SmallBlizRaidFrames

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Delete any old SmallerBlizzardRaidFrames folder. The new folders are SmallBlizRaidFrames and SmallBlizRaidFrames_Options.

Makes the Blizzard raid frames half their normal size, while scaling up names, buffs, and icons to keep them readable.

- /sbrf for options.

- Can fill hp vertically, in addition to horizontally.

- Optionally center names.

- Optionally move or hide buffs, debuffs, and dispellable debuffs.

- Options for frame height and width are still in Blizzard's Interface Options / Raid Frames.

- The mod is pretty tiny. Most of what you see in the file size is the config UI which only loads when requested.

Credits

The inspiration for this came from a forum post by Shamanbrian, with macros to manipulate the Blizzard size sliders to lower values. Also Dridzt was working on something similar, and explained taint issues to me. Unfortunately all of these implementations cause taint. The current implementation is different and in some ways limited, but doesn't cause taint.

I'm not going to update this. If someone else wants it, they can PM me.

Also I'm considering quitting addon development permanently, because of the huge amount of daily quests in MoP. The massive daily quest time sink makes it almost impossible to find spare time for addons anymore, and even if things change in the future, I'm so resentful at Blizzard for forcing that time sink on us, that I may never do something charitable (like help with addons) again.

Any plans to update this addon for Mists of Pandaria? I prefer the built-in raid UI but even the minimum setting is too big and distracting.

This need's an update, I'm getting like 100 errors.

Anyone know if there is another addon that is basically the same or better seeing as it's busted?

I love this addon!

I used grid for years but this is much lighter.

Are you planning on making agro more visable? I had my grid set up to turn a players health bar pure red when they had agro. Made it easy to tank in 25s

As I've said before I love this mod, it's so much better than the huge ones Bliz gave us. I do have one tiny issue, I have the grps set to the smallest possible and the "groups and numbers" are so small you can't read them. It was not like that with the previous SBRF.
Is there a way to make them the same size as the names. I looked for them but I'm not a programer,,,hehe far from it but I can change it if I just new where to look.

Hi, i'd like to suggest to use the Addon UnobtrusiveCompactRaidManager as a proper supplementation to this one. It resizes the collapsed raid tools menue for raid leaders and officers to a less obtrusively size.

This mod is almost what I'd like.. looking forward to future versions! It would be nice to be able to have the groups "grow" from the right and/or bottom edges. I place my raid frames near the bottom right of the screen. Strange as it sounds, I'd have three ideal setups. For 10mans, bottom-right anchored groups 1-2. For 25mans, groups 1-5 all on the bottom row. For 40mans, groups 1-4 on the bottom and groups 5-8 above them. Wish I knew lua code lol.... thanks for working on this!

It's not likely I'll get to that before Cataclysm. Resizing the fonts and looking into the bug reports on aggro-highlight borders are the main things I want done for Cata. Also a lot of users want a way to sort the frames right-to-left, and while I suspect it's not possible I still have to spend some time trying and seeing what can be done.

If I do add to the frames, the first thing will be raid icons since it's the most requested. Then I can look at other things.

I've got some problems with this addon, the raidframe becomes too small, especially the text can't be recognized. I'm playing at zhTW server, maybe some font issue?
Thank you for this addon whatever.

In the next version I'm going to try options to change or resize the font. Hopefully this will have a solution for you.

Any chance this will be able to show AFK, Feign Death, Rezzing, etc tags in the future?

Thanks!

Hi, I also like your addon, but I modified it, so it doesn't display buffs (with buffs, it's nearly unusable for a healer).

I don't know if I even need the debuffs, as I use "SimpleRaidFrameOverlay" which is a better implementation than the blizzard way of showing buff icons.

So I would really appreciate an option to disable the buff/debuff display ;)

The new version today has a way to disable or move any of the buff types. :)

Do you plan to extend your addon a bit; for example disable showing buffs/etc? For example I don't care if all people have my hunter aura on them.

Or an option to sort by class - for example with an option to show maintanks first would be nice.

And seems that I have a problem with the buffscaling; My two buffs are as big as the whole box for the player, so I cannot see playernames etc anymore.

I don't recommend turning Height down all the way until there's an option to hide buffs. Some people wanted it, so the option is there, but right now I think the mod is most useful with Height turned up all the way. Then you can either turn Width down to make squares, or turn Width up to make rectangles.
