Fortress

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Fortress is a display addon for LDB data feeds. It shows each plugin as a block, which is freely movable and can stick to other blocks. Blocks can be unstuck by holding the ctrl-key while dragging them.

Commands:
Use /fortress or /ft to open the configuration (also accessible via Main Menu -> Interface -> Addons -> Fortress).

Configuration:
The configuration has two parts: The master settings and the individual plugin settings. At first each option is controlled by the master settings and therefore it has the same effect for each plugin. Once you change something individually for one plugin, this setting is no longer controlled by the master mode (for this plugin).
You can select the mode for each option at the "Select master" tab in each plugin's config screen.

Bug Reports:
To report a bug, please open a ticket here.

Is there a command I can use from, say, a macro or kgPanel, to hide individual blocks?

I was testing this after using Fubar for years -- am confused as to why, after saving each one of my toons' profile, when I start the game, all the blocks appear running vertically down the center of my screen. It's a serious pain to stop and reconfigure each time I change toons....am I missing some secret save command? Resetting and reloading the profile, copying a profile from a previously saved toon, etc., doesn't help. I'd like to know if I'm missing something, doing something wrong. Thanks!

Thats very strange, how do you exit WoW? The configuration may not be saved (sometimes) when you just close it via Alt-F4.
Otherwise, please check whether the folder World of Warcraft\WTF or World of Warcraft\WTF\<your Account>\SavedVariables are somehow write-protected.
Normally the configuration should be saved without any need to think about it...

Simple question: how to unlock an item from a block?

I've switched from Titan Panel. This is a great addon. My only problem is that I've customized it to use X-Perl borders and I think that Fortress is loading before X-Perl, as I always have to go into Fortress and change any setting in order to force a refresh after I load the UI. This is needed even after a reload, not just the first time. If that's what's causing this, is it be possible to refresh Fortress after everything's loaded, say during "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" or "VARIABLES_LOADED" events?

I love this addon and prefer it to Titan Bar or FuBar. I do have a few requests? I'd like to see an option to disable tooltips in combat and pull them up with a control command instead of mouseover only.

Thank you for your work on this!

Is there a way to make the labels not show up on mouse over? For example, I have several addons I just use the icon for. Lets use Ara Broker Tradeskills as an example. I use just the icon for ABTs which shows the last skill I used and I can just click on it to reopen, or hover and the tooltip menu opens and I can get it. I have used this with both Chocolate Bar and Bazooka without issue. However, when I use fortress (which I want to use for better layout control) and set no text, no label, and leave the icon checked, it is fine until I mouse over, then the label pops back up and stays there until I reload UI or move zones or enter an instance. This normally wouldn't be a big deal, except it is right next to other ldb plugins and if I mouse over several they all pop up with their name covereing each other and it is a big mess.

Every time after you sign off and come back in, the border and its color needs to be reset. The setting is there, you can see it in the interface but it is not being read. Thanks for your time and help
