    Is there any way to have pitbull4 display the # of energy/rage/RP you have but when you're playing a mana based class to show the % of mana you have?

    Yes, there is.

    Next you're going to ask how.

    (I guess I could be nice, and ask "Are you using LuaTexts?")

    Glancing idly at the documentation, I think you would put in something like:
    if UnitPowerType(unit) == 0 then
        return Percent(Power(unit), MaxPower(unit))
    else
        return Power(unit)
    end
    

    If it doesn't work, I'll worry about fixing it when I get up from my nap. Or maybe you could convince someone else to fix it. Or whatever.

    So I guess it's been a while since I've actually posted screenshots of my UI. Here are a few I took today, linked because they are huuuuge (I couldn't stand the crappy JPEG compression so I used PNG).

    Shot the First
    Shot the Second

    One relevant thing that's not evident in these shots is that the bars with the party members's names are actually casting bars, but none of them were casting anything at the time.

    The addons responsible for this particular look, which is probably not at all appealing to anyone but me, are simply the nine Saeris* addons, listed on my page. It's basically the default UI, if the default UI didn't suck.

    Is it possible for addons to interact with the ingame calendar at all? Specifically reading a list of users and their signup status for an event.

    There are definitely API hooks to the calendar, but I couldn't tell you what they are. I'm sure most of them have "Calendar" in the calls though.

    Ugh, Dominos seems to have a bug now where the rep bar looks hideous (instead of one long stretched line of color, it's several short overlapping lines). Trying to change it to another style works while you are logged in, but it changes back if you log off.

    of course, the other changes I make do stick, just not that one.

    Same thing with quartz and Aloft. Didn't bother me enough to mess with it during raid time but I hope it gets fixed.

    Different color shades to me mean something has occured, like aoe tics for quartz or ... something important for aloft.

    I wonder if Saeris might be able to tell us what the hell Blizzard changed that is pissing a multitude of things off?

    From the couple of mods I have that are broken, I hazarded a guess that they changed the commands that control how dynamic shapes are created?

    My SimpleRune for DK runes no longer fills up from bottom to top, now they're some kind of weird trapezoid shape that kind of grows a bit in their circles. IceHUD had to be emergency updated and at least works, but you have to use the boring straight health/mana displays instead of the curved bars I had before.

    My friend who has IceHUD but hasn't updated says that the casting bar does some weird things, it starts curled up and as it 'fills' it straightens up. Bizarre sounding anyway.

    Yeah, they changed the way textures tile themselves:

    However, a proper tiling system should be appearing soon on the PTR by implementing two new characteristics on texture objects: horizTile and vertTile. When one of these is enabled for a texture, that texture will not be stretched in that direction if the texture object size and texture file size are different; instead, the render will maintain a 1:1 ratio between texels and pixels, and tile the raster in that direction to fill the available space.

    This will allow you to tile textures automatically, rather than by specifying the number of times you want the texture repeated (which you should still be able to do if it better suits your needs).

    Right now the preferred way to activate this is to create the texture in XML and use the <Texture horizTile="true"' vertTile="true"> tag attributes. Lua methods should exist for this(texture:GetHorizTile(), texture:SetHorizTile(tile), texture:GetVertTile() and texture:SetVertTile(tile) ), but presently the implementation may produce peculiar results when these settings are changed after texture creation.

    It has definitely had some strange effects in the addons that used the deprecated method. Interesting to know though. I may have to replace SimpleRune entirely, since I don't think it's being worked on. I know the IceHUD guy is aware of the problem, which is why he got a temporary fix in place already, he said he's working on restoring the old functionality as he gets time. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later. I had noticed that the combo point display on IceHUD is utterly fucked as well.

    I guess wowhead it is. I'm pretty much just interested in kalu'ak quests at this point, so it shouldn't take too long to check manually. I'm hoping to find out if I missed a chain so I can cut down on the week and a half of dailies that I still have left to get the fishing pole.

    Wowwiki is also usually helpful in getting you up to speed on specific subfactions. I'm not sure if they have one for the walrus men, but I know that just about every other faction I've checked had a "get to exalted" guide.

    I think the only Kalu'ak daily you need to do prereq quests for is the Howling Fjord one, since you need to kill Big Roy for the pirates to precipitate it.

    IceHUD is fucked all to hell. Quartz is screwy too. Ugh. I too wonder what the fuck they did in a relatively minor patch to screw things up so much.

    To clarify, when he says "the PTR", he was talking about the 3.3.3 PTR. That change went live on Tuesday. I suspect that the reason the textures on status bars are acting oddly is because status bars have always rendered their textures dynamically, but when presented with this new system where the texture itself is also doing that work, there's some kind of conflict. I can't confirm this though.

    Can SBF or any other buff mod support or mimic the 'Consolidate Buffs' option in default WoW, collapsing shit like Fort, Int, etc. until it's got a minute left or so? I know SBF can do this with filters and a mouseover visibility choice, but then I don't know where to put my mouse to see the current buffs so it's not quite right.

    This works as advertised. It just puts a message in your chat window when someone taunts stating which mob they taunted.


    The only problem I had with it was when i flew to the Shadow Vault to get a head enchant. The NPCs fighting there use Death Grip, so the addon spammed me with messages.

    The Curse client is your best option at this point. What don't you like about it? Overall it's a fairly decent package, and even when you have to update a dozen addons on patch days it doesn't take THAT long to update everything...
