Changelog

All notable changes to LotusResourceTick are documented here.

[1.8] - 2026-09-15

Changed

• Options panel now lives under a shared Lotus category (Interface Options → Lotus → ResourceTick) instead of its own top-level AddOns entry.

[1.7]

Fixed

• Transparency slider direction was inverted from what the label implied — 100% now correctly means fully transparent (invisible), 0% fully opaque (visible).

Changed

• Default bar color for all three resources (Energy/Mana/Rage) is now white. Existing custom colors are preserved; only untouched defaults are reset.

[1.6]

Fixed

• Options panel could throw a Lua error on open (attempt to index nil) if the saved color settings predated per-resource colors — now self-heals from defaults instead of crashing.
• Fixed an infinite-loop error ("loop in gettable") that could occur on an English client when opening the color picker, caused by a self-referencing locale fallback table.
• Color swatches in the options panel always rendered black regardless of the selected color (a UI-layer ordering bug) — swatches now correctly reflect the chosen color.

Changed

• Options layout reworked: each resource's checkbox and color swatch now sit on a single, properly aligned row instead of two separate misaligned sections.

[1.5]

Added

• Full localization: the options panel UI is now available in all official WoW client languages (enUS, deDE, esES, esMX, frFR, itIT, koKR, ptBR, ruRU, zhCN, zhTW), auto-selected from your client's locale.

[1.4]

Added

• New settings panel (Interface Options → AddOns → ResourceTick): adjustable bar width, transparency, bar color, and per-resource (Energy/Mana/Rage) enable toggles. Settings persist across sessions via SavedVariables.

[1.3]

Changed

• Rage's out-of-combat decay interval is no longer a hardcoded guess. Published sources disagree on the exact decay rate, so the addon now measures it live from your own observed decay ticks and adapts automatically — accurate regardless of which number was actually right.

[1.2]

Added

• Rage support: unlike Energy/Mana (which tick while gaining), Rage has no periodic tick while gaining in combat — instead, the indicator tracks Rage's real decay rhythm while out of combat, shown as a reversed (right-to-left) line. Automatically works in Bear Form for Druids, same as Warriors, since it's driven purely by resource type rather than class/spec.

[1.1] - Initial Release (renamed from LotusEnergyTick)

Added

• Tick indicator overlaid directly on the standard PlayerFrame Energy/Mana bar — no custom frame, no repositioning needed.
• Automatic resource detection: tracks Energy or Mana depending on your class/form, switching seamlessly when a Druid shifts between Cat Form and Caster Form.
• Self-correcting sync: the indicator re-anchors to the exact moment of each observed regeneration tick instead of relying on a fixed guess, preventing drift over time.
• Confidence dimming: when the tracked resource is full and a tick can no longer be directly observed, the indicator keeps looping on its last known timing but dims to signal it's now an estimate.

Notes

• Built for WoW Classic Era, patch 1.15.9. Only touches the existing PlayerFrameManaBar — no secure-frame hooks, no taint risk.
