For a long time now I've been puzzled as to why there aren't more addons like this available...
Sure there's the big ones like FTC, but they are a whole "package" of several addons in one so to speak. But what if for each of those modules you already have another addon you prefer? Still use the big one only for groupframes?
Another point was that none of the groupframes addons I could find displayed @UserIDs, only Characternames. Which is what started me looking at lua code and eventually deciding to just make an addon myself.

I hope you will find this addon useful. I still have a lot planned for this addon, so work will continue with adding new features (and squashing bugs )


Features
  • Indicators for "Being ressed", "Res pending", "Reincarnating"
  • Indicators for Shield, Stealth, Foodbuff, War Horn
  • Choose different colours for roles
  • Correct display of roles assigned by dungeon finder
  • Option to sort the units by role
  • Tooltips
  • Right-click menus
  • Regen arrows
  • Displays names according to system settings
  • Choose how many units per column you wish displayed and growth direction
  • Chat notifications
  • Optional: LibGroupSocket support, if you have either LGS or GroupResources installed you can see the magicka and stamina values of other groupmembers with LGS installed

Slash Commands
  • /jogroup unlock unlocks the frames to reposition them
  • /jogroup lock locks them again
  • /rl reloads the ui
  • /rc perform a ready check
  • /gl leave your group
  • /gd disband your group

To do
  • More customisation options
  • Compact Mode needs works

Exactly what I've been looking for! Many thanks for this addon! I always felt the regular group frames were very lacking but I didn't want to change my entire UI just to get some group frames. I also wanted something not too distant from the regular UI. This is perfect.

Btw, I got this error.
Code:
user:/AddOns/JoGroup/JoGroup.lua:221: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
	user:/AddOns/JoGroup/JoGroup.lua:221: in function 'JoGroup.UpdatePower'

Thank you! Could you tell me more about what you were doing then? Did you log back in the game while already in a group that was fighting? I thought I had fixed that in the latest update, but it might need fine-tuning.
Really hoping I can make this addon as good as possible

Other stuff is nice, but the ress status is pretty awesome. Surprised no one else thought of that.

I can't remember exactly what I was doing but I don't think I did anything special. It just happened when I was running around with my friend in a group. But I can tell you for sure that I didn't log back in to the game Maybe I was in a loading screen from traveling but I don't know for sure haha.

Edit: Got it again after traveling to a zone where none of my group members were at.

Suggestions

This addon is great! Just some small suggestions for you:

1) Separate the normal party frames and the raid frames. Having them in different places would be very useful instead of all together in one.

2) When shields are up, it only shows the max shield that was applied, not the current shield. Could you change it to show the current shield? This would be more useful to know

Other than that, loving this so far, those two changes would make it a lot more user friendly

I've got a question for you? Is it possible for the API to tell you whether a player in your group is out of LOS? For example, if they are standing behind a wall or something.

Hah! I... erm... may have forgotten to finished the shield function, it'll be done in the next update XD Thanks!

As for separating, I'm not entirely sure yet if I want that for this addon, or have it one way only, by design... I might wait for more feedback before deciding anything.

I'm pretty certain that this is not possible. If I'm wrong, please anyone point me in the right direction and I'll check it out, but I've seen no functions giving any such information made available by ZOS.

Got the error again when I teleported to Spellscar in Craglorn and leaving my party member behind. The exact thing happened the last time. I also traveled to Spellscar that time.

Edit: It probably has to do with the combat state. MY buddy was in combat far away from me and I went to a wayshrine and traveled to another zone. When I arrived in the new zone I got the error again.

This is a great addon. Thank you!

I have a couple of small cosmetic suggestions to make:

First, a minor bug fix: when someone joins the group, the name in the chat log will look something like, "Character Name^Fx".

The "^Fx" (or "^Mx") at the end is a tag indicating the gender of the character, and it's there because some of the game's text formatting functions can supply gender-specific pronouns. You use the ZO_FormatUserFacingCharacterName function, but this function doesn't use (or remove) the gender tag. What ZO_FormatUserFacingCharacterName does is add a decorative icon to the name if the game is in gamepad mode (in keyboard mode, the function does absolutely nothing).

The way to remove the gender tag (and any other special formatting tags--there are lots of others) is to use either the zo_strformat function or the LocalizeString function (zo_strformat is a wrapper for LocalizeString; you can use the latter directly).

For example:
Code:
-- In en.lua:
ZO_CreateStringId("SI_JOGROUP_JOINED", "<<1>> has joined the group.")

-- In JoGroup.lua:
d(LocalizeString(GetString(SI_JOGROUP_JOINED), memberName))
This has the added benefit that the localizer could change the position in which the name appears in the sentence, to better fit the grammatical structure of a particular language.



Second, instead of displaying "CP555", you can display the champion icon instead. It would look something like this:


To do this, simply replace the "CP" with
zo_iconFormat("/esoui/art/menubar/gamepad/gp_playermenu_icon_champion.dds", 18, 18)

For example:
Code:
level = GetUnitChampionPoints(unitTag) > 0 and zo_iconFormat("/esoui/art/menubar/gamepad/gp_playermenu_icon_champion.dds", 18, 18) .. GetUnitChampionPoints(unitTag) or GetUnitLevel(unitTag),

Ow that really explains some things for me, thanks so much!

One more suggestion, if I may...

You can call the ZO_ShouldPreferUserId() function to see if the user has selected that they prefer account names (true) or character names (false). If they are set prefer account names, then use the current format of "@account (character)", but if they are set to prefer character names, you can format using "character (@account)".

The names that people see on nameplates and in the chat window are controlled by the ZO_ShouldPreferUserId() setting, and it makes it easier to match those names with the names being shown in the group frame if the group frame followed that setting as well.

I'd like to see a more compact version of this addon that tries to fit more into less space(similar to LUI's large group mode) Rather than using a entirely separate line or place to display the whole phrase "being ressed", the class icon, and the cp Icon put something like BR in the health bar of whoever is being ressed. The class icon and cp level icon can also be put inside the health bar or made optional.

In other words, I'd like to see an optional minimized space mode where all data, through the use of icons and acronyms, fits inside the space of the the health bar of each group member.

Thanks again! I'd been thinking about that, but hadn't found that function yet.

A compacter version is definitely something I'm willing to experiment with once the biggest issues are out of the way.
