LifeBinder (Beta)
Version: 1.0.1.4
by: acheliuspjr, Protonova
@mouseoverui macros don't work, it's an api limitation, change them to @mouseover

If you want to target with this addon you have to select the function from the config->mouse and drag the target command to the desired combination

What is it:
LifeBinder is an addon aimed to replace the default Rift party and raid frames with something that is more configurable. While it is designed for healers, other classes and roles can find LifeBinder useful. The addon makes it easier to monitor incoming damage, damage over time, healing, healing over time, buffs and debuffs. So that you can accurately and efficiently heal no matter how much is going on in raid. While making it easier to react to raid conditions LifeBinder also allows you to easily respond with click-to-cast spellcasting.

Brief history:
While using Rifthbot we weren't satisfied with the result, so we decided to drop almost every file we used for it and to create another addon, always with performance in mind but also with personalization and a better structured code, that started the development of Lifebinder

We had an hard to use interface for buffs and we added a totally new slots and buff configuration that can move them at will and configure everything by dragging the elements with the mouse

We got sick of only 1 debuff slot so we changed how buffs and debuffs are managed and created 4 buff slots and 4 debuff slots, adding the ability to add and remove slots at will(configuration support will be in future versions but the code is there)

We needed duration on buffs and we added it, now duration is shown if the buff/debuff remaining time is under 9 seconds

We needed a better debuff filtering so we added a priority/blocking system: if the buff is on priority list then it will be always shown, if the buff is on the blocked list it will always be ignored, if the buff is not non one of those lists and the user selected the option "show only if curable" then it will be shown only if it's curable by your class. if is not on the lists and showcurableonly is not selected the debuff will always be shown

We needed a better and more user friendly mouse binds configuration window, so we added the new one (that I personally love soo much), for now it doesn't have custom macro support but I promise it will be done

We needed a better style and personalization, so we started to create styles (and more will be done about that)

We hated the lack of out of range detection, so we create the module that will be available when 1.8 hits that does that, and when we will be able to test more, we can add more function regarding range etc

the result is that now we need to sleep ^^

How to configure:
You click on the green circle or you write "/lb config"
It's easy to learn how but if you need there is a video:
It will have some annotations, but for now it's unedited
http://bit.ly/HNKvDT
Info on unit positioning:
Selecting 1 you will have the "standard" unit positioning that was the original "standard" style while choosing the number 4 you will have the "oldstyle"
On the option window the arrows indicate the grow direction
For example the number 2 will be:
First unit on the bottom left ,the first group will be the first column than the second group will be the second column, group members will be placed from bottom to top
(Unit positioning configuration is not final, How you can set it can be changed in the future)

Known issues:
-Reloading the interface or loading it during combat won't work, those are the limitations of the API
-If someone disconnects and reconnects in a 5 man group while in combat it will have some problems, (why trion you rearrange groups to have the disconnected player last? WHY???? )


In development:
HP visualization options (percent,hp deficit,current/max)
Mouse binds and buffs settings copy
Role icon change option
Custom macro support on mouse binds tab


Thanks to:
To doxxx for his libsimplewidgets http://www.riftui.com/downloads/info...gets.html#info
To ragebeast for writing rifthealer
To Snarty for it's safe's raid manager http://www.riftui.com/downloads/info...ager.html#info
To ZorbaTHut / Ben Wilhelm for the LibUnitChange and for the continuous effort on developing the api
1.0.1.4 (26-04-12)
-Fixed 1.8 Issues where units information and frame events were not triggered correctly.
-Updates Role Icons.

1.0.1.3 (07-04-12)
Added features:
-added ready check support
-added buff priority (when a buff has priority it will be always shown and never overwritten)
-added descriptions into abilities list
-added descriptions into recorded debuffs list
-added tooltips on mousebinds icons lists (finally you can see what spell/command it is when is placed)
-added group member and groups growth option, see addon description for details
-added name character count option (requires reloadui to take effect due optimization)
-added mana bar height option
-added Priority/blocked list import from other roles (it will -add- the debuffs from the role you choose )
-added lock unlock options (locking also makes the green circle disappear so to edit configuration you must write "/lb config" when is locked)

Fixes:
-Fixed frame dimensions in the other tabs not changing after changing it in the styles options tab
-Fixed green circle position (now it's in the correct position)
-After applying styles options the unit frames were not responding to clicks (fixed)
1.0.1.2 (04-04-12)

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change the layout, or even move the frames where I want. Are those features not in it yet?

Did you watch the instructional video yet? There are two ways to access the configuration menu, /lb config or clicking the green button near the addon. Moving the addon is simple, just click and drag to the right of the green button. To change size of frames unforunately, scroll down and type in those scripts.

GREAT JOB

Very Nice piece of work there. Puts the thought of even continuing mine to shame. I will probably just direct all the traffic from mine to yours and work on something more my level while learning LUA. Appreciate the help though. Good luck!

Once we get to a v1.0.2.X version we will start adding detailed comments and facilitating other addon authors so that they can make Skins and quite possibly more modules for LifeBinder.

This looks great so far One question though: I'm mostly using mouseover macros since I don't like clicking so much. Are there any issues with mouseover macros? I encountered problems with another addon, using mouseover macros.

Oh, and while I'm at it... I watched the video and it seems that the standard skin (horizontal group layout) starts with group1 at the bottom and places the other groups on top? I'd love an option to have it the other way around

I have not tested it personally pumpkin but no, there should not be any issues with mouseover macros with this version as it does recognize mouseover (ie you get a tooltip for your current mouseover target) whereas mine did not. acheliuspjr & Protonova did an AWESOME job with this addon.

Added basic options, waiting approval


Standard and oldstyle have the same gui

As for the horizontal style with groups growing down we can see if we can add it

name position and roleicon positions can only be changed by the buttons for now, they have issues with textchanged event

always do a reloadui after changing style before changing options

Yes I did, but I still couldn't figure out how to move it, change it's layout, or re-size it. I have no idea why I'm missing it. I'm kinda slow sometimes.

Re: Re: GREAT JOB

Additional skins I could see. But I'm not sure what modules or what else you could add to this. You guys did great. Now just to work out being able to move it, size it, and just some of the minor things. That little unit frame could get very cluttered very quickly making it hard to even see how much health that person has. My personal vision was putting the 3 buffwatch icons (1 in each corner) and the debuffs in the middle.

I'm sure there will be an option to lock the frames and make the green dot disappear?

I can left-click on the green dot, and mine also is about 200 pixels up from the 1st group box, it actually moves from time to time, depending on the size of the UI scale in Display under options. I notice if I tick the display sizing off, it goes back to default and it's near the 1st group box again.

I still am having too much trouble moving the frames, or even resizing... I just can't it to work. I've watched the video, and I did what I was to do, and yet I still can't do it. I don't know what is going on.

There is a bug on standard style, the green circle is way over where it's supposed to be, we decided to push out fast the style options tab to help resizing, now we are fixing those bugs that came out after release, there was so much stuff to test before releasing and something slipped out. I'm sorry

Awesome job indeed. And yes, it works fine with mouseover macros. Just as I like it

For a beta this is really well done so far. Looking forward to improvements though.
