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.

Focusing using drop down menu is now a protected function. Using the focus option in DHUD4 drop-down menus will generate an error.

Is this addon still being updated??
I posted a ticket to the WowAce site for the addon, but wanted to list it here as well. I'm getting the following errors when logging in to the game with DHUD4 enabled.

These errors have been occuring for both 5.04 and 5.05. Thanks
That's due to the LibDogTag-Unit-3.0 included in DHUD4 being outdated. Replace it with a current version and the error will disappear.
This just is not working for me, everything I do chucks up an error.
Also, how do I get it to look like this.

Can you be more specific on the error?
That is the Renaitre texture. You can change the bar texture in the addon options.

Small release to update TOC to 5.0.4 and small errors. Continue to work on rest of the functionality. As always Druids go frist ;). Sorry for the rest of the classes but I dont multiclass a lot so it takes longer to get to you .

Foam
You might've seen DHUD for 5.0. Not sure if you're planning to collaborate but -many- of your features are currently not in that one which I've been using seeing as yours isn't updated quiet yet. I'm just throwing the suggestion out there that possibly both of you could work on one together to make it twice as good,
Either way I'm hoping to start using your DHUD again. Thank you for all your great work.
I have to agree. I find your HUD more suited to my liking and it would be great if you could find the time to update yours. I've tried some of the others, but can't seem to get a liking to any others.
Hi Orginal,
I have never talked to madcat (¿?) about DHUD for X, he has been developing that branch for some time now and he has a different concept than me in how the HUD should look and what should it do. I don't think that the two will be easily merged into one.
I hope DHUD4 becomes stable soon and you can use it again.

Hi N0ush1,
Thanks for the nice words. Work has started.. sadly I had to start by updating my development environment (a bit unattended too). That is done now so I can start on DHUD. I loadad it today just for the kicks and about a zillin errors popped... I think there is a lot to do but I hope it can be done fast.
Foam
Awesome news! Looking forward to it, and I for one am happy to wait for it.
Thanks!
Greetings,
I've been using this DHUD for a few years now... it's creative, flexible and gets the job done nicely. Just one request, if it's not too much trouble. Could you guys possibly have Phaytal's bars as an option?
Whatever happens, thanks for a great addon. All the best to yiz :)
Hello,
Thanks for using DHUD for a couple of years and sorry for the absence of support lately. If you point me to where I can get the bar graphics I can surely add them to the hud.
Regards,
Foam
The last version I used can be downloaded here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/project-2652/files/1-v2-0-reloaded/
The bars are in DHUD\textures\standard
Apparently it worked up to about '08. Anyhow, Renaitre used them in an early version of DHUD, which was what attracted me to it in the first place. Not to say the tribal and current versions aren't awesome -- they are! But Phaytal's bars bring back lots of good memories...
Got them. Adding them should be a breeze. I will surel put them in the next stable build.

Hello,
Finally I was convinced to come back to wow... that means that I will probably have some time to work on DHUD again. I can't promise much, but at least I hace an account on which to test stuff.
Cheers,
Foam
\m/
Looking forward to it!
So has this got the tribal copy??
Yes, this has the Tribal bars that I created for my fan version, which have been updated and are available via the Renaitre profile in the GUI.
I'll work on some new screenshots of these bars, but in the meantime I'll try to put up a placeholder or two.
Hi, been using DHUD3 for a while now, and been getting an error since the patch so I updated to 4 today. I'm having a few issues, though. The blizzard cast bar seems to always show regardless of the setting to show/hide it, same thing with the aura module. I'm seeing buffs/debuffs even with the aura module disabled.
