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.

I'am looking for a script that when I have a target, the panel over the actionbar moves slowly up and if no target moves slow down.

That would be Sick! This is one of the funtions of kgpanels i've yet to play with. I really like combining lots of little tga's using kgpanels and then using Skinner to get my viewport, so I have more screen realestate. Seems to work really well together.

I'm having a problem where I can't even figure out how to create a panel. I am able to active a layout and change settings of panels, but i don't have a panel to work with. doesn't seem like theres a create button anywhere. I'm guessing i'm overlooking something very obvious?

Watch the youtube Tutorial vid in the description. What you're talking about is around the 5 minute mark, but I'd highly suggest watching the whole thing in case you missed another step like creating a layout.

Watch the video as Rhodair said. You don't make layouts in game. Warcraft isn't photoshop or graphics design program.

Is there a way to change the layouts for different characters automatically? I have to do it manually.

Hi,
I just downloaded the update and my panels are still in the addon with the game, but nothing is showing up. I have "reloaded" out of date, clicked through each one, and done everything else I could think of. How do I re-enable the panels again? Thanks!

Ok, I have been working on this for about 12 hours now. I have read tutorial after tutorial, I have watched video after video, I have even gone to 8 different servers and spammed trade chat looking for someone to help me and still no dice.

I have been trying to add some textures to my panels. They are in .tga format, 512> and even numbered. my textures are in a separate folder in my interface directory. the path for example is \\interface\texture\image.tga. i have even tried \\interface\\texture\\image.tga and several different ways to do the pathing that all sorts of things told me to do and even not to do. I've tried about 68 different images and used several different programs to create and/or convert images. I have no idea what I should do any help would be appreciated.

I think I'm having a similar problem. I tried importing images that seem to follow the guidelines perfectly, but they wouldn't import.
I tested importing the icon.tga image found in the kgPanels folder, and that worked fine. Then I tried putting my images in the same folder, but that still didn't work. I tried making the same icon.tga image the size of one of my images, but that made the icon.tga file not work. I then tried importing various square images with multiples of 32 as a side length, and it worked up to and including 128. Anything higher doesn't work.
So I guess this addon only works with images up to 128x128. Pretty lackluster.

After some more testing I finally got it to work.
The image needs to be a square, and it needs to have a side dimension that's a multiple of 32, up to a maximum of 128.
So your options are 32x32, 64x64, 96x96, or 128x128.
Also, your images probably need to be inside the kgPanels folder. I initially had them in a folder inside the Interface folder, but it didn't read them there. After putting them in the kgPanels folder it worked.

Make sure you make a backup copy of that artwork folder. Otherwise, the next time kgpanels is updated, it will erase your folder with the panel artwork and you wont be able to restore it from the recycle bin. (If you have windows 7 you might be able to shadow restore it, but ALWAYS backup your shit.)

Trying to figure out how to set fonts for the Action Panel > NameOfPanel > Text Options > Font Drop Down Box, is greyed out.

Everything i have read says it will pick the fonts from Shared Media, but its not seeing the fonts from Shared Media or Shared Media Additional Fonts.

Both addons are installed correctly, since Pitbull, Skada, and every other mod i have tried, sees all the fonts from these 2 media addons.

What step am i missing, to change the fonts in KgPanels (allow the drop down menu to work)?

Any idea why my panels don't show the artwork when I log out and then back in? The panels stay in the right positions, and the border is fine - but the actual artwork is blank. I have to open the config and switch the background color style in each active panel from none to gradient or solid, and then back to none again to fix it. WIthin my AddOns folder I have a folder named atextures where all the artwork is stored. Thank you
