kgPanels

Table of Contents

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

Manually downloading the latest version (1.4.2) fixed it for me. It's not marked for WOTLK, so the Curseforge client won't grab it.

Does anyone know how to hide a panel when in an instance (any size)?

Thank you!

i was using this script to change the panel color based on health

if event == "UNIT_HEALTH" or "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED" then

local p = UnitHealth('target') / UnitHealthMax('target')

local r1, g1, b1, a1, r2, g2, b2, a2

if p <= 0.5 then

p = p * 2

r1 = 1

g1 = 0

b1 = 0

a1 = .8

r2 = 1

g2 = 1

b2 = 0

a2 = .5

else

p = p * 2 - 1

r1 = 1

g1 = 1

b1 = 0

a1 = .5

r2 = 0

g2 = 0

b2 = 0

a2 = .25

end

local r3 = r1 + (r2-r1)*p

local g3 = g1 + (g2-g1)*p

local b3 = b1 + (b2-b1)*p

local a3 = a1 + (a2-a1)*p

self.bg:SetGradientAlpha("horizontal",r3,g3,b3,a3,0,0,0,0)

end

but now i get error? SetGradientAlpha is none? no, others still using it... maybe name of 'bg' changed? idk

please & thanks (sorry for formatting)

because of action targetting PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED is called more often sometimes with different stuff? adding

if (self.bg.SetGradientAlpha == nil) then return end

to top of block seems to fix it

Hey, LOVE this addon, but one of my panels keeps resetting its position no matter how many times I lock it, or reload, or even relog. It's always misplaced when I log back in. What can I do?

On the tutorial video, the patch to the .tga files DOES NOT start with "\\", it just simply starts with "Interface\".

I'm assuming the Blizzard API changed since that video was made.

Also, I made tried "\\" didn't work and that artwork would not work even when I fixed it: the name would not show in the Panel Texture Options. I had to delete the artwork and add it back in correctly.

Thank God for you!! I wish they allowed comment on that video it might actually be helpful to bounce ideas like this off of each other. It's not always negative feedback. I really needed this help to make an old addon with art work for me.

Not sure what is going wrong or if I am doing something wrong, but I cannot get the colors to save profile specific. It seems that all the profiles are changing the colors when I make adjustments on one profile.

Ive removed/reinstalled as I thought maybe the LUA was corrupt, still happening.

Any ideas?

For some reason, it will not let me reply below. Having the same issue with config not working. Have tried every way but config will do nothing when typed.

I went back to the last version I had installed from 2018. Funny enough, the addon did not work, obviously, but config DID work. It would pull up the config window.

Any ideas?

I have modified the files as per the mentions earlier, so far no error coming up, but commands are not working (/kgpanels config or layout or panels etc)

1- kgPanels.lua (inside\Interface\AddOns\kgPanels)
Line 400:
frame = CreateFrame("Frame","kgPanel"..panelIndex,parents["UIParent"])
to
frame = CreateFrame("Frame","kgPanel"..panelIndex,parents["UIParent"],"BackdropTemplate")

2- kgPanelGuideFrame.lua (inside\Interface\AddOns\kgPanelsConfig)
Line 34:
guide = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, frame)
to
guide = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, frame, "BackdropTemplate")

Any other changes that can help resolving this issue?

Not sure why this isn't working for you, it's working fine here. I've zipped up my addon files, maybe I made another change somewhere and forgot. Try and see if this works for you :)

many thanks for your prompt replay, means alot.

I have downloaded the shared files and check it in game, but again cant toggle /kgpanels config.

I asked a friend to downloads the files and toggle: /kgpanels config , and he got LUA error as below (maybe it will help to exclude the problem)

I can't reproduce this on my end, everything works fine. However, your error is pretty clear: Your client doesn't appear to load "LibDualSpec-1.0", which is then producing this error.

You could try installing LibDualSpec-1.0 separately and see if that works:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libdualspec-1-0

I don't actually run this lib separately as it is included in kgPanels, but I do run Ace3 separately. Might be worth a shot installing that:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ace3

I'm not really sure how to help you beyond that, sorry :(

I downloaded LibDualSpec-1.0 ==> And replace the old files.

Same for Ace, and included in Libs folders in kgpanels & config.

Sadly no success on toggling /kgpanels config

I sees it like a dead end.

Anyhow, thanks alot man for the support and the prompt reply, it lessen this problem :>
