About Click Box Healer

Change of pace here. See my comments on the curse addon page.

OVERVIEW:

Click Box Healer is primarily viewed as a healing addon, but can be useful to all roles. CBH is used to quicken healing and more efficiently identify the current status of your party by displaying everything from health and aggro status to buffs and debuffs on each member. This addon allows macros to be bound to click actions that are performed on a set of raid frames that will cast the selected abilities/macro. These frames are usable when solo, in a party, with pets (groups 5 or less), or in a raid. It accepts up to the basic 5 mouse buttons as input, as limited by the RiftAPI, and can be bound in conjunction with keyboard buttons (shift, ctrl, alt) for even more possibilities.

The addon can be moved and resized to fit any screen comfortably. This addon has the ability to track up to 3 customizable buffs (one for each available corner), as well as debuffs on each frame for poisons (green), diseases (orange), curses (purple), and whitelisted debuffs (red). Debuffs are displayed as a colored box around the health percentage accordingly colored to the debuff.

#############

CONFIGURATION:


  • There is a minimap button included that will do the following: LeftClick - Opens options window and unlocks raid frame, MiddleClick to toggle hiding/showing the raid frames, RightClick and drag to move minimap icon

The configuration of the addon is fairly simple. It has an in-game option menu that allows you to set the macro binds to each mouse button with an optional keyboard key for more combination possibilities. In these fields you can pretty well write anything that you can put in a macro. The bindings are saved by the current spec/role you are in. ie. 1-6 and will change automatically if/when you change roles.

In the 2nd options tab you will find the ability to change the health bar settings. Multiple pre-defined textures as well as many color options settings for various pieces of the unit frames including the backdrop, healthframe, text colors, etc.

The last tab is where you can setup all your buff and debuff options. You can setup de/buffs to track. Tracking a buff will cause it to show up in a resizeable square on the affected raid frame. You can whitelist debuffs that don’t normally show up for added flexibility as well as blacklist ones you would like to hide.

Command line options available: (type /cbh in game to see list)
/cbh show - Show window
/cbh hide - Hide window
/cbh reset - Reset default addon settings

/cbh config - Display config window
/cbh toggle - Toggles displaying main window
/cbh lock - Allows you to move the frame. Type again to lock.
/cbh tt - Toggles tooltips on frame mouseover

#############

KNOWN ISSUES:


  • No major issues are outstanding they we are aware of this time.

Due to limitation of the API in RIFT at this time, while you are in combat, no changes can be made to the addon. You cannot get in the options window, unlock the frame, toggle the tooltips, or close the frame.

#############

THANKS AND APPRECIATIONS:

An extra thanks to the recent addition of Niemassacre to the dev team.
A huge thanks to dOxxx's LibSimpleWidgets library. Made several pieces of this addon much more functional and usable.
Thanks also go to ZorbaTHut for LibUnitChange.
And a big thanks to Protonova for the tips they provided that helped initially fix the performance bugs.

    Hello.
    Little question. I just installed the addon, but I'm missing the mini map icon. Can't find it anywhere.
    I tried to uncheck it in the config and than check it again. But that doesn't changes anything.
    So am I missing anything?

     

  • #88

    Huh, that's weird...I haven't heard of it missing for anyone before. The default X,Y coordinate is 600, 200, so (depending on your resolution), it should be somewhere in the middle of the screen, possibly a bit up and left if you have a higher res monitor.

    If you still can't see it, try typing the following into the Rift chat box:

    /script cbhValues.MMBVis = true

    /reloadui

    That will force the MMB button to be shown as visible. If it's still not showing, also put in the following:

    /script cbhValues.MMBx = 0

    /script cbhValues.MMBy = 0

    /reloadui

    That will reset the coordinates to 0,0 (top left corner of the screen). If it's still not visible...hire a priest and exorcise your computer ;-) just kidding - please let me know if it's still not showing up.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
    It solved itself. Somehow it didn't show on my first character. I searched the whole screen inch by inch :)
    But when I logged in, later in time, it was indeed on my screen at another character.
    And I logged in again on the character who didn't got it and it was there now too.

    But thanks again for you advice.

    Any chance of an update coming out to bring in the blue bubble shield stuff they've added?

    *blink* Um...could you clarify what that stuff is? :)

  • #86

    Found it - I'll work on adding this in next (about to put up the change to add scroll up and down for casting). Thanks for the tip!

  • #85

    If you take a look at the in-game raid frames, there is now a blue 'bubble' surrounding people's units indicating that they have a damage reduction shield on them :)  It moves down as the shield is used up.  You can also see this same blue 'bubble' around the nameplates in combat if they're enabled.

    I still love this addon for tracking HOTs :)

    Guys, even in compability mode the add on wont work.. I really love this add on, thanks for the dev of it, and I would like to use it again..

    I cant click frames nor move the whole window It shows up, but it looks like it isnt there when I click, as if the game thinks it is invisible...

     

  • #80

    You're using the latest version (1.3), correct? Have you tried doing a reset?

    It sounds like you can see the frames correclty, but they have no interaction (can't click on them) - so no casting spells, no targeting, etc? Do the frames update correctly when players join/leave or lose/gain hp, etc.?

  • #82
    Quote from jimmyh »

    Using 1.3

    I've had this a few times in zone events, seems to be after people join, maybe whilst being in combat?. I'm unable to cast heals on them.

    It sorts it's self after doing a reloadui.

    This issue specifically is due to api limitations during combat. If you are in combat and someone joins the group it will draw their frame but you will be unable to interact with it until you leave combat.

    Short explanation: Basically think of each frame as 2 layers. The graphical layer which is what you see and the interaction layer which sits behind the graphic layer. When you are in combat and someone joins, it is able to draw the graphic but limitations in the api prevent it from creating the interaction layer. The very second that you leave combat it will finish drawing any interaction frames that it was unable to previously.

    This is the same issue similar addons have in other games as well. It isn't just a Rift api issue unfortunately.

    Fix is ready to go, and will be up shortly. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for hanging with us!

  • #77

    Yea, Compatibility Mode will fix the problem - Trion deprecated an API we were using, so we just need to update it to the new API. Going into Compatibility Mode re-enables that deprecated API, so it should function as usual as a stop-gap.

  • #76

    worth mentioning that if you click the 'compatibility mode' checkbox for addons, then it works without any problem. So that's the quick fix until a new version is released :)

  • #75

    We do appreciate everyones feedback and support. Thanks again to all of you as you guys have made this addon what it is. We do continue to develop on this and are aware that 1.10 has broken it. We will try to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

    I apologize personally for my absence as real life kind of hit me pretty hard. I am not subbed to Rift at the moment but will still be logging in as a "free" account to continue working on this. The downside to this is I am unable to do large scale testing with major changes to the addon. I will be relying on everyone's feedback. Thanks again. Hope you continue to enjoy CBH. We'll get it back up and functional as quickly as possible.

     

    PS. Toludin is working on this as he is able to in my stead. Please continue to post your comments, feedback, errors etc and we will continue to do our best to resolve them. Thank you for the continued support.
