Shadowed Unit Frames TBC Anniversary Fork

Shadowed Unit Frames forked specifically for TBC Anniversary

Description

Shadowed Unit Frames – TBC Anniversary

This is a maintained fork of Shadowed Unit Frames designed specifically for The Burning Crusade Anniversary (2.4.x Classic).

This version focuses on stability, correct range detection, and proper behavior in sanctuary environments like Shattrath. The goal is to keep the original SUF experience intact while fixing client-specific issues that affect TBC Anniversary realms.

What’s Improved

Range detection has been modernized and corrected for:

  • Hostile units
  • Same-faction players
  • Opposite-faction players in sanctuary cities
  • Friendly NPCs (vendors, trainers, bankers, etc.)
  • Party and raid members

The range system now:

  • Properly handles “unknown” range states
  • Avoids false out-of-range indicators
  • Uses safe out-of-combat interact distance fallbacks
  • Prevents protected function errors and taint
  • Removes cooldown-based spell inconsistencies

This is a focused stability and compatibility fork intended specifically for TBC Anniversary.
