kgPanels

Table of Contents

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elseif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

As an added note to my post below, I also tried moving the file into a textures folder within my addons directory and changed my path to compensate, but that made no difference either.

I just created a .tga to try and add some custom artwork.
I have tried saving it as both a 24 and 32bit/pixel without having any compression.
The size is 512 X 250 pixels
However I can't get kgpanels to find my file.

I get the following error in WoW:
[13:43:56]kgPanels: Texture missing! \\Interface\\textures\\test.tga

I have it saved in:
C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\textures\test.tga

I enter \\Interface\\textures\\test.tga in the artwork path field under the artwork name field and artwork type drop down menu.

I understand Ripstorm93 has the same symptoms, but I noticed that the solution to his problem is that his filepath isn't pointing to the correct directory due to the path pointing to a textures folder that doesn't exist in the addons directory.

Mine seems to be in all the right places.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm new to using kgPanels and am having some problems. I've read some tutorials and watched some vids and stuff but I can't manage to upload my own artwork/textures. So hopefully one of you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I am using Microsoft Digital Image (Starter Addition) to create the file as .tga

Here's where I am saving the file.
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\textures\Rip.tga

Dimensions of the file are 128 by 128.

Here's my Path that I am using
\\Interface\\AddOns\\textures\\Rip.tga

So what am I doing wrong because I don't see my texture being uploaded?

Hi, I got kgPanels today and after reading some tutorials and watching some vids I am starting to have a grasp for the basics of this addon. But here's my problem. I can't figure out how to upload my own textures/artwork

Here's where I am saving the file.
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\textures\Rip.tga

Nub Question No 3487

I set up with a new texture. The result is a big white square. The only way to get the texture to display is by ticking "Tile Background". It displays (stretched into a square, which isn't so fine).

After playing around for some time, half the textures I've tracked down work fine and the other half will only display when you tile.

Any ideas on what it could be?

as for #2 you need to handle that via onUpdate and check the time vs some variable you set
for #1
use onShow

PlaySoundFile("sound file path")

if they are all the same size you could do self.bg:SetTexture(kgPanels:FetchArt("asset name","background"))
to swap the textures

Can't post in the wiki page for some reason so im asking here.

I am doing some scripting and while I've figured out most of it. Im wondering if it is possible to do a couple things.

1.) Any way to have kgpanels trigger a sound when a pannels shows. A simple thing to do with other mods but I'd like to keep it down to as few as possible.

2.) After I've triggered a panel to show, is there any way to have it hide itself after a set amount of time?

3.) In one area of my UI, I have some artwork I use as a background that changes based on a number of things happening. Right now I just have a few frames on top of eachother and I am simply hiding everything but the one I want shown at a certain time. Potentially this could change frequently and I would rather keep any stress on the game to a minimum. Is there a 'better' way to do it, say having them all shown but swapping transparencies, etc. or is it really going to make any difference how I go about doing it?

Any number of graphics programs can save as .tga files. GiMP is quite a handy one to have and is easily found.

Alright, I'm a noob. How do I get a gradient to color from left to right, instead of the default right to left?
