/debuff (standart blizzard style "10 m" will be ok) 2)ToT bar alpha setting (I modified it for myself, but will be nice to see it in config menu) 3)replace target's pvp icon from target's text to bar (like on player's bar) and again, tnx for your work!

It didn't look very customizable at first but after i played a bit with the options i made it just the way i needed. A little manual would help noobs like me i think.

Daxxzod A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	option for buffs Right now i'm using blizz's buffs but would like an option to show my own buffs. It shows the targets buffs to the left or right of the target info. Maybe you could put our buffs on the outside left of the health bars with maybe radius and sizing options. Otherwise, I love this mod. I use metahud in place of unit frames with the option to hide it out of combat. I have lots of free space to see the beauty of the WoW scenery.

It doesn't do that to me. I've been using it for a week now and i like it. I can't imagine why it would do that. You have a saved variables folder in your wow directory which saves all that stuff. I haven't downloaded the latest update but since you said that i'll save my saved variables file on my desktop just in case.
