DiceMaster Unit Frames

DiceMaster Unit Frames is a supplemental sister addon for DiceMaster, allowing players to create custom unit frames for their party or raid that bring to life characters or enemies in roleplay that aren't represented in the game world.

Especially during events where a DM uses raid markers to represent key enemies, allies, and NPCs, it can become confusing for players to remember what each marker is associated with. Using DiceMaster Unit Frames, you can create a handful of visual identifiers to depict characters and objects that are otherwise left to the imagination, improving the immersion of all players!

You can choose from a library of over 80,000 NPC models to customise your NPCs, tag them with one of nine target markers, give them a custom name, adjust their health bars, and more in real time.

Brand new frame artwork! I also shifted the location of the health bar and the name edit box to make room for....

Monster affixes! Similar to DiceMaster traits, affixes are custom effects or ability that add flavour to a unit. The affix frame is hidden by default but can be toggled by right clicking the frame area.

This also means there’s a new editor to customise affixes! Simply left click the affix frame to open this editor where you can choose an icon, name, and short description. You can even save and load affixes for quick access.

New model categories! The model picker has new menus and categories updated with BfA models. (I’ll likely add more of these when I get the time.)

Talking Heads! You can send custom Talking Heads messages to the rest of your group (don’t worry - if you don’t want to receive these, you can disable them in the config menu) to simulate dialog from one of your units!

Ctrl+Left Click the desired unit (a speech bubble will appear on the frame to show which unit is selected). Then use the command ‘/dmsay (message)’ to send a message to your group.

Note: This feature is quite smart as well. It can detect punctuation in your messages and animates the model accordingly if the appropriate animation exists for that model (e.g. if you use a “?”, the model will do the talk_question animation). It also parses this information sequentially so it will do the animation for each instance of punctuation consecutively.

You can also assign a sound to play during your messages with the command ‘/dmsound (soundKitID)’ where soundKitID is one of the vast many sounds found in Blizzard’s SOUNDKIT table. You can use WoWHead’s sound database to locate these ID numbers. For example, ‘/dmsound 409′ will assign the ghoul aggro sound kit.

Whichever kit is assigned will be used for all following messages. ‘/dmsound clear’ will clear the assigned kit.
