Quartz - setting castingcolor externally. How?

Shanyn — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:43:37 GMT

I was browsing UIs when I came across LUI, which does something interesting with Quartz--it uses a kgpanels script to set the Latency indicator color to your class color. "Cool," I thought. "I want to adapt that to set the whole bar the class color."

So here's what I have in my kgpanels script, adapted from the LUI compilation:

Code:

local class = UnitClass("player")

lagVertexColor = {RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b, 1}



local db = Quartz:AcquireDBNamespace("Latency")

db.profile.lagcolor=lagVertexColor

db.profile.lagalpha=1

Quartz.ApplySettings()

This works just fine--it changes the LATENCY indicator color as intended.

Now, I'm not all that incredible with scripting just yet, but I poked around Quartz's code to see how I could change this to change castingcolor (the variable name for the regular casting bar color). I can't figure it out. It doesn't seem to be working with the AcquireDBNamespace, because this particular variable is NOT stored in any particular namespace at all in the SavedVariables. So, I'm stumped and would really appreciate if I could get a bit of help.

Teach a lady to fish and all that. :)

Thanks in advance.

How can i make ...

tabjones — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:32:22 GMT

... appear a certain frame when an event occur ??

First of all HI that's my first post !
I discovered OpenRDX recently and i found it totally kicking ass !
Infact im replacing my whole UI with Rdx frames.
Btw i read all the howtos (which are very well done) and faks but couldn't find an answer to my little dilemma !

Now here's what i wanna do:
I want some icons (or texts it doesn't really matter now) to appear on my desktop when i have on myself a certain buff like for example "the art of war" (a retri paladin buff). To make this i added to my frame a Show/Hide condition.
What i found a bit confusing is how can i make a variable (to put in the show/hide) that becomes true when i have that buff on myself and returns false when i don't have it. Should i use filterset ? Should i use aurafilter ? both ? none ?
And how can i make the filterset to appear as a variable inside my frame condition ?

Thanks for you time

Shared Media?

suicidalkatt — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:15:01 GMT

So I'm sure some of you are familiar with tidy plates, and I'm not sure exactly how I'd go about incorporating shared media into my theme's for it.

Just to try to make things simplified, this:

config.healthbar = {
texture = texture.."CP_BarTexture",
width = 120,
height = 10,
x = 0,
y = 5,
anchor = "CENTER",
orientation = "HORIZONTAL",
}

is a tabled value that is plugged into tidy plates to create a theme.

Now my problem is, if I put a saved variable link directly into that:

texture = CP.db.profile.BarTexture,

I get a db = nil value since my saved variables haven't loaded yet.

How would I go about fixing this problem?

* I am still fairly new to the programming atmosphere, ace libs in particular *

Mini-Map Glitch

Phoenix_Haze — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:24:18 GMT

I've discovered a glitch with the mini-map which occurs during 2 different events.
The map randomly disappears while i am on my flying mount. It also disappears every time i am Aggroed by a MOB.

Edit: This just recently started happening and when i say mini-map i mean carbonite's mini-map

Glow texture

richerich — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:39:03 GMT

I have tried to watch through a few layouts and other mods, but i can't seem to figure out how to add a "glow" texture for my unitframes (like how oUF_Caellian looks like).

Runebar Question

Ferous — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:53:14 GMT

Hey there :P I know I have become a bugger when it comes to asking questions, but I haven't actually seen this implemented yet, so I come to ask!

Question - Is it possible to add a function to make the runebar fade OOC and come into full alpha in combat? If so, how about would i do this? Thanks in advance and sorry to bug you! :)

(My server is down, so Im on another server playing around on a dk >.>)

Reverse Quest Tracker Progress / Name

jacob18d — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:08:39 GMT

I'm looking for an addon that will reverse the default quest tracker's progress and name. For example:

Code:

Aspirant's Seal: 5/15

Would look like

Code:

5/15: Aspirant's Seal

The reason for this is, to me seeing "Aspirant's Se..." when the quest is too long, is annoyingly useless O.o

Ideally it would look like this..

Code:

Aspirant's Se... 5/15

Anything to achieve showing the actual progress on the quest tracker regardless of the objectives length would be great.

Where'd my minimap go?

Endoric — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:17:59 GMT

I've been away from WoW for months now and am getting acclimated again with it and Carbonite. So I installed the latest version. When I did it asked me if I wanted to merge maps or something like that and I said YES - then my minimap (in the upper right-hand corner) disappeared. How do I get it back?

Thanks much!
