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 Apr 25, 2011Sadly, no. Many of the configuration settings have changed and that was actually one of the reasons to make a new version.
Regarding the profiles, are you not seeing even the basic default ones, or just not seeing yours?

Posted Apr 28, 20111) I'm getting an error if I want to change the enemy cast bar side (works errorless only with default settings). The error messege is here:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/dhud4.aspx?CommentPage=2#945016
2) when I don't have any target I still see the text "Target";
3) while having backpacks open and crafting/casting, the cast bar border is shown over the open backpacks instead of in the background;
I've made a picture so you know better what I mean with 2 and 3:
http://i52.tinypic.com/ve7vd1.png
Btw, the target field to click (i.e. for setting the raid icon) is pretty small and it always takes me time to find the place where the dropdown menu will show up. Is there a fix for that?
Thx for help and for DHUD4 :)

Posted Mar 16, 2011First, thanks for this new iteration. I can't play without DHUD anymore, so I forbid you from quitting addon development.
Second, I'm having an issue with target/player auras (in the target menu, aura tab). Though I have deselected the show tips radio control, it continues to show them. I also wonder if there is a click-through option that should be here or simply isn't working. I would very much be greatly okay with such a feature for those auras. I can't describe how happy I am that the health/power text bars are now click-through.
Thanks again for the greatness of DHUD's current and future development. Also, yay.

Posted Mar 16, 2011Thanks for the warm words and a couple of donations can make your forbidding stick ;).
I will look into this. Disabling the tips should disable clicks, i.e. auras become click through. Thanks for the report (can u make it a bug at wowace?).
Happy questing!

Posted Mar 4, 2011Thanks for the grats and for using DHUD4.
What has "stopped" being movable in config? I tried it again on a Pally and holy power is being tracked ok. Are you perhaps getting any lua errors?

Posted Mar 5, 2011(Image of Where elements of Config Layout used to be and no longer are) http://i52.tinypic.com/eh0ikk.png
And as far as I know I am not experiencing any lua errors, but I have encountered a few more changes as of version 1.1
First: Holy power is now displaying but it does seem like it may be flawed if not intentional, it seems that once it hits 3 charges of holy power the graphic will not reset to zero regardless of holy power, again I have provided a few images and hope this will help in some way.
(Showing 3 charges on DHUD with 0 Holy Power) http://i51.tinypic.com/2lo6k39.png
(Showing 3 charges on DHUD with 1-3 Holy Power and config settings)http://i51.tinypic.com/1y26o3.png
Another problem that stood out to me is that regardless of setting, the default blizzard cast bar no longer appears as of 1.1
(Image showing a casting action via default target frame, DHUD target frame, but absent of player casting bar with settings set to not disable it) http://i52.tinypic.com/n5lthl.jpg
If you have anything you want to discuss further I would be more that happy to take this to email or private message as to not clutter this page with information that will be dated by the time the next patch is out.
As always, thanks for your work.

Posted Mar 5, 2011I tried to play without it, but the casting indication on DHUD4 is much too hard to see, so I've had to disable the mod for all my casters. Looking forward to this being resolved at some point.

Posted Mar 6, 2011For the cast bar... It was sort of intentional, I assumed people will just prefer it to be gone for good. Will fix it.
Regarding HP i have tried this with my lv 9 Pally. Maybe the mechanics change at higher levels (which I doubt) or it is simply buggy. I will look further into it.
I would be glad if you could send a PM with your email. I would love to get some extra help, specially regarding classes I don't play.

Posted Mar 2, 2011Made some changes to how modules load to try and fix the module not loading bug. Fixed the drop downs (name plates and minimap icon) and added a small frame for name plate targeting. This means that to access name plates menus u will need to click at the very center of the name plate. This reduces the "non click through" area.
I think it is stable and complete enough to make it release. I will continue working on the missing features, primarily lock shards and druid eclipse.

Posted Mar 4, 2011And the Auras menu seems to only relate to the round buffs on the left/right side of the healt/mana bar.
For me DHUD3 still works fine and I'm still using it until I figure v4 out.

And one more thing: when I don't have a target, it still shows the word "Target" on the bottom there. In DHUD3 there was a name of the target if I had one and empty space if I didn't. I can try to post a screeshot if you don't know what I mean. If you do, can I get rid of it somehow?
Thanks for DHUD4 :)

Posted Feb 16, 2011Also, is there a way to move the bars closer together? like make the space between the two sides smaller, you can do it in the older Dhud versions but not DHUD4
thanks!
