- About UrbinTargetTarget
Alternate download link
As Curse has been very unstable for downloads lately, I have set up an alternate download page carrying the latest version of my addons. You can find it under http://www.ursbeeli.ch/m_addons.shtml
History
I have been using the <file type="link">1723</file> addon for a long time. With
the introduction of Patch 2.0 and the secure frames its targetting
possibilities were lost. With each subsequent patch another feature
of it caused an exception. I fixed one after the other for my own use,
always intending to change it to make use of secure frames. The built
in target of target frame just was not an option as it is too small
for my liking.
I tried a few things but found that I could not get secure frames to
work with Dag's Target of Target during my first tries. I then tried
to start from scratch with just an empty button in order to be able
to use it to target my target's target, even during combat. I then
started adding features and found I had more or less duplicated what
Dag had done.
However, I did not implement everything Dag had. One of these things
is the target or target of target frame as I really, never used this.
Another thing is the integration with MobHealth and CTMod to find out
the absolute health numbers of mobs. This is handy to have for my
target but I am not so interested in those details for my target's
target, especially as I still have this of people in my group (say
for healing).
All credit for the idea and much of the code goes to Dag, even though
I rewrote the addon (pinching quite a bit from Blizzard's TargetFrame implementation.

Features
This addon displays target of target frame that has the same size and
look and feel as the default target frame. It has optional support for
displaying buffs and debuffs, class and creature type. It allows targetting
the target of target by clicking on it as well as a suitable context menu
by right clicking on it.

Urbin saidI assume you talk about the target-of-target unit frame, because that's the only unit frame my addon modifies and you can't disable it at the moment. I'll add this to the todo list.

Urbin saidThe taint issue kept bugging me so I went ahead and disabled every addon I had except UTT and the taint errors kept poping up.
I'm sorry to hear you still have taint issues with UTT. Thanks for the detailed feedback, I'll try to look into it when I have some time (which most likely won't be soon, I'm sorry to say). I can't promise that I'll find something, as I still don't have any taint issues...

A small snippet from the taint log:

Elessil saidSince you got no taint issues I went ahead and investigated it further.
Turns out that yeah, utt isn't the source of it. Great. =)
Now I just have to get a replacement for Elkano's Frame Resizer. -.-'

Urbin saidBut there's one issue marring its use. :/ It's a huge source of user interface taint.
Are you sure that it really is my addon? I am asking because I currently have no taint issues whatsoever despite using my own addon. Are you perfectly sure it's not some other addon in combination with UrbinTargetTarget?
Urbin, if you do "/console taintLog 1" and take a look at the log produced you'll see what I mean. Would be nice if you could do something about this. The US Interface forum has a thread where slouken is replying to help solving issues such as these.
Thanks for your hint, but as far as I understood, this only creates a log, when an "interface blocked" error occurs and I have yet to see one of those...

Urbin saidWould you add the target's target's target feature to this? I know you said over on Dag's you don't find much use for it, but for me as a healer it can really help.
I am sorry to say, but I currently have no time whatsoever to work on any of my addons (working 15 hour days) so this will have to wait, especially as it is not a feature I need ;-)
