ControlFreak, I believe. The row of color dots below that is ChatBar as well, unless I'm mistaken.

Xperl sub mod called Grim Reaper

TankName : HH:MM:SS.xxx : Parries target.
TankName : HH:MM:SS.xxx : Hit for xxxx
TankName : HH:MM:SS.xxx : Crushed for xxxx
TankName : HH:MM:SS.xxx : Dies
There is an xperl mod called Grim Reaper. That's probably what you were using. Hope this helps!

I am looking for two mods:

1) A mod that displays which people are targeting you, and/or which people are targeting your target.

2) A mod that tracks downtime on raids (time spent out of combat).

I have seen both referenced on the forums, but been unable to find the correct search terms to locate them

There's an ace mod that shows what addons you have running and the memory being used by each of them. I've tried searching this thread but I can't find it, does anyone remember or have a link to it?
Thanks.

There's a FuBar plugin that does this -- PerformanceFu -- but beyond that I've no clue.

Hi I'm just looking for a general small list of mods SIMILAR to auto-bar in the same way
Except looking a bit nicer :P
For those that AREN'T familiar with autobar, its just a mod that takes commonly used items such as conjured items, consumables (pots, bandages, etc.), hearthstone, etc. and puts it on this mini bar and u can place this wherever you'd like.
I guess the main thing about Autobar that I don't really like is that it doesn't seem to match my UI taste and I guess I'm a bit picky :P
Thanks in advance!

Try grabbing cyCircled and all the skins you can find for it (similar names: cyCircled_VolM, etc). The autobar will be skinnable by that. If that's not good enough, you may be able to customize it further in the way that some of the UI heavyweights around here have done: editing the lua to add your own textures.

If it has to do with altering tooltips, then it's probably TinyTip or CowTip.

This was almost funny. So close that I'll answer your question as if your query was serious:

Those are the default blizzard unit frames.

No apparent modifications from what I watched. I skimmed through the whole film (quickly) to look for unit frames that might actually raise a question such as "what mod is that?"

Nothing out of the ordinary ever appeared on that UI at all. That's stock blizzard UI.

Figures, the one time I decide to be super nice and watch the video, and it's this one.

Next time: take a screenshot? Spend some of your time to sorta "earn" the answers you're looking for?

Le Sigh.

x-perl unit frames. Ugly and bloated. Enjoy

There are some mods now which will report afk people in AV. I've heard people talk about them in /bg chat. Are these mods any good? Which one is the best?

I like how in the screenshot above, the mage has changed the font of the "+1888 fireball" that happens to other people. I know I'm a complete noob for asking this, but how do you change that font/size? I am using the SCT (Scrolling Combat Text) mod, but as far as I can tell, that can only change the font of things SCT writes in its frames.

The Blizzard UI, even in the advanced tab, does not appear to let you change that font/size, only toggle whether other damage/healing is displayed.

I'd actually like to know the name of the mod that does that, that's used above.

He uses SCT-Damage to redirect Blizz's combat text through SCT. I think it will no longer display damage above the mob's head, unless you are close enough for the mobs health bar to be visible. If you are too far away it will simply channel the damage text though one of SCTs predefined frames.

EDIT: I would be inclined to look into MikScrollingBattleText instead of SCT however.

I'm looking for a mod that changes my own debuffs on my target to be a lot bigger than the rest. Saw it for the first time in this video (you might want to fast forward to the 1:30-mark). Here's a sloppy screenshot of it (please excuse the bad quality, just took it from the Filefront-stream...):

ImageShack - Hosting :: wowdebuffcf1.jpg

Is something like this possible without new unitframes? I'm actually quite content with my more or less classic and clean UI but would really love to have this feature.

X-Perl will do that out of the box. Some don't like X-Perl though, I'm not sure if other unit frames are capable of doing it (no doubt some are...)

Sorry for this, but it's another "does this mod exist?" post. I've been wondering this for a while, and, having wasted about 2 hours of my life browsing this thread and downloading mods (my WoW install's going to hate me tomorrow when I run it for the first time having installed all those new mods... :P) I figured I may as well go ahead and ask, and see if any of you know!

Basically, what I'm after is a mod which firstly looks at the total health of your current target, and then checks the raid/party DPS, and puts a bar or timer up of the time in which it thinks you'll take the target down. This is mostly for bosses with enrage, or Gruul with his growths, as, although it'll only be approximate because of the increased DPS later on in the fight (at <20% hp), it'll be easier to check that than to try and do some rough mental maths while concentrating on the raid. A bar would probably be better, just so it's easily comparable with the enrage timers from DBM, but a normal timer countdown with the ability to add a ten minute timer to the mod when you engage or something so that you could compare easily that way would be good too.

I haven't heard of this before, but it shouldn't be hard to link up something between MobHealth and any dps meter which shows the overall raid DPS for this sort of thing. Any skilled mod author should be able to crank this out fairly quickly. Perhaps it would make a good FuBar plugin?

That's pretty much what I thought. Unfortunately the extent of my programming knowledge is...uhm...fortran, which I have to do for Uni, and I don't have the time to start figuring out Lua script!
