As the title states I'm in need a programmers help.

I have put together a UI from other peoples creations (and yes i have asked each one for there permission to use and edit said addons). i can use the AddOn as is but it becomes a pain having to open the .lua edit it, save it, then reload WoW. My main goal is to make in-game options and be abel to have everything in a single file. Right now I have accompliched this with 2 Addons BasicUI and BasicUI_Config. The main issue with this is you have to do a /reload for any changes to to effect.

So for this project i change the UI name to cUI and would like some help figuring out how to get my UI to have the following:

1. In-Game options threw Blizzards Default AddOns Tab.
2. Help with understanding how this is accomplished and how creating functions happens.

I know there will be alot of people that say "Well i guess you should start reading on .lua coding." or "Stop being lazy, do the foot work and create it yourself.". I do understand the best way to learn how to do it is read up on it and learn. But for me to learn is to do and right now I'm stuck on the to do part, i have been trying for about 3 weeks to bring the config over to the main AddOn but nothing seems to work and if i do get it over there and showing when i change a option nothing happens.

So below is the main AddOn in working form (the cUI one), if needed i can also upload BasicUI if it is needed.

Thank you all for your time in reading this and thank you to anyone who decides to help out.

Zip of cUI: cUI.zip

Just a update. This was accually a small code given to me buy one of the guys on mmo forums.

	local bottom = function() end
	MainMenuBar:ClearAllPoints() MainMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOM",DataPanel,"TOP", 0, -4) MainMenuBar.ClearAllPoints = bottom MainMenuBar.SetPoint = bottom
	VehicleMenuBar:ClearAllPoints() VehicleMenuBar:SetPoint("BOTTOM",DataPanel,"TOP",0,8) VehicleMenuBar.ClearAllPoints = bottom VehicleMenuBar.SetPoint = bottom	

Moves the bars to where i want them without having any errors or incombat issues.

Hope this helps someone else.

ok Figured it out on my own "YAY"

I had to create a global db for this to work.

core:

local defaults = {
	profile = {
             },
	global = {
		gold = {},	
	},

Then the code in the datatext gold had to read:

-- Gold
if db.datatext.gold and db.datatext.gold > 0 then
	local Stat = CreateFrame('Frame')
	Stat:EnableMouse(true)
	Stat:SetFrameStrata('BACKGROUND')
	Stat:SetFrameLevel(3)

	local Text  = PanelLeft:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY')
	Text:SetFont(db.general.font, db.datatext.fontsize,'THINOUTLINE')
	PP(db.datatext.gold, Text)

	local Profit	= 0
	local Spent		= 0
	local OldMoney	= 0
	local myPlayerRealm = GetCVar('realmName');

	local function formatMoney(money)
		local gold = floor(math.abs(money) / 10000)
		local silver = mod(floor(math.abs(money) / 100), 100)
		local copper = mod(floor(math.abs(money)), 100)
		if gold ~= 0 then
			return format('%s'..L['|cffffd700g|r'], gold)
		elseif silver ~= 0 then
			return format('%s'..L['|cffc7c7cfs|r'], silver)
		else
			return format('%s'..L['|cffeda55fc|r'], copper)
		end
	end

	local function FormatTooltipMoney(money)
		local gold, silver, copper = abs(money / 10000), abs(mod(money / 100, 100)), abs(mod(money, 100))

		return cash
	end	

	local function OnEvent(self, event)
		if event == 'PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD' then
			OldMoney = GetMoney()
		end
				
		local NewMoney	= GetMoney()
		local Change = NewMoney-OldMoney -- Positive if we gain money
				
		if OldMoney>NewMoney then		-- Lost Money
			Spent = Spent - Change
		else						- Gained Money
			Profit = Profit + Change

I have a datatext that should create and save gold per charater. it not saving to the SavedVariables of my addon. If someone could help me figure this out that would be great.

Also the "Gold" code is inside the my datatext function.

function BasicUI:UpdateDatatext()

Again any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Quote from Dridzt

The ellipsis variable ... is passed by Blizzard to all lua files of an addon.

An ellipsis variable is a special kind of variable sometimes called a vararg as it can "contain" an indeterminate number of arguments,
that you can use select() to assign to individual variables.

At this moment the ellipsis variable passed to addons contains only 2 separate variables:
addonName
addonTable

The first one is just a string variable containing the name of your addon.
The second one is a "private" table that is available to all the addon files without needing to put it in _G, the game engine takes care of that.

So the code you posted is really nothing specific to Tukui.

You can use (or not) the contents of the vararg passed by Blizzard to each addon (hence your own as well) or not as you choose.

'engine' in the example code you posted is just a table name,
you can call it 'pinkflamingo' if you like, the main thing is it is a table shared among all your addon files.

ok, thank you for that info.

i've tried creating a addon with a engine created by someone else and would like to know how i would go about creating my own engine, as to not steal anothers idea.

The engine im refuring to is the one nightcracker made for the Tukui addon.

----------------------------------------------------------------
-- initiation of tukui
----------------------------------------------------------------

-- including system
local addon, engine = ...
engine[1] = {} -- T, functions, constants, variables
engine[2] = {} -- C, config
engine[3] = {} -- L, localization

Tukui = engine -- Allow other addons to use Engine

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--	This should be at the top of every file inside of the Tukui AddOn:	
--	local T, C, L = unpack(select(2, ...))

--	This is how another addon imports the Tukui engine:	
--	local T, C, L = unpack(Tukui)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This engine makes it possible to use constants like so T.<constant> and also alows you to grab your config changes like C['addon'].enable.

I was using this to get my addon to be able to work but am now looking at trying to use ace to do this. is there a simple way for ace to preform the same functions?

ive also seen poeple use:

local _, ns = ...
local config = ns.config

to grab there code from a config file.

ive been trying to get ace to understand the first type of engine but not going so good.

I still need to learn alot as far as functions and OnInitialize, and Onload and OnEnable/OnDisable, but to start you need to figure out how to get your info from one place to another.

Thanks

Coke

Ok Well looks like this is the best im going to get.




Thanks to everyone that helped.

Can anyone tell me how i would use the following code with Ace.

			<Button name="$parentApply" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="APPLY">
				<Size>
					<AbsDimension x="96" y="22"/>
				</Size>
				<Anchors>
					<Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT">
						<Offset>
							<AbsDimension x="-16" y="16"/>
						</Offset>
					</Anchor>
				</Anchors>
				<Scripts>
					<OnShow>
						self:Disable();
					</OnShow>
					<OnClick>
						PlaySound("igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn");
						VideoOptionsFrameOkay_OnClick(self, button, down, true);
						self:Disable();
					</OnClick>
				</Scripts>
			</Button>

it creates a "Apply" button on the video options frame and is disabled untill a option changes then then reloads the UI once its applied.

Thanks

Coke

Edit:
Ok i figured out how make my APPLY button but i would like it to be outside the scrolling window of my options so its visable all the time.

here is the codeim using:

		reloadUI = {
			type = "execute",
			name = "APPLY",
			desc = "Apply changes you made to the UI.",
			order = 20,
			func = 	function()
				ReloadUI()
			end,
		},

Quote from Dridzt

I'm not aware of any configuration changes requiring a reloadui to apply unless we're talking about "removing" hooksecurefunc hooks or some very specific cases of playing with secure frames.

This looks more like a problem with how you've implemented your options than with Ace.

1. You set a variable (this is now in memory) and at the same time do whatever changes are supposed to happen in response.

2. If that variable is stored in saved variables it will persist to disk next time the user exits or logs out of the game.

Why do you need to /reloadui I don't understand.

Edit: What I mean is you can apply the changes in your

set = function(info, value) 
-- apply changes to the addon from changing value
-- set value to my db for saving
end

I'm still new to this and trying to learn as i go. Alot of the lingo used i have to seach the net to find what it means. The Setfunction i am trying to use is as follows:

	get = function(info) return db.powerbar.rune[ info[#info] ] end,
	set = function(info, value) db.powerbar.rune[ info[#info] ] = value; end,

The default file is as follows:

DB['powerbar'] = {
	['enable'] = true,
	['sizeWidth'] = 200,
		
	['showCombatRegen'] = true, 
	['showSoulshards'] = true,
	['showHolypower'] = true,
	['showComboPoints'] = true,
	['showRuneCooldown'] = true,

	
	['energybar'] = true,
	['focusbar'] =  true,
	['manabar'] =  true,
	['ragebar'] = true,
	['runebar']= true,

	
	['combo'] = {
		['FontOutline'] = true,
		['FontSize'] = 16,	
	},
	
	['extra'] = {
		['FontOutline'] = true,	
		['FontSize'] = 16,
	},
	
	['rune'] = {
		['FontOutline'] = true,
		['FontSize'] = 16,		
	},
	
	['value'] = {	
		['Abbrev'] = true,	
		['FontOutline'] = true,
		['FontSize'] = 15,
	},	

}	

i think my biggest issue is trying use someone elses workings instead of trying to set things up myself.

I think its back to the drawing board to get this thing working right.

btw I created my main addon using the Tukui engine created by nightracker

----------------------------------
-- Engine to make all files communicate.

-- Credit Nightcracker
----------------------------------
 
-- including system
local addon, engine = ...
engine[1] = {} -- B, functions, constants
engine[2] = {} -- C, config
engine[3] = {} -- L, localization
engine[4] = {} -- DB, database, post config load

bdcUI = engine --Allow other addons to use Engine

--[[
	This should be at the top of every file inside of the bdcUI AddOn:
	
	local B, C, L, DB = unpack(select(2, ...))

	This is how another addon imports the bdcUI engine:
	
	local B, C, L, DB = unpack(bdcUI)
]]

With using this engine i setup a config file that all the "modules" in my addon use with "local B, C, L, DB = unpack(select(2, ...)) -- Import: B - function; C - config; L - locales; DB - Database". Now there has been only one person (that i know of) in the Tukui community that has made a GUI with Ace to run there UI. So i figured I would try there setup and was able to get it working with the changes i wanted to use instead of using the Default Tukui. I know its probably wrong and I'm learning now I should just start from scratch.

I will be back with more questions now that i'm going to give it a go.

First question on new setup is... With everything i want to add to the UI i have over 40 modules (most are for my datapanel) for different options. So the "Core" of the UI is going to be a 9,000 to 10,000 line file is that to much or does it matter?

I tried to ask over at wowinterface.com they said i should ask here so here goes.

Alot of my config options require a ReloadUI() right now its setup to pop up a staticpopup that will run ReloadUI() with ever config change.

What I'm looking for is a "APPLY" button in the lower right hand corner kinda like with the Blizzard Options screen where you can change things then hit the button and it will reload the UI.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Coke

Quote from Dridzt

Doesn't that create a new anonymous function every OnUpdate?

Why not just

Movebar:SetScript("OnUpdate", RaiseBars)

Furthermore why do you need to continuously move the bar?

That function is the only one i have found that when you enter a vehicle and exit it it puts the mainmenubar back to where it need to be. With the sliding effect blizzard uses when you enter a vehicle the vehiclebar without the OnUpdate function it covers my datapanel.

let me see if i can find the pics of what im talking about.

will post when i find them.

Edit: Ok here are some scrrenshots.

Without the OnUpdate function getting in a vehicle.


With OnUpdate enabled:


Without the OnUpdate function Exiting Vehicle:

(If you look at the gryphnos tail you can see the panel behind them)

With OnUpdate function exiting Vehicle:


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Maybe there is a better way to do this. I know other data bars such as Titan and Chocolatebar and Bazooka do this ive tried looking at there coeds but still am way to noobish at this to figure it out.

Hope this brings more light to what im saying.

Coke

Hello,
I currently have a method to move the Mainmenubar and Vehiclebar above my datatext panel but it seems to be a memory hog.

I was wondering if one of you fine programmers here could take a look at the code and maybe figure out what i did wrong or post a better code to move the bar up.

Here be DRAGONS:

	local Movebar = CreateFrame("Frame")
	local NeedsUpdate = false
	local function RaiseBars(self)
		-- Check if in combat lockdown, and set NeedsUpdate
		if InCombatLockdown() then
			NeedsUpdate = true
			return
		end

		--Update bars
		_G['MainMenuBar']:ClearAllPoints()
		_G['MainMenuBar']:SetPoint('BOTTOM', DataBorderPanel, 0, 32)
		_G['VehicleMenuBar']:ClearAllPoints()
		_G['VehicleMenuBar']:SetPoint('BOTTOM', DataBorderPanel, 0, 40)

	end
	Movebar:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() RaiseBars(); end)
	RaiseBars()

Not sure what your looking for but here is a simple way to create a font changing addon.

First get a editor i like to use Notepad++. Once you have your editor installed create the following:

First create a folder named: Fonts

Next will be the addons TOC file.

Copy and paste the below code into your editor and save it as font.toc to your Fonts folder.

## Interface: 40200
## Author: <your name>
## Version: 1.0
## Title: Fonts
## Notes: Change the size of in-game font.

core.lua

Now create the core of the addon.

Copy and paste the following code into your editor and save it as core.lua to your Fonts folder, make sure you pick Lua source File (*lua) as the file type.

--[[
    -- A list of all fonts

}) do
    font:SetFont('Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf', 12)
end

GameFontNormalHuge:SetFont('Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf', 20, 'OUTLINE')
GameFontNormalHuge:SetShadowOffset(0, 0)

This should be most of the ingame fonts and as you can see you can adjust what fonts you want to change and how big you want them, also if you want you can change the font type by adding a new folder inside your Fonts addon folder named fonttype.

Then all you would have to do is instead of:

font:SetFont('Fonts\\ARIALN.ttf', 12)

You could do:

font:SetFont('Interface\\Fonts\\fonttype\\<your font name>', 12)

The 12 in the code is the accualty size of the font. for me with older eyes 13 - 15 are good sizes but then again just remember some of WoWs font areas are not big enough for huge fonts.

Once everything is saved transfer your Fonts addon folder to your Interface\Addons folder.

Now there is no in-game config for this to change your font size you will have to open up core.lua and manualy change the number.

Hope this helps you out.
