About UIM:ComboPoints

UIM:ComboPoints just displays a rogue's combo points.

This addon was originally written by Xaroth and published on WOWUI. I'm just maintaining it. He seems to have disappeared, so I had the project transferred to me to update it for WotLK. I'm now publishing it on Curse.

Features:

  • Movability: move it wherever you want to show it.
  • Display: tell the mod how you want it to display it, it can display the 5 boxes horizontal, vertical and diagonal, in any of the 8 directions.
  • Colors: each dot is seperately colorable, get a nice look by making them all pink or purple, or keep it neat and black. Or maybe let them go from red to green.
  • Background: Show the background for the combopoints you don't have yet, or hide them to only show up when you have that amount of combo points.
  • Visibility: the mod won't nag you if you're not a class that uses combo points, yet you can force it to show, same goes for rogues/druid. If your layout doesn't want it, hide it.

Options are saved per character per server.

Slash commands
Use /cbp or /combopoints.
/cbp reset reset all settings to defaults.
/cbp report report all saved values.
/cbp lock lock the points in position.
/cbp unlock make the points moveable.
/cbp visible (0|no|false) hide the points.
/cbp visible (1|yes|true) allow showing the points.
/cbp appear show all points and make the moveable. The points will have the 'inactive' color when they are dragged.
/cbp color (1..5|inactive) let the user choose the color for a point or the 'inactive' color.
/cbp gap pixels choose the distance between the points. 0 gives you the default, -5 puts them right next to each other.
/cbp background toggles displaying the background. This means that an inactive point is displayed with the 'inactive' color until it is active.
/cbp height pixels Set the height of the dots.
/cbp width pixels Set the width of the dots.
/cbp mode 1..9 Change the orientation of the points relative to each other. The numbers mean the direction from the keypad '5' to the number, i.e. '1' means the points run from lower right to upper left, while '6' means they run from left to right. '5' is equivalent to '6'.

1.5

  • Changed: Update to WoW 4.x API.

1.4.1
  • Changed: Update TOC file to 3.1.

1.4
  • Changed: /cbp reset now also resets colors and offset.
  • Changed: switch messages from /cbp background, they were inverted.

1.3
  • Added: Implement commands for resizeing and a report command.
  • Changed: Allow all subcommands to be abbreviated to the minimum unique substring.
  • Changed: Rename commands:
    offset -> gap (different semantics)
    display -> mode

1.2
  • Fixed: all points appearing over another when a character uses UIM:ComboPoints for the first time.
  • Changed: Rename the 'drag' color to 'inactive'.
  • Changed: /cbp appear now uses the set colors, the dots switch to the 'inactive' color when they are dragged.
  • Added: /cbp reset now resets all settings to defaults.

1.1
  • Initial release on Curse.

    Dude ive been using this addon for years now, it does what its supposed to do. awesome :)
  • #41
    Thanks for the compliments, I feel completely innocent from what the addon does, I just fixed it a little to keep it working.

    If I knew how, I'd pass that on to Xaroth.
  • #37
    I know this addon works for CatDruids, in addition to all rogues, however...
    If possible, could this addon, be modified to display Enhancement Shaman's Maelstrom Weapon charges?
    It also stacks to 5 (only it's on the shaman, not the target), so graphically, nothing would have to be different..
  • #38
    It *could* probably be modified. But I don't have the time to do it. I'm willing to integrate any patches I receive, though.
  • #39
    My LUA skills are VERY small (at best)..
    I tried chaning line 732 to:
    if((englishClass ~= "ROGUE") and (englishClass ~= "DRUID") and (englishClass ~= "SHAMAN")) then

    but it didn't do shizzle :(
  • #35
    Thanks for the great addon, it's really cool. However, I have some requests:



    1 -- Update for patch 4.1. would be much appreciated!

    2 -- Also, I'd like the option to save profiles for easy copying of colors, size, gap and position. It hasn't been too much work - yet - to copy all the settings manually for two characters, but I have yet to make the changes to my another druid in a different realm. So while it yet hasn't been much work, it's still kinda annoying to type "/cbp" -commands all over again.

    3 -- Also some more options to affect the layout would be appreciated. I like to keep my UI so that everything fits together, and now they just don't. I know, I don't see the combo points so much that it should bother me, but this is more like an "if you have time for this" -request.



    I know you aren't the original author of the addon, so if you don't have the skills or interest in anything else than updating the addon, you can ignore my post.

    I thought I explained how the situation is with this addon. The addon description says "This addon was originally written by Xaroth and published on WOWUI. I'm just maintaining it. He seems to have disappeared, so I had the project transferred to me to update it for WotLK. I'm now publishing it on Curse.

    What is not working with 4.1? I haven't played my rogue since 4.1 came out, save for profession dailies which do not activate this plugin ;-)

    If you want added functionality, please send a patch.

    still getting this when try to use this addon:
    Date: 2010-10-14 15:43:21
    ID: 1
    Error occured in: Global
    Count: 1
    Message: [string "ComboPoints_GlobalUpdater:OnLoad"] line 1:
    attempt to index global 'this' (a nil value)
    Debug:
    [C]: ?
    [string "*:OnLoad"]:1:
    [string "*:OnLoad"]:1
    AddOns:
    Swatter, v3.1.15 ()
    Bartender4, v4.4.9
    BonusScanner, v5.3

    BlizRuntimeLib_enUS v4.0.1.40000
    (ck=85)

    any chance it will be repaired soon? this addon is really best combo points one much more better then crappy redux
  • #34
    Are you sure you have installed version 1.5? That version should have fixed the references to "this".

    The next version will add the version number to the TOC file so I will be able to get the installed version from the swatter output. I'm holding it back till I'm sure I fixed everything.
  • #31
    I'm working on BasicExperienceBar now, which requires an extensive fix. I'll have a more in depth look at this addon tomorrow. It looks like it also fell victim of the great global variable change. :-(
  • #32
    The fix wasn't hard. I found no problems remaining in my testing.
  • #30
    Any chance this will be updated for 4.0? One of my key addons and it doesn't react to any slash commands as of 4.0.1
  • #29
    How can I modify the code to show my stacks of Maelstrom for my enha shammy? I use this addon on my feral kitty and would like the same setup on my shammy alt.
  • #26
    is there anyways if i'm showing inactive combopoints, to not have these display when i'm out of combat?
