What's new

Lightforge Frame – Changelog

v0.15.1

New features

Class resources under the player frame

  • Combo points (Rogue, and Druid in Cat Form), Holy Power (Paladin), Chi (Windwalker Monk), Soul Shards (Warlock), Arcane Charges (Arcane Mage), Essence (Evoker) and Runes (Death Knight).
  • Two styles to choose from:
    • Sharp segments: flat, pixel-bordered segments that span the frame’s width.
    • Blizzard default: Blizzard’s own resource bar, moved under your frame.
  • Charged combo points glow blue.
  • Destruction Warlock shards fill gradually as fragments build.
  • Death Knight runes are colored by spec, sorted with ready runes first, and fill up live while recharging.
  • The number of segments follows your talents, and the bar hides automatically for specs without a resource and while you’re in a vehicle.

Your buffs and debuffs on the player frame

  • Optional: buffs above the player frame, debuffs below it (under the class resource bar when shown).
  • Duration swipes, timers, stack counts and tooltips.
  • 6, 8, 10 or 12 icons per row.
  • Can hide Blizzard’s default buff icons at the top right of the screen.

Profiles

  • Every setting is saved in named profiles, and each character remembers which one it uses.
  • Create (copied from current or from defaults), switch, copy from another profile, reset and delete.
  • Existing settings are moved into a “Default” profile automatically.

Role icon

  • Tank, healer or DPS icon on the portrait corner.
  • Shows your queued role in groups, or your spec’s role when solo. On target and focus, shows the role of group members.

Combat and resting icon

  • Crossed swords pulse on the portrait while in combat.
  • “Zzz” resting icon in inns and cities.
  • Also shows when your target or focus is in combat.

Custom class colors

  • Pick your own health bar color for any class, or keep Blizzard’s.
  • Reset one class or all classes back to default.

Improvements

  • Health bars now use Blizzard’s exact official class colors.
  • The bar gloss is now a thin highlight along the top edge, so the rest of the bar shows the true color. It can be turned off with Glossy highlight on bars.
  • The player frame now builds its core first and adds each extra separately. If one part ever fails, the frame still loads and chat names the part that failed.
  • /lf status now also lists any feature errors.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the player frame not loading on Midnight (12.x) because of a Blizzard template that no longer exists in the game.
