Like Scrye on page 70, I am having a problem with "vanishing" kgPanels.

I want to parent a frame to Recount and I have an identical frame on the opposite corner of my UI which has been successfully parented to Omen (only appears when Omen is active). But as soon as I change the parent of the Recount panel from UIParent to the name of the Recount frame, it totally disappears, leaving Recount sitting on nothing. Changing the location of the panel manually in the config for that panel does not make it reappear even if it ought to be in the middle of the screen. I have looked in the kgPanels thread on wowace and can't see anything about this, although I found that Scrye's issue was that he wasn't using the correct capitalisation in the panel name. I'm certain this isn't my problem, even though I am not at my home computer right now.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could do? I don't really know much more than the basics about parenting/anchoring.

When I get home I will try to find a script that might do the same thing although I shouldn't need one

Edit: I found that locking the frame before parenting it worked. Maybe this might help anyone else who encounters this.

This should be simple but I can't seem to find the setting. When dots expire DoTimer will display the expired dot for a second before it disappears. I would like to lengthen the time expired dots are displayed. Thanks for any help.

I think this is the "Ghost Timer" setting, try increasing the duration of that.

Thank you so much, that did it.

I've searched through the forum, but still cannot come up with a really simple kgPanels answer. I am redo-ing my whole UI and I want to know first, what addons do I need to install? I have found a skin that suits my taste well, but it doesnt even seem like kgPanels is in my game at all, though it is in the Addons folder. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I am entirely new on this addon and am really lost at the moment.

Trionn, when you are in game try typing /kgpanels config. If nothing happens or if you get an error message saying the command is not valid (or something) it's possible you need a separate mod called kgPanels Config (as far as I can remember).

(Kagaro says on his wowace page/Curse that this was merged into the main kgPanels mod, but when I uninstalled the Config mod thinking it was obsolete I could no longer bring up the config panel, even with the newest version. By the way, I got both mods from wowmatrix so I know you can get the Config module from there.)

Hope that solves your problem, and have fun with the mod!

Is there a way to write and edit macros without logging on to the game?

Trevear · 02/13/09, 12:03 AM

You can by editing the macro-cache.txt file(s). They are located in the WTF folder and there is the general one and ones associated specifically with your individual characters.

Cheers.

Is there a way to change the location of where /rw is displayed? I would really like to move the location of /rw closer to the middle of the screen.

Yup, you can use TenOut addon. It's quite new and still in development, but works perfectly.

However, there's been a minor complication... now that I've popped the berserking enchant on my staff, it picks up when that one procs as well, which I'm not exactly interested in. Any way to separate those?

Try TellMeWhen, it has an option for weapon procs that you can name to track, similar to NTK.

Does anyone know how to create the black outline texture around the unitframes in this screenshot?

Silly_Syra · 02/17/09, 3:18 PM

That user added black .bmp files that you can find here. As per his/her post this is the actual ui that frostica got the graphics from.

You will need to add the files in the download for Interface/AddOns/oUF_neav, Interface/AddOns/oUF and "Interface/TargettingFrame". There may be more needed files but I think these 3 should do it. If you use the default blizzard unit frames already just adding the 3rd file should work but I haven't tested this myself.

Pm me if you want me to point you at which files supply matching buttons, tooltip, etc. The author may be willing to do this if you post on their ui's comment page as well.

Am I correct that the following are true about non-player units?

- They can only be referenced if someone is targeting them, ala "raid10target"? And therefore, if no one is targeting them, you don't have any way to reference them?

- UnitGUIDs are useless other than for comparing against other UnitGUIDs to check uniqueness? That is, you can't actually reference a unit by GUID, right?

I remember an addon called Yatba.

It says:

Yatba stands for "Yet Another Timer Bar Addon". It is an aura (i.e. buff/debuff) tracker.

It relies on both unit aura information and combat log events to accurately track all those buffs and debuffs you put on your friends and foes. Being GUID-based, it handles efficiently several mobs with the same name.

Notice: Yatba may have some trouble catching new auras and health changes with untargeted units, i.e. units that are neither in your group nor the target of a member of you group. Hovering such unit with the mouse is sufficient to update its data.

This might be of some help, regarding your questions.
