[WA2] - Eclipse Bar Enhanced - Lappee & Cyous

[Cyous]

WARLORDS OF DRAENOR :: Version 2.2
Updated for: 6.2.3 (20886)

Please remove ALL previous groups of this Eclipse Bar after successfully importing the new version. If you need to re-import anything, delete the group that needs to be replaced.

If you are using this Eclipse Bar, please let me know of any bugs/errors you find. I don't think there will be any, but sometimes that's not how it works.

Before you import these strings, please note the following details:
1.) There is custom Lua, but no malicious code was written.
2.) Dimensions: 300 x 68 pixels
3.) Customization is always possible, but not recommend beyond changing things like icons and spell IDs (for trinkets and such). Basically, don't touch the Width and Height sliders.

In order to move the Eclipse Bar to your liking, select the entire group in the WeakAuras2 pane. Move the group to your location of choice. Use the X and Y coordinates at the bottom of the GROUP pane.

By default, the coordinates are as follows:
Bars :: (0, -250)
Trackers :: (0, -250)

This version includes a set of trackers for the Nithramus, the All-seer. (included in the Tracking (Core) import.) Since many of you have modified the bar to your liking, I have including a separate string to import if you specifically want those updated strings:


Update for 6.2.3
(Does NOT include core modules):

Bars 2.2 (Core) (6.2.3):

Tracker 2.2 (Core) (6.2.3):
http://pastebin.com/BqCLFfKj




Please feel free to edit the Tracking auras with your trinkets, or peak buffs, or anything your want. Please to be sure edit both the background icon and the foreground icon. There is enough room for 4 icons on either side, and if you may be able to fit a short-height bar if you move the group down.

Previous versions:

I strongly recommend you do not adjust the sizes of the bars, unless you're willing to change A LOT of coordinates.

Thanks dude nice work.

WOD is on the horizon. But I think now is a good time to publicize the effort Lappee and myself have gone through to create this (not very much tbh.)

BalancePowerTracker (BPT) will not work in WOD, so we decided to make something we'd like to use. Lappee was kind enough to save me a few hours of work to create a function switch will convert our current Energy into a proper timer to correctly assume the time remaining until a transition point. Transition points are "0 energy" and "Peak" When we sit at 0 energy, it takes exactly 8sec to reach maximum Eclipse, then 2 sec of "peak" then it goes down the slope -- which is 2sec of "peak" followed by 8sec of the transition period leading to 0 energy.

Its not "exactly" 8 seconds, it just rounds up to it with 1 decimal.

Also all credit for this thing goes to Cyous, I didnt really do anything but throw out ideas.

WA doesn't update that fast.

Shouldnt it update on every frame? Get better computer if thats the case...

My computer is old, mid-end from early Cata (4 years).
i3 @ 3.1GHz
ATI Radeon 5770 1GB

I get nice fps in 10's, but progression is a nightmare at the start of encounters (3-10 fps depending on adds).

Hardware isnt my forte.

Love the addon. I can't figure out the rotation though.
Any plans for a WoD boomkin guide pre WoD? Would love to know how to play my class again on beta. Atm I just hit target dummy's and log off.

I have plans for WOD. Been waiting for the rotation to finalize before considering the project. I absolutely love TellMeWhen's Meta-Icon feature for the purpose of handholders. Having both TMW and WAs is a little silly though.

I'll update the Moonkin guide on the WoW forums fairly soon. Though, it's pretty much keep DOTs rolling and cast SS near peak Eclipse (on the way up).

I've never used Weak Auras, so, how do I use these strings, exactly?

After downloading WeakAuras2 and SharedMedia, simply do...

Copy the string
"/wa" -> this pulls up the WeakAuras options
Click "New"
Select "Import"
Paste the string

Repeat the process for each group.

Sounds easy enough..

Does SharedMedia have to be stand-alone, or can one embedded in another addon do the trick too? I hate having libs as standalone addons..

It's not a lib per se. It's a "control panel" addon that, and I quote, "Inserts media(fonts, bars, borders, etc) into LibSharedMedia's storage. They can then be selected by any addon that supports LibSharedMedia, a lot of them do."


Looks great tbh. Fine job guys!

I think I'd like a starfall bar and timer like the inc/ca only above the bar instead of the plain text/timer you have currently.

+1 from me.

Feel free to copy the CA bar, move it up ~40 pixels, and double the length of the bar to 300 pixels (i think). I tried a Starfall bar in earlier versions, and I could not make one I liked. The issue with it was i love the Starfall pseudo-pulse effect on the bars.

I still think it would be the best to make this into an addon instead of another WA (pst, any1 with pro .lua skills?)

Trying to make Progress Bars with custom triggers...pain in the ass finding the proper information

Preferably a circular display, if possible..
