[need help] modifying oUF unit frames and its addons

[JackBurton]

I'm trying to emulate the spell floating text floating off to the left from the unit frames. The Video can be seen here.

Mirai is using OUF and OuF_Fail i believe

been chasing MiRai's forum activity kinda hinted he was working on stuff around bobui

Is MiRai using xCT to show this spell floating text next to each party member's

How do i add self to the group of party frames? The oUF_Fail default doesn't add the player to the group frames.
Also MiRai's Party frames are stretched out longer horizontal than stock settings

Can anyone show me a good website to learn up on LUA?
I remember using UltraEdit a long long time ago.
