Posted Feb 11, 2008Hi Arcanefoam,
i'm currently using Metahud, but i'm afraid that there will be no more support...
I would use yours, but the wrong casting delay when you are hit while casting, is to annoying... do you have any plans to fix this?
Furthermore, have you ever thought about implementing a third row of bars for focus?

Posted Feb 11, 2008Hi Ubik. The cast dealy and all other bugs are being revised as I recode some stuff to implement the option to change the value each bar shows (known in DHUD as layouts). I had never thought of a focus bar and the idea seems nice but as with target target bars I am affraid if it just starts to get to "bulky". Maybe a pet size bar next to the outer bars? Would just 1 bar be enough or will 2 bars be requiered. A cast bar is being thought for the target, will the focus require a cast bar too, or maybe a cc cooldown fits better? Please tell me more about your idea to c if we can work something out.

Posted Feb 12, 2008If you really implement targets target bars, please make an option to remove them. For me as Warlock it wouldn't be interesting, but I can imagine, that any healing class would love you :)
And I would prefer normal sized bars for focus, because i think its more easy to see if i shall cast a fast-damage spell or another dot; perhaps it would be too hard to estimer the amount of remaining hp with the small bars...
And you don't have target-casting bar? I didn't know that yet :) ... thats a problem, I don't want to miss that. Maybe you could have a look on Metahud, it has anything from correct casting-delays, target casting bars to channeling spells even with the ability to show the name of the casted spell, yours and of your target... And it seems not to be in development anymore, i wrote an email to the author without getting any response. - Please don't thing that I don't honor and respect your work, but everything is already there, take it, and make it even better! (with targets-target and focus bars) ;)

Posted Feb 14, 2008Hi Ubik,
I think Target-target and focus will make 4 bars at each side (+ pets) and "too crowdy" still hits my mind. Maybe just add a 3rd set of bars in which u can see either target-target or focus?

Posted Feb 1, 2008Hey, this mod is really glitchy... I can't change the font size of my HP/MP or my target's HP/MP. The mod occasionally dissapears during combat. Even tho there is an option to disable the cast bar, I cannot see Blizzards when I enable it. Also, I would recommend a separate window for the options.

Posted Feb 7, 2008Options are configurable through an options window that should open if you type /dhud2 in the command line. I had never seen the bars dissapear in combat, did they show back up or did you have to reload de UI? The text size should defenetly change but I am looking at this issue.

Posted Jan 27, 2008Hi Arcanefoam, gratz for the great work on that addon.
I have some sugestion for you, i don't know, maybe you have already think about that.
1) That should be cool if we can see the name of the spell we (or the target) are casting. Really usefull for mages, to choose what kind of spell we interupt.
2) I really need to see the duration for the buff/debuff on my target (just like in the blizzard target frame, we can see the duration for debuff/buff of targets)
For exemple: when I cast fireball, I can see the duration of debuff with the Blizzard frame, but not with DHUD2.
3) Maybe add a little portrait of player/targer, so DHUD2 can fully replace the Blizzard player/targer frame.
I don't know if this is clear enough, excuse my english. Greetings from France.

Posted Jan 25, 2008Hi. I am duing major recoding to enable custom layouts. For the moment this is the idea: You can set the player bars arround, to the left or to the right (target bars will chage accordingly). If you choose them to be arround u can choose the side for health and power. If u choose both at 1 side u can choose wich one goes in the outer and wich in the inner bar. The same applies to pet bars and the druid mana bar can be placed either side. All this will be configurable form the options menu.

Posted Jan 22, 2008Personally the major thing i love about this mod is the buffs on the side of the bar.
Great for Pallys Tanks.. pretty much everyone. Especially my shaman in combat i have something like 12 different procs going on and it lets me watch them proc.
Other than the black squares the only bug i have had is dying in TK my hud bugs out, health n mana bars show 0 for me and my target
Great Mod and I'm stoaked as hell someone decided to pick it up again

Posted Jan 17, 2008About bugs: there's no problem using it (yeah the black square is still there), the real problem is the setup none of the options works (whatever u may want to do it returns an error message). Only the scale option (%) works. The errors are always due to the same library, here's I give u a couple of examples: [2008/01/17 16:36:57-234-x1]: DHUD2-0.9b r57887\core.lua:124: attempt to call method 'setFonts' (a nil value)
Dewdrop-2.0-56529 (DewdropLib):2017: in function <...erface\AddOns\DewdropLib\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua:1989> [2008/01/17 16:35:36-234-x1]: DHUD2-0.9b r57887\core.lua:94: attempt to call method 'updatePlayerAuras' (a nil value)
Dewdrop-2.0-56529 (DewdropLib):721: in function <...erface\AddOns\DewdropLib\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua:660> I play with the libraries standing alone.
Keep developing it, all rogues love you. :)
