Archimedes  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 0.1.1
by: sunspots [More]
Arc-shaped indicator bars.


Soon to be highly customisable arcs, some of the planned types of arcs are:
Castbars, Buff/Debuff, HoT/DoT, Proc

If you want new specific options or features, check to see if it's on the list, if it's not - add it and I will review it!

Usage:
/arch
-- To open the settings window

Some settings may not be set in effect directly (such as target settings), to make sure that a changed setting is loaded into your arcs, you can do a /reloadui which will save and reload all settings.

Look at the folder ArchimedesDefaultSkin to see how you can create your own skin!


If you are having issues after an update, you may need to reset your settings.
To do so, log out of the game and then go into the <game folder>/interface/saved/<account>/<shard>/<character name>/SavedVariables and delete Archimedes.lua


The Archimedes goal:
Combat efficiency
Visual excellence
High customisability


Thanks to: Zorba, Marru, Snstr, NerfedWar, seebs, everybody else on #riftuidev and everyone who have contributed with constructive feedback!
----Version 0.1.1----
* Fixing the breaking bugs.
* I really don't remember how this all works, I'm gonna go through the code base and see what I can do more, I might not have the time to understand it all in order to make some actual changes

----Version 0.1.0----
* Added Combat Alpha
* Finalised skin packs, it should now be safe to create your own!
* Cleaned up the settings window quite a bit
* Minor fixes

----Version 0.0.6b----
*Fixed a bug with removing and then adding bars
*Cleaned up some Settings UI issues and bugs
*Added basic skins functionality that will eventually let anyone
create/add/remove skins
WARNING: This will break your addon if you have custom texture packs form before
*Added a CleanCurves clone (I'm not satisfied with the looks but it is simple)

Note: Some solutions for the settings window are quirky, weird and
not very well optimised, please bear with me as I will try to clean it up later.


----Version 0.0.6----
*Minor improvements

----Version 0.0.5d----
*Fix for error on long load times
*Fix for some units not showing on addon load (mainly pets, also - this is a butt ugly solution but it should work most of the time)

*Adding a debug mode to try catching a bug that I'm unable to recreate myself

----Version 0.0.5c----
*Possibly fixing a bug

----Version 0.0.5b----
Fixed a mistake in my code that made the addon error out when checking the settings.

----Version 0.0.5----
*Added Alpha (transparency) option
*Changed channelled spells to go the other direction
*You can now enter your own values instead of only using the sliders
*Started refactoring some of the code, it's quite messy.
*Also, the settings window is draggable

----Version 0.0.4----
*Added basic global settings
*Added first castbar functionality
*Updated settings functionality
*Some things changed around
*New textures (you can get the old ones by prefixing with "old_")



----Version 0.0.3----
*Addon moves into Beta phase
*Fully functioning settings window (there are some issues with changing targets in the settings, a /reloadui should solve that though)

*I put some new needed functions in a library - anyone is free to use it for their own addons but it isn't made to be universal or documented more than some internal comments.

*Pimped the looks of the settings window

*Some general fixes (and probably new things that will kill the whole thing)


----Version 0.0.2----
*Added settings window
*It will only allow the changing of already set-up arcs since I haven't worked out a good way to handle the settings when adding/removing bars
*Settings window temporarily not draggable (the code is in but it needs to be tweaked to work on live shards)
*Added backwards compatibility check - this should remove errors for people who haven't cleaned their SavedVariables



----Version 0.0.1c----
*Changed the data storage model a bit (in order to ease future renaming of bars, the bar tables will be saved without name) -- This may require resetting the SavedVariables!
*Fixed issues with simultaneously updated values
*Some updated things that aren't used publicly yet (since they're not finished, and in some cases not yet tested (lol))



----Version 0.0.1b----
* Added mage charge functionality (including new texture)
* Changed blue texture to a more deep blue in order to differentiate from the new teal texture (used for mage charge)

* Some code fixes

----Version 0.0.1----
First release

I haven't been playing rift for a little while, if anyone with enough knowledge wants to untangle my code and make some fixes; feel free to do so, otherwise I will try to update when I have some time over.

Just a heads up.
On PTS for 1.7 this addon is broken to a state that you cant use it. I would post screen shots but I am at work atm. If you don't get on to witness it I will post some tomorrow afternoon

Bugs Found

Hello:

I love the Add-On - Great Work - Just a couple of things:

Since the latest RIFT Hotfix, the global options are blank and chat gives me various LUA errors. This was not the case until the latest hotfix.

Also, and this has been happening since the beginning and may be something you are already aware of - I created a bar for Pet Health. When playing my Necromancer, whenever I first log in, the pet de-spawns and is re-summoned, or I use a Poticulum or other travel method that brings up a loading screen, the bar goes away. Opening the interface and re-selecting "Stat" as the bar type makes it come back. This does not happen with any of the other bars - including the focus bar I added - just the Pet bars.

Last, a couple of "Wish List" items (not needed but just suggesting):

I think adding numeric values - percentages or otherwise - would be a nice addition. Also, having a "mouse-over" option on top of a combat option like other UI elements have would be nice.

Thanks - and thank you again for the add-on. I really like it.

All this needs to be perfect is the ability to display numerical values/percentages for the bars.

Yeah, I just realised, fix is in the next version (I think I'll get a global combat alpha setting in there as well, if I have the time to finish it)
Coming later today!

Yeah, I named the yellow textures wrong (I've swapped left/right)

Haha, I'll look into it when I have the time! I'm quite new with programming so I'm mostly just winging it and then patching up the holes afterwards.

First, thanks for the quick responses, I'm very happy to hear you are so actively working on this.

Also, looks like something blew up with your latest update. Player health and enemy health are the only 2 showing up at all. And a lot of error messages are being generated to the chat box.

Clean Curves --- AMAZING !!

Great work getting it in, it was just what i needed.

I think there's a bug with Target Energy - it flips the curvature.

There may also be a bug with Player.Health options. After i set the options frame, i get this :

[C] in function SetPosition
Archimedes/settings.lua:460: function SetNew

In terms of changes, maybe add a global setting for offset Y, and scale. As well as a setting for width of the curves, if that's still possible. I know i wanted to slim down the charge and possible the powerbars.

Regards

To the below post, I to am very interested in Clean Curves, the texture is perfect, giving a uniform structure appearance that is easy see.

Casting Bars, color toggle between interruptable and not with name of spell and 0.0 Casting time.

HP, MP % would be nice for Boss encounters were certain events happen at certain HP %
A Clean Curves clone is included in the next version!
Labels are next on my list.
Conditional settings are on my to-do-list but I will need some time with that.

That said, I have a few suggestions if you don't mind.

1. I think other people mentioned this before but it would be nice if we could have different graphics on the side. The way the bars taper the first and last 15% or so of anything is hardly noticeable.

2. It would be great if you could add combo points / attack points or other class mechanics to this.

3. What about a bar for planar charges?

4. I think this one would be the most helpful for me personally. Is there a chance of adding more bar groupings? My thought here is to have the option for top and bottom bars. This way I could put my pet at the bottom, along with the class mechanic counters I suggested in 2.

5. The option to add percentages to each bar individually would be great. I don't need it for some (charge, cast bar, etc) but would love it for others (mana, target health, etc)

6. Can it display the name of the target, above the bar for example? Just an option to see the name?

Sorry if that sounds like a lot from my first post, but this addon is the first one I've been really excited about. Hopefully this come across as a compliment as is intended and not complaints of a user.
1. See the above answer
2 & 3 I am intending to look into this!
4. Vertical bars will probably be added if it isn't too much work, otherwise I will put it on my "nice-to-have" list rather than the "need-to-have"
5. This will be added and you should be able to choose format as well (percentage, current, current/max and any combination)
6. This is also in the works!

The button has been fixed, as well as the text field (It's a small hack that lets me release focus from any text field but it shouldn't be visible or available to the user)

These are two of the things I just fiddled around with before releasing the new version.
The fixed stuff will be up tonight.
