ArcHUD3 Classic  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: classic-v6.0.3
by: nyyr, rookdorf

This is an outdated version of ArcHUD3 for WoW Classic. For the current version for classic/retail WoW, please use the main addon: ArcHUD3.

If you have settings from the classic version that you want to migrate to the main addon, just rename the file at WTF\Account\<AccountName>\SavedVariables\ArcHUD3-classic.lua to ArcHUD3.lua while the game is closed.


ArcHUD displays smooth arcs around your character in the middle of the screen to inform you about the health and power (mana, rage, ...) of you, your pet, and your target. In addition, it shows casts, combo points, holy power, soul shards, and a couple of other things. It discretely fades when you are out of combat and at full health/power.

This is a continuation of ArcHUD2 which managed to survive various patches... until the Cataclysm. Thanks to Nenie, the original author of ArcHUD2, for supporting me with this new version.

Please report any bugs or feature requests via the ticket system.

These arcs are currently supported:
  • Health and power (mana, rage, focus, energy, runic power) for player, pet, target, and focus target
  • Player's secondary power (Holy Power, Soul Shards, Chi etc.)
  • Casting/channelling progress for player, target, and focus target
  • Fatigue/breath (mirror timer)
  • Combo points (including unconsumed combo points on previous target, e.g. on dead corpses)
  • Custom (de)buff arcs: Ever wanted to keep track of the stacks and/or remaining times of some specific (de)buffs such as Evangelism, Savage Roar, Beacon of Light, Weakened Soul, etc? Then just create your own custom (de)buff arc for it!

In addition, some additional target information is displayed:
  • Current target (name, class, guild, 3D model)
  • Current (de)buffs on target
  • Target-of-target and target-of-target-of-target

Small warning: Using this addon apparently bears a high risk of getting addicted to it, as these user comments suggest. I received those after taking over the development of ArcHUD when the Cataclysm happened:
  • "...nothing ever quite matched the smooth, clean simplicity of ArcHUD's graceful rings."
  • "Great job!! I've used this addon for years! None of the other HUDs come close to the functionality and elegance of ArcHUD."
  • "Thanks for the work on it so far, much more lightweight than IceHud!"
  • "Was staring at the various icehud/metahud alternatives with discomfort and sadness right after the patch [4.0]."
  • "Awesome! Thank you so much for that miracle!"
  • "Thank you so much for continuing this fantastic addon."
  • "...nothing could compare to ArcHUD..."
  • "For a whole 4years I had this mod and I missed it so much in the passed few weeks. I tried other HUD mods but they were too in my face >.< . Best HUD mod IMO! Thanks for resurrecting an old friend "
  • "Loving the new ArcHUD my favorite HUD by far "
  • "I don't think I could play wow without this addon "
  • "I've actually grown kind of dependent on it because I'll occasionally run out of Mana/ die without this."
  • "Hey mate, just came to thank You again for taking over this beauty, awesome job!"
  • "THAT addon! So long I have been searching for a replacement when the development stopped, thanks for bringing it back to live!"

So use it at your own risk

Smile Happy happy joy joy!

Oh, how I missed this addon. I vaguely remember struggling to keep it going for a while after support ended way back when, until I eventually had to give up on it. So nice to have it back.

Ähm, that's not possible - nobody requested that during the past eleven years to my knowledge. Simply stop dying :P

Of course, you can always create a feature request on Github.

Not sure if it will effect negatively but I changed lines, 1151 and 1162 of Ring Template.lua (in the Ghost Mode section) to say "Pulse:Stop()" instead of "Pulse:Play()".
Seems to be working fine.


I will never die again...maybe...


Thanks for responding

I just found this addon...

... and I'm having trouble figuring out which arc represents what. Is there a guide somewhere, or a graphic with each arc labeled?

Thanks

No, but feel free to create such a guide ;-)

It shouldn't be so complicated, though: In the default setup, there is only your health and mana/power arcs and your target's health arc. In addition, you see your and your target's castbars. If you have a pet, you see some miniture health/power arcs in the middle, too.

If you are unsure, go to ArcHUD's addon settings and disable/enable each arc and see which one disappears.

I haven't used Quartz and never did such thing. But from the description of Quartz, many of it's features are already available in ArcHUD: Casting Bar, Buffs, Latency, Mirror, ... Others are not, but could certainly be added in a similar way.

There are plenty of example Rings in ArcHUD, just have a look at them (in the Rings folder). If you were able to create a new one, feel free to create a Pull Request ;-) Otherwise create a ticket on Github with a feature request.

wotlk update

Hi, I was just wondering if there's a planned wotlk update
Right now the only thing that doesn't work for me in pre-patch is the cast bar, but I had that issue back in TBC too. I know there was a variable I could change in the addon, or maybe delete something for the cast bar to work properly. But I don't remember what it was.
I think it had something to do with game version.
