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.

Posted Jan 5, 2011Different... for example the target buffs and debuffs mimic blizz ones so u can now the school (border color), if its yours (size) and the clock thingy fade timer. =D
Please remember that the best way for me to fix bugs is if you register them at wowace.
- Will look into the cast bar
- Is that the size of the icon in the options menu? How small u want it?
- Click nameplates is on my todo list (please read older post on menus)

Posted Jan 3, 2011First, really need to add some place where i can click/right-click to get the normal target right-click menu, you know with inspect, set focus, raid icons and so on.
Also, as i have it set up i have me on the left and my target on the right, please add an option to have both the buffs and debuffs of the target on the same side, in my case the right.

Posted Jan 5, 2011First, in DHUD3 this was available in the DHUD minimap button, and I will add it soon to DHUD4 too. However some people might hide the buttons and there is a request to remove and allow TitanPanel and such to add a DHUD menu. In the panel case the menu could still work... but if there is no button? This issue is also related to the target and target of target name plates. Due to blizzard restrictions u can not change frame widths during combat, since names can have various different lengths I use a wide enough frame to hold long ones. In DHUD3 you could target yourself and right click the nameplate to get the menu, but since the frame is so wide there were complaints about how this "non click through" area was annoying. I've been thinking of a workaround... but still haven't find a solution. ANY IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!!! Like, for example, creating a little frame above the name (similar to the pvp or raid icon) so it can be used for menus...
Also, ... Let me se if I get this. Currently u can have this:
DDDD NAME BBBB and u want... NAME BBBB ?
DDDD BBBB BBBB
DDDD BBBB DDDD
DDDD
This could get off the screen fast... maybe increase the number of possible columns? Please (for both topics) add a bug at wowace (there is a link in the description, "Development Site") and add any comments ideas you have. This post will soon be on older pages and I will surely forget.

Posted Dec 22, 2010It can also be a bit difficult at times to see how many stacks of a debuff are on your target because of the white number on a brightly colored background and the text for when a spell is being cast (while it is very nice to be able to change the color), can be very hard to see because of its size sometimes, which I feel like is a large problem because in the new cata raids and heroic dungeons, interrupting spells is a very important part of many boss encounters.
This however is just my opinion and should not be taken as anything more than that. Great job so far!

Posted Dec 25, 2010Some stuff is still under work, pally power included, so please wait for new releases.
Regarding debuffs, have you tried changing size of buffs/debuffs? Cast text is (by default) at the top of the bar and buffs at the bottom, I don't see how they are interfering. Anyhow, if they are, you can place the HUD in "Config Layout" mode where you can see how the different bars, texts and icons will look. In this mode all texts are movable bi holding the alt key while clicking. You can place the texts where you feel the work for you.

Posted Dec 18, 2010Also I know that Renaitre has some new "Techy" graphics that he has a picture up on wowinterface showing that are really nice looking. Wondering if they were going to be available as another option to choose from.

Posted Dec 25, 2010The green borders seem nice. However atm I am rounding up DHUD3 functionality and adding Pally, Druid and Locks new mechanics so this would have to wait. The best way to make me remember and express your interest in this feature being added is adding a "new feature" bug request at wowace.
I have been working closely with Reanitre in the new textures and adding them to DHUD. Since I am still doing some changes and adding some features he wants to wait for a stable release to round up the textures. Once we are set they will surely make it to DHUD (any comments Renaitre? ;) )

Posted Dec 27, 2010Nitewarlord had some suggestions for the borders of the Tech skins to be shadows, which I like but that brings back the issue we were discussing with coloring the "Tribal" borders.
For the Tribal skins, I want the borders to appear as black shadows. I can do this easily with the .tga files, but DHUD4's handling of the range indicators uses the border graphic, which demands that the .tga be colored white or a shade of grey. There are several ways to work around this codewise, but maybe the easiest would be to assign the range indicator it's own graphic ie 3r instead of 3b which would allow 3b (the regular border) to be a dark border while 3r (the range indicator) to be a light, colored border, or an entirely separate graphic.
Here is a screen of the "Tech" skins with a regular border

Posted Dec 9, 2010Should I be upgrading to this version? Will my settings from dhud3 be saved? Or will this be a whole new addon with different features/looks.
