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.

Kagaro, i used a sample script from your list, to show the panel when you're struck in combat.

Show a panel based on being in combat

OnLoad

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

OnEvent

if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
self:Hide()
elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
self:Show()
end

It works great, the only problem is that when i log in to the game, the combat frame is shown... and then i have to enter combat and leave it to make it go away. Isn't there a way to make that panel hidden upon login, so it would be shown for the fist time only when i enter combat?

Thanks a lot and grats for your excelent work!

NVM... I figured that out.

A simple self:Hide() on the OnLoad tab solved the problem.

Thx.

change you script to be

if button == "RightButton" and released then
ToggleFrame(WorldMapFrame)
end

I added suppor ti 1.24 to let you onClick script see mouse up/down states via the local variabled

pressed
released

Just updated to 1.24 and something changed with an OnClick script I have.

I have a panel that sits over my minimap with OnClick script:

if button == "RightButton" then
ToggleFrame(WorldMapFrame)
end

So when I right clicked it, it opened up my map. Now, its acting more like OnMouseDown instead of OnClick. When I'm holding my right mouse button down on the panel it shows the map, but as soon as I release it toggles again.

The file is under Interface\Addons\textures\test.tga
I also changed the image sized to 512 X 256
Using the path \\Interface\\Addons\\textures\\test.tga

Still getting the texture missing line =(

This makes me sad because I'm currently using Electroflux Textronator to texture my addon, and I'm trying to switch to a more updated add-on.

Paths for textures must be under interface\addons for wow to see them, placing them directly under interface will not work.

Yeah I noticed I had saved my texture in the wrong place but it works now.
@Nae-Blis
"Dimensions must be powers of 2, e.g.: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512"
Change your dimensions to 512 x 256 and it should upload.

/tar self

thanks lol
I am having trouble figuring out how to get the background of my art to be transparent. Every time I upload it I have my art, but it's in a big box. Any suggestions, because I'm pretty new to photoshop.

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?
