Eclipse Bar Plus

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

This addon has been created to add some extra functionality to the Eclipse Bar for Balance Druids in Cataclysm. The way Blizzard implemented the bar is quite static. It's not able to move and is locked to the player frame. Also it does not offer much extra functionality.

With EclipseBarPlus we made several changes and improvements to the way the standard eclipse bar works.

You can access the configuration screen for this addon with /ebp. It is also listed in the addon configuration in the WoW interface settings.

The addon has been released. Waiting for feedback and comments. If you come up with a suggestion or bug, please use the ticket tracker. Also we are looking for people willing to add some languages to this addon. Please use the URL at the bottom of this description to do so.

Bugs/feature requests

Please enter any bugs or feature request as a ticket on the ticket tracker.

It is simply not possible for us to track all bugs inside the comments on the Curse page, so posting it there might very well cause your bug or feature request to be overlooked. URL of the ticket tracker: http://www.wowace.com/addons/eclipsebarplus/tickets/

Changes made

Added a custom configuration screen
Detached the bar from the playerframe
Made the bar moveable
Made the bar scaleable
Possibility to show/hide the original Blizzard eclipse bar
Possibility to only show the bar when in combat
Possibility to only show the bar when in moonkin form
Customizing the display of values on the bar:
- Font of value on the bar is scaleable
- Power can be displayed in both positive (solar) as negative (lunar) power
- Power can be displayed as a percentage instead of the actual power

Future options

Possibility of skinning the bar

Status of project

Addon is functional, waiting for feedback :-)

Stuff still to do

Add more localization
We would greatly appreciate it if people would take the time to translate this addon to different languages.
Please visit http://www.wowace.com/addons/eclipsebarplus/localization/ to add a localization.
Languages still needed:
- Spanish (also Latin American)
- Russian
- Chinese (both traditional and simplified)

Minor issue: when loading in the first time, and when changing zones, the Blizzard Eclipse Bar shows (as well as EBP's) even though I have Hide Blizzard Eclipse Bar checked - fixed by opening the addon sheet in game, unchecking the box then rechecking it.

If I'm the only one to whom this happens, then it's probably something in Spartan UI interfering.

ETA: yes, I had to edit something SUI.... No worries!

I'm also having similar problems, and I don't use Spartan UI.

Any chance to fix this issue?

Really great addon. Perfect for what I need. Any chance you might make similar addons for warlocks and rogues?

This getting updated for MoP?

A request if so, would it be possible to include some kind of indication as to where the energy will be after the next cast? perhaps as a choice instead of the percentage for the current amount of energy there could be a line 15 energy ahead of the marker for wraths and starfires, or even have some kind of illumination of the icon if the next cast will take the bar into an eclipse.

Is it possible to Invert the bar (So that solar is on the left and lunar on the right)? If so how, and if not would it be possible for this to be an option in an update. Thank you.

Will this be updated for 4.3? Or does anyone know of an alternative addon?

I normally play Resto and seriously suck at Boomkin; I never know what cycle or phase whatever I am in lol.

Was looking for something that would give me a user friendly (Eclipse for Dummies lol)

bar that would make it much easier for me, with my LUI UI, to tell where I am at.

I used to use this so looked it up but it is sadly out of date :(

This one has been kinda buggy since the latest patch. They changed some of the way the energy builds, so sometimes the arrow direction on the EBP display is going the wrong direction. It seems to have some trouble keeping up.

I think I'm going to try downgrading to 0.8.4 to see if the one without direction arrows works a little better now.

frame.marker:SetTexCoord( unpack(ECLIPSE_MARKER_COORDS["sun"]));
else

frame.marker:SetTexCoord( unpack(ECLIPSE_MARKER_COORDS[isLunar]));

This addon is great, but the only thing I would like to suggest would be to tell us how much each spell that changes the Eclipse costs, in terms of Eclipse energy. For example, tell us that Wrath will give you however much Lunar power it does (10 or 15 or whatever it is), or that Starsurge will grant 15 Solar power.

I too would like to see this addon support an arrow to let us players know which way our Eclipse proc is headed.

Would it be possible to add a feature that we can chose the color of the small white indicator moving (the > or <). White is pretty hard to see, I would like to have mine in a shiny red for much better visibility (esp when "hidden" behind the numbers in the middle)

Otherwise, great addon!

Hi. I'm just wondering if there's an update planned. This addon doesn't appear to be working right now. I get booted back to the login screen immediately after loading into the world. Didn't receive an error just immediately booted. I'm trying to track down any errors that may have been logged right now and I'll get back if I find something.

Sorry it has been taking so long. Both Wrug and I are quite busy with college ;)

Made a quick release to fix the "Not a druid"-bug and added localization for French and German.

My thanks goes out to twinko for fixing the bug. Decided to use your fix.

ok the first part:

local options_2 = { name = "Eclipse Bar Plus", handler = EclipseBarPlus, type = "group", args = { not_druid = { type = "header", name = L["Character is not a Druid"], }, }, }

should start at line 201 of the original EclipseBarPlusFrame.lua, that would be after the "local options = {.....}" we are putting a second set of options to catch the scenario that the player is not a druid.

=======================================================================

The second part, what you asked goes in the original document at line 206 where it says "LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("EclipseBarPlusDB", options)" you have to overwrite this line with the one i posted : "if ( select(2, UnitClass("player")) == "DRUID" ) then LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("EclipseBarPlusDB", options) else LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("EclipseBarPlusDB", options_2) end "

============================================================
The 3. part is to add the line "L["Character is not a Druid"] = true " at the end of the "Locale-enUS.lua" file.

Hope it works, have fun, bye bye
