Why not just edit the code to reference the font you want to use?

-- text
local text_anchor = "BOTTOMLEFT"
local font = "Fonts\\FRIZQT__.ttf"
local size = 12
local addonlist = 30 -- how much addons should be shown?
local classcolors = true -- true or false
local shadow = true -- true / false
local outline = false -- true / false
local time24 = true -- true: 24h / false: 12h
i also tried changing the path straight to my fonts folder in Windows, but that didn't work.
any thoughts? or am i missing something simple?
put the font in the LynStats folder then change the path to this

local font = "Interface\\AddOns\\LynStats\\fontname.ttf"

Total Profile

Hi

I was wondering if someone have knowledge of a way/addon that can assist me on the following problem.

Before I always struggled when changing between charachters, until I started setting every addon with its own profile, instead of the default one. Problem solved? So I thought until now..

Playing a hybrid in WoTLK I find some of the same problems I had before this but on the same char.
Changing between Boomkin and Feral Tank has totally different demands for my addons and how I set en up..

F.x:
I want my bars in bt4 differently
Needtoknow has to track different buffs and debuffs.. and so on..

So.. Is there any way to have like a total profil of my addons? Like some sort of addon that profiles everything etc?
If not this is going to be troublesome when dualspec comes around?

Any help is greatly appriciated

Miim:
Too Many Addons allows you to set up profiles of addons to load on a character and switch between them in game.

Action Bar Saver 2 allows you to switch your button placement quickly and easily after a respec.


For NeedtoKnow I'd recommend creating another second set of needtoknow bars and setting them directly over your feral timers.

For instance you could have Faerie Fire Feral and Faerie Fire in the same spot because you would never have both up. Also you could place moonfire and lacerate in the same area, etc.


When dual spec comes out the game will remember your bars, glyphs, talents, and have a gear set addition to the 'c'haracter panel. (These were new ui features that I saw on PTR, they could be removed or changed for live.)


Hope this makes sense and helps!

So, I've been using nUI for a bit now and managed to discover that if I want the 25-man raid panel I have to "pay" for it (aka donate money, I don't have a lot of cash - just enough to support my WoW habit). I'm currently looking for a new UI that has a similar look and/or feel to nUI. I'm not a fan of running a ton of addons because I can't stand having a messy 19" screen (memory and cpu speed are of no concern to me b/c I have 4gb corsair xms2 w/dht tech OC'd and an intel q6600). Not only that, but it didn't play very well with Quartz....

What I'm looking for is something that will clear my screen of all the crap and neaten everything up. Also has to play well with my current addons.

Addons currently in my folder:
!Swatter
AtlasLoot
BeanCounter
Bigwigs/DBM (depends on the account, my hubby likes DBM better)
Decursive (when on my mage)
Enchantrix (which I don't use but my hubby does)
EnhTooltip
Gatherer
Healbot (when on my druid)
Informant
MSTB
nUI (want it GONE)
Omen
ora2
Quartz
Quest Helper
Recount
Shared Media
Simple Raid Target Icons (again, hubby - he's the tank)
Slide Bar
Stubby
Titan Panel
Titan Healbot
WIM

I would also like to get rid of any "unneeded" addons (other than AtlasLoot). I had Auctioneer at one point in time but discovered that I didn't use it that much due to my OCD for undercutting ppl on the AH, hehe. I've been looking at Bartender and Dominos but I'd like something that's more of an entire UI replacement instead of just action bars. Any suggestions?

I would recommend looking at compilations listed at sites like WoWInterface, Curse.com or Vranx's excellent website. Because honestly, you are not looking for help with a question this broad: you are looking for someone to hold your hand.

Cheers.

Alexisara:

I read your post and was thinking "There is absolutely no way the nUI author makes people donate/pay to use someone elses mod." So heres the link for nUI grid integration for 25 man raid frames!

If you still ditch nUI (I think its ugly and bloated but to each her own) look at grid on its own anyhow it creates very informative raid frames. Oh, and once you have raid frames you can use Clique and get rid of decursive which I find to be a redundant form of raid frames in its current incarnation.


Oh and I agree with Trevear... go look at vranx's site and some compilations.

I would suggest looking into Fontain, it is simple and effective to use. You can use it to change the whole UI's font, or pick and choose what you wish. Fontain can be found at Curse.com. Or, Vranx shows how to change fonts as well at this link: Vranx UI - Font Mods

Two easy to read fonts that you might want to check out are Expressway Free or Blue Highway D. Both are easy to read and look nice over all.

Okay this might be a bigger favor, then actually help.

But here goes, i simply lack the creativity to make my own good looking UI, and believe me ive tried.
So ive lived off other generosity.

Ive recently bought a new computer & monitor, wich is a 26" screen with a resolution of 1920x1200.
Ive been looking everywhere for a healer UI.

So i was wondering if any of you out there could point me in the direction of one. Or would have the time to build me one
I would be willing to pay a small fee for it.

I play a disc priest and im MT healer.

Im looking for something like this, just in 1920x1200 resolution, so i get some more space. And with Omen in the bottom. So i get a clean screen on top allthough with raid warnings there.

http://static3.filefront.com/images/...jnfnyurrie.jpg

I would be so gratefull if someone could help me out here. And im willing to pay around 20 euro or so.

Best regards

I'm currently looking for mod to help me as raid leader to check if people are assisting properly the person who is set as main assist. The problem wouldn't exist if it was me as main assist couse than i could use xpearl assist box but it cant track whether people assist other person in the raid properly. Thx in advance.

You could use RaidTargetList. The way it could work is such: since it shows all the available targets, and lists how many people are targeting each, no target should have more than 1 consistently unless it is the kill target. It may have 0 because an OT is multi-tanking and doesn't currently have that mob targeted. But if it has more than one and it isn't the proper kill target, you know someone isn't targeting the correct mob. At present I do not believe it shows whom is targeting said mob. But that can be corrected with one of the plethora of tooltip mods (i.e. Cowtip, TinyTip, TipTac, et cetera). I know quite a few have the ability of showing whom is targeting the tooltip'ed mob.

Cheers.

I've seen a lot of people use WWS (wow web stats - Wow Web Stats) for a detailed breakdown of the fight and their DPS as well as other raid members. I'm sort of confused on how to get it working. I downloaded the client and made an account on that website, but i don't understand where the combat log is and how would I upload it. Does the client automatically create one.

I've read the "HELP" on their website but it doesn't give a detailed description on uploading a combat log.
