stExperienceBar

Version: 3.2

by: Safturento [More]

NOTICE: If your updating to 3.0 from a previous version, make sure to delete your current version from your AddOns' folder first.

This is just a simple experience bar addon I wrote, all of the configuration is done through the Config.lua file. There you can change the font, texture, anchor, and size of the bar.

When your not level 80 and your tracking a reputation, it will show the reputation info on the tooltip, and will push the xp bar up 2 pixels to show a reputation bar.

When you right click on the bar, it will open a menu to report reputation/experience information into chat.

That's it, hope you enjoy the addon!

-- v3.2
Renamed global variable "st" to "stExp" to prevent it from conflicting with a variable in Tukui.
Removed Monochrome from the outline when not using my edit of Tukui.

Look for the line that begins with "Text:SetPoint(" and add this under it:

Code:

Text:SetAlpha(0)

Then find this line:

Code:

mouseFrame:SetScript("OnEnter", function()

and add this directly under it:

Code:

Text:SetAlpha(1)

Then find this line:

Code:

mouseFrame:SetScript("OnLeave", function() GameTooltip:Hide() end)

and replace it with this:

Code:

mouseFrame:SetScript("OnLeave", function() GameTooltip:Hide() Text:SetAlpha(0) end)

Look for this line:

Code:

xpBar:SetStatusBarColor(.5, 0, .75)

and replace it with this code:

Code:

local _, class = UnitClass("player")
local color = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]
local r,g,b = color.r, color.g, color.b
xpBar:SetStatusBarColor(r,g,b)

Instead you can do: Code: frame:SetScript("OnEvent", updateStatus) Just thought I'd point that out. Last edited by Haleth : 12-01-10 at 02:08 PM.

v_v note to self: Don't code until 5 am..I'll have a new version up in a sec that fixes that and also fixes an issue with the rested exp bar.

haha oops, v2.2 fixes that. I added it in as an option in the config for those who want it still.

I'm sure a lot of us would totally appreciate it! Also, great addon!!!!

The only thing I'm trying to change is the font since I'm not using pixel font on the rest of my UI and in fact for whatever reason pixel font is completely unreadable on my screen (probably cause of low resolution). Anyway, just going into .lua and changing the font to one of my own (and adding it to the media folder obviously), makes it so I can't see anything on the xpbar at all. Haven't figured out yet why but is there anything particular about this font you're using? Special characters wise or something? Size?

I'm experiencing the same issue myself. Been trying different sizes for my font and removed the monochrome type but it refuses to show. Can't seem to figure it out.

Also noticing that I'm level 84 on my warrior and it is only showing reputation.

Hmm, I just tested this using ARIALN.ttf and it changed the font without issues. Here's what my new font line looks like:

Code:

local font,fontsize,flags = [[Fonts\ARIALN.ttf]], 10, "MONOCHROMEOUTLINE"

The lines you'll need to edit for the border are here:

Code:

backdrop:SetBackdrop({
	bgFile = barTex, 
	edgeFile = barTex, 
	tile = false, tileSize = 0, edgeSize = 1, 
	insets = { left = -1, right = -1, top = -1, bottom = -1}
})
backdrop:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0)
backdrop:SetBackdropBorderColor(.2, .2, .2, 1)

It shows up on every single one of my toons (even other 80s, I haven't leveled any past 80 yet) but no matter what I do, it won't show up on my lock.
