IceHUD is a highly configurable and customizable HUD addon in the spirit of DHUD, MetaHUD, and others designed to keep your focus in the center of the screen where your character is.
4.0 restriction
There is one known problem with the mod right now: Blizzard has recently changed how buffs are handled in their API, so right-clicking a buff to cancel it in the PlayerInfo module will currently throw an error. Most other buff mods have implemented this restriction as well, but I'm watching to see how others fix it before deciding the best approach to fix it in IceHUD. Most likely the PlayerInfo module is going to require a complete rewrite to work with the new secure buff frames that Blizzard added.
Update - I have a patch ready that will allow disabling buffs while in combat or out. However, with this feature enabled the ability to change the size of the player's buffs/debuffs separately from (de)buffs cast by others cannot work due to Blizzard's API. Is this an acceptable trade-off for everyone or how would you prefer this be handled? Leave a comment letting me know your vote so I can figure out a solution!
What it is
Player and target health and mana bars, casting and mirror bars, pet health and mana bars, druid mana bar in forms, extensive target info, ToT display, and much more
Short feature list
- Lots of different bar shapes and patterns to make the HUD look like you want
- Class-specific modules such as combo point counters, Slice'n'dice timers, druid mana trackers, Eclipse bar, Holy Power monitoring, Warlock shard tracking, and more
- Target-of-target bars, Crowd Control timers, Range Finders, Threat meters, and plenty of other helpful modules
- Lots of DogTag-supported strings for extreme customizability (with the option to completely disable DogTag support for those that dislike the CPU toll that it takes)
- Cast lag indicator (optional)
- Alpha settings for in combat, target selected, etc.
- Fully customizable bars and counters capable of tracking buff/debuff applications on any unit, spell/ability cooldowns, and the health/mana of any unit you specify. The custom health/mana bars will even work with crazy unit specifications like "focustargettargetfocustarget" if you want!
- Highly configurable (can totally re-arrange all bars, change text display, etc.)
Slash commands
/icehud - opens the configuration UI to tweak any setting
/icehudCL - command-line access to tweak IceHUD settings (for use with macros, etc.)
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I hide the default Blizzard player, target unit frames and party unit frames?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, click "Player Health" or "Target Health," and check "Hide Blizzard Frame" and/or "Hide Blizzard Party Frame". (NOTE: before version 1.3.7, the player/target unitframes were hidden by default. Follow the same steps to enable them if desired)
2. How do I turn off click-targeting and menus on the player bar?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, click "Player Health," un-check "Allow click-targeting." Note that as of v1.3, there is now an option to allow click-targeting out of combat, but turn it off while in combat.
3. How do I hide the HUD or change its transparency based on combat, targeting, etc.?
Type /icehud, check the "Transparency Settings" section. Nearly any combination of states should be available for tweaking.
4. Even if the rest of the HUD is transparent, the health percentages seem to show up. Why?
Type /icehud, expand the "Module Settings" section, expand "Player Health," click "Text Settings," look for options about keeping the lower/upper text blocks alpha locked. If the text is alpha locked, it will not drop below 100%, otherwise it respects its bar's transparency setting. Player Health/Mana, Target Health/Mana, and pet bars should all have these options.
5. Is there any way to see combo points for Rogues and Druids or sunder applications for Warriors?
Yes, check the "Combo Points" and "Sunders" modules in the /icehud configuration panel. (Note that these modules may not show up if you're not of the appropriate class to see them. They should be present for their respective classes, however.)
6. Any plans for a range finder?
Why yes! One was added in version 1.3.
7. What's this thing at the top of the player's cast bar and threat bar? It's darker than the rest of the bar. (and may be colored red)
That's the Cast Lag Indicator (or the aggro-pull warning for the Threat bar) that shows you when you can start casting a new spell and still be able to finish the current one (based on your lag to the server). You can disable this in the Player Cast Bar settings under the /icehud configuration screen.
8. Is there a bar that shows breath underwater and if so, how can I adjust it?
Yes, this is called the MirrorBarHandler in the module settings portion of the /icehud configuration. It's called that because it mirrors casting bar behavior, displays more than just breathing (fatigue is one example), and that's what Blizzard calls it. It can be moved/adjusted/resized/etc. as with any other module.
9. There's a long green bar that sometimes shows up below everything else. What is it?
That would be the TargetOfTarget module. That module is available for people who don't want the full ToT health/mana bars, but do want some sort of ToT representation on the screen. It's configurable through the /icehud module settings.
10. IceHUD needs a bar or counter for buff/debuff X!
Good news: as of v1.5, you can create as many bars and counters for any buffs or debuffs you want! Type /icehud, select one of the custom module types in the drop-down at the top of the settings page, and press the Create button. This will create a custom module and automatically select it in the list. It is highly recommend that you rename the bar as soon as possible to avoid any confusion later.
11. How do I turn off the resting/combat/PvP/etc. icons on the player or target?
Type /icehud, expand Module Settings, expand PlayerHealth (or TargetHealth for targets), click Icon Settings. You can control every aspect of the icons there including location, visibility, draw order, etc.
12. How do I turn off buffs/debuffs on the player's or target's bar?
Type /icehud, expand Module Settings, expand PlayerInfo (or TargetInfo for targets), select Buff Settings or Debuff Settings, and un-check "show buffs" (or "show debuffs").
13. How do I turn off these big huge bars that pulse whenever one of my abilities procs?
This isn't IceHUD - it's Blizzard's new Spell Alerts they added in 4.0.1. Interface options => Combat => "Show Spell Alerts" to turn them off or search for a mod to tweak their positioning/size/etc.

Thanks Parnic! That did the trick :)
However. my coding skills leaves a lot to be desired, as the saying goes. Using /dogtag and searching for "SeparateDigits" or "thousand separator" didnt give much information. I couldnt figure out how to change the thousand sperator in-game, the coding language is to alien to me. If you could explain how to do it, it would be appreciated! :)

Change your DogTag for the bar in question to have :SeparateDigits after it. So for example, PlayerHealth's lower text might become:
or whatever you want it to look like. The SeparateDigits tag allows you to specify whatever you want for a thousands separator, so you can use a space there if you want.
You can type /dog to get an interactive tool for tweaking these DogTags. Use the search function to see how to change the thousands separator to a space for SeparateDigits.

But I have encountered a small but very annoying problem, it gets very hard to see quickly if a mob has 11111 HP or 111111 HP. I have been trying to figure out how to add a thousands sperator, preferable a space. Is there such a function somewhere that I have missed?

Each module has a "side" and "offset" setting. Change the bars you want on the left to be "side: left" and adjust the offset. Do the same for the right.

That's not possible at this time. Thanks for the feature request.

phup Aug 24, 2011 at 14:28 UTC - 0 likesIs it possible to have combo points still show but in a different color than normal if they exist on a mob other than the one you have targeted? To make it more obvious that redirect, SnD or recuperate is a good idea but a combo builder or damage finisher isn't
