CompactComboBar (Fan) Help

I have been using the CompactComboBar (Fan update) for a good while now. Latest update was from Noctornus back in 2006 tho, so its almost 2 years without any new stuff.. And that is no problem.. updating ToC manually is no problem, and it has so far worked very well..

So well that i have become rather used to having it.. hehe..

So.. with the upcoming 3.0 patch and WotlK some changes will happen with the way energy is updated.. and this is where i am stranded.

So far, i have made a couple of minor changes to get it to update combopoints correctly.. ie updating the PLAYER_COMBO_POINTS to UNIT_COMBO_POINTS and a few places changing GetComboPoints() to GetComboPoints("player"), and that is working..

However, i am rather clueless to where to start when it comes to get it to do the new continous energy/mana update that is coming in 3.0. It still updates in chunks every 2 second as the old method.

Now.. i have seen mods like x-perl do this on their targetstarget box, and on the player box ofc.. but on the target box, and the original blizzard ui target box it is still somehow bound to the old "tick" method of updating. (If you target yourself while regenerating mana you can see your "self" box updating continously, but the targetbox is still doing the old tick update)

My question is this : Is this impossible? Or is there some way of modifying this code to get the updates in a fluid manner like it does on the self box?

Any thoughts and ideas would be much appreciated :)
