New Versions are only for my Guild from now on. Thanks to goes to all People that supported DHUD until now. Everyone who want's can take over this Project.
@Arcanefoam
np thanks for keeping this great addon going!!
btw what version did you put on wowace? that download didn't work for me.
@joelore: Sorry for the troubles, I am reviewing the code to see if I can find nething that is causing your problems and will post soon. I can only code at night so plz be a little patient.
@adw155: Code debugging is turned on by default and that is why u get the messages. U can disable it in the addons menu/configuration window. Next release will have it turned off by default. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just waiting for the next rev. I had to remove this version. Not sure if it's the problems with the core.lua or what but I kept getting weird graphics, like unremovable empty bars etc...
Looking forward to trying the next fix.
Thanks,
What about MetaHud? Have you looked at it?
@Evilone: I don't have a hunter/lock so pet bars werent 100 fully tested but I am looking into this issue.
@Inaris: Why this addon? Because I loved it scince day one and when the author decided stop releasing updates I wanted to keep his work. DHUD had only a bug or 2 fixed and a TOC update; This version is a complete recode of the mod using ACE2 wich shoud reduce memory footprint and processing overhead. Why you should move to this one? Firther development and support. And plz don't call it a frankenstein, I have put a lot of work on it ;).
@joelore: It seems the version with the missing files had a core.lua error too. The new release should work fine.
@all: As evilone commented I have uploaded the projec to files.wowace.com and u will get automatic updates if u use wowace updater.
this addon is very good for me
I Love The Fact that this is Ace supported (for the aceupdater)
that is a MAJOR ++
thank you again!!!
Why?
Why have this addon when DHUD works fine and is recently updated? Why is there a need for this addon when there are already so many other properly working HUDs?
What's my incentive to move from a working DHUD to this frankenstein of an experiment?
"The files missing are version control information so functionality of the addon will not be broken as the needed files are getting extrated correctly. I guess I need a winrar curse =P"
hmm, well it's not working for me at all. Shows it's there in the startup addons menu but acts as if it's not even installed installed.
I will try the new archive
excellent addon...tyvm for ur work....just a quick note if ya didnt know, my pet bars are not working and getting a nil valure error spam with it :)
thanks again!!
I also am getting an error on extracting as well as the following:
Interface\AddOns\DHUD2\core.lua:38:attempt to concatenate local 'VERSION' (a nil value)
when I login.
There is a problem with the archive. Winrar says there's invalid subdirectories and it will not extract all the files. Windows Zip file support says essentially the same thing and still will not extract all the files.
Can we get a fixed archive file please?
Dhud originally was my favorite interface improvment. But when it's author stopped updating it for publicy, but only for his own guild, I was just waiting for blizzards patch where it could stop working:(
I've got addicted to this addon during this time, and when that nasty patch came out and dhud stopped working, I had to switch on cheap clones that were flooding curse.
Now I see this great addon coming back slowly, and sincerly hoping for it never stop it's developing, because this addon was the last thing I needed to feel myself home again*%,)
cool mod, i like how it shows buffs next to the bars, only thing is i wish you could have your stats on one side and your targets on the other, cant wait for the updated version with an options tab

Take a look at the layout tab - last ono on the right I think - Layout 2 puts your info on the left and the target on the right.
It would be nice if you added a screenshot. :)
@Shon989: create an empty folder called "DHUD2" and put it in you Addons folder. Place the files you download from here into that folder.
@MrSmeagol: No, there is not graphic options interface, I am still working on it and , the minimap button will come once there is an option pane to open =D. This is a beta release intended to test initial functionality so some bugs will pop and some functions are not 100% working. I have a lot of ace addons and don't get any errors. Ne chance u can get a bug grabber addon and post/send me the error message? The 2nd layout is on my todo list, but the way I think is the best to get it done will involve some major recoding so I am probably doing that when the rest is working. And yes the original idea was to keep DHUD up to date with new patches coming and try to include new functions.
@Shon989: Please check that the folder DHUD2 is inside the Addons folder and check that there is some files in there.
