XLoot 1.0

Using Smooth skin

A customizable loot frame

Providing a large array of options to change how loot is presented, as well as allowing you to use Masque or ButtonFacade Skins, XLoot's job is to make looting more functional while still having a better form.

Options GUI available under Interface->Addons or /xloot

Auto-looting of quest items and coins has been disabled by default

The 1.0 XLoot branch will eventually replace the legacy XLoot once all features have been implemented.

The major advantage to using the new version is support for Masque/ButtonFacade skins, as well as custom image-based skins instead of simply coloring the frame.

Skinning

XLoot can use any Masque skins, but skins made to fit rectangles will work better for obvious reasons.

Here's a example of Caith (A masque skin) with Frame transparency set to 0, along with the Legacy skin and a normal background:

Masque Caith (Transparent frame) Legacy skin (Fixed width)

If you find a skin that doesn't fit correctly, either tell me or go ahead and make a quick compatibility addon (See below)

About the plugins

XLoot Group/Monitor/Master require the support plugin in order to be used with this version.

I will be re-writing them as time allows to be stand-alone addons instead of plugins, which will work alongside 1.0 natively, and once that happens, they will all replace the old versions I post. I respect that some people like the old look of the frames, and I may try to make a legacy-lookalike skin.

Extending XLoot

It's easy to release skins or tweak masque skins (Or include tweaks in your skin, if you are already a masque skin author!) Skins are really just square textures of a border, like Masque skins.

To let XLoot know about your skin, use: XLootFrame:RegisterSkin(skin_name, skin_table)

To add a tweak for a Masque skin, use: XLootFrame:RegisterMasqueTweak(masque_skin_name, skin_table)

For documentation of skin_table, see the comments near the top of XLoot.lua

Please make sure you have permission to use any textures you include.

    Thanks for reporting this. There should be a fix soon, I forgot to account for bag space.

    @Dextronian: Go

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Check out the new "Legacy" skin, a user who liked the older appearance submitted it. I welcome feedback to improve it, as while I prefer the new you and many others prefer the old, I am not averse to meeting you halfway.

    As far as the plugins, you can use them without the old version already, get the support/"dummy" addon. (I think I named that badly as well..) I will be working on porting them properly, too.

    Hi Xuerian,

    The reason you arent't getting any feedback and/or dl's on .16 is prolly due to being so close to xmas .. ppl prolly buying present and stuff.

    secondly .. i and my friends still use your old addon .. don't like the design/look of the new one, and miss the modules which are available for the old version.

    Since the new GUI thingie I can't link loots to raid-chat anymore. Tried to /xloot set the threshold manually to 0, but didn't work :P

    hey, can you add xloot master?

    @gOOvER: Go

    It is as good as the old one if u get plugins. I realy dont think that he will update Xloot. Xloot 1.0 was made to replace all parts from Xloot but it will require some time.

  • Avatar of gOOvER gOOvER Apr 18, 2011 at 14:11 UTC - 0 likes

    Sorry for say that, but xloot 1.0 is not really good. Please Update your old xLoot Release and please don't write any new .

    For me, i only use the old xloot ;)

    How soon it will be updated and will support plugins? Will it be translated and localized for Ru-version.
