Player frame

Description

Hi, this is a brilliant addon. Is it possible to make it work with Player frames, for when we're solo? I am using SUF and would love to have it consistent with my party frames and raid frames now.

Can you explain the behavior with solo frames? Is it a different frame completely? I'm definitely for adding the compatibility as long as it's similar to raid frames.

commented

I believe it is, looking at https://github.com/Shadowed/ShadowedUnitFrames

the frames seem to be treated the same and just have their own configurations, and the player solo frame is also customisable within SUF with all the same options and such. I've actually never worked on a WoW addon before, sorry if that's not too helpful.

Okay, I misunderstood/misread at first. Now I think I understand what you want. You want auras to show on the player frame at all times because in SUF it's similar to how the party frames are, right?

commented

That's it yep, if i can have BO on the player frame just like the party/raid frames, then SUF+BO is way better than vuhdo I think.

commented

I see. Okay, that's definitely possible. Very addon specific since some addons treat their playerframe very differently in how it looks. I'll see what I can scrap up :)

commented

Thanks! I used lua for some modding in shadow of chernobyl but never made any WoW addons yet. I'll have to read up on addon development and see if I can help

commented

Sorry about the wait, I've been a little busy. I added this for SUF in the most recent update, let me know how it's working for ya.

commented

No problem at all! I just tested it having downloaded it from the github page and i can say it works perfectly. SUF + BO is what i'll use for my player/raid/party frames from now on. It combines the positioning and customisation of SUF for frames with BO's much better buff display.

I'll use SUF for debuffs having them just below the frames. But this is going to help amazingly with my healing, and I don't need to spend a year configuring those bulky addons like Vuhdo. This is a game changer for me! Thanks a lot.

Cool, glad it's workin good for you :)

This commit made some unwanted changes for people who don't want BuffOverlay to display on player frame with SUF, we cannot disable this, even though Frame Types player is deselected.

Hmm, I just tested and found that un-checking player frame type did indeed remove the overlays from the player frame in SUF. Are you using multiple bars by chance? You'll have to disable player in all the bars.
