That looks like SpartanUI. Not sure if the unitframes are separate or a part of the package itself.

I'm looking for a mod that will announce my purges and spells my grounding totem absorbs in the /say channel.

Right now I'm using Afflicted2 which can copy my purge attempts to a local chat window, party char or raid warning but not to the /say channel. I've also tried Shaman's Friend, which only does what Afflicted does.


Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

You can probably edit the ShamanFriend.lua file to allow it to have the option to broadcast to say. I do not have a shaman to test whether or not this works, but you can try it. This section of code starts at line 348 in the current version of ShamanFriend (1.11c) that I downloaded from curse.com.

purgemsg = {
	name = L["Broadcast Purge"],
	type = "text",
	desc = L["Broadcast Purge message to the following chat. (Above option must be enabled)"],
	get = function() return ShamanFriend.db.profile.spell.purgemsg end,
	set = function(v)
		ShamanFriend.db.profile.spell.purgemsg = v
	end,
	disabled = function() return not ShamanFriend.db.profile.spell.purge end,
	validate = {
		["RAID"] = L["Raid"],
		["PARTY"] = L["Party"],
		["RAID_WARNING"] = L["Raid Warning"],
		["SAY"] = L["Say"],
		["none"] = L["None"],
	},
	order = 302,
I simply added the italicized/bolded line there.

Hey all!

I have looked through majority of this discussion, and recall at some point it was mentioned that there was a mod which enables you to stick various mods together. I might be going crazy, but im quite certain it was said. I have tried to search, with no luck.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a mod that allows you to stick/attach/combine mods together (for example an eePanels2 panel to a TrinityBar Action Bar so you can move both together, or a Chatter box to an eePanel)

If you're able to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't heard of anything like this but it would be an awesome mod.

Something that can display an icon on your screen somewhere if certain conditions are met. As a Fury Warrior examples would be if I had a certain weapon equipped or if I didn't have a certain buff (Execute weapons and Salv would be what I would use it for). Basically a mod that acts as a visual reminder for things you may forget or not notice.

Does anything like this exist? I don't have any experience making add-ons but might try my hand at this if there isn't anything already out there.

Not so much wanting to find a new mod, but i want help making a couple of mods i have cooperate with each other; when i switch sets in itemrack, i want bongos3 to switch my main bar (it's a real pain to have to manually move buttons every time i change roles). I'm also somewhat struggling to understand how the paging system in bongos3 works...

Is there any way this can happen? Or do i need to let go of my old beloved itemrack for something updated, or what?

Hi I have some questions I couldn’t find acceptable answers to in throughout the posts.

1. Is there a way (addon or otherwise) to easily add and change textures and fonts in pittbull, omen, trinity bars etz. I was hoping for a mod that shows me in game a list of different available textures and fonts for easy modeling of my UI.
I am changing my UI a lot, and its very hard to update all the textures and styles all the time. Certainly now I started using Pittbull instead of my older tools.

2. I was also looking for a way to change the colors and textures of pittbull according to in game situations. I have seen many UI with nice solid colored bars (and not the strange highlight that is default in WoW). Also the colors fade to different colors/filling% (for instance when going low HP). I have found it for HP but I would like to use the grading for almost everything. Is this something in pittbull or because of another addon ?

I don’t know if it is a MOD question or a pittbull user questions. I am sorry if I posted it wrong.

Thank you

Edit, i had two other small questions.


Can some one tell me what mod lets you make cool timer like this one?
and



Lets you change style, layout and location of buffs in this way (not surounded in unit frame like pitbull)

1: SharedMedia, from WoWAce, plugs into most Ace addons, including Pitbull, EBB, etc. and includes a bunch of textures.
2: I'm pretty sure Pitbull doesn't support dynamic changing of textures. Ever since 2.0, it's difficult (probably impossible) to substantially change unit frames during combat, which is when I'm assuming you're interested in the dynamism.

The first picture can be done entirely by a mod called StatBlocks, though it's possible that the first 3 lines are instead handled by either CML or SLTimex, given the difference in font.

The second picture is almost certainly Satrina's Buff Frames, though it could be Buffalo2.

Buffalo, not Buffalo2, with CyCircled_Vol as skin.
Both are ACE addons, remember you need to download both CyCircled and CyCircled_Vol.

Not a direct answer, BUT I can inform you that you can only switch bars out of combat.

When you figure out how to use Bongos3's page system (it's not that hard, mess a bit about with it, and you'll figure it out -- I can't explain how to do it myself), you can use following method to do change the action bar:

API ChangeActionBarPage - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

You either need a addon alllowing you to execute a macro on gear switch, or hardcode it in the LUA.
Both the macro and LUA version are described on wowwiki.

ButtonFacade seems to have taken over what Cycircled usually does, to "skin" our bars.

that small page had the command i was looking for (combine that script with a script to change itemrack sets in a macro), thanks. A small followup question, if i'm looking to ease up on the annoyance factor as much as i can, is there any way to keep macros containing certain spells on my bar permanently, regardless of if i know that spell at the time? I'm referring to the many, many times i respec and lose certain talented spells (repentance for example) - the macro remains in my macro folder obviously, but it comes off my bars.. it is somewhat irritating.

Arikah, bind the spell directly with the bindkey command (look in the wiki for the syntax) or enter the bind manually in your bindings cache file in the WTF folder. It won't go on the bars but will remain bound despite respecs.

Another way would be to make a false call to an existing spell in the macro. Something like [noexist,dead,harm]Flash of Light, that would always return false but the macro would still be on the bar because the spell exists.

Hey,

I'm looking for the name of the spelltimer that Ryas uses. It's placed at the target frame.
If anyone can tell me the name or how i can move it it would be much apriciated.

No

Limitation in Blizzard's UI system sadly. I use screenshots to remember where I had my buttons before and after respec's.

I haven't tested it but my guess would be that this addon should solve the problem. Action Bar Saver 2

We could be more helpful if you can provide a screenshot of the said "spelltimer".

Here's an easy one; what's the mod that puts the border around the buff icons in this pic?



Note: this is using Buffalo, if it is something built in to Buffalo's options.

And speaking of Buffalo, is there a huge difference between Buffalo and Buffalo2?
