Ara Broker XP  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r11
by: vikingking, Aranarth

Version R8 and higher has been tested with Classic, BfA Retail, and the Shadowlands Beta.
You only need the current version for all your XP reporting needs.


This data broker plugin provides an ASCII bar representing XP: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Click the ASCII bar to display config menu. You can change:
- the pattern used in the ASCII bar (default is |).
- the length / number of pattern repetitions (default is 30).
- colors for earned, rested and remaining xp.
- the thousand separator / the character used between groups of 3 digits for better reading or large numbers.

r11
  • Updated toc to 90001
  • Code cleanup, fix indentation in code

r10
  • Marked WoW 9.x as Released Version

r9
  • Cleaned up some issues with the code

r8
  • Updated to work properly with Shadowlands Beta

r7
  • Change icon in broker to something supported by both Retail and Classic

r6
  • Update ToC

r5
  • Updated and tested under 8.0.1 and the BFA Beta

r4
  • Fixed the "1 bubblebubbles left" message issue.

r3
  • Click the block to access options. You no longer need to edit the lua file.
  • Max level is not hardcoded anymore: it will scale with expansions.
  • In the tooltip: added number of bubbles left next to level.
  • The thousand separator defaults to a comma if your client is enUS, or a space otherwise.

r2
  • Added variable "thousandSeparator": in the tooltip, it's the character between groups of 3 digits. Defaults to " ".
  • Added the LDB attribute "type" (set to "data source") for better recognition & display integration.
  • Small code tweak in FormatXP function.

r1
  • Initial release.

Looks like this auto-disables itself when you hit max level.

If you comment out the first line in the Ara_Broker_XP.lua file (add: "--") you can see your current level 90 XP on the broker bar.

By far my favorite xp bar!

For some reason I'm getting an error when trying to chat colors by right clicking on the XP bar and going to Colors.

Code:
Message: [string "ColorPickerOkayButton:OnClick"]:2: attempt to call field 'func' (a nil value)
Time: 10/29/11 15:30:31
Count: 6
Stack: [string "*:OnClick"]:2: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Locals: self = ColorPickerOkayButton {
 0 = <userdata>
}
button = "LeftButton"
down = false
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = "attempt to call field 'func' (a nil value)"
No solution so far searching the internet. I'm using the addon through DockingStation. All I really want to do is change the purple XP text color to something else. It's extremely difficult to read as purple text.

Re: Slight bug when at less than 5% XP left to go

@Taryble:

Thank you for pointing that issue it's now fixed. It was a typo with the "|4" syntax.

Here is a better format string exemple: "%i |4mouse:mice;".
As you have probably already guessed, it's a singular/plural selector: it looks at the preceding number (the argument provided for "%i") and if it's greater than 1 it displays the 2nd string (between ":" and ";"), otherwise it displays the first.

Slight bug when at less than 5% XP left to go

The bug is in the "x bubbles to go" display text - when you're at 1 bubble, it says "1 bubblebubbles left".

I looked into editing the lua for the addon, but I'm not sure how you're picking which string to display (bubble or bubbles) - I've never bothered much with the :format() on the end of a string (well, okay, bothered with it at all).

Also, what does the "|4" mean on that line in the lua code? (line 172, which seems to be the line where everything is done involving this bug )

Thanks
I like the "XX Bubbles Left" reminder--that's the number I tell my friends, because most don't give a hoot about percentages, unlike you and I do.

The default XP bar has 20 bubbles, when talking to people who haven't an XP addon they will often tell you how many bubbles are left for level instead of %.

To make it work with Cataclysm on line of 4 of Ara_Broker_XP.lua

Code:
if( UnitLevel"player" == 85 )then return end
Change the 80 to 85

Well, we'll see what the Cataclysm beta brings, but for the WotLK beta, WoWInterface was able to secure beta keys for just about all us addon authors. I'm optomistic that you'll get one for next xpac.

Aranarth, I know you're not playing right now, but you still seem to be semi-active, so I'll make this feature request anyways. What would you think about adding a yellow (or other) bar coloring representing the xp you'll have after you hand in all completed quests?

I think this would be a wonderful feature, because then I would know when I've hit the threshold while doing quests of when I can hearth back to my questing hub, and turn in all my quests and get a level from it.

As far as I can figure, you'd have to watch quest status update events, and whenever one is marked completed, scan the quest log, and total the xp it says you'll earn from completed quests. Also watch gear changed events, and rescan the quest log anytime a piece of heirloom gear is equipped or removed, as that changes the expected amount of xp gain.

If you are disinclined to implement this yourself, or just don't have the time, would you merge it if I submitted a patch file to you with this feature? Or should I not waste my time?

Thanks for everything, I still love all your mods!
The idea is interesting, I may look into it if I plan to make a bigger XP plugin, but that's certainly not before the beta of Cataclysm (if I get a key, which is unlikely).
