MobInfo2 for 4.0.1?

**Myzou** · 2010-10-13, 01:54 AM

So, been looking around.

Anyone know of an addon that functions like MobInfo2 that's compatible with 4.0.1?

Sadly, not a big fan of not knowing what the enemies health is, :P Not a fan of MobInfo3 either. ._.

**ComputerNerd** · 2010-10-13, 02:07 AM

Unitframe addons, and tooltip modification addons will usually cater to the health information better than mobinfo did.

**Myzou** · 2010-10-13, 04:34 AM

Any specific ones? >_>;

**Samin** · 2010-10-13, 05:21 AM

Isn't that already an out-of-the-box game setting somewhere now to show the targets health?

**ComputerNerd** · 2010-10-13, 05:33 AM

TipTac is often suggested as a tooltip replacement, and having used it myself I found it worked fairly well.
Pitbull 4 I am currently using as my unit frames, and while I will say the customisation is not the most intuitive, it can be pretty powerful.

TipTac @ Curse.
Pitbull4 @ Curse.

I am not in the position to use either myself atm, due to the EU realms still being down, but both are indicated as compatable with 4.0.1 and having been updated during the last 11-12 hours at the time of this post.

**Myzou** · 2010-10-13, 09:30 AM

Well, I'm not changing my unit frames just to have the info... and tiptac is simply tooltips, XD

Anyone have any other ideas about getting an addon similar to MobInfo?

You haven't needed an addon to show target health for ages. You can turn on numerical health values in the default wow interface.

I believe it's this option: http://www.madnesslabs.com/wow/image...StatusText.jpg

I'm well aware of that. However, I prefer seeing both a numerical and a percentage. :P

Well I guess you have to start getting used to something else then...

Pitbull or any other Unitframe replacement compared to the standard original unitframes are a Much better.

Code:

local function round(num, places)
    return tonumber(string.format("%."..(places or 0).."f",num))
end
local function short(num)
    if num > 10000000 then
        return round(num/1000000, 1).."m"
    elseif num > 10000 then
        return round(num/1000, 1).."k"
    else
        return num
    end
end
TFUtils = CreateFrame("Frame")
local tftfhbt = TargetFrameTextureFrameHealthBarText
local tfh = tftfhbt.Hide
local tfs = tftfhbt.Show
local tfs2 = function(self) self:SetAlpha(1) tfs(self) end
local tfh2 = function(self) self:SetAlpha(0.7) tfs(self) end
local tfst = tftfhbt.SetText
function tftfhbt:SetText()
    if UnitExists("target") then
        local uh, uhm = UnitHealth("target"), UnitHealthMax("target")
        local pct = round(uh/uhm*100, 1)
        tfst(self, short(uh).."/"..short(uhm).." ("..pct.."%)")
    else
        tfst(self, "")
    end
end
local emptyfunc = function() end
TFUtils:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    tftfhbt.Hide = UnitCanAttack("player", "target") and tfh2 or tfh
    tftfhbt.Show = UnitCanAttack("player", "target") and tfs2 or tfs
    tftfhbt[(UnitCanAttack("player", "target") or tftfhbt:GetParent():IsMouseOver()) and "Show" or "Hide"](tftfhbt)
    if not UnitCanAttack("player", "target") then
        tftfhbt:SetAlpha(1)
    end
    if not tftfhbt:GetParent():IsMouseOver() then
        tftfhbt:Hide()
    end
end)
TFUtils:RegisterEvent("UNIT_FACTION")
TFUtils:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")

Forces the enemy target frame health text to show on hostile units and displays both full amount and percent.
Untested. How to use. Report back with issues.

**Myzou** · 2010-10-14, 01:06 PM

Thanks, I'll try it and tell ya how it works

EDIT: It works perfect. :3 I thank you very much.

It actually shows more detailed percentages than MobInfo does too, XD

I was wondering if there's any Chance of altering it so that it shows mana in the same way, as well as friendly targets?

Hey Treeston

The first 1 works perfectly except for 2 things:
It doesnt show mana and mana percentages
And u have to hover over them in order to make it show. Also said: Its transparent unless hovering over, can we make it show all the time?

The 2nd u posted I understand should show mana however it shows nothing and peoples name frame goes gray/white.

Any way you can fix it? Cause I really love theese addons and cant play without them

How to use

**Dastey** · 2010-10-14, 06:52 PM

Ill test it after my raid. Thx a lot

Deleted · 2010-10-14, 08:58 PM

Thanks a lot, this actually worked. And the addon usage is a whole log smaller than Mobinfo too.

Very nice work! *salute*

PS: just a little question though, and I'm a noob at trying to find it out myself :$
But is it in any way possible to show your own health + percentage too (same for rage)
Cause I have the option to either show % or health. But if i pick percentage my rage will show as "0%" instead of "../100" :s

Thanks on beforehand

Deleted · 2010-10-14, 09:00 PM

You're welcome *yawn*. I'll check back tomorrow.
(The second I say this trolls are gonna come out of hiding. I just know it.)

Deleted · 2010-10-14, 09:11 PM

They better not O.o

And thanks, I'll keep track of this topic then

**Myzou** · 2010-10-15, 02:11 AM

Glad I'm not the only one who wanted something like this.

One issue I had with the first code you gave was that it gave a "*This Code* has been blocked by something with the Blizzard default GUI" or something similar, whenever you tried to click off a debuff, then said ignore the message, or disable the addon. Not sure if it does it with the new code though, I will test throughout the night.

**ComputerNerd** · 2010-10-15, 03:01 AM

The clicking off of a debuff became a protected function, and one that would not be available if there was anything beyond very basic filtering or sorting of your buffs.
If you have any buffs display addon then that is very likely the reason for the inteference, since the code there does not have any reason to modify that as far as I know.
