About SimpleUnitFrames

SimpleUnitFrames is an extension to the default WoW Unit Frames. Rather than a complete unitframe replacement, this addon adds further information and features to the existing frames and allows a greater degree of customization to enhance their usability.

The v2.x.x series of SimpleUnitFrames involved a complete re-write of the code, however credits go to Rophy and xan for their original work on the v1.x.x series.

All configuration for SimpleUnitFrames can be performed through the Interface Options panel which can be opened through the slash commands /simpleunitframes or /suf, or through ESC -> Interface -> AddOns Tab -> SimpleUnitFrames.

HP, Mana, Energy, Rage & Runic Power Display

The default unitframes only allow either [total]/[max] or [percent] values to be shown on HP and mana bars, however SimpleUnitFrames provides several default overlay options or a method to create your very own styles using LibDogTag-3.0 syntax (also available through the in-game /dog command).

Modules

SimpleUnitFrames comprises the following modules which enhance each frame:

Class Icon Display
Text Overlays
Custom Text Overlay Styles
Portrait Damage Display
Bar Textures

Supported Frames

SimpleUnitFrames supports the following frames, each with their own customizations available:

Player
Pet
Target
TargetOfTarget
Party
PartyPet
Focus
FocusTarget
Boss

Localization

For translators wishing to create/update translations for other languages than enUS, please do so though the Localization Page.

Bugs & Development

While the best effort is made to ensure that release quality zips do not have any bugs, inevitably errors slip through. If you encounter a bug, please ensure that it has not already been fixed in a more recent beta/alpha release or reported already on the ticket tracker. If the bug persists even in the latest development build and has not been reported, please post a ticket on the Project Tickets Page

Please report bugs and suggest features via the Ticket page rather than using the comments section as it provides a single point of reference to track the development of the addon.

Development builds of SimpleUnitFrames can always be found on the Project Files Page.

I'm looking for a unit frame mod that changes nothing about the appearance of the unit frames but allows me to drag them where I please.

Thanks Pneumatus!Here are my styles for anyone else who could have some use of em:
[Go to custom text style>New style and give the following values to DogTag String,remember to change the style type whether it's HP or MP]

Custom Style HP 1: [Status or (FractionalHP)]
Displays your current HP compared to your max HP, ex. 16023/20132
Custom Style HP 2: [PercentHP:Round:Percent]
Displays your current HP as a % value without fractions, ex 78%
Custom Style HP 3: [Status or (FractionalHP ' ' PercentHP:Percent)]
Displays your current HP compared to your max HP and %, ex 16023/20132 78%

As for MP Style it's the same values with MP instead of HP in the dogtag strings and style type!

Update.. as i was messin around. It does "save" the profile, if i make some setting choices.. then type in a profile name and hit okay, or if i set one up on 1 char, logout, go into a diff char, then load the previous char's profile, i get the error, but then if i logout and log back in, it loads the settings from the profile i chose. So the profiles work, just not correctly until reload.

And if possible a way to make HP and MP appear as current HP/max HP for example 20128/21891 and not 20,1k/21,8k?Thanks again!

Create custom styles for HP and mana with [FractionalHP] for HP and [FractionalMP] for mana.

Hello there,is there any way to make a custom text style which shows the percentage % without the fraction,for example 78% instead of 78.3%.I have read DogLib and tried [PercentHP:Percent(unit="player")] which is [[HP(unit=unit) / MaxHP(unit=unit) * 100]:Round(1)].It takes the current hp of the unit substracts it with the maxhp and then substract it again with 100.Any way around this?Also is there any way to add more fonts to the options?Thanks in advance!

[PercentHP:Round:Percent] will give HP in percent with no decimal places, followed by a Percent sign.

As for additional fonts, SUF will grab any fonts registered with LibSharedMedia-3.0, so addons such as SharedMedia and SharedMediaAdditionalFonts and any of the "complete font replacement" mods that use LSM like MiniType will give more fonts.

Also, the mouse "hit" area on the unit frames seems a little weird. Sometimes I have to click two or three times on a portrait to switch target.. Sometimes it doesn't seem to register the clicks. I'm reverting back to the older version for now.

The newest version is not reporting vehicle health correctly. I'm doing the Argent Tournament daily quests, and it reports my vehicle as having only 17.3k health, while if you target my vehicle, you get 75k health.

While I thought I had tested everything I guess it's inevitable that bugs slip through. The text switching has been fixed in alphas and will be in the next release. I've not been able to reproduce any issues with switching targets by clicking the frames though, all text overlays are 'transparent' for clicks. If you are able to offer any further hints into how it's reproducible I'll investigate more.

It's hard to replicate consistently. It's more about a "feel" thing. On Priest, the previous version of SUF was very responsive. Every mouse click around the area of the portrait selected the units easily.

Today, when healing with the new version, it just didn't seem to register click as well as the old version. Sometimes it feels like it got "stuck". Sometimes it felt like I couldn't click through the health bar, and sometimes it felt like I couldn't click through the portrait.

It's like I had to be very precise with my click selection now, where before I can click within the general vicinity...

If feels like... either the hit area got smaller, or maybe the mouse onRelease event is more sensitive to small movements and won't register properly?

I've managed to locate the issue - it appears that I was creating the class icons as buttons rather than normal frames, which meant they were blocking click-through to the unitframe (so any clicks on, or around the class icons were being lost). This has been fixed in the latest alpha and will of course be included in the next release version, thanks for the report!

a lack of an actual options menu really hold this mod back. typing in these commands having no idea what they'll do is a real pain.

I absolutely agree that it needs an options menu, and the next big update will include this, however there's a lot of code that's getting re-written to generally make it more efficient.
