Ikarus v2.1.9

Description

Ikarus is a fully configurable replacement of (nearly) all available UnitFrames in Runes of Magic
You can easily create your own, custom interface in a few clicks
It shows you a lot of information you could never see without any addon

You can get the information you want, displayed the way you want it and most of all, exactly where you want it! Setting up a custom layout is fairly easy when using the Ikarus configuration menu available via the minimap button. All properties are bundled in handy sections and you can access them unit by unit.

Installation

Unzip the attached archive file and copy the folders "Ikarus" and "AA_PatchWork" to "Runes of Magic\Interface\AddOns". If those folders are missing or have another name, create or rename them so their names fit exactly.

After starting the game, a dialog right in the middle of your screen should appear and welcome you to the install wizard. Follow the steps and set up your first profile. When finished your normal unit frames should disappear and instead the Ikarus frames should be visible together with the Ikarus minimap button.

When starting the game with a character unknown to ikarus you will get another dialog asking you whether you want to use Ikarus on this char or not. If you decide to use Ikarus you can select an existing profile for this char or create a new one with a custom name.

Configuration

To enter the Configuration menu, please left-click on the minimap button. There you can set up every single option you need. To get additional information for a certain option, right-click on the name of the option on the right panel of the config window. A small tooltip will appear telling you (more or less) helpful infos. To close the tooltip just click it or move the cursor out of it.

Profile Handling

Unlike Ikarus 1.09 the new 2.0 version has some optimizations built in regarding the way profiles are stored in the SaveVariables.lua file. When asked to save the current profile Ikarus now runs a complete deep search through the profile table looking for entries that have changed in relation to the default settings. Only those values will then be stored in the Ikarus_VARS profile table. So you get a very compact config table that can easily be extracted and shared with other users. When loading a profile from the profile list Ikarus merges those values with it's default config to create a complete and up2date config table.

Minimap Button

The role of the Ikarus minimap button has changed in many ways:
It now features a popup displaying latest informations about your profile and the state of Ikarus as well as a right-click menu that provides access to some very important function:

Profile: Displays the name of the profile currently in use and another list where you can quickly change between profiles
Language: Shows the language currently used by Ikarus and a list to change between available languages
Lock Character: Opens the lock wizard dialog that will guide the user through the process of locking the current character, i.e. disabling Ikarus for that char. It is also possible to directly delete the profile for the current character within this wizard if desired.
Rename Profile: Opens the rename wizard that will let the user choose a new name for the current profile, updating all entries in the profile index.
Delete Profile: Opens the deletion wizard to let the user delete the current profile, whereupon the character will automatically be locked.
New Profile: Opens the profile wizard that will give the options to create a completely new profile or derive one from an already existing one.
Merge Profile: Merge two profiles and save the result in a new profile or overwrite an existing one.
Import Profile: Load a profile or presets from a file in the 'profiles' folder.
Export Profile: Serialize an existing profile into textual form and save it a file for backup or share it with others.

In case the current character should be locked the minimap button features no right-click menu but opens the unlock wizard instead of the config menu when left-clicking on it. So a locked character can be unlocked in just a few clicks.

In addition shift+left-click on the Ikarus minimap button will call ReloadUI() which causes your profile to being saved right away (as long as RoM does not honor you with the almighty crit). Attention: By using ReloadUI you will loose your currently saved private channels!

Bugs / Problems

Before reporting a bug or a problem, make sure that Ikarus and AA_PatchWork are the only AddOns installed and placed in directory Interface\AddOns\, so you can reproduce the bug/problem without any other AddOns!
When experiencing a bug take a screenshot of the error message if one is displayed. In addition, go to the config menu in Global - General and set the log level to 'debug'. A lot of debug-spam will be send to your default chat frame. Copy the last few dozen lines befor your error occured if you can reproduce it or take a screenshot of them. Attach those files to your bugreport to help us find the nasty little insect ;)

Please report bugs and problems only through the ticket system on curseforge.com and not in the comments!

IkarusUnitFrameCode [IUC]

Ikarus uses a simple formatting code (called IUC), very similar to common BB-Code. Keywords are enclosed by brackets (then called 'Tag'), eg "[LEVEL]" will result in the level of the corresponding unit to be displayed at the given text position. There is no actual limitation to the number of tags used per text, however massive use will result in slow processing!

The following tags are supported by now (some of them will work only at certain unit frames):

PSI: The current psi points of the player

HP: The current HP of the unit
HP_MAX: The current maximal HP of the unit
HP_REL: The relative HP of the unit, eg. the current percentage, as a plain integer
HEALTH: A complete health string: "HP / HP_MAX (HP_REL%)"
HP_DIFF: The difference between current HP and unit's max HP

MP: The current MP of the unit
MP_MAX: The current maximal MP of the unit
MP_REL: The relative MP of the unit, eg. the current percentage, as a plain integer
MANA: A complete mana string: "MP / MP_MAX (MP_REL%)"
MANA_TYPE: The type of mana used by the main class

SP: The current skill dependent points of the unit
SP_MAX: The maximal skill dependent points of the unit
SKILL: A complete skill string: "SP / SP_MAX (SP%)"
SKILL_TYPE: The type of mana used by the sub class

TYPE: The type of the unit, one of the following: PLAYER, NPC, MOB, ELITE, BOSS
TITLE: The unit's title
STATE: The unit's state: Alive or Dead
TARGET: The name of the unit's target
UNIT: The frame's unit

Castbar tags

SPELL_NAME: The current spell's name
SPELL_CASTTIME: The total cast time of the current spell (does not include delay)
SPELL_DURATION: The total cast time of the current spell (includes delay)
SPELL_SPENT: The time spent to cast the spell so far
SPELL_LEFT: The time left for completion of the current spell
SPELL_PROGRESS: The progress in casting the current spell
SPELL: A complete spell string: "SPELL_SPENT / SPELL_DURATION (SPELL_PROGRESS)"

Game tags

PING: The most recent ping value
FPS: The current frame rate
ZONE_ID: The current zone ID
ZONE: The name of the current zone

Color tags

Use one of the predefined color tags below in the form [RED]text[/RED]

white
black
red
green
blue
orange
yellow
brown
purple
grey
pink
berry
lilac
khaki
mint
peach
caramel
cyan
ruby

[COLOR:xxxxxx]text[/COLOR] define a custom color 'xxxxxx' in hex code

Color tags on labels will be handled in a most performant way. Precompiled text containing only regular IUC-tags will be stored for every label on the unit frame so that later operations do not need to replace the color tags again and again.

Colorizer

In Addition to IUC, Ikarus supports automatic color selection via the colorizer property. A colorizer can be applied to almost every object that can be colored,e.g. statusbars, labels...

The following colorizers are available by now (some of them will work only at certain unit frames):

Unit Colorizers

DIFFICULTY: Uses the RoM difficulty table to select color (depends on lvl difference)
RELATION: Uses the RoM relation table (color depending on how "friendly" the unit is)
BLOODBAR: Fades the color from green to red depending on relative health
CUSTOM: Color selection depending on colors defined in custom color section of global delegate
CLASS: Color selection depending on RoM system class color
SEC_CLASS: Color selection depending on RoM system class color for secondary class
WOW_CLASS: Same as CLASS, but with WoW colors

Script Support

All script or expression textfields can handle complex lua code as mentioned above. In expression fields you can write a complex boolean expression that will be evaluated when checking the state of a highlight condition.

The following variables and functions can be used inside a script field (of course you have access to all fields in the global environment '_G'):

delegate: The delegate itself, i.e. Ikarus' handler object for this unit.
unit: The delegate's unit (e.g. 'player').
cbunit: The unit related to the delegate's castbar ('player' on the general castbar, nil on some others).
hp: The current total health of the unit.
hprel: The current relative health of the unit.
hpmax: The maximum health of the unit.
hpdiff: The total difference between the unit's current and maximum health.
hpdiffrel: The relative difference between the unit's current and maximum health.
hpchange: The total amount of the last change in health of the unit.
hpchangerel: The amount of the last change in health of the unit relative to its maximum health.
mp: The current mana for the unit, if one of it's classes uses mana, 100 otherwise.
mpmax: The current total mana for the unit, if one of it's classes uses mana, 100 otherwise.
mprel: The current relative mana for the unit, if one of it's classes uses mana, 100 otherwise.
targeting: True if the unit is targeting the player.
mytarget: True if the player is targeting the unit.
assisting: True if the unit is assisting the player (targeting his target).
dead: True if the unit is declared dead.
enemy: True in case the unit can be attacked by the player.
friend: True in case the unit cannot attack the player.
infight: True if the player himself is in active combat state
lowesthp: True if the unit has the lowest current health amongst all party members.
hasbuff(name [,...]): Returns true if there exists a buff on the unit whose name is equal to one in the list. If no buff is specified it returns true if there exists at least one buff on the unit.
hasdebuff(name [,...]): Returns true if there exists a debuff on the unit whose name is equal to one in the list. If no debuff is specified it returns true if there exists at least one debuff on the unit.
hasbuffs(name [,...]): Returns true if there exist all specified buffs on the unit. If no buff is specified it returns true.
hasdebuffs(name [,...]): Returns true if there exist all specified debuffs on the unit. If no debuff is specified it returns true.
casting(name [,...]): Returns true if the unit is casting a spell that matches one of the given names. If no name is specified it returns true if the unit is casting anything.
mycast(name [,...]): Returns true if the player himself is casting a spell whose name matches one in the list. If no name is specified it returns true if the player is casting anything.
isclass(class [,...]): Returns true if the unit's class matches one of the given class names (does not check secondary class!).

A possible useful condition for a highlighter could then look like one of the following:

on party frame: assisting & casting("Heal","Urgent Heal"); this will highlight all party members healing the same target as the player himself
on party frame: !hasbuffs("Amplified Attack","Grace of Life","Magic Barrier"); this will highlight party members that lack one of the specified buffs
3 different conditions: hprel<75 hprel<50 hprel<25; combined with different colors and flashing modes this will warn you very obviously when a unit's health drops rapidly.

Other than expression fields the textfields in the scripts section of every unit have no restrictions regarding the type of input made to them. You can enter multiple lua expressions separated by semicolon.
In addition to the above variables and functions you get some extra function in this type of textfields:

cast(name): Attempts to cast the specified spell and returns true if there was no cooldown on it.
item(name): Uses an item specified by the given name.

For example you could create the following scripts:

"Regenerate": this will just cast a simple reg on the unit
if hpdiff>7000 then cast("Quick Heal") else cast("Regenerate") end: this will cast a quick heal on the unit in case it is severly injured or just put a simple reg on it otherwise

If you used the 'Lock Target' feature and for some reason do not want Ikarus to switch back to your previous target you can include a 'return true' statement in your script handler to tell Ikarus you want to stay on the unit related to this script field (e.g. 'if hasbuff(...) then cast("something") else return true end').

Cool stuff shipped along with PatchWork

PatchWorks features 2 little minigames that might shorten your time while waiting in instances or when you're just bored of everything else (minimizing the game windows causes the minigame to pause).

Runesweeper

This is a simple implementation of the good old minesweeper you know from windows. Click the start button and begin scanning the fields for mines. The number on a field tells you the amount of mines on all close-by fields. You can mark or unmark a field as mine by rightclicking it. Start the game via shlash-command "/rsweeper <mode>" or "/runesweeper <mode>" where '<mode>' may be one of 'easy', 'medium' or 'hard', the default value is 'easy'.

Sudoku

Quick to use implementation of the popular sudoku game. For a general description of sudoku check wikipedia or other info pages. Leftclicking an unset cell activates the corresponding candidate, leftcklicking on a marked candidate again sets it as chosen number for this cell. Right now there are no help options build in, so you are on your own ;) Start the game via shlash-command "/sudoku <mode>" where '<mode>' may be one of 'easy', 'medium' or 'hard' or the number of fields you want to be revealed at startup.

Feature Requests, Contact and other Stuff
