I just wanted to ask if there is an option to disable the regular bars. Right not they are running on minimum Scale but i want them gone. I cant find an option for it.

Thx

how can I change the listing in the distance with bigwigs? it's all over with dbm / range xx!
but what am I doing this for bigwigs?

Hi, I posted this on the wowinterface comments but thought I'd comment here as well. It seems there are no warnings for Blast Nova on Nefarian which is a big problem if you are an interrupter on that fight.

I've just started using BigWigs so would probably struggle to implement it myself, it would be great if it could be added so I can move to this mod full time.

The relevant code from DBM is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/336836/

They have regular warnings for casts on each platform and special warnings/timers for the add that you are targeting, the regular warning seemed superfluous to me and rather confusing so I think a screen flash/alarm in BigWigs for the mob you are targeting would be perfect.

Does this function look ok to you?

function mod:BlastNova(...)
	local sGUID = select(11, ...)
	if sGUID == UnitGUID("target") then
		self:Message(80734, L.blastnova_message, "Important", 80734, "Alarm")
		self:FlashShake(80734)
	end
end

Fine, just ignore my posts, thanks for nothing. I can see you are online. I'm going back to DBM, screw this addon.

I have a question about the 3rd party skinning? Since Tukui V13 came out i edited the Bigwigs built in skin to pull their custom coloring functions from their addon engine.

[PHP]do
local T, C, L = unpack(Tukui)
mult=T.mult

-- TukUI Bar Styler
local function createBackground()
local bg = CreateFrame("Frame")
bg:SetTemplate("",true)
return bg
end

local function freeStyle(bar)
local bg = bar:Get("bigwigs:tukui:bg")
if not bg then return end
bg:SetParent(UIParent)
bg:Hide()
end

local function styleBar(bar)
local bg = nil
bg = createBackground()
bg:SetParent(bar)
bg:ClearAllPoints()
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", -2, 2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", bar, "BOTTOMLEFT", -2, -2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 2, 2)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:Show()
bar:Set("bigwigs:tukui:bg", bg)
end

barStyles.TukUI = {
apiVersion = 1,
version = 1,
GetSpacing = function(bar) return 8 end,
ApplyStyle = styleBar,
BarStopped = freeStyle,
GetStyleName = function() return "TukUI" end,
}
end[/PHP]

My question is since this is my own little skinning edit, and i highly doubt yall would want to put it in base line since it assumes you have Tukui installed, everytime i try to make it into a 3rd party skinning addon using the API in barstyles.txt It does not add the custom skin via the registerMyStyle() function. I confirm the function is running but its not adding anything into the Bigwigs Bars styles plugin.

[PHP]local T, C, L = unpack(select(2, ...))

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

local reason = nil

-- TukUI Bar Styler
local function createBackground()
local bg = CreateFrame("Frame")
bg:SetTemplate("",true)
return bg
end

local function freeStyle(bar)
local bg = bar:Get("bigwigs:tukui:bg")
if not bg then return end
bg:SetParent(UIParent)
bg:Hide()
end

local function styleBar(bar)
local bg = nil
bg = createBackground()
bg:SetParent(bar)
bg:ClearAllPoints()
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", -2, 2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", bar, "BOTTOMLEFT", -2, -2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 2, 2)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:Show()
bar:Set("bigwigs:tukui:bg", bg)
end

f:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

local function registerMyStyle()
BigWigs:GetPlugin("Bars"):RegisterBarStyle("TukUIV13", {
apiVersion = 1,
version = 1,
GetSpacing = function(bar) return 8 end,
ApplyStyle = styleBar,
BarStopped = freeStyle,
GetStyleName = function() return "TukUIV13" end,
})
end

f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, msg)
if event == "ADDON_LOADED" then
if not reason then reason = (select(6, GetAddOnInfo("BigWigs_Plugins"))) end
if reason == "MISSING" and msg == "BigWigs_Core" then
registerMyStyle()
print("Hello")
elseif msg == "BigWigs_Plugins" then
registerMyStyle()
print("Hello")
end
end
end)[/PHP]

I am just wondering what I am doing wrong, >___> since i would rather not edit every alpha build..... lol.

Also Love the addon, and haters gonna hate.

Yeah made those changes and it still not working, I even just took the api from the barstyles.txt and copy pasted that over my code and tried to add that and i still didnt see a barstyle other then the base 3.

I must be doing something seriously wrong? do you think it would be better if it was its own addon called BigWigs_customstyles instead of a embedded module of the Tukui?

Seems I got it working.


[PHP]local T, C, L = unpack(select(2, ...)) -- Import: T - functions, constants, variables; C - config; L - locales

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")


-- TukUI Bar Styler
local function createBackground()
local bg = CreateFrame("Frame")
bg:SetTemplate("",true)
return bg
end

local function freeStyle(bar)
local bg = bar:Get("bigwigs:tukui:bg")
if not bg then return end
bg:SetParent(UIParent)
bg:Hide()
end

local function styleBar(bar)
local bg = nil
bg = createBackground()
bg:SetParent(bar)
bg:ClearAllPoints()
bg:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", -2, 2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", bar, "BOTTOMLEFT", -2, -2)
bg:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 2, 2)
bg:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")
bg:Show()
bar:Set("bigwigs:tukui:bg", bg)
end

local function registerMyStyle()
f:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
BigWigs:GetPlugin("Bars"):RegisterBarStyle("Methylui", {
apiVersion = 1,
version = 1.2,
GetSpacing = function(bar) return 8 end,
ApplyStyle = styleBar,
BarStopped = freeStyle,
GetStyleName = function() return "MethylUI" end,
})
end

local reason = nil

f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, msg)
if event == "ADDON_LOADED" then
if not reason then reason = (select(6, GetAddOnInfo("BigWigs_Plugins"))) end
if reason == "MISSING" and msg == "BigWigs" then
registerMyStyle()
for k, v in pairs(barStyles) do
barStyleRegister[k] = v:GetStyleName()
end
BigWigs:GetPlugin("Bars"):SetBarStyle("Methylui")
elseif msg == "BigWigs_Plugins" then
registerMyStyle()
for k, v in pairs(barStyles) do
barStyleRegister[k] = v:GetStyleName()
end
BigWigs:GetPlugin("Bars"):SetBarStyle("Methylui")
end
end
end)[/PHP]

But to get this working i had to make barStyles, barStyleRegister Global. I dont know if i am doing a round about way to getting it to work, but it works i guess. Also every time I open the config menu I see
[PHP]BigWigs_Plugins-r8161\Bars.lua:809: No style with the ID "Methylui" has been registered. Reverting to default style.[/PHP]

Can anyone help me identify this, please?



It looks like the BigWigs proximity window but shows the data from the minimap and the circle turns red/green when people are in/out of range. I've looked around and it doesn't seem to be an option so I'm guessing it must be a plugin or another addon.

Quote from Rabbit

That is indeed the BigWigs proximity display. If the circle is red, people are too close to you, if it's green you are safe.

To turn it off and go back to the old name-based display, open the BW options and click the "Configure ..." button, then the Proximity tab and uncheck the "Graphical display" option at the top.

Thanks for replying :) I was using r8120 and didn't have it yet. I saw the new proximity in a boss video on youtube from 4-5 days ago and didn't think to check the alphas since I had updated just the day before, pretty dumb in hindsight.

Anyway it looks really nice, good work!

The sense of self-entitlement that some people seem to possess never ceases to amaze me.

What amazes me are authors who ignore reasonable questions and are apparently too important to even reply with a simple "we have no plans to include that functionality".

By the way, there are also no warnings for Shadow Nova on Halfus, Depravity on Cho'Gall in addition to Blast Nova on Nefarian, making this addon pretty useless for anyone that interrupts in current content.

Thanks got it all working now : ) .

Please, for the sake of my good morning, go troll somewhere else. If you would have read just a little bit up this thread you would have figured out that at least one author isn't reading the thread very often. Anyway..
What's the point in having a warning for a ability specific players have to interrupt anyway? This is a special task, players who are on it know what to do, they won't need a big fat warning from BW.
