Does anyone know of a mod that would record your mailbox log and allow it to be saved to lua and brought backto a chat window or barring that, exported to a txt/html file?

Cant find one and search button doesnt seem to like my inquiries.

I would appreciate the help.

I`m looking for an addon that will remember the position of my chat tabs because right now at every login the Combat Log is right next to General.

Akuman · 05/02/09, 10:00 PM

Gogusrl, try setting the position of your combat log through the layout-local.txt

It can be found in your WoW folder.

ex: Warcraft\WTF\Account\Account Name\Character's Server

That should hopefully solve the problem of your moving combat log.

As for my question regarding UI's.

I tried asking this in the KgPanels thread twice, however I did not get a response.

I have a question regarding the capabilities of KgPanels.

I was wondering if it would be possible for me to have a frame that hides when I am in range of my target by 40 yards (or the range of my frostfire bolt).

I have bartender, so perhaps associating it with a button in an actionbar would make the task seem easier.

Example

if bartender.actionbar1.button1 = OutOfRange
then show
else hide

or

if bartender.actionbar1.button1.colour = #FF0000
then show
else hide

I'm not asking for a whole piece of code that would do that (that would be imposing too much), but simply a finger in the right direction because I've been unable to find anything of the sort.

In the OnUpdate function, you'll want something like this:

if( UnitExists("target") == 1) then
if( IsSpellInRange("Frostbolt", "target") == 1) then
Show()
else
Hide()
end

I have been searching on how to make Pitbull Target frames drain vertically instead of horizontally and have came up empty. Any assistance on this would be much appreciated.

Caksie · 05/06/09, 7:12 PM

I'm looking for something to tidy up my chat logs and maybe allow me to separate things like guild chat from the trade channels etc. I tried minichat but it only let's me minimize it, what I want is to make the actual chat frame smaller. Also I'm looking to get something for my party unitframes a little cleaner and more efficient and get them out of the Default portraits.
Any help greatly appreciated.

1) Prat 3.0 - Addons - Curse

2) There's a myriad of difference Unit Frames. Feel free to check out X-Perl, Pitbull, AG_UF or Stuf.

I play a resto druid and am trying to set up Power Aura so that it notifies me when Wild Growth and Swiftmend are off CD. This is a ss of my UI, with what I'm attempting to achieve.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3.../poweraura.jpg

The bars around my character are the indicators - the problem is with Swiftmend. As you can see from the screenie, I have to target a character with the hot running in order for the indicator to operate. All I want to know is when SM is off CD. I don't need to know (through Power Aura anyway) whether any given person is Swiftmendable and obviously I don't want to have to target anyone and cast a hot on them in order to discover whether SM is up.

Does anyone know a way of setting up Power Aura so that the indicator will be present just when SM is off CD (and without having to target someone?)

Hello.

Anyone using MSBT (Mik's Scrolling Text) knows if there is a way to prevent the buffs/aura spam?
I do like the addon, and its necessary to show the buff gains, but with some buffs like Abomination Might, Unleashed Rage, Rampage, etc.. the spam drives me crazy.
Maybe there is a option to disable some buff gains, or buff refresh, but i couldn't find it.

Hope someone could help.
Thank you.

Goto power auras -> set up a new effect -> Set activation by: to Action Usable and for the Name field type Wild Growth or Swiftmend.

One thing I noticed about this is that you might have to have Wild Growth and Swiftmend visible on your action bars or it will not function properly.

Thanks for your reply. I've got Wild Growth working fine - the problem is with Swiftmend. The addon seems to require me to target a person who is "Swiftmendable", ie has either Rejuvenation or Regrowth ticking on them, in order for an indicator showing that Swiftmend is off CD to appear. My question is whether it's possible to set up Power Aura in a way that does not require me to do this. All I want to know is whether SM is off CD, I don't want to have to target someone to know that.

I actually just found an answer to my question on the Blizzard forums, I can confirm that it works and thought I'd post it in case it's useful to anyone else.

1. Open up PowerAuras.lua in <wow directory>\Interface\AddOns\PowerAuras\ using notepad or any other text editor.

2. Scroll down until you find a line that looks like

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
--- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Just above that line copy/paste in the following

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
function Powa_IsUsableAction(s)
local isUsable, _;
local tex = GetActionTexture(s);
if tex == "Interface\\Icons\\INV_Relics_IdolofRejuvenation" then
isUsable = 1;
else
isUsable, _ = IsUsableAction(s);
end
return isUsable;
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Find the line that says

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
local isUsable, _ = IsUsableAction(PowaSet[xnum].opt1);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Delete that line and replace it with

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
local isUsable = Powa_IsUsableAction(PowaSet[xnum].opt1);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Save it. Close it. Then restart WoW.

Now swiftmend should work when you put it in with the "Action Usable" option, without needing to target someone with a rejuv/regrowth on them. This works by bypassing the check to see if the spell is usable as long as on your bar, the spell/macro that casts swiftmend has the icon for swiftmend (or the ? icon in the case of a macro). This could potentially cause issues if for some reason you were to use the swiftmend icon on a macro for another spell but I don't see why you'd do that.

I am looking for some advice for my UI. My computer is pretty terrible and upgrading it isn't really an option so I'm looking for some light-weight mods to use for my interface. This is what I have so far.

In combat, Omen appears in the bottom right in between the other chat window and Grid. Mainly I'd like to make my map, buffs, unit frames, and action bars a bit more "neat" and organized and easier to see during hectic fights. Most of the mods I've tried though seem to weigh down my FPS quite a bit in raids. If anyone has any suggestions on good light-weight mods to use or replace existing mods with, please contact me via PM. Advice on how to best make use of the space I have (1280x800 resolution wide screen) is good too.

I'm not too advanced with Power Auras (Classic) and after searching reading about tons of Shaman settings I couldn't find anything on Earth Shield. A few months ago before I redid my UI I had a setting for Water Shield (Blue - Bottom) and Earth Shield (Green - Top). It showed up anytime I cast Earth Shield on someone, whether it be in IF or in a raid or in a BG.

Here are my current settings (The Green / ES Aura doesn't show):

Currently cannot get the Green/ES Aura to show up. I can get the Aura to show for Targeted Player and for Focus but not for raid members or party members.

Hey all ^^
I've been configuring my UI for a long time and I think I'm finished. Yet I feel as if there are somethings missing.
This is how it is at the moment :

Any tips on how to make it "Cooler"?

Thanks
