Notepad++ and Gedit, because all I really want at the end of the day is highlighting.

Edit: You cant os.clock in WoW. Thats pretty lame or im missing something.

WoW doesn't give addons access to os because they don't want people writing stuff to a file.

local securehandler = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, nil, "SecureHandlerBaseTemplate")
securehandler:WrapScript(<frame>, "OnShow", [[self:Hide()]])

good?

Best christmessy (think it's a word) random addon created?

reinstalling doesn't take very long if you keep hold of the patches.

Instead of using an OnUpdate, you could try hooking CreateFrame(), i.e.

do
	local uframe
	hooksecurefunc("CreateFrame", function(_, _, parent)
		if parent == Minimap then
			if not uframe then
				uframe = CreateFrame("Frame")
				uframe:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
					--hide frame children of Minimap
					self:Hide()
				end)
			end
			uframe:Show()
		end
	end)
end

While on the subject; in Adapt's code it says that circular masks cannot be applied to 3D models. I think this comment is quite old, but is it still true?

I'm pretty sure that it's still impossible to apply a mask to 3D models.

So apparently SetVertexColor only adjusts the original color values of the texture rather than actually set them.
I wanted to make the playerportrait texture black&white, is this even possible?

You might be able to do it using :SetBlendMode() although I'm not certain.

edit: nvm just use :SetDesaturated(1)

lua is case sensitive If ~= if .

if correctitem == currentitem then

Also if you un-commented out your code, D("Test over.") will never run, as you will return out of the function before D("Test over.") would ever be called.

maybe take a look at astrolabe and more specifically http://wiki.esamynn.org/Astrolabe/API_GetDirectionToIcon

I suspect slak is being a little disingenuous.

Not at all, the original question was

So, what's the best way to set up some really basic raid frames?

and from oUFs description

oUF is a unit frame framework. It attempts to simplify the process of writing unit frames for WoW by doing all the trivial and painfully boring parts for you. So you can focus more on experimenting with the look of the frames.

I'm pretty sure oUF will help simplify or assist in creating raid frames.

Some people swear by ouf to help simplify the unit frame addon creation process.

Dear Slakah,

what is your point in helping me solving my programming problems?

Quickly looked over your code and you have some more pressing issues at hand, i.e.

--- loops until a given time in seconds has passed
-- @param seconds - Integer Amount of seconds to wait
function GuildAdmin:WaitForSec(seconds)
    local timer = GetTime()+seconds
    while GetTime() <= timer
    do
        local i = 1
    end
end

Use OnUpdate/Animation/Ace-Timer stuff instead, your method will lock WoW for x seconds (unless your using coroutines iirc).

finally Spam = Bad, and imo this "feature" should be removed in favour of the better built in opt in "Guild recruitment channel".

With the default frames you could do:

local EnumerateFrames = EnumerateFrames

local lastframe -- the last frame we met.
local otype
local function DarkenUnitTex(f)
    local f = EnumerateFrames(f)
    while f do
        otype = f:GetObjectType()
        if otype ~= "Button" then
            if otype == "Texture" and f:GetTexture() == [[Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-TargetingFrame]] then
                f:SetVertexColor(0.6, 0.6, 0.6)
            end
            lastframe = f
        end
        f = EnumerateFrames(f)
     end
end

local function DarkenNewUnitTex()
    DarkenUnitTex(lastframe)
end

hooksecurefunc("CreateFrame", DarkenNewUnitTex)
DarkenNewUnitTex()

Which will darken all Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-TargetingFrame textures.
