Any idea what unit frames are used in this video? YouTube - Raven addon Deathknight Blood rotations 4.0
I like the way the cast bar overlaps the target's hp bar (I assume it's from the addon itself but I have no way to tell)

That looks like a lightly customized Shadowed Unit Frames. Simply enable cast bars, and set to only show when casting.

I'm trying to get the guild log (leaves, promotions, etc.) from ingame. Up to now I am unsuccessful in my attempts.
I tried GuildRosterDump but that gives only the gildroster and CopyThat! which requires the name of the frame the information is displayed in.
Does somebody know an addon to copy the guild log or knows the name of the guild log frame?

You should be able to get the name of the frame by typing /framestack and then hovering your pointer over the guild log frame.

My frost mage would like to see clearly when the pet freeze CD is gone. Is there a way to set up Power Auras in a way that you can actually see when Pet Freeze is available?

Heyas,

I'm really interested in using a new font for the numbers/messages that pop up in combat. I've downloaded xDamageFont and its running great but the font I've chosen is almost microscopic.

Is there a way to increase combat text size, either through the blizzard menu or using this addon? if not, is there a better combat text mod that you can recommend?

thanks!

@Gregor: I looked at the code for xDamageFont and it does not do much. I just substitutes the font used for DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT to the TrueTypeFont (.ttf) named and store in xDamageFont. I don't know enough about Blizzard's API to say if there is a function call to modify the CombatText font size.

I personally use MikScrollingBattleText but it may be more than you need if you are trying to stay minimalistic.

Cheers.

This might be what you're looking for if all you want is simple combat text with a few display options:
xCT : Combat Mods : WoWInterface Downloads

I'm using an add-on I really like. Its called BuffWatcher and it does the following:

Tells me when certain buffs or buff-categories are missing (Righteous Fury, Aura, etc)
Tells me when certain buffs are running out (Inquisition, Holy Shield, Seals, etc)

I'm looking for essentially the same thing but better. BuffWatcher doesn't let me customize the timing on when it should warn me that certain buffs are running out on a per-buff basis. It also isn't very pretty and there aren't many options to customize its appearance. Is there a competing add-on I can try?

Um hi guys, i dont suppose this is really the right place since it isnt a UI issue, but i dont know where else i can go with it since the wow forums are down.

Basically if anybody has any idea why im seeing this everywhere

I would be massivly appreciative! Im running a x2 4870, the drivers up to date, re-rolling didnt solve the issue either. Ive tried enabling/disabling all the graphics options, the only option that changes what i see, is ground clutter. But it just changes how it looks as opposed to fixing the problem. Ive tried disabling all my addon's and the problem isnt effected.

This started with the pre cata patch.

Any ideas?

Looks to me like your card might be overheating. You should check if it runs normal tempratures, if not try to cranck up the speed of your fan in the catalyst program (you can also see the temp here) manually. If that doesn't help, you might wanna check if your fan isn't full of dust. If none of the previous help and your card is still overheating you might want to replace the cooler.
Hope this helps, I too have had simular problems with an overheating card.

I had been using squeenix to modify the minimap, but recently switched to Wanderlust. My problem now is that with only wanderlust enabled, the map moves to the top left corner, even though wanderlust says nothing about changing position. if i leave squeenix enabled, I can unlock the minimap and put it back at the top right, but everytime i login, I must toggle the "lock minimap" option in squeenix to have it snap back to my preferred position. I'm not sure whats going on. Moveanything has no effect on the location with only wanderlust enabled. Any ideas?

Stalkstor · 12/15/10, 12:02 PM

Thanks a lot for the reply Saito^, however i dont think overheating is the issue. It is on a stock cooler and sits idle at about 81c, but this has been the case since having it from new. However forcing the fan speed to 90% brings it down to 55c, then running wow it still looks the same. Really appreciate the suggestion though, i havent even bothred leveling up because all i see is pink messes.

I dont have this issue in towns, i can run around on my ah shark without any graphical issues.

Stalkstor, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Something inside your WoW installation might have become corrupt, so the game is loading what it thinks the ground is supposed to look like.

Stalkstor · 12/18/10, 2:14 AM

Tried it, to no avail
