HudMap

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

HudMap is still beta!

I'd love for people to start using it, chewing on it, trying it out. Tell me what you like, what you don't, what breaks, and what you'd like to see. Bugs are to be expected, though it's fairly stable at this point. There are a lot of directions that the mod could go, and I'd love feedback.

Additionally, if you play WoW in a non-English language, you're invited to help by localizing HudMap into your client's language. We need translators!

What is it?

HudMap is an addon that provides a true heads-up tactical display of an encounter, with raid member positions, range data, debuff area-of-effect indicators, and more.

Additionally, HudMap ships with totem radius indicators. In general, if you want to do range or player-to-player directional stuff, HudMap's your huckleberry.

FAQ

How do I toggle the HUD?

Left-click the LibDataBroker icon, or set a key binding in the HudMap options to toggle the map on and off.

Can I move or resize the HUD?

Absolutely. Right-click on the LibDataBroker icon, or go to Interface Options -> AddOns -> HudMap -> Adaptive Zoom -> Set Area. This will let you define the location and size of the map.

Can I turn [specific feature] off?

Yes! HudMap is very flexible. Though it comes with some functionality turned on, there are lots of options and you can tweak it to your preferences to show as much or as little as you'd like.

How do I request a new feature?

Just create a feature request ticket. That's the best way to ask for new functionality!

Can I use this in to replace AVRe? Possibly. You can use it in a similar manner, though it definitely takes a very different approach to information display. HudMap is designed to give you proximity awareness of your partymates and areas that are potentially hazardous due to proximity or some other effect that boss mods generally warn you about. In that sense, yes, it's a replacement.

However, HudMap is not going to let you annotate the world, add additional data over physical locations, or let you draw obscene pictures on Arthas before you pull him. HudMap does nothing to emulate or project 3D data, and never will. Additionally, feature parity is not a goal of the project - some information is better presented in AVR than it will ever be in HudMap, and I'm not going to try to replicate that. Other data will fit HudMap better naturally, and those pieces will be actively pursued.

Is this addon going to get banned because Blizzard doesn't like AVR?

To head off the inevitable, I've already asked Blizzard directly if this is kosher in light of the AVR breakage. They have not indicated that it is a violation of the rules. Until they indicate otherwise, HudMap will be developed and updated. The impression I get is that Blizzard's primary complaint was with AVR's ability to draw pseudo-3D images over the game world, which is outside of the scope of what the UI was intended to be able to do. HudMap doesn't do any of that.

Extending HudMap

Have an idea for a range feature? It's easy to implement one. Just see modules\example.lua for a simple framework upon which you can build your own modules.

Is there any function to create a countdown timer on totem, or duration of debuffs on player?

I added support for demonic circle. Save this as demonicCircle.lua in the modules sub folder:

local modName = "Demon Portal Range"
local parent = HudMap
local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("HudMap")
local mod = HudMap:NewModule(modName, "AceEvent-3.0", "AceTimer-3.0")
local db
local demonicCircle = {}
local demonicCircleSummon = GetSpellInfo(48018)
local demonicCircleTeleport = GetSpellInfo(48020)

local options = {
	type = "group",
	name = "Demonic Circle",
	args = {
		enable = {
			type = "toggle",
			name = L["Enable"],
			get = function()
				return db.enable
			end,
			set = function(info, v)
				db.enable = v
			end
		}
	}
}

local defaults = {
	profile = {
		enable = true
	}
}

function mod:OnInitialize()
	self.db = parent.db:RegisterNamespace(modName, defaults)
	db = self.db.profile
	parent:RegisterModuleOptions(modName, options, modName)
end

function mod:OnEnable()
	db = self.db.profile
	if (select(2,UnitClass("player")) == "WARLOCK") then
		self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
		self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")
	end
end

function mod:OnDisable()
	demonicCircle = {}
	if (select(2,UnitClass("player")) == "WARLOCK") then
		self:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
		self:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")
	end
end

local function MarkDemonicCircleReady()
	demonicCircle.marker:SetColor(0, 1, 0, 1)
end

local function MarkDemonicCircleOnCD()
	demonicCircle.marker:SetColor(1, 0, 0, 1)
end

local function CreateDemonicCircleMarker()
	local x, y = HudMap:GetUnitPosition("player")
	demonicCircle.marker = HudMap:PlaceRangeMarker("radius", x, y, "40yd", nil, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	if GetSpellCooldown(demonicCircleTeleport) == 0 then
		MarkDemonicCircleOnCD()
	else
		MarkDemonicCircleReady()
	end
end

local function RemoveDemonicCircleMarker()
	demonicCircle.marker:Free()
	demonicCircle.marker = nil
end

function mod:DemonicCircleTeleportOffCD()
	demonicCircle.onCooldown = nil
	if demonicCircle.marker then
		MarkDemonicCircleReady()
	end
end

function mod:UNIT_AURA(event, unit)
	if unit ~= "player" then
		return nil
	end
	local _, _, _, _, _, _, demoniceCirclePresent =
		UnitBuff("player", "Demonic Circle: Summon")
	if demoniceCirclePresent and not demonicCircle.marker then
		print("Demonic Circle established!")
		CreateDemonicCircleMarker()
	elseif not demoniceCirclePresent and demonicCircle.marker then
		print("Demonic Circle timed out!")
		RemoveDemonicCircleMarker()
	end
end

function mod:UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED(event, unit, name, rank, lineId, spellID)
	if unit == "player" and spellID == 48018 then
		if demonicCircle.marker then
			RemoveDemonicCircleMarker()
		end
		CreateDemonicCircleMarker()
	elseif unit == "player" and spellID == 48020 then
		demonicCircle.onCooldown = 1
		MarkDemonicCircleOnCD()
		self:ScheduleTimer("DemonicCircleTeleportOffCD", 30)
	end
end

Then add a line with:

modules\demonicCircle.lua

To the modules section of HudMap.toc in the main folder. Enable the add, and voila! Currently displays green dots when demonic circle isn't on cd, turns red when it's on cd. Good help for encounters such as last phase of Chimaeron.

For those of you interested in cataclysm encounters for hudmap, you can download a module to add them here.

and @86d, I don't need any donations, but data on new mechanics that can be added is always appreciated. Make a ticket on the hudmap cata encounters page if you can think of anything.

@0wn3d

Tyvm for your reply. I am extremely excited to see this project is still alive. This addon has helped me train many new raiders with much success! I am looking forward to having this in my arsenal of training tools for new raiders/and advanced ones alike.

Is there any data/donations/etc we as fans can do to assist in development ?

I did realize that you can track it (I was just using the wrong spellid for the aura), and it has been added in the cata encounter module I am creating for HudMap. Unfortunately there appears to be an error with either my encounter files or with HudMap that isn't allowing encounter files outside the HudMap addon directory to work with HudMap, so the module I am making is staying in alpha until it gets fixed.

twilight meteorite can be tracked by UNIT_AURA, it doesn't show in CLEU. Bugt it is doable Own3d. just look at how other mods do it like bigwigs or dbm. another example of one that doesn't show in combat log at all is "Pestered!" on atramedes heroic

@Megalithe

If you are talking about adding new encounters, than yes I have been able to add a few (Although it isn't perfect, as far as I know it only works in 10 man normal because I didn't use all the spellids).

All of these files go in the zones folder:

blackwing.lua

local encounters = HudMap:GetModule("Encounters")
local HudMap = _G.HudMap
local UnitName, UnitIsDead = _G.UnitName, _G.UnitIsDead
local parent = HudMap
local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("HudMap")
local SN = parent.SN

local function register(e)	
	encounters:RegisterEncounterMarker(e)
	return e
end

local free = parent.free

local omnotron = {
	name = L["Omnotron Defense System"],
	startEncounterIDs = 42180, 42178, 42179, 42166,
	endEncounterIDs = 42180, 42178, 42179, 42166,
	options = {
		conductor = SN[79888],
	},
	defaults = {
		conductorColor = {r = .9, g = .9, b = 1, a = 0.6},
	},
	conductor = {},
	SPELL_AURA_APPLIED = function(self, spellID, sourceName, destName, sourceGUID, destGUID)
		if self:Option("conductorEnabled") and spellID == 79888 then
			local r, g, b, a = self:Option("conductorColor")
			self.conductor[destName] = register(HudMap:PlaceRangeMarkerOnPartyMember("highlight", destName, 10, 15, r, g, b, a):Rotate(360, 6):Appear():SetLabel(destName))  -- Range on conductor?  15 to be safe.
		end
	end,
}

encounters:RegisterModule(L["Blackwing Descent"], omnotron)

bastion.lua

local encounters = HudMap:GetModule("Encounters")
local HudMap = _G.HudMap
local UnitName, UnitIsDead = _G.UnitName, _G.UnitIsDead
local parent = HudMap
local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("HudMap")
local SN = parent.SN

local function register(e)	
	encounters:RegisterEncounterMarker(e)
	return e
end

local free = parent.free

local valiona = {
	name = L["Valiona and Theralion"],
	startEncounterIDs = 45992, 45993,
	endEncounterIDs = 45992, 45993,
	options = {
		blackout = SN[86788],
		magic = SN[86622],
		meteor = SN[86013],
	},
	defaults = {
		blackoutColor = {r = 1, g = 0.4, b = 1, a = 0.6},
		magicColor = {r = 1, g = 1, b = 1, a = 0.6},
		meteorColor = {r = 0.3, g = 0.3, b = 0.7, a = 0.8},
	},
	blackout = {},
	magic = {},
	meteor = {},
	SPELL_AURA_APPLIED = function(self, spellID, sourceName, destName, sourceGUID, destGUID)
		if self:Option("blackoutEnabled") and spellID == 86788 then
			local r, g, b, a = self:Option("blackoutColor")
			self.blackout[destName] = register(HudMap:PlaceRangeMarkerOnPartyMember("highlight", destName, 8, 15, r, g, b, a):Rotate(360, 5):Appear():SetLabel(destName))
		elseif self:Option("magicEnabled") and spellID == 86622 then
			local r, g, b, a = self:Option("magicColor")
			self.magic[destName] = register(HudMap:PlaceRangeMarkerOnPartyMember("highlight", destName, 10, 20, r, g, b, a):Rotate(360, 5):Appear():SetLabel(destName))
		elseif self:Option("meteorEnabled") and spellID == 86013 then
			local r, g, b, a = self:Option("meteorColor")
			self.meteor[destName] = register(HudMap:PlaceRangeMarkerOnPartyMember("highlight", destname, 6, 30, r, g, b, a):Rotate(360, 12):Appear():SetLabel(destName))
		end
	end,
	SPELL_AURA_REMOVED = function(self, spellID, sourceName, destName, sourceGUID, destGUID)
		if spellID == 86788 then
			self.blackout[destName] = free(self.blackout[destName])
		elseif spellID == 86013 then
			self.meteor[destName] = free(self.meteor[destName])
		end
	end
}

encounters:RegisterModule(L["Bastion of Twilight"], valiona)

Make sure to add these 2 lines to the toc file: modules\zones\blackwing.lua modules\zones\bastion.lua

Feel free to change these however you want, I did this a while ago and haven't really felt like updating them.

Edit: Btw, this was done way earlier in the expansion when I hadn't seen most of the end bosses, and valiona/omnotron were the only ones where I could think hudmap could be useful, at least on normal mode it wouldn't be useful on: Magmaw, Nefarian, Atramedes, and Halfus, and would have really lackluster use on chim/maloriak. I could see it being useful on TAC for lightning rod, and on Cho'gall for shadow crashes. I'm thinking I might actually try to work on completing this for the whole tier (At least on normal mode for now, I haven't really been doing heroic modes).

One more thing, I'm fairly certain the meteor thing on valiona that I put in doesn't work (I believe it might be impossible for it to be tracked by hudmap, not sure though).

Know bug with the GetPlayerMapPosition() function, which won't be fixed until next patch, whenever that is. So among all the other Hudmap bugs(I'm slowly starting to try and fix ones I'm skilled enough to handle), this API bug won't allow Hudmap to work at all until a patch is released.

The only other issue I'm aware of (other than party/raid coordinates being broken but that's a Blizzard bug) is SetMaxFramerate.

If you have any fixes I'd appreciate it if you could post them or send them my way. I'm not the author, but I've committed a couple fixes to hudmap before and can get them in, since Antiarc seems to be afk or at least not maintaining it.

It's not terribly useful right now since party coordinates are broken (blizzard bug). When 4.1.0a comes out I'll tag it for release so that the fixed version ends up here.

same problem in MikScrollingBattleText... on the curse page are the solution... it works for me.

multiple times in the addon, one example:

party.lua 548:
function mod:COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED(ev, timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, spellID, spellName, ...)
