ElvUI Progressive DataBars
The default DataBars (XP, Honor, Artifact, Reputation) in ElvUI are visually boring, so spice them up! This plugin should work with most ElvUI plugins, but if it doesn't, file a bug report via the link below.
The XP DataBar:
- Blend the alpha/opacity of the bar as you gain XP
The Reputation DataBar and Tooltip:
- Assigns distinct colours within ElvUI's main settings
- Blend the alpha/opactity of the bar as you gain reputation
- Fill the reputation bar at Exalted (but not Paragon for retail WoW)
The Honor DataBar:
- Blend the alpha/opacity of the bar as you gain honor
The Azerite Power DataBar:
- Blend the alpha/opacity of the bar as you gain Azerite power
Localization:
You can help contribute translations so other people around the world of Azeroth can have this glorious AddOn in their native tongues.

Did you find something that isn't working, or thought of an improvement? By all means please let me know.

I accept cookies, treats, donations, game time, and hot Night Elf women. Er wait... Anyway, if you want to help me out, you can find me in these places:
For those reporting the installer running multiple times, I'm looking into what's going on. When I released version 2.2.00, I wasn't getting that behaviour, even in testing, which means I am not doing something that you guys are doing. I feel like a scientist: test, test, test, test again.
Ticket #10 has been created about the issue.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
I think I have a fix for the repeating installation, and am doing testing now.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
big thanks and best of luck!
In reply to oxed:
I am pushing 2.21 now with fixes. I had tonumber() bugs, variables mismatches... Yep, I am dumb, some of the time all of the time.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
Version 2.21 has the fixes. Sadly, users must run the installer one last time. Skip Process may work, but I can't guarantee success.
November 16, 2022: there are going to be delays updating this addon for patch 10.0.2. Not one, but two of my friends just lost people in their lives, and I am part of their support groups. The friends and their lost loved ones are not related, these are tragic coincidences.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
No worries on the delays, the real world always comes first.
That said, with the update you pushed today, I get a repeating cycle of the install.
In reply to Skychilde:
A repeating cycle of install? Interesting. What version of WoW?
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
classic wrath for me
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
Getting the same issue with Retail (10.0.2)
I logged in for the rest time, went through the install steps, when I hit Finished, it reloaded my UI and the installer popped up again. (happened two times in a row)
I then hit "skip process" and it reloaded my UI again, and is trying to run the installer again.
EDIT: The third time or so, I just hit the "X"/close button on the pop up window and it went away without reloading my UI. However, as son as I reload my UI manually - the install process comes up again.
Using:
I get thus error constantly when first opening ElvUI options after any first login or after first reload of the game UI.
I believe this has basically been happening sense the 10.0.0 release of WoW

Also, there has been quite a few updates and changes to ElvUI you may need to check out before updating this addon again (https://www.tukui.org/download.php?ui=elvui > "changelog tab); however, version 13.01 has this bigger filer/folder change:
Not sure if that effects your addon or not.
In reply to JDM12983:
It's fixed with 2.2.00. In the future, please stop getting any of my addons from Github. None of that code is working; I only use Github as a repository and packager.
My addons are available in release versions on Curseforge, Wago.io, and Wowinterface. Github should never be used to get the "latest" builds.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
No clue what you are on about getting this addon from GitHub. I only ever download addons from here.
In reply to JDM12983:
In that case, I apologize. Based on your bug report, it looked like unfinished Github code. If not, I'm sorry, and I am mistaken. Hopefully I fixed this addon. I have spent far too many hours on the rewrite because of 10.0.2 and ElvUI 13.00+
Maybe now I can play the game!
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
Yeah, seems a lot of mods have been having issues with 10.0
Plus side with yours; as far as I could tell; it was still working properly [or at least for me]; just would get an error every time opening options menu for ElvUI.
In reply to JDM12983:
You aren't kidding. The "use item from inventory" bug is all over the place. How is the new setup, even if the old version worked, yet was buggy with the options? I've been testing it for 3-4 weeks setting and resetting custom faction colours in ElvUI then running the EPDBC installer. I really hope I caught all the possible bugs.
In reply to JDM12983:
I am aware of the changes to ElvUI, and that errors are happening. It sounds like you got a stray alpha build of ElvUI PCDB. I have a newer version on my computer which I am testing. So far, so good, no errors.
However, The next version will come with an installer script, like most layout plugins for ElvUI. This was the only way I could solve the other issue of the enable/disable toggle resetting any custom colours the user wants instead of the pre-defined colours in this addon.
This newer version will hopefully ship later Tuesday or Wednesday, for patch 10.0.2.
In reply to Sygon_Paul:
Well, self, you had it working on 10.0.0, but of course 10.0.2 broke things. Working on it...
Hey! I'm trying to change the custom colors under both DataBars and Tooltip. Everything works great in the moment, but as soon as the UI is refreshed (either by logging out or via /reloadui), all the changes I've made are reverted to the defaults. Any suggestions?
I'm running ElvUI 12.86 and PDBC 2.1.10.
