Warband View w/ Targets

Note: This addon REQUIRES you to have LibSlash installed! You can download LibSlash from the WAR section of Curse: http://war.curse.com/downloads/details/13510/

A replacement for the basic unit-frames supplied by Mythic. Code borrowed from the default unit frames, and Clean Unit Frames, thanks Aiiane. This is definitely still an Alpha/Beta, no guarantee that this won't completely break you game, still very much in development. Also, will be in the process of completely re-writing each unit frame from scratch one at a time, starting with the player unit frame. Released because I've had people asking for it.

That being said, there are a couple of features in this addon that should be mentioned.

  1. There is live target range/LOS fading for group/scenario/warband. But it can cause some performance issues, but the refresh rate is completely customizable, along with the spell used in the range checking. One downfall is the inability to keep NPC or static targets, targeted, this has to do with the restrictions Mythic has on their targeting and range functions, can't be fixed to my knowledge. It won't affect you interacting with them, aka using them, but you won't be able to target them to see their health.
  2. Intelligent buff filtering, kinda. This one is still in development, and working on customization. At the moment it is set up so there are 3 different buff bars per unit-frame. A right aligned bar, underneath, a left aligned bar, underneath, and a right aligned bar that grows out of the end of the health bar. By default, changeable in the options, The right aligned bar only shows buffs/spells cast by the user, aka your hots and your buffs, so that you can easily identify what you have on your target and group mates. The left aligned bar has other ally buffs in it, sorted by duration, starting at infinite and going down, for prioritizing things like guard, and other long term buffs. Finally the right aligned bar that grows from the end of the health bar is a debuff bar, that, by default, only shows debuffs that can be dispelled by you class.
  3. Health bar color fading, friendly health bars fade from green to red as the decrease in value 100% = green, 0% = red. Enemy health bars fade from red to blue, 100% = red, 0% = blue.
  4. Group prioritization in warband. Instead of your group being 1 of 4, it will always be 1 as seen by you, to see what actual number you are open warband options.
  5. No portraits, toggleable career icons, and role name coloring. 
  6. Improved buff refresh scheduling, and throttling ability.

In game use /suf or /streamlined to access the settings window

Also helps if you have save settings per character turned on. To do this open the file at <WAR DIR>\User\UserSettings.xml (while Warhammer is not running) and look for save_settings_per_character="false" near the bottom of the file inside a tag named Interface. Change the value inside the quotes from false to true. Then save the xml file and start up WAR; your settings will now be saved per-character instead of globally.
