Stops out-of-range fading on Blizzard Raid & Party Frames. Minimal, safe, no dependencies. Just arf (anti range fadeout)

Description

AntiRangeFade - arf

Purpose of this AddOn
The purpose of this AddOn is to prevent Blizzard Compact Unit Frames (Raid & Party Frames) from fading out when units are out of range in a raid instance.

The AddOn hooks into Blizzard’s frame update logic and forces full visibility without modifying or overriding the original Blizzard functions.
It is designed as a lightweight utility with minimal footprint and no external dependencies.

The behavior is intentionally limited to supported environments (raid instance) since that is what we like.

Features

  • Prevents out-of-range fade on:
    • Raid Frames
  • Zone-aware:
    • Active only in Raid instances (can be extended to Dungeons)
  • Safe implementation:
    • Uses hooksecurefunc
    • Avoids secret value / tainted API usage
    • No direct manipulation of Blizzard internals
  • Lightweight:
    • Single-file AddOn
    • No libraries required

       

Usage

1. Install AddOn

Place the AddOn folder in your Interface/AddOns directory or install via Curseforge client and /reload the UI.
