Party Frames (oUF SpawnHeader)

[danvernon]

Summary

• Configurable party frames built on oUF SpawnHeader with existing component builders
• Health, absorb, power bars, role icons, auras with dispel highlights, range fading, threat, ready check, leader/assist indicators
• Configurable growth direction (vertical/horizontal), sort order (role/group/alphabetical), spacing, and player inclusion
• Unlock Mode drag support for the party header anchor
• CDM integration (native frames checked first in FindPlayerPartyFrame)
• Blizzard default party frames suppressed when enabled
• Architecture designed for future raid frame extension

Files Changed

• EllesmereUIUnitFrames/EllesmereUIPartyFrames.lua — NEW (~480 lines)
• EllesmereUIUnitFrames/EllesmereUIUnitFrames.lua — defaults, mappings, ns exports, spawn call, Unlock Mode
• EllesmereUIUnitFrames/EllesmereUIUnitFrames.toc — load order
• EllesmereUI.lua — CDM source priority

Test plan

• Join a party — frames appear with vertical growth, role-sorted
• Health/power bars update for party members
• Role icons display correctly (tank/healer/dps)
• Range fading dims out-of-range members
• Unlock Mode — party header is draggable
• Blizzard party frames are hidden
• Leave party — frames disappear
• Toggle enabledFrames.party = false — frames suppressed
• /partytest — shows frames while solo for testing

Phase 2+ (not in this PR)

• Options panel UI
• Castbar on party members
• Portrait toggle
• Combat-queued layout updates

Debug commands — paste these in-game:

/run local f = EllesmereUIPartyTest; if f then print("exists", "shown:", f:IsShown(), "w:", f:GetWidth(), "h:", f:GetHeight(), "alpha:", f:GetAlpha()) else print("frame nil") end

/run local f = EllesmereUIPartyTest; if f then local p,_,r,x,y = f:GetPoint(); print("pos:", p, r, x, y) end

/run local f = EllesmereUIPartyTest; if f then f:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 0); f:SetSize(160, 40); f:SetAlpha(1); f:Show(); print("forced visible at center") end

Status: Party frames are working!

The frame is rendering correctly — health bar, name text, portrait, power bar all visible.

Issues from the screenshots:

1. Party Frames mover is at -666, -2 — it got dragged off-screen left. Fix: enter Unlock Mode (/unlock), find the "Party Frames" mover and drag it where you want, then exit Unlock Mode. Or reset position:

/run EllesmereUIUnitFramesDB.profiles.Default.positions.party = { point = "TOPLEFT", x = 20, y = -200 }; ReloadUI()

2. Portrait showing despite default off — the showPortrait = false default is correct but the global portraitStyle is not "none", so the check settings.showPortrait ~= false evaluates to false which should hide it. If portrait is still showing, run:

/run EllesmereUIUnitFramesDB.profiles.Default.party.showPortrait = false; ReloadUI()

3. To test properly after fixing position:

• /partytest to toggle the preview frame on/off
• Or invite someone to a party to see the real header frames

4. The duplicate frame on the right was from the forced-center debug command — /partytest to toggle off, then /partytest again for a clean test.

Debug: check if position is saving correctly

After dragging party frames in Unlock Mode and exiting, run:

/run local p = EllesmereUIUnitFramesDB.profiles.Default.positions.party; if p then print("Saved pos:", p.point, p.relPoint, p.x, p.y) else print("No saved position") end

Then /reload and run the same command again to see if it persists.

Also try this to force a known-good position:

/run EllesmereUIUnitFramesDB.profiles.Default.positions.party = { point = "LEFT", relPoint = "LEFT", x = 20, y = 0 }; ReloadUI()
