DragonRider

This project aims to bring more information to help maximize skyriding charge usage and speed without being burdensome and still matching the general game style.

Currently this addon includes:

• Speedometer Bar
  • Speed tracking for Skyriding and D.R.I.V.E.
  • Unit options like yds/s, mph, m/s, km/h, %, or none
  • Dynamic color based on speed thresholds
  • Thematic options
• Skyriding Charge "Vigor" tracking
  • Visual charge display for the 6 skyriding charges, previously known as "Vigor" before 11.2.7
  • Customizable layout
  • Optional 3d model effects
  • Thematic options
• Skyriding Race score journal accessible with /dragonrider (for other languages see below)
  • Skyriding Race World Quest tracker
  • Multiplayer Dragonriding Race tracker (Dragon Isles only)
  • Map pins for each race location

Some of the planned features:

• Cooldown timers for each major spell (Whirling Surge / Lightning Rush, Flap, Bronze Timelock, Second Wind)

Other addons can additionally add in their own custom Vigor / Speedometer themes for their users to use with the RegisterVigorTheme API. A full example is listed below:

        All texture paths must be relative to WoW's root directory
        Atlas names refer to Blizzard's built-in texture atlas system
        Use either Atlas OR Texture for each element, not both
        Desaturation converts textures to grayscale while preserving alpha
        Color tinting is handled by DragonRider's color picker settings
        TexCoords format: {left, right, top, bottom} in 0-1 range
        Multipliers (like TickHeightMult) scale relative to bar dimensions
        Setting any Atlas/Texture to nil will hide that element
        For minimalist themes, use "Interface\\buttons\\white8x8" as a solid color base
