eXtreme Unit Buttons

Version: v2.0

by: tayedaen [More]

This highly configurable mod allows players to associate buttons to unit frames. It is meant as a replacement to GroupButtons which stopped functioning with the 2.0 patch in December 2006. The mod extends the capabilities of GroupButtons by providing these additional features:

an unlimited number of buttons per unit frame
Buttons which turn on/off depending on the amount of damage a unit has
Buttons which are dimmed if a unit as that buff or a related buff applied.
Buttons which appear when a debuff is applied to a unit.
Buttons which allow you to have any type of "/" slash or macro command on a button
A variety of a modes for different activities in the game. For example, a set of buttons
for soloing, buttons for instances, buttons for raids, buttons for specific bosses (such as Baron Geddon in MC (to all priests to debuff), buttons for PvP, etc.
Assign buttons to unit frames that when clicked cast spells on different units. This feature allows, for example, buffs and heals for the player unit to appear within the target buttons to minimize the amount of mouse movement between buttons.
Works for any kind of non-casting classes; specifically warriors and rogues.

Version 2.0 (Dec 06, 2010) (by tayedaen)

I know that the documentation is a complete mess at the moment, I am already working on it.
But I wanted to have a released version for cataclysm start.

Before upgrading, please read the included 'readme.txt'.

You will loose your config, so read carefully !

Hightlights of the changes since the last official release:

Code:

New: Support for default profiles for spec1 and spec 2
New: Wizards for Group and Profile generation
 Please use them !
New: LDB button (and menu)
New: Default Buttons now always use the Prefix 'SB_'
 This is an abbreviation for StandardButton.
 I recommend to use 'CB_' as prefix for custom buttons.
New: '$' self condition for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
 Example: CB_Renew,buff,Renew,$Renew
 This custom buutton will only chnge to the state BUFFED if the destination unit is buffed with your OWN Renew.
New: '!' inverts conditions for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
New: new debuff condition "Death"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit is dead.
New: new debuff condition "Purge"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit has at least one buff to purge.
New: two keywords for exclude-units:
  'hostile'   and    'friendly'
  Example: MyGroupName,SB_Renew,*,hostile
  This button will be hidden on hostile units (= it will only be shown on friendly units)
New: Spell ranks have been removed (multiranking too)
New: Macro buttons support now '[target=unit#]'
 Here unit# will be rpalced at runtime with the unit the button is attached to.
 Example: /target [target=unit#]
Improved: Verification of buttons while configuring the addon

And last but not least: 
!!! Improved: Internals are mostly rewritten from scratch for better performance  !!!

Please refer to 'z_historic_Changelog.txt' for older changes.

Known problems:
XPerl's partypets get no buttons

Known blizzard bugs:
------------------------
'isUsableSpell' is broken, there is nothing I can do to change that.
That means: Some spells are reported 'not usable' if you target a hostile target or NPC (like 'PowerWord: Shield' for example).

Enjoy - Tayedaen

Um, maybe I missed something, but the existing slider, isn't it for the 'closer' out of range alpha rating (XUB_OUTOFRANGE_ALPHA)? If its not, I can remove the new slider and use the existing slider. I had thought we were trying to get two sliders going, one for the closer out of range (XUB_OUTOFRANGE_ALPHA) and one for the farther away (XUB_INVALID_ALPHA)? Just let me know, takes five minutes to back out the changes.

These are the other saved variables that do not have a UI component. I have not looked for non- saved ones.

Drome

Code:

XUB_INVALID_ALPHA The alpha of INVALID buttons. 0 - 1.0 XUB_USE_BUILTIN_COOLDOWN, Should we use the built in Blizzard cooldown (spinner), 1 = yes, 0 = no. XUB_USE_GLOBALDIM, Use Global Dim, 1 = yes, 0 = no. XUB_ShowGlobalCooldown, Show Global Cool Down, 1 = yes, nil = no XUB_ShowDecimals Show decimal seconds for cooldowns less then 10 seconds, 1 = yes, nil = no

Well, "XUB_INVALID_ALPHA" is what I just added with the "Far Out of Range" slider, so its done, pending your reply on my previous point (above).

I'll add controls for the other four. The Options window is going to get a little crowded though, but I'll squeeze it all in.

EDIT: Made the changes, uploaded a "1.8 FOOR2" version".

1) About the alpha of OutOfRange Buttons:

If the target is far away then the range check no longer returns 'OutOfRange' but 'Unusable' .
And 'Unusable' translates to a button state STATE_INVALID.
The alpha for invalid buttons can be changed manually, see the release notes.
I quote:

Code:

CHANGED: OutOfRange buttons have now a separate alpha from Invalid buttons The alpha for invalid is set to '0'. This can be changed to 'x' with '/script XUB_INVALID_ALPHA=x (0 <= x <= 1)

Sorry I can't really help at the moment, I expect to have more time after november

I've uploaded a 'patched' version of XUB 1.8 that has a new slider for this invalid state value. I called the slider 'Far Out of Range', and added it below the 'Out of Range' slider. I didn't touch any code for the command line arugment to change the value manually, just added the new slider to the UI. Please feel free to take this code and add it to your code base and/or modify it any way.

As soon as I get the list of other UI changes that are needed, I'll start working on the UI.

Regards,

CC

Why do you want to see the tooltip?
If it's only to check them once then type '/XUB debug', this will also enable the tooltips.

First off, awesome mod. Thank you to all authors/contributors for the hard work.

Second, I was wondering if a couple of the mod's "behaviors" are configurable. I have tested the options pane by changing all the sliders one at a time and have done my best to scour these posts to find the answers, but I am stumped.

I am trying to:
A) change the mod so that when the in-game global cooldown is "counting down", the buttons don't turn dark (or at least not so dark that I can't "pre-position" my pointer over the proper button for the next cast - currently, it can be hard to make sure you are over the right button for your next intended spell w/ the "darkness level" set as it is during the GCD)

B) i have noticed that usually (I am pretty sure this always happens, but not positive) when a target is hit with a magic debuff for which I can cast dispel magic (priest char), all buttons for that unit disappear except for the dispel magic button. This is a great reminder to debuff; however, my current unit frame mod (X-Perl) notifies me quite nicely - the real problem is that sometimes i REALLY need to throw up a heal or shield or some other spell on the afflicted unit before taking the time to dispel magic on them. With all the buttons disappearing except for the dispel magic button, this gets quite disconcerting at times when things are wild and wooly in combat.

In short, I am trying to configure the mod to not darken/darken so much when the game's GCD is counting down and to not hide all buttons except for the dispel magic button when a unit is afflicted with a magic debuff.

Thank your for any help in advance.

For A: Use the alpha sliders.
For B. I've never seen that. What version are you using ?

I don't like the blank slots and want them to just be transparent.

I have two rows for my targets: first row is attacks, second row is friendly casts. So when I click on a friendly I see like 2 buttons on my first row with a bunch of blank space and a few buttons on my second row depending on their distance and whether I can cast it on them. I want ALL buttons to be visible no matter hostile or friendly.

Matt

Yah, nevermind. I figured it out. I was able to use the command:

/script XUB_INVALID_ALPHA=0.4

That made the invalid state 40% visible... yah!

Thanks for the script command.

Will set the out of range to 40% - a value I like. You can set it to anything from 0.0 to 1.0.

@ Cosmic Cleric

Where can I find the latest version of ag_UnitFrames (i.e., a version that's compatible with the current version of WoW)? Are there any other frame addons you would recommend?

Thanks!

Ask and ye shall receive...
http://files.wowace.com/ag_UnitFrames/
Go to the bottom of the page and download the "ag_UnitFrames.zip" file, thats always the latest version.

Information about ag_UnitFrames...
http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Ag_UnitFrames

Above links obtained from a Google search...
http://www.google.com/search?q=ag_Un...ient=firefox-a

One word of warning. There's talk that ag_UnitFrames not being the best, and that there are alternatives to it available (some that are supported by XUB). For me, its always worked, so I use it. Sometimes its better to not listen to the voices in your head, or on the Internet.

/shrug

EDIT: Other add-on's that I use...

Atlas (great map tracking mod)
AuctionFilterPlus
AutoShoutOut (disclamer: my add-on)
CT_Core
CT_MapMod
CT_PartyBuffs
FriendNotes (works but out of date, and notes can be lost when new WoW client comes out)
LightHeaded http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html
ItemRack
Ogri'Lazy (or Burning Blade daily quest to reproduce the musical tones)
Omen (threat meter)
PerfectRaid
TomTom http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7032-TomTom.html
WIM (best IM-type interface for WoW there is, tracks whispers as you log in/out from characters)

Warlock-specific add-ons...

DoTimer
GrimoireKeeper

You know how like when you take something apart, and then put it back together again, there's always an extra screw left over? :P

If you download the v1.8 from the top of the page via the Download button you'll be good to go. You may want to go to the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\ folder and delete the "eXtremeUnitButtons" folder, then unzip the v1.8 into the same directory. You'll be good to go at that ponit.
