how to move the "spell is not ready" red text?

Not just that one particular message but other ones that appear there too, like "you are not facing your target", "target is too faw away", "fizzled" (lifetap haha), etc.

I don't want to remove them I just want to move them :/ what's the best mod that can do this for me?

I'm afraid I can't help you. But I'm in the similar situation, but I want to remove them completely and can't seem to do that either. Am I missing something obvious?

Just download ErrorMonster - that'll suppress all kind of warnings

Edit:
Don't forget to turn off "Error Speech" in the sound options menu.

That won't help him though since he's not looking for a way to remove them but a way to move them away from the middle screen

But there's been so much crap so to say with these error texts. A little time ago I was looking for a way to completely remove the error texts and the sound that followed but found out that that's not possible atm. Best thing is ErrorMonster which can remove the red text in its entirety but there's no mod or anything out that can remove the clonking noises that follows a spamming of a button.

Dno if it's even possible.

I used the following Addon:

FluidFrames - WoWInterface Downloads : FluidFrames

install it, then set a Keybinging. When the Red text appears you then press the keybinding. It should put a blue border around the text, u can then drag it to where u want it, then just press your keybinging again and it will save the location.

Simple way to get the error text is to select a player and try to heal or attack them and it should bring upo the out of range error.

To the OP I have no idea how to move the messages - although it would be nice to be able to.

To the second poster wanting to remove them.

If you have a macro which you want to remove error messages for e.g a /use trinket /cast spell type then you can use the following in the macro to remove the error just for that one.

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

MACRO GOES HERE

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()

Unfortunatley you will still get the sound.

Error Monster has options to output the messages in other frames, like BigWigs, SCT, Parrot etc, effectively allowing to move them where you please. Personally, I have them in my SCT message frame.

You don't need all that. All you need is "/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()" at the end of the macro.

Thanks alot, I tried this and it works great! I am routing the messages through parrot, but I had to manually add several more messages to the errormonster filter, like "fizzled", "This target is out of range", "You are dead", "You cannot do this while stunned" and more (not sure about the correct wording of the given examples). to add messages to the errormonster filter, type /errormonster add XXX, where XXX is the errormessage of course.

The clonking noise is uEscapeScreenOpen.wav, and can be overridden by [wow-dir]/Data/Sound/Interface/uEscapeScreenOpen.wav.

Just put a silent wave sound-file as that, and you will be rid of it (also losing the sound opening the main menu produces).

You might want to be a bit wary, however. I'm not sure how it conforms to the EULA.

"manually add several more messages to the errormonster filter"

I think I've just set it to "berserk" which tells it to "eat all the errors".

Thanks for the info but I think I won't risk it for now and just live with it instead :s

I use Discord Frame Modifier to do that, it may not be the most memory efficient choice or anything, but I like the interface and it works.

Discord mods ported for WoW 2.0

Download DiscordFrameModifier.zip and DiscordLibrary.zip, install them like normal addons.

When in game type in /dfm to open the options. Scroll down the menu on the left side of the window to find "Error Frames" header then look for "UIErrorsFrame" underneath.



Now that you have it selected look towards the right side of the DFM Options window, look for Frame Location and check off Use. You can now arrows under the Frame Location header to 'nudge' the frame in the clicked direction, pressing the button in the middle puts the frame to the middle of the screen. If you want it to go quicker and know what your doing, you can just type in x and y co-ordinates for the frame underneath the arrows, remember to press enter so the numbers you entered are actually used.



Optionally, you can also change the height of the frame (allowing it to show more than just three messages), look at the top right pane of the DFM Options window, and look for Height, click off use to the right side of Height, then move the slider till the desired number of messages appear.



Theres all sorts of options in here I haven't even touched upon, but most you won't need just for moving the UIErrorsFrame.

Edit: For the second poster, using DFM its very simple to hide the frame completely, just check off "Force Hide" after selecting the UIErrorsFrame.

Sorry, recycled screenshot


The one you want is outlined in light blue.

MoveAnything would be the easiest solution from what I've seen.

I've had awful luck with MoveAnything tainting all sorts of things, so be careful with that one.

Going to try FluidFrames tonight and see how it works out. Looks promising.
