AddOn Request: Poison Buff Icons

[Flugger]

Hi there,

I'm looking for an addon which will simply replace the icons of my weapons with icons of the actual poisons you're using! I've tried Poisonous which puts a little letter above each of your weapon enchant buffs, that's almost what I want, however the letter is kind of too small to notice properly.

Anyone seen anything like this?

If not, this shouldn't require much lua code to complete?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

Googled it and the only things that came up were the addon you already use, and Ara Broker WeaponBuffer where you can choose to show the icon of the poison in the frame.

It's a data broker plugin though, it won't replace your Blizzard Buff icons.

Example:

Here you go:

local poisonTextures = {}
local function f(iID)
	local name,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,tex = GetItemInfo(iID)
	if name == "Mind-Numbing Poison" then name = "Mind Numbing Poison" end
	poisonTextures["^"..name] = tex
end
f(3775)
f(2892)
f(6947)
f(5237)
f(10918)
local function hastex(x)
	local text = x:GetText()
	for match, tex in pairs(poisonTextures) do
		if text:match(match) then
			return tex
		end
	end
end
local tooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip","PoisonScanTooltip",nil,"GameTooltipTemplate")
local function s(f)
	return f and f:IsShown()
end
local function get(slot)
	tooltip:SetOwner(UIParent,"ANCHOR_NONE")
	tooltip:SetInventoryItem("player",slot)
	local c = 1
	local l = PoisonScanTooltipTextLeft1
	while s(l) do
		local t = hastex(l)
		if t then return t end
		c=c+1
		l = _G[("PoisonScanTooltipTextLeft%d"):format(c)]
	end
end
local giit = GetInventoryItemTexture
function GetInventoryItemTexture(unit,slot)
	if UnitIsUnit("player",unit) then
		if (slot == 16) then
			if GetWeaponEnchantInfo() then
				local t = get(16)
				if t then
					return t
				end
			end
		elseif (slot == 17) then
			if select(4,GetWeaponEnchantInfo()) then
				local t = get(17)
				if t then
					return t
				end
			end
		elseif (slot == 18) then
			local t = get(18)
			if t then
				return t
			end
		end
	end
	return giit(unit,slot)
end

How to use. Untested. Report back with issues.

That's awesome Treeston!

If I was to add for thrown weapon aswell I would just have to add:

elseif (slot == 17) then
			if select(4,GetWeaponEnchantInfo()) then
				local t = get(17)
				if t then
					return t
				end
			end
		end

right?

Also, just a minor bug, nothing big, but for some reason the distance between my poison buffs and the other buffs seems to be more clumped up for some reason, a quick fix for it? This image will explain the problem better:

Hm, that shouldn't happen obviously but can't see why my code would influence it I'm afraid. Can't think of any quick fix either.

PS: Expanded my code above to include thrown weapons.

No worries, it's not a huge problem. However, all poisons are now working correctly, except for Mind-Numbing for some reason I double checked the unit ID in your code with wowhead and it's indeed right. However, I noticed something strange, the item Mind-Numbing Poison is written "Mind-Numbing" while the weapon enchant spell is written "Mind Numbing" - could this have any influence on the above code? Thanks in advance

Yeah, that was indeed it - I actually figured it out on my own just by doing some debugging

Edited the f() function:

local function f(iID)
	local name,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,tex = GetItemInfo(iID)
	if name == "Mind-Numbing Poison" then name = "Mind Numbing Poison" end
	poisonTextures["^"..name] = tex
end

Probably not the best solution, but does the trick

Thanks a lot for your help though! +rep
