DHUD4
DHUD4 is a recode, new features addition and optimization of Drathal's original DHUD.
DHUD4 is Heads Up Display Addon that provides 4 sets of bar to display player, target, pet, focus, target of target and/or vehicle health and power, and target range, druid mana when shapeshifted and threat information. Additionally player buffs, target buffs/debuffs and special class abilities are tracked. Two simple cast bars allow player and target casting tracking too. Bar text info and nameplates can be configured using DogTags.
Slash command: /dhud4
Renaitre's Profile: DHUD4 ships with a Renaitre preloaded profile to adjust the addon to the Renaitre UI layout.

sorry for double post...this is the first thing I get when I load my dk.
Your bug report has been fixed in the new version.
Foam
Since the 4.2 patch I get errors with this and my DK.
all I can say is so many errors interface is degraded.
with the error reporting its always dhud with 2 or 3 errors.
However, tonight whilst raiding in Bastion of Twilight I had several occasion when my screen went black for a few seconds before returning me to the game - sometimes with disastorous results :D
As this had never happened before today I realised that the only change I had made since the last raid was to install DHUD4. Disabling the adddon stopped the blackouts and all went back to normal.
Any ideas??
Happy to provide any further information if required to assist.
Thanks for using DHUD4. You are surely the carrier of bad news! lol. Well any additional information is welcome cause I don't get to raid so it is hard for me to de-bug this kind of issues. Things like type of target, class, features enabled, etc., will help me try to figure out the issue. Also, I would appreciate it if you could open a ticket at wowace so I can track this and establish a more direct communication.
Thanks,
Foam
The only thing I can think may have caused the original issue was that I had changed a setting in DHUD4 during the raid - reinstating the Blizzard Target Frame so I could see the bosses health when dead.
Don't really get the time to test these things thoroughly in raid but will let you now if the issue recurs.
Now Blizzard has added estimated healing onto their bars, will it be possible to add it to this?
Seeing as I look at the DHUD much more than the Blizzard bars it would be nice to see it on them. =)
Thanks for using DHUD4. Can you please open a ticket requesting this as new functionality? I try to remember all the enhancements and requests done by people but sometimes they just get lost as the comment pages increase.
Foam.
Thank you. =)
1) Uninstalling and re-installing the addon solved the problem restoring auras to their proper positions on both layout and config menu.
2) Upon trying to reconfigure addon settings, auras were lost again from somewhere in the changes made to default settings. This lead me to try and find exactly what was causing this as no LUA errors were experienced.
i) Changing base scale of DHUD (I scaled to 1.1) causes player auras (and paladin holy power specifically) to overlap with health and mana bars instead of scaling with the rest of the addon. Resetting scale to 1.0 does not solve the issue, auras still remained overlayed (image, http://i53.tinypic.com/20p1nd5.jpg). Playing around a bit more with it I changed the side player aruas are on between left and right to see if this would change the way it worked and this also produced a few strange results.
(Auras switched to LEFT side, http://i52.tinypic.com/rus7pe.jpg)
(Auras switched back to RIGHT side, http://i52.tinypic.com/2ltsso1.jpg)
(the auras appear on the opposite side that they are requested to be on this is not a mistake of posting the wrong image with the wrong description, I also wanted to include the config layout after auras is switched to the LEFT side, http://i53.tinypic.com/2u76lvm.jpg)
This however does not remove the target auras. Logging out and back in also corrects this bug resetting the aura positions outside of the bars.
ii) The turning off of target nameplates removes target aura system completely, unsure if this is working as intended or this is a bug as it also removes the target aura menu from config. Toggling back on of target name plate fully restores all target auras on the display aswell as in the config menu.
iii) DHUD scale appears to be resetting its appearance size upon login, hard to explain with text so I took screenshots of the size (scaled with eAlign) before and after logging in with the same settings (http://i55.tinypic.com/210lit0.png). You can see that the center distance between the two bars seems to be changing a bit in between logging in and out.
Just a few things I noticed in the new update, keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for the detailed report. I will definitely do some tests on this and try to figure out the bugs. I know is a little extra work, but it would help me a lot of you could create a ticket for this at http://www.wowace.com/addons/dhud4/
Foam
I checked out your findings and:
i) This have been fixed in the new release (1,7). Target auras and player abilities are two different modules
ii) Yes, target auras are tied to target name plate. If you consider they should not be, please file a enhancement ticket at wowace.
iii) It is not a scale issue, it had something to do with the added feature of allowing bars to be closer. This has been fixed too.
Again, thanks for your time to report this and hope you keep using DHUD4 and helping me make it better!!!
Cheers,
Foam

No LUA error to provide with this, sorry.
The bug being the weapon buff appearing multiple times? Did they show all at once or one after another? Did they clear at some point? Can you opena ticket for this?
