Okay, as Bant did a wonderful setup of his dream mockup I liked the idea of an xpbar as part of FuBar, so here it is. Note, it's not quite as pretty as Bant's, but my skill with textures leaves a lot to be desired =P
is it basically. It doesn't have bells or whistles. It won't tell you how many kills you've done, and how many to go. What it will do is give you your currentxp/max (percent%), rested and 'to go' for your xp. If you open up a chat (/p /w /g etc) you can click on the FuXP tab to print your current standing.
It sticks to the furthest edge of the panel you place the plugin on (ie, the bottommost top panel or the topmost bottom panel) and you can change the colours of the various states.
You can also set it to show rep gain, by 'watching' a faction, in your rep tab on the character sheet. The tooltip will then update and you'll see 'FuRepFu', and the onclick functionality will change to tell how much you have to go to your next rep level.

this is really cool :) i'm so stoked that someone liked an idea enough to put it into motion :)
as i posted in my mockup thread, if you'd like me to package some textures i'd be more than happy!
That'd be great =) Send them to me at wobster@gmail and I'll apply them. Just recall that the dimensions will have to be a power of 2. ie 64x256 or 16x128 or something =)
Just has to be in powers of 2. My inital guess would be something like 16x48 would suffice. It can always be scaled down too. TGA format, and don't forget about the alpha channel :P
I wasn't super familiar with creating textures like this, so I wasn't confident in giving you anything without being sure it'd work...so i messed around in the LUA and managed to get it all functioning. I think... hehe.
here it is repackaged, do with it what you will :) I'm happy with it!
Is it possible to have it display some text (current/max, %) just on/below the texture? (not sure that's possible with fubar, but just curious.
Looks awesome though. Ever since I dismantled the standard blizz bars I needed a replacement for my rep bar. Think I've found it (FuFactions works great, but there's something satisfiing about watching a bar go up).

Bant, the texutures look great, but one complaint. Its obvious that the glow was made to be on a blue bar, and consequently when the XP bar is a differant color (mine is set to pink, er...lightish red) then the colors mix and make this weird purple mix. Might want to get the glow texture a bit more "white-centric" (thats not a word, but I hope you know what I mean.)
Make it place nice with other colors ^.^
Also Wobin: I think it would be a good idea to add the XP/XP Left text to the Plugin text, then I could completely replace the other ExperianceFu stuff I have with this tiny, lightweight no-frills mod.
Edit: I went into Photoshop and just took the alpha mask and plopped it onto all three color channels, resuting in a greyscale "burst". You may want to tweak it a bit to not be so strong, but it plays nicely with other color'd bars now (as the glow only contains the color white and transparency)
Edit2: Boo at not allowing attching tga files. Have a zip instead.
I'm still getting the GetPanel (a nil value) error, but this time it referenced line 86. At least this time it actually put the plugin into my FuBar instead of making FuBar go away all together. ;)

Yup, thanks for the great addon :) was looking for something like that since ExpRepGlueFu was released :P

*facepalm*
I -knew- I was forgetting something!
*embarassed look*
It should work now =P
Hehehe no worries = )
Gonna have to try it out later = )

Am I doing something wrong? :\

Now has a thickness slider and hopefully fixed the attempt to call method 'GetPanel' (a nil value) error
Edit: It also referenced line 242.
