ok, most of the issues are with plugins, and some of them are licensed, so I'm just going to remove support for those and try to incorporate (at least somewhat) similar functionality in the layout.

other than removing support for addons, there's an issue with the portraits... they seem to only change when you change targets if the target has a different name. for example, if you target a male mob then a female mob with the same name, the portrait doesn't change but obviously should. I'm not sure where the problem is currently, it seems like it would be in oUF itself, but might be in the layout. I'll find it and if it's in my addon, I'll fix it.

I'm also working on being able to have 2 buff rows:
1 7
2 8
3 9
4 10
5 11
6 12

but it might take a little while.

There's currently a few somewhat small problems with this addon, such as:
druid hots doesn't really work the best. you can pretty much see one or 2 boxes from lifebloom and that's it.
druids on vehicles have the mana text field showing. i didn't notice this until recently 'cuz my druid was in the 40's when i made this.
party frames require a reloadui if you join party or members are added while in combat. (i have yet to find a layout that changes them from being spawned top to bottom that doesn't have this problem, so as a noob i've had a lot of problems figuring this out.)
ouf_swing is kinda crap, it needs to have some skills activate the timer also (such as maul, runestrike, etc.........)
some other things like that.

I'm working on them all, and once their all done i'll post the update, then i'm going to work on changing the options at the top of the lua file to use saved variables and either slash commands or an options menu.

if you have noticed problems, please post them so that I can take care of them

I've been messing with some diff layouts for party frames. lemmie know what u guys think.



with them here, I like to have party and raid frames on with raid frames in heal mode. i'm thinkint that will become the default for oUF_WTF. so.... feedback?

oh, and of corse there would still be .Moveable support, so you could always move them, but i've found that that addon doesn't like my party frames very much.

just updated it again. see readme for changes (if you want to lol).

been working on a healer mode, gonna add in the ability to make it not spawn raid also in case people want to use diff frames for them (this might not be in next release though). thanks for the suggestion.

oh.... and i'm a guy.... not gay but definitely more feminine than my wife o.O.

with oUF_MoveableFrames, once you move a frame it's no longer anchored to it's default parent... think it reanchors everything to UIParent. so to make the pet frame stick to player frame, delete the saved variables that moveable created and dont move it indipendantly. it should then move when you move the player frame.

i got the pet focus working.... i did a huge retard mistake and forgot to test it, thought i had lol. it's working now, once i get a few more things wrapped up i'll post it.

I'm not a huge fan of buff / debuff icons for pet because honestly on my hunter if there's a poison debuff or disease one i'll get rid of it, these frames should all work with debuff highlighting so no need for the icons. other than that I didn't add more things because I wanted this to be pretty simplistic / minimal.

To others: this layout is not meant for healing, as I said before this layout would most likely piss me off when I'm healing a raid (2 of my 4 80's are healers). but for dps, it certainly works once you're used to the layout and know how the raid frames are spawned. the partys will always be in the same place, and it gives you more than enough info to dps the boss till you're dead. as a tank it might be nice to have the mana bars so you know if you need to pop a cd till innertave does it's magic or w/e but what i've found is no matter the raid frame layout, it takes too long to check all the healers mana anyway, if you think their oom you should pop a cd, god knows blizz gave all tanks plenty of them.

I'm starting to concider a 'healer mode' for this, but not sure if it's something I want to do yet. If I do, this would remain a vertical layout, but I would add mana bars to the right of each raid frame (without making the health bars thinner, their thin enough already) and spawn the frames differently ie:

first number party, second number member

1,5 2,5 3,5 etc....
1,4 2,4 3,4
1,3 2,3 3,3
1,2 2,2 3,2
1,1 2,1 3,1

I like the pet frames.... they provide vehicle support. and really, there's no other place to put them without them looking horrible.

other than all that, I'm adding the same black border that i have for player, etc... to all frames.... this was actually the original intention, but while i was making the other frames, when i was about 1/2 done i tested it and just liked the way it looked. also, remember that when you're working with a 1 or 2 pixel border, it's likely to look a little screwy on some screens.... not everyone will use the same scale, not everyone will use the same resolution and not everyone has a really really nice monitor. so it's likely to look like 2 pixels on one side but 1 on another, etc... on some screens, making it look a bit sloppy when it's actually not, it's just one of those factors i listed above.

anyway, better stop this post so i can finish and post it before i have to start homeschooling my son o.O


oh, : "Second, the data is too much squeezed, making it impossible, to get quickly the data you actually need. "

not sure what you mean..... there's actually a lot of space between health and mana bars..... and buffs / debuffs are generally always on the top / bottom of the frames, this is same concept just turned i do think that the pet, focus frames make it a little tighter than it probably should be but I happen to like that and find them as useful as they need to be in a raid or pvp... i am however still trying to decide which buffs i want to filter out for which frames... i would generally filter all but self cast raid buffs but not sure yet.

just put up new version with those fixes.

thanks again for the info, I've been working on it all.

things i've fixed so far:
icon strata
ouf buffs/debuffs hidden when regular ones shown
moveable frames
target and party names with variable in top of lua file
put in scaling (problem with this is SetScale also changes scaling from anchoring, which I hate, but i'll get it going, there's other ways to do it).

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to look at all that tomorrow.... the movable frames is just commented out, but I'm not sure if it's all in the proper place yet.... this was mainly made with copy paste and a bunch of editing from oUF_Noob, so they could easily have gotten misplaced.

for the names, do u think just target or should they be on party members also? eh... I think I'm just going to add them to all but have variable at the top of the lua to change them between Show and Hide.

also, thanks a ton for the suggestion of hiding the buffs, debuffs on player frame when changing the variable for hiding the default buff frame. never even thought of that, i hate the default (mainly 'cuz i move my map o.O).

banana dance for the hell of it:
