whats that and how i solve it ?

Quick question:
IS there another addon that offers "Assist View and MT Targets -X perl Raid Helper* like this addon does?  

Thank you!

Questions about Malkorok:

Is there any chance to get a solution to show the ancient barrier in the malkorok fight with X-Perl?

I have a question about the Range Radar. My Range Radar keeps popping up randomly, even when I have it disabled. Is this a bug, or is there some other way around this?

Im using x-perl with grid and im wondering if there is any way i could hide the party frames to never show at all?

When I exit combat most of the time I receive the following error code. Has been going on for a few weeks now.

a quick-and-dirty-fix is to change row 588 in XPerl_Raid.lua

from:

if(not self or self == 1) then

to:   

if(not self or self == 1 or self == 2) then

I don't think it is necessarily a bug, rather than I have missed an option to tick, that's why I post it here...

first time i started XPerl in options/arrangement mode, the 10/11 raid groups had a black background, so that i had a preview for arranging them

since then, the black background for the raid groups in options-mode is gone (the black background for the group window persists)

the groups' names are still displayed, but I have no chance to arrange them outside of a ride, because the preview-black-background is gone

how can i re-activate the black background for the raid groups in options-mode?

edit: deleting the savedvariables for xperl and clearing the wow cache folder solved the problem for me...just had to configure xperl again

Thanks very much for your help.  I'm 100% sure the problem is on my end, I just figured I would ask in case the fix was an easy one.

Since it's just the cast bar that is bugging me, I'll probably either just get used to it, or disable the Xperl castbar and use another addon for that.

Thanks again =)

Matt

I wanted to note that the problem I was having spontaneously fixed itself.  My cast bars are back to super smooth animation, and the problem was obviously on my end.

Apologies for cluttering up your comments section; I should have used the ticket system in the first place.  You could delete this whole thread if you want =)

Thanks again,

Matt

Hello,

First off, thanks for all your work that has gone into Xperl over the years.  I have used it since, well, as long as I can remember, on every toon I make.  =)

To put it simply, I am suffering from poor framerates in my cast bars.  The bars fill up in visible chunks rather than filling up smoothly, pixel line by pixel line, as they used to.

On very slow casts, i.e. 3-10 seconds or more, the problem is not extremely noticable, though it is still visible.  On casts quicker than that, however, the "fill" framerate is very low.  This is even more frustrating because the "spark" is moving as smooth as ever.  It is only the "fill" of the bar, that appears in large chunks, bit by bit.

I must also mention that my computer stays pegged at a rock-solid 60fps during 100% of my gameplay time.  I have my performance indicator situated directly above my unit frame, so it is easy to see that my overall framerate is not dipping when I see the cast bar fill problem.

I've tried disabling all addons other than Xperl, and the problem still persists.  The problem also persists on both factions, any race and any class.

Any suggestions on a fix I can attempt to remedy this?

Thanks for the reply.  I'd be willing to entertain that as a solution to the problem if the cast bars weren't the only thing on my screen with the poor framerate problem.  My overall WoW is running at a solid 60fps (three times that if I disable Vsync), none of my other addons that have any animation whatsoever are suffering from low framerates, and most important of all, the "spark" on the cast bar is chugging along just as smooth as ever.  It's only the fill that looks terrible.

The nail in the coffin for Xperl is the fact that if I enable the old "classic" standard WoW cast bar, the fill rate on that bar is super smooth too.  No "chunk fills".

This is a shame because as petty of a thing as this would appear to be, over the years and countless thousands of hours of gameplay, I've learned to time my casts to the progress of that bar.  It's second nature to me where my GCD falls and when I can fire off another cast, based on the position of that bar.  And I time this viewing the bar only out of the corner of my eye.  But now the bar is useless, as the "spark" is usually ahead of the "fill", which is dropping in chunk by  chunk.  Often whatever spell I am casting actually fires off befor the last "chunk" even falls into place.

I would screenshot this activity, but I don't see the point, as it's going to be impossible to demonstrate the framerate problem with a series of still images.  As for recording a video of the problem, I suppose I could do that, if absolutely necessary.  However, I only have software-based recording apps (Fraps) and as good as my system is, it simply will not record 1920x1080 @ 60fps.

Thanks for the reply.

My player frame is scaled to 80%.  I've tried at the minimum and maximum scale, and the problem persists.  I have a bit of extra width set, but I have tried at minimum and maximum width, and the problem persists.

I have no options selected on cast bars, other than having them enabled.  Note that a good way to reproduce and get a visual on the problem is to "Enable old cast bar".  If I do that, I have a good view of the Xperl cast bar and the old cast bar at the same time.  The old cast bar fills super smooth, and the xperl cast bar fills in blocks.

I'm running a Windows machine, with Windows 7 SP1.  My graphics card is an Nvidia 560 TI.

Does anyone know that how on earth I can remove the portrait text from my target i.e. hit indicator without actually using Xperl?
