Sunn - Viewport Art  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.42
by: Sunn [More]

Sunn's Viewport Art allows you to change the size of the rendered world area (viewport) and adds textured artwork in the non-rendered areas.

Click here to lend your support!

The latest version always available at Curse

Usage
Use "/sunnart" (or "/sa") for the options gui.
Use "/sunnart help" for console commands

Panels
There are 4 panels in SunnArt, top, bottom, left and right. By default each will use the same theme although they can be set up with different themes, overlaps and dimensions using the advanced options.

Art Packs
Art packs are optional and should be installed as if they were separate addons (although they are useless without the SunnArt addon).

Extract the zipped folder into your interface/addons folder for it to function.

Previews of the artwork in the packs are available in the screenshots on this page.

Art Packs are available on this site

There are other art packs available that have been submitted by users. Search for "Sunn" on Curse or check for Optional Files on WoWInterface.

Custom Artwork
Artwork from any standard panels addon may be used with SunnArt. Just set them up using the in-game interface or by editting CustomTheme.lua.

File formats

  • Files must be .TGA or .BLP format
  • Be sure to set the alpha channel if your artwork contains any transparency
  • Panels can be constructed from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 separate sections, numbered from left to right (eg. <art file>1.tga, <art file>2.tga ... <art file>5.tga)
  • Each section MUST have dimensions that are a power of 2 (ie, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc) - this is a limitation of all artwork to be used in WoW.
  • Only files within the Interface\Addons\ structure are available to the addon

Using CustomTheme.lua
  • Save your artwork sections in Interface\Addons\SunnArt
  • Open CustomTheme.lua in any text editor
  • Follow the instructions in the file
  • Any number of themes can be set up in CustomTheme.lua

Using the in-game interface
All you need to know is the path to the artwork files, the amount of overlap and the number of sections the artwork is split into. Enter these into the Advanced options screen, Enter a name for your theme and click save. The theme will now be available to all your characters.


Submitting Artwork
I'm looking for a talented artist or two to help create a new Art Pack. Please submit your editted files or a complete screen-size file so that I may split it into compatible files and create a "How-To" tutorial for others.

If you have artwork that you would like to submit for Art Pack 10 and onward, please mail it to [email protected] and if I like it then I will include it in the next release.

Recommended Addons
These are some addons that will help organise your UI so that elements may be moved off the world screen and into the artwork areas of this addon. All of these addons use the same libraries as Sunn Viewport Art, which means alot of the code and resources are re-used rather than bloating your UI with lots of different code that does that same thing.

Action Bars - Dominos or Bartender4
Minimap - BasicMinimap and Minimap Button Frame or SexyMap
Chat Frame - Prat
Unit and Raid Frames - Pitbull and Grid

FAQ
Art Packs are not available?
Make sure the art packs are installed in your addons folder, NOT in the SunnArt folder
Translations
If any part of this addon is not available in your language then please contribute to translation at the CurseForge localization page

Error changing solid colors color.

Whenever I try to change the color of the solid color option I get an error. I pick out the color, it changes the color of the background and all, but whenever I click ok I get the following message.

[string "*:OnClick"]:1: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)

If I try to change the background color of my chatbox before I try sunnarts then it works fine, but if I try sunnarts first, then I get the error every time I try to change the color for anything.

Tried this with all addons disabled except sunnart, and also with other addons enabled. So it leads me to believe its a problem with sunnart.

Does this addon actually change the resolution of the viewable image, or does it just put a frame on top of the normal viewable screen (i.e. creating a frame)?

It's main function is to change the resolution of the 3D game world (ie, the viewport). Obviously this would normally create black space around the game world which this addon replaces with textured panels for you to place your interface controls and other 2D elements in.

The viewport functionality of the addon can be disabled so that the panels overlay the game world.

I used to run it as a viewport to get a "widescreen" game world on my 4:3 monitor while making use of all that wasted space it would create. After a while I realised that there is alot of space below my character in the game world that I don't really need to see so I now run it with the panels on top of the game world (viewport disabled).

If you are not sure what it does then i suggest you install it and play with the options.

I spent days being frustrated trying to find that one last piece to tie my UI together. This is the absolute most perfect addon I could have found. Thank so much for making this!

Hi ... Love this mod.

Happy to see itīs still here even that I havenīt played WoW in many years ...

Was wondering if there is any way to change the viewport black part.
As it is now I use a custom image thatīs 2/3 of your pictures so the black backdrop is larger ... but I havenīt found any way to make it smaller (less in height) ...

anyone got any tips? or am I that stupid I havenīt found it in the mods menus? :S

Great addon thank you very much.
One thing bothers me however -> the viewport carry over to screenshots. Would it be possible to fix it so that alt-z 'ing to fullscreen took away the viewport and gave a full image?

I know I could manually take away the resize viewport before fullscreening for screenshots but that's always a bit too much work.

This option is already there, it has been for quite some time.

Try binding your usual "Hide interface" key combo to the Sunnart "hide interface" in your keybindings as mentioned in the Addon Info.

Curious, has this been changed?: If I was in combat, and went to take a screenshot without the UI on, (had the binding done correctly as you've mentioned in the comments) but the art stayed there O.o It'd be fine when not in combat, but when I was (say a boss fight), the art would remain.

Just wondered if it was a known bug, or its been fixed, or its never gonna change?
