GridManaBars

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Adds manabars to the sides of Grid frames.

Description

GridManaBars consist of two parts: a new bar indicator and a status which provides the power (mana, energy, rage, runepower) of an unit as a status. If you register the mana status with the bar indicator you get a mana bar (which should be set this way per default).

In case of Problems

Please use only the release versions of this addon! While I keep sure that every release version works with the latest Grid release I do not care if the latest alpha or beta versions do. I care even less if the latest alpha or beta of GridManaBars works with the latest alpha or beta of Grid. So if you encounter problems first make sure you are using the release version because if not it might happen I'll just ignore your ticket/question/whatever :-).

Note: GridManaBars has to hack itself somewhat into Grid in a way not supported by Grid. Most times this works well but it can cause trouble (especially after an update of Grid). So if you encounter any Problems with Grid and you have this addon installed try disabling GridManaBars before you create a ticket for Grid itself. If the problem disappears when you disable GridManaBars you can create a ticket for this addon instead for Grid itself. The authors of Grid have enough tickets to handle they don't need to handle tickets caused by this addon too.

Maybe, just maybe you should update GridManaBars too? Don't you think that might help? No? Yes? xD

heh, apparently I can't read correctly. 1.01 looked like 1.11 in my poor addled brain. Sorry about that.

If nobody tells me what the exact problem is I have no chance to fix it since everything works fine at my PC.

Using the most current version of Grid (1304) causes GridManaBars to function strangely for me. It will not display any mana bars when first loaded. If I check or uncheck one of the boxes "Ignore Pets" or "Ignore non-mana" it refreshes Grid's status somehow and shows a snapshot of the current mana bars, but they do not move as mana levels change. I've tried reinstalling GridManaBars, which doesn't seem to help. Is there anything else that I can provide about this problem? I don't know what else to try or if this is even a GridManaBars issue (since it started when Grid itself was updated).

You need to ad local GridFrame = Grid:GetModule("GridFrame") at the very beginning of the GridManaBar.lua for it to work with 3.3.5.

I had a similiar problem and had a look at the code after I read your comment. I couldn't find that line even though my Curse Client told me that I had version 1.11. So I reinstalled GridManaBars. Suddently the line was in the code and GridManaBars worked again. :-)

At least for me it was more of a Curse Client issue than a GridManaBars issue. Maybe it's the same for some of the others who've reported problems.

People have asked for a way to make mana bars start full with a blue color, then deplete as you use mana like it would in a normal unit frame. There is no function for this in the GridManaBars, unless you invert the colors for the health bars. (Normal grid health bars start empty and fills as you take damage). To do this you need to open the file "GridManaBar.lua", then search for "prototype:SetManaBarColor".

Copy paste this over the code that starts with "function ManaBarGridFrameClass.prototype:SetManaBarColor(col)" and ends with the second "end":

function ManaBarGridFrameClass.prototype:SetManaBarColor(col)
if GridFrame.db.profile.invertBarColor then
--DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("using inverted colours")
self.frame.ManaBar:SetStatusBarColor(0,0,0,0.8)
self.frame.BarMBG:SetVertexColor(col.r,col.g,col.b,col.a)
else
--DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("using noninverted colours")
self.frame.ManaBar:SetStatusBarColor(col.r,col.g,col.b,col.a)
self.frame.BarMBG:SetVertexColor(0,0,0,0.8)
end
end

What this does is essentially just swap the colors, now the bar will be fully blue when your mana is full, and as you use mana it will fill with black starting from the right side.

Can we get this as an option somewhere? I don't want to tweak this then when a update comes out have to remember what I did before to fix it.

Thanks!

Just a thought: would you be inclined at all to write a mod that adds more bars? Vuhdo has hot bars that tick down similar to the way your mana bars do, and I'm about to test out GridControlPipes to change your mana bars to track a hot, but it would be great to be able to add another bar or two to be able to track more hots, or 1 hot as well as mana. Just wanted to put that out there, thanks for all your work on this mod as is, it is incredibly useful for me as a grid user.

Sorry at least me won't do this because of two reasons:

1. Grids concept is as little information as possible and as much as necessary. Maybe there are people which can handle 25*x different moving bars but most people just get distracted/confused.

2. I'm not sure why one would need more than one bar. I can't imagine that one need to know for every single hot how much duration of it is exactly remaining. If you need to display more than one duration you can work with threshold driven on/off indicators or different priorities on the same indicator.
