General Digits - A numeric head-up display - Page 4

I posted it in the news item about Digits but not here: When I get SBF 3.1 out the door, I am going to rebuild Digits to allow you to put up displays for whatever units you want.

I must've missed that. Thankyou very much, and good luck with SBF 3.1- I'm looking forward to that one, too.

There is generally no point in that. The game client sends a notification event when your power changes so updating any faster than that will just refresh the same number over and over again until the event is sent, at which point you're refreshing that new number over and over until the event fires next.

That said, in combat events may be delayed in the spam of events being dumped down to your client so it's worth looking at polling while in combat to see if it makes any difference. I'm thinking it won't, but it can't hurt to test.

Thing is, for me, when I go out of combat Digits is often 2-3 rage behind the Pitbull player frame's stated rage (then jumping down in sets of 2 or 3 rage to catch up with the unit frame) - and sometimes Digits even gets stuck on 1 rage when I've gone down to 0.

On the flipside, I honestly cannot fathom why people would want bars. As I've said elsewhere in here before, I am one of those (apparently very rare) people who get no useful information in any way from a status bar that is used to show a quantity. On the other hand, I can observe a number in my peripheral vision and parse it without having to pay full attention to it.

Without left brained people (note: not leftist people, they are generally right brained), humanity would be lucky to be running about in loin cloths hunting with spears rather than doing all the driving about in cars, and brushing our teeth that we get to do these days.

U R NOT ALONE, thanks for the mod.

You know what would be nice to have... if there was an option so that the numbers would change colour at a user-defined point (or %). So you could (say) set it up so that the colour changed at low health (or high rage) - just another visual cue.

It was just an idle thought I had - no worries if it doesnt appeal to you

Actually a question about your buff add-on and didnt want to clutter the boards.

But I was wondering about the syntax to use to get sword and board to show by itself. I currently have it set to show as buff with less than 5 seconds. Great for solo/5-mans (for the most part) horrible for raids because it gets over written by other classes abilities.

Any help would be appreciated.

Disable that addon, move Digits, renable that addon?

**Satrina** · #69 03-25-2009, 07:03 AM

When you open the Digits options, the digits display is set to framelevel 20 - it should be overtop of every addon you have at that point.

Thx

Ty for the awesome add on Satrini. the main tank in the guild i'm in suggested i check it out (Endevor you are useful sometimes lol) and now i have it on for all of my toons just because of how easy it makes things to watch.

Hi satrina, quick check i'm guessing you are gettign SBf out of the way before updating this to 3.1 right?
Thanks, SBF and digits both great keep up the good work

I absolutely love this addon. It has made my raid UI so much cleaner since discovering it.

My only question is rather or not there is a way to make the text in the addon larger or if 23 is the largest I can make it? After 23 the health numbers stop growing in size.

I saw on Ciderhelm's UI that the text seems to be much larger.

Is there just a certain font I should install that is naturally larger than any fonts I may have now?

**Satrina** · #74 04-16-2009, 09:19 PM

Yeah, there is definitely a maximum font size for strings on the UI. That size number for some fonts will be bigger than for others. If you look around I am sure you can find font packs for LibSharedMedia.

Hey Satrina.

Is it possible to recode this addon to show target' hp?
Would be a great help atleast for me if i was possible to see the target' HP without move my eyes away from bosses/raid frames/whatever we allready gotta watch out for ?

**Satrina** · #76 04-16-2009, 11:01 PM

No. I have no plans at all to do that posted in the OP of this thread.

Jag Kara · #77 06-02-2009, 03:24 PM

Just wondering, is a new version for 3.1.3 coming out? (I believe thats the latest one.) the last one at the end of that link is for 3.0.9

Edgar · #78 06-02-2009, 03:28 PM

Not every patch requires an update of an addon.

I highly guess Digits will work after patchday.

**Satrina** · #79 06-02-2009, 06:18 PM

Very few addons require updating just because of a patch, yet people are conditioned like Pavlov's dog to update.

Jag Kara · #80 06-03-2009, 12:59 AM

Well, I realize that, but the fact is the lastest one on curse won't work with the latest patch. So, thats why I asked for an update.
