SLDataText

Version: 9.2.5

by: Taffu, snichols1122, suicidalkatt

Simple Light Data Text v9.0.2

SLDataText is a lightweight addon based on text based modules, which can be moved & customized independently or globally. It includes LibSharedMedia support for expanded font selection, and various degrees of mouse click interaction on various module frames. It also supports user-created plug-ins to expand on the module selection beyond what is included in this package. Plug-ins can be as vast or as tiny as desired. Included is are custom libraries (LibSL-1.0 and LibSLTip-1.0) that are used for module configuration menu management and interactive tooltips.

Each module can be positioned independently via dragging and placement can be fined tuned via the configuration menu. Fine tuning includes manual frame anchoring, text justification, X/Y value tweaking, and frame strata value.

Each module has an independent configuration menu, and the AddOn has a global menu to handle unified font types & sizes. The following modules are contained in this package:

NEW!!! Guild: Displays current online Guild Member count, and an interactive tooltip that allows click functionality.
NEW!!! Friends: Displays current online Friend count, and an interactive tooltip that allows click functionality.
Armor: Displays current overall gear durability value as well as a tooltip that provides detailed durability information. This module also has an auto-repair feature.
Bag: Displays remaining & total bag space. Click interaction toggles your bags open & closed.
Clock: Displays selected Local or Realm time, with options for 12 & 24 hour format(s). Tooltip provides expanded time information, and click interaction toggles both the Time Manager & Calendar windows.
Coords: A simple map coordinate display.
Currency: Displays currency of your choosing based on your "discovered" currencies. Interactive tooltip provides full currency list and allows for display selection.
Exp: Displays experience point information, including percentage & rest percentage.
FPS: A simple framerate display.
Gold: Displays current overall Gold in long or short format, tooltip shows session-based values (Starting/Current/Earned).
Latency: A simple latency display.
Mail: A simple mail indicator inheriting the stock MinimapMailFrame tooltip.
Memory: Displays current UI memory usage, as well as provides click interaction for manual garbage collection and a detailed list of AddOn usage.
Reputation: Displays current tracked Reputation. Utilizes Blizzards built-in tracking on the Reputation pane, "XP Bar" watched Reputations will be displayed.
ZoneText: A simple ZoneText display with PvP-Type coloration.

Be sure to check the Other Files tab for additional modules, such as Guild, Friends, and StatLine!

Usage:
/sldt[*]Help
/sldt config[*]Toggle drag & drop/configuration mode
/sldt global[*]Open global configuration menu
/sldt <module>[*]Open module configuration menu

Note: In drag & drop/configuration mode, you can left click & drag to move modules, or right click modules to open their specific configuration menu. The Global Configuration Menu has global options such as font & sizes that carry over into the modules, as well as profile options and tooltip scaling for LibSLTip tooltips.

Special Thanks: I originally wrote this AddOn a long time ago, and have taken extended breaks from WoW at which time suicidalKatt & snichols1122 both made contributions to keep the AddOn up to date and functional so people could continue to use it. I just want to give them a big "Thanks" for doing so, their efforts are much appreciated!

Arkive A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 242 File comments: 465 Uploads: 1	If it's the firends module, is it safe to say that we won't experience the issues if that module is disabled? The obvious answer is yes, but I wasn't sure if perhaps the enabled/disabled was just the display portion and not the back-end processing.

I didn't add this option this time around because there is a tooltip that displays both local & realm time. It's a little bit of bloated string formatting to put them together, which was why I removed it. It could be added if enough folks were interested in seeing it be implemented. It also made the module kind of large in terms of real estate on-screen, which made it difficult (in my opinion) to find a good layout position for it.

Taffu A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 149 File comments: 422 Uploads: 29	After some preliminary tests this morning, the issue boils down to the Friends module, which might be due to the Friends Note feature that was added. I will be doing further testing/fixing this evening (provided the servers are up and stable), and should hopefully have a working patch uploaded this evening so that there aren't any issues going into the WotLK release on Thursday. Thanks for everyone's patience

There is already an option for this in the Clock Configuration (Hide Meridiem).

Reactive coloring could be added.

1&2: I meant the displayed text. I was assuming, you know, if I were playing a Hunter, and selected "Ranged Crit" then it displayed the text on screen as "CRIT"... well, would seem kind of obvious seeing as I just chose "Ranged Crit"? or "RAP" etc.

3: I wasn't diss'n you or the addon. I meant, it'd be nicer to have it implemented by you rather than doing it myself. That way, I/we would know it was done properly.

4: Cool. Was just an idea.

5: Cool. Was just an idea.

6: Sweet.

X/Y: Would it have to go from -1600 to +1600? Pitbull for example goes from -400 to +400 in increments of 5. You can still enter the numerical value should you chose. Might be something to look at if you've never seen it. It's pretty smooth and I know personally, liking to have a minimalistic and almost OCD compulsion to have things line up etc, the sliders imo, are a nice touch.

At any rate, I hope none of my previous posts seemed rude? or like I was being disrespectful. Kind of got the "feeling" you might have thought that. These were all just ideas. Implemented or not, won't stop me from using your addon. It's very cool to have people like yourself to take time out of their day(s) to make sweet and useful addons to make our gaming more enjoyable.

Take care...

1 & 2 ) It's obvious to you, obvious to me, etc. But then I start getting bug reports stating that Crit shows up twice and it's obvious that I cannot make everyone happy with "one" defined abbreviation. Seperating Ranged Crit away from Melee Crit or Spell Crit through different abbreviations is probably going to remain, simply because despite all "crit" from gear affecting all, we still have the seperate values in our Character pane, which means something out there changes them so their different, so they should remain seperate values.

3) No problem, there's only so many ways to answer questions...my apologies if you feel I'm firing back. Honesty's the best policy, no?

X/Y ) With Sliders, you have to understand that I cannot create a "perfect" number to figure out everyones resolution. Movement around the UIParent area is related to your Resolution (as well as you UI Scale in-game). A slider works on a set "minimum" and "maximum" scale (ie. -1000 to 1000, so on and so forth). I would have to work up a way to query the users resolution, query their UI Scale, and then translate that in a way to update the sliders appropriately so that people could move the modules throughout their entire UIParent resolution. And like I mentioned, putting nearly 2000+ values onto a slider that's only 200-400 pixels wide in the game menu makes it extremely hard to adjust/tweak the values. I don't know what Pitbull does, but it sounds like moving text around a much smaller area, like your Unit Frames on a very small scale. SLDT encompasses the entire UI, and therefore Sliders just do not work.

Thanks for the feedback/suggestions

1a & b) Will change to RAP if it's preferable by a majority. RAP seemed less accurate than RAttk which was a bit more deliberate and blunt in what it was representing. That, and RAP is a word, which I didn't like how it looked. I would prefer the easiest distinctions for different class assortments. Sure you know what you selected, but making it AP would easily insinuate Armor Points or Attack Power, both of which is not Ranged Attack Power.

2a & b) Again, CRIT can be translated as regular Crit, whereas RCrit specifically caters to Ranged Crit. Not everyone using the AddOn is a Hunter.

3a & b) I will do my best to include a ranged (and spell) DPS conversion to select from. Also, properly in regards to how anything is done with AddOns from an authors perspective is a relative thing. Who determines it's proper? Me, or you? Or anyone else? Again, I try to make things as easily to associate to multiple classes & playstyles/ui styles as possible, while retaining a bit of my own interest and creative approach towards things. It's not going to make everyone happy, and I'm ok with that.

4a & b) Again, always something that can be added.

5a & b) Padding would be tough because it would involve 3 different frames, or using a padding value to create whitespace between the values. I can seperate them by a predetermined amount, but I didn't want to make the module too big at first. I will probably seperate them by at least an additional space.

6a & b) I've already updated the module to fire on UNIT_AURA events, which are associated with Buff gains like Rapid Fire or even the proc of an enchant like Mongoose...it should be catching more Buff gain/lose elements now.

Regarding X & Y Position Sliders: I had done this originally. It's clunky, messy, and inaccurate. It's not hard to drag a module to an approximate location and tweak with input values like it currently is, but it's harder to use a slider accurately when values can vary on a single plane from -1600 to +1600 values (ie. Monitor/Pixel Resolution). It makes it very hard to pinpoint on a specific location. I tried it, it didn't work, so I think it will stay with input values for the time being.

1&2: I meant the displayed text. I was assuming, you know, if I were playing a Hunter, and selected "Ranged Crit" then it displayed the text on screen as "CRIT"... well, would seem kind of obvious seeing as I just chose "Ranged Crit"? or "RAP" etc.

3: I wasn't diss'n you or the addon. I meant, it'd be nicer to have it implemented by you rather than doing it myself. That way, I/we would know it was done properly.

4: Cool. Was just an idea.

5: Cool. Was just an idea.

6: Sweet.

X/Y: Would it have to go from -1600 to +1600? Pitbull for example goes from -400 to +400 in increments of 5. You can still enter the numerical value should you chose. Might be something to look at if you've never seen it. It's pretty smooth and I know personally, liking to have a minimalistic and almost OCD compulsion to have things line up etc, the sliders imo, are a nice touch.

At any rate, I hope none of my previous posts seemed rude? or like I was being disrespectful. Kind of got the "feeling" you might have thought that. These were all just ideas. Implemented or not, won't stop me from using your addon. It's very cool to have people like yourself to take time out of their day(s) to make sweet and useful addons to make our gaming more enjoyable.

Take care...

1b. I edited the lua myself to say RAP, but, not everyone knows how.

2a. Ranged Crit %. Maybe you could change the text to "CRIT"
2b. Same as 1b, however, being that we are setting up ranged values, one would assume we know the value is for "ranged" so not to sound rude, but no need really to say RCrit. We know it's ranged. Since we set it up on our ranged toon. If you get what I'm trying to say.

3a. DPS. This is set to melee DPS. Maybe add in Ranged DPS?
3b. With the help of this site, I've managed to edit the melee DPS and give the ranged DPS output. However, not everyone can and even tho it's displaying the proper DPS, I've never edited LUA before, but do have coding background. Still, done properly by the creator would be nice. Rather than my possible hack job. LOL.

4a. Ranged Attack Speed. ie: 1.79RAS
4b. I know DPS is better to see but still, sometimes nice to see your RAP go from 1.79 to 1.01. LOL. PEW PEW.

5a. Purely cosmetic but, could you increase the spacing between the 3 stats? or possibly add a padding option? I find it looks a bit, cramped.

6a. Is there a way to change how often the stats are checked?
6b. example: my DPS is 303.6. When I pop Rapid Fire and my Bloodlust Brooch, the buffs are almost over before it updates the DPS to 489.7. Same goes for turning on or off Aspect of the Hawk. Sometimes the RAP doesn't update to the buffed output until you turn the AOTH off. Which, you see it for a split second before it shows the unbuffed count again.

--------------------------------------------

Is there any possibility of having my question/suggestions umm, commented on? Even just a Yes/No? One other idea I had, from seeing it on other addons. Maybe a slide bar for the X/Y Positioning? Could be easier to setup rather than guessing around at #'s? Just an idea.

Keep up the good work!

1a & b) Will change to RAP if it's preferable by a majority. RAP seemed less accurate than RAttk which was a bit more deliberate and blunt in what it was representing. That, and RAP is a word, which I didn't like how it looked. I would prefer the easiest distinctions for different class assortments. Sure you know what you selected, but making it AP would easily insinuate Armor Points or Attack Power, both of which is not Ranged Attack Power.

2a & b) Again, CRIT can be translated as regular Crit, whereas RCrit specifically caters to Ranged Crit. Not everyone using the AddOn is a Hunter.

3a & b) I will do my best to include a ranged (and spell) DPS conversion to select from. Also, properly in regards to how anything is done with AddOns from an authors perspective is a relative thing. Who determines it's proper? Me, or you? Or anyone else? Again, I try to make things as easily to associate to multiple classes & playstyles/ui styles as possible, while retaining a bit of my own interest and creative approach towards things. It's not going to make everyone happy, and I'm ok with that.

4a & b) Again, always something that can be added.

5a & b) Padding would be tough because it would involve 3 different frames, or using a padding value to create whitespace between the values. I can seperate them by a predetermined amount, but I didn't want to make the module too big at first. I will probably seperate them by at least an additional space.

6a & b) I've already updated the module to fire on UNIT_AURA events, which are associated with Buff gains like Rapid Fire or even the proc of an enchant like Mongoose...it should be catching more Buff gain/lose elements now.

Regarding X & Y Position Sliders: I had done this originally. It's clunky, messy, and inaccurate. It's not hard to drag a module to an approximate location and tweak with input values like it currently is, but it's harder to use a slider accurately when values can vary on a single plane from -1600 to +1600 values (ie. Monitor/Pixel Resolution). It makes it very hard to pinpoint on a specific location. I tried it, it didn't work, so I think it will stay with input values for the time being.

----------------------------------

Unfortunately, due to the servers being down, I can't currently load the game up and test the memory usage problem that's been occuring. I'll be sure to test it as soon as I can (ie. tomorrow if I can't get on tonight).

Alright thx i will try that,
one more question tho.
About the coloring.
If i type in the hexcode for grey (wich is ccccc according to google) the color doesnt change but i just get loads of c's in the actualy on screen text.
I got absoluutly 0 knowledge of hexcode so i am probably doing something wrong :P

You have to adjust the other properties as well, they don't reset once you've anchored. If your module was originally anchored to UIParent at <X> XOffset and <Y> YOffset, those values need to be adjusted to your preference after you anchor it to the other modules frame. The easiest thing to do is set both to zero and start from there after you've anchored. SLDT does not use any StickyFrame-like libs or anything.

Hey i downloaded this addon today and so far i am loving it!
just one problem tho, for some reason stuff wont anchore together.
For instance if i try to anchore the FPS and Latency together i will type in the anchor of the PFS frame SLDT_Latency and put to anchor to the left.
The FPS frame will pop up on some random place on my screen and not anchor to the latency monitor at all.
This goes for all combinations of modules btw.
Anything i am doing wrong ?
