ScrollTip (1.0)

Shaktar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:02:22 +0000

ScrollTip is a simple function which displays a large movable scrollable tooltip given a multi-line string. This string is usually instructions for a ui mod. If kept in a separate file, these instructions are known as a "read me" or help file. ScrollTip lets ui mod authors include the "read me" within the ui mod itself.

The user can scroll the text within the tooltip by using the mouse wheel. Since ScrollTip is rather simple, there is no scroll bar. The text can be quite long but if it's enormously long, the user would get tired of rolling the mouse wheel to scroll to the bottom of the text. If your text is so long that scrolling with the mouse wheel takes far too much time, then you would have to break up the text into smaller chunks, or use a more advanced function than ScrollTip.

The text can include three very simple html tags: big, b, i. Text within these tags are not displayed bigger, bolder or italicized, however. Since ScrollTip is rather simple, those tags are just turned into appropriately colorized text. For example, big is displayed in bright yellow, b in pastel yellow, and i in translucent yellow.

The size of the scrollable tooltip can be 'small', 'medium', or 'large'. If the size is omitted, medium is assumed. If the size is small, a small font is used because the normal font does not scroll well in a small tooltip. The normal font is used in medium and large tooltips.

ScrollTip is really easy to add to your ui mod.
1) Put ScrollTip.lua in your ui mod directory
2) Add ScrollTip.lua to your .toc file.
3) In your lua code, call ScrollTip(YourHelpString)

Once ScrollTip has been added to your ui mod and your ui mod is running, you can type /scrolltip to display these instructions and information on using ScrollTip. You can also type /scrolltip small to view a small tooltip and /scrolltip large to view a large tooltip. This way you can compare the sizes and see which size works best for you.

The ScrollTip function returns the frame containing the scrollable tooltip but it can be ignored since the user can close the tooltip themselves.

Example function calls:
ScrollTip('Hello World!', 'small')
ScrollTip('>big>')
tip = ScrollTip('save return value to close tip later')

ScrollTip is just a simple function to easily display a help file and there are no plans to add any features. I hope ScrollTip fits your needs.

GammaVision (1.0.0)

Saeris — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:25:32 +0000

Overview

This addon provides the user with a simple slash command ("/gavi"), or a keybinding, to toggle the use of high gamma, which is normally only accessible through the Video Options screen. This is primarily useful in particularly dark areas, where the extra gamma can reveal the details of your surroundings. If you wish to use a different gamma setting, open GammaVision_Main.lua and edit the line which reads "local l_GAMMA_VALUE = 0.5;". The closer the value is to 1.0 without going over, the less bright the screen will be. The screen can also be made even brighter by placing the value closer to 0.0.

1.4 texture parts (1.4)

Shiny <3 — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:04:12 +0000

abandoned this project as i couldnt take it anywhere.

For those who want to use the panels know this. The chatlog panels actionbar and combatlog panels have no bottom because theyre meant to sit directly onto the viewport =) clever eh?

MTno (1.0.0)

rdillman — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:13:11 +0000

MTno is simple addon that puts up a small box that displays the name of the current chat channel in it's color.

When you press the chat key, the background of the box turns from grey to the color of the chat channel ... to alert you that you are in THAT channel.

Optionally, each of three chat channels can be associated with a sound effect ... a chime that sounds one, two or three times.

You may not need this, but I was constantly making mistells as I switched from guild, to whisper, to party ... and this cut my MTs down to nearly zero.

Right-click to hide the window, type /MTno show to show it again.

havocCoords (1.0)

havoc74 — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:46:18 +0000

This is a neat little coordinate system that display the player's current coordinates in the minimap as well as the worldmap. In the worldmap display, the current mouse cursor location as well as the current player position are displayed. I cannot take full credit for this addon, for it's original author is unknown to me, I have updated it and rewrote it for Patch 2.4. Enjoy!!

Buffer (1.0.0)

rdillman — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:02:27 +0000

Buffer is a collection of five independent, small windows that show information for buffing. Buffer does not automate buffing, it helps you find the players who need to be buffed. The windows show:

Target buffs: all castable buffs on your cureent target
Nearby buffs: players in range who need to be buffed
Special buffs: your buffs on players you have chosen to watch
Notepad: your notes on which buffs to put on which classes or players
Health panel: stripped down unit display for healers

Nearby Buffs can be clicked to target the player - useful in groups when you need to buff and rebuff. Notepad and Special Buffs are useful in raid groups.

When used with the Health panel, Target Buffs helps you rebuff "on the fly" as you are healing.

Nemes — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:52:09 +0000

BHide (1.0)

erica647 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:49:16 +0000

This is a very simple mod to hide the border on the chat edit box. Credit for the code goes to dylanm... I just packaged this to work as a mod. I have only tested this to work with Basic Chat Mods but should work ok with other chat mods as long as the other mod in use isn't also trying to change the border as well. Installation is the same as any other mod... just unzip the file to your addons folder.

MacTools (1.00)

Macniel — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:53:35 +0000

Ever wanted to know how much health a raidmember has or even wanted to know if this raidmember gained Aggro? And wanted this information as an addition to blizzards raidframes ?

You need This AddOn!

This Addon is powered by the Ace2 - Ace3 whatever Framework with BanzaiLib it came with these Libs internel, you can also use (like with every other addon) externals.

I hope you will find this little collection useful as I do.

peace through power! ... eh that was another film :D

TMMC: Tell Moosha My Crits! (2.4)

Agamenoar — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:56:14 +0000

TMMC: Tell Moosha My Crits!

Once upon a time, there was a Shaman on Garona named Moosha. Moosha loved to share his crits with the hunters on MC raids.

One day, the hunters decided to share their own crits with Moosha. But then, they became lazy. Lucky for them, one hunter could code.

Ag sat down with a pizza and a case of Diet Pepsi, and, with help from his trusty cat, he put together an addon overnight. This addon was simplistic, and merely sent a single tell to a single player on every critical, like this: '1234'

TMMC was born.

All the hunters rejoiced and loaded this addon. Moosha shed many tears that day and has sworn to never again drop a Grace of Air totem.

As more guildmates loaded the addon, more features were... 'requested.' Today, TMMC can send crits from melee or spells, even your pet's. If you're really sadistic, all your hits can be spewed forth.

It can send the message to a single person, or several via whisper. It can share in a chat channel, in guild, raid, party, say, emote, or yell. It can even just report the text to your screen if you're not the sharing type. You can change the message format easily.

TMMC requires no other addons to function. If you get in trouble for spamming someone who's asked you to stop, it's your own fault for being dumb. :)

Please let me know of any technical problems with this addon. If you wish to shower me in gold, I can be found on horde side Blackhand, 'Ag'. If you wish to complain about how this addon ruined your life, Moosha will field your complaints. He loves getting crits. Really.

YouWereKilledBy (1.0)

lifetapt — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:56:21 +0000

About YouWereKilledBy
YouWereKilledBy is a very small, simple addon that displays who landed the killing blow on you when you die in PvP combat. Upon death, a red "You were killed by Lolmoonfire" message will appear near the top of the screen.

The addon currently does not have any settings, you just install it and that's it. I may add some settings to it in the future, but for now I wanted this to be a very simple and tiny addon.

The code itself is an excerpt from the upcoming version of my other project, Paranoia Enemy Player Alert. Please check it out.

Go ahead and post suggestions/feedback/requests in the comments section, I'll try to reply to all of them.

Magic Marker (20080621.1253)

neotron — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:11:29 +0000

Magic Marker lets you easily classify and mark mobs simply by moving the mouse over them while pressing a modifier key. This allows incredibly fast marking of trash groups. Although not necessary for the addon to function, you can configure the priority and crowd control methods you wish to use on a per mob basis. You can also customize the marks to use for tank targets and each crowd control method. This allows for consistent marking of targets to tank and crowd control in raid and party situations

Features
Mob-level configuration to specify the priority, desired category (i.e Tank or Crowd Control) and applicable crowd control methods.
Automatically learns new crowd control methods as they are discovered.
Prioritize raid icon configuration for tank targets and all crowd control methods.
Prioritize crowd control methods.
Separate priorities for crowd controlling and tanking (optional).
Marks targets in priority order simply my mousing over them.
Automatically learn about new mobs as you encounter them.
Ability to unmark and mark targets manually at the press of a button.
Ability to ignore mobs you don't want to mark.
Never use more raid icons for a specific CC method than there are members of the class in the raid/party (i.e if there are two mages in the raid, there will never be more than 2 targets marked for sheeping).
Option to honor externally marked targets (i.e if someone manually marked a target MagicMarker won't clobber it).
Option to preserve marks on the raid members.
Ability to save a template of the marks on the raid and recall them (not persistant).
Ability to mark members of the raid based on some preset rules.
Full fledged dynamically generated UI to configure all the details (while using minimal amount of memory).
Network syncing for marking, unmarking and sharing of the mob database and mark/cc settings.
Clears used marks when mob dies.
Send a list of marks, mob name and kill/cc method to the raid / party chat channel.
Keybindings to manipulate mob configuration (priorities, category) without opening the mob database, makes initial configuration and adjustments easier.
Ability to select minimum number of mobs to always mark as tank targets.
Ability to import data from MagicMarker_Data (included in the package).

TODO
Add support for MobSpells (extra, but useful, information).
Ability to assign tanks / CCers per symbol (and/or do it automatically - use oRA2 MT list for tanks, and smart order for others (i.e hibernate = boomkin => resto => feral)).
Ability to exclude certain specs from CC counts (i.e never count a feral druid for hibernate).
Improve networking code make multiple users in a raid work better.
Block use of BigWigs specific raid icon when engaged in a boss fight.
More templates for marking key players in the raid such as "mark all healers", "mark all tanks" etc.

FuBar - ChannelFu (2.4.2)

Amethyst — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:23:46 +0000

THIS IS A FUBAR MOD AND REQUIRES FUBAR TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.

ChannelFu is an adaptation of a German mod called ChannelWatchFu and uses much of the same code. It's been trimmed down to remove what I feel was some extraneous coding and functionality, whilst adding in additional functions I felt were useful.

The goal was to provide as close to GuildFu as possible, without being in a guild.

The primary use for this mod is for situations where you belong to a channel that organises activites, such as heroics or raiding, outside of your guild.

Using ChannelFu, you can easily see how many people are online within channels you monitor and, using the "sort by class" function, you can easily check a specific class to see who is online.

Additional functions include:
* Initiate whisper with person in channel.
* Invite person in channel to group/raid.
* Option to display who in the channel is already in your group/raid.
* Option to display Zone and/or guild of players in the channel.

Party CC Tracker (rsomethign)

Shadowd — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:33:03 +0000

Quick addon, tracks the time left on CCs your party uses. Due to things like DR, talents and lag this uses syncing to figure out the time left or when a timer fades if the CC is removed early, meaning if you want timers from someone they have to use this mod if they don't want others CCs they can simply run it in silent mode.

Slash command /partycc or /pcc

Beta, may have bugs, ect, ect, ect.
