Hi there,

I was wondering if there is an addon that shows the swing timer for auto attacks? I know Quartz does it for abilities but I don't think it does for auto attacks.

My reason for wanting to track this is this: I seem to have rather lower DPS than I think I should, and when I look at other rogues' logs with similar gear/boss kill time, my Melee damage is usually lower than theres (yes I have /startattack in everything) and my poison damage is usually lower too (yes I pool). Heres a log: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...=10492&e=10836

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Whammy is inspired by Quartz swing timer.

Don't think this addon supports 5.0, any other suggestions?

Does anyone know of an add on that will show my a numerical display of my Feral Druid's energy? I don't really want an energy bar as such, just the actual number (amount) of energy I have at any time in a format that's easy to see and can moved about on my screen. I do use Power Auras, so if anyone does know if that can done via PA, please also let me know.

Thanks.

Ah sorry about that. Should have paid a bit more attention while looking around
Anyway, from what I can tell most swing timers are disabled for dual wielding. Tested Quartz and AzCastBar swing timers, and they won't work while dual wielding. Can't seem to find a swing timer that supports dual wield and is up to date.

Hello everyone,

I was looking through a bunch of old wow screenshots and came across this old UI i used back in wrath. I can't remember the name of the addon that i used for the spray paint sort of look behind all of my action bars and on the edges of the screen, etc. Does anyone know what it is called? or if it is updated for 5.0?



Thanks for any help!

No worries, effort was appreciated

It's more than likely done with kgpanels.

Hey all.

Redoing my Unit Frames in Pitbull, and wanted my health text to be class colored based on Unit type.

In the custom LUA area, I've been trying:

local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return VeryShort(HP(unit))

However, it's not changing to the appropriate class color, only staying white.

Additionally, I'm also attempting to color my energy bar by energy type: Rage, Energy, Mana, etc.

Currently It's set with:

return"%s", Short(Power(unit),true)


Thanks for any help, and for your time!

local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,VeryShort(HP(unit)))

local r,g,b = select(3,UnitPowerType(unit))
return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,Short(Power(unit),true))

Anyone know of an updated font addon? Looking to change the whole UI font, not just chat text or specific player frame text. Example: default NPC name font, quest log, text on items. I believe fontain used to do something like this but it doesn't seem to be working correctly and oudated. I also tried creating the <wowdirectory>/fonts folder and renaming my desired font to the wow font, but that doesn't seem to work either.

EDIT: looks like fontain is editing everything but default NPC name plates?

local r,g,b = select(3,UnitPowerType(unit))
return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,Short(Power(unit),true))

Thanks for your time, Treeston.

I imported these in to Pitbull a moment ago. The first isn't working. It makes all texts disappear due to an error somehow.

The second does, in fact, change the power font color, but it unfortunately changes it to what appears to be black. Edit: I noticed now that on my previous post, I didn't specify the font, not the bar. >.< Any other workarounds you might suggest?


@Tygera: Fonter is great for this. http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/fonter

I downloaded and tried this as well. It doesn't seem to edit default NPC name text.

edit: Odd i logged on another character and now it seems to be working? I even restarted a few times before this. I'm not sure how I got it working, but perhaps I did. /shurg lol

Hm, so those are fractions of one? Couldn't remember.
Fixed.

Neither of these work as well. Both error and disable all text. :/ Ty for trying anyhow.

Hm, that's wierd. Could you post the errors, please?

Any suggestions for an addon to bind spells without placing them on action bars? Right now I'm using bindpad, but it has some conflicts with clique and has been generally acting out (like binds just decide to stop working midfight).

I downloaded bugcatcher to try and get the applicable errors to you. After doing so, when I change to any of these LUA codes, it puts {err} in the place of said text.

This one I tried first:

local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,VeryShort(HP(unit)))

Bugcatcher did not give me a LUA error code however in the chat window. Just the text in the frame.

Just tried the second as well, and exact same thing happened. It did, however, post some LUA errors on startup, before I attempted to paste in the LUA codes you gave me. I'll relog and copy the chat log to see if there's applicable errors involved.

Edit: List of the bugs on startup:

The first bug is:

5x PitBull4_HideBlizzard-v4.0.0-beta40\HideBlizzard.lua:133: attempt to index global "CompactRaidFrameManager" (a nil value)
PitBull4_HideBlizzard-v4.0.0-beta40\HideBlizzard.lua:133: in function "func"

Locals:
nil

Second Bug is:

1.0\CallbackHandler-1.0.lua:147>
<string>:"safecall Dispatcher[1]":4: in function <string>:"safecall Dispatcher[1]":4
<in C code>
<string>:"safecall Dispatcher[1]":13: in function "?"

Bagnon-5.0.9\libs\AceEvent-3.0\AceEvent-3.0-3.lua:52: in function <Bagnon\libs\AceEvent-3.0\AceEvent-3.0.lua:51>

Locals:
nil

Again, when I type in any of the suggested LUA into Pitbull, the frames simply spits back out {err} in the text field. Not really sure how to fix it.

I am currently fixing up my UI and testing out various addons. I am currently in the need of an addon that can manipulate/alter the appearance of my experience/reputation bars. Would anyone know of an addon that could do this?
