Check Bongos2. It has an optional castbar.

Does anyone know of a mod that would help cycle hidden frames? I'm currently using dash to hide a bunch of frames but I'd like to have a single panel on my screen that I could swap the contents (via hide/unhide) with grid / recount / minimap /shadowseer.

I have my UI pretty much exactly as I want it so now I'm starting to pick at getting all the little things in line. I lose 10 games a week in arena for free stam gear and since I've start using Proximo it's dropped to about 8 losses a week

Basically I want to put an eePanel around it but can't find the frame name to put as parent. I use WhatsMyCow to get the names of frames and it'll give me names for the individual player bars inside Proximo but not the outside background, anyone know from experience what this frame is called or have any suggestions for how to get the name of this frame?

Where did you get your version of WhatsMyCow? The only time I tried it, I couldn't get it to do _anything_ whatsoever. Are there any other options for gathering frame names?

Mouse over the frame you want the name of and type the following:

/echo GetMouseFocus():GetName()

2.3.2 changed the mini map to display the entire raid instead of just party. I am asking for assistance to help disable this change, does anyone know a way? As a shaman I often need to be aware specifically of group range for totems.

The UI does have party very slightly different colour from raid, but it is very annoying and I cannot see party range at a glance like I used to.

Hi

Does anyone know a cooldown counter for internal cooldowns.
For example if you have quagmirran's eye. which has a 45 sec internal cooldown. but when it procs it only last for 6 seconds.
see if there was an Add-on for that i could proc a trinket/IV/Combustion all before that time making that oneof the best 6 seconds to max out dps.

If there was such an add-on i would appriciate it alot if someone linked the download site to me.

PT3Browser is no longer showing all the appropriate PT sets. Just Tradeskill, consumables, Manufac, and PT3bar's custom sets.

Is the program borked in some way?

I understand why you would use an addon like that, but I doubt something like that would exist, and I'd closely check the terms before trying to develop that.

Maybe my 4 hours of sleep in the past 48 have made be paranoid. I don't know.
I'm just fairly certain nothing like that exists as of now, at the very least.
Eep. Well I can certainly see how that could be used in botting although that wasn't my intention. Ok, so no help there but I have a new request.

I have a few 70s now and unfortunately I'm running out of macro slots and was wondering if there are any current mods in development that increase the number of macros you can have or that could swap between different sets of macros for different characters. MegaMacro | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com would be perfect but it hasn't been updated in quite some time. Is there a similar mod available?

Things similar to this already exist, such as the boss whisper mod in Deadly Boss Mods, or anything with a custom "answering machine" message, as well as mods like CraftList, EnchantList, etc. The only real challenge is finding out how to direct the response to another character instead of just responding to whoever sent you the original message. That may be a problem, and as was mentioned previously, this could be considered terms breaking since it is a technique that has been used for botting in games in the past.

I'm using CT_Buffmod because of its incredibly small screen footprint you can get with the right options. After 2.3.0, my regular default Blizzard buffs showed back up in the upper-right corner, and I still have my CT_Buffmod frame. Is there a mod or console command to just hide the default buffs without doing something clever, like getting a second buffmod that does hide Blizzard's default and just hiding the window?

I've never done this before with internal cooldowns, but I think that you might be able to use the Prominence module from DoTimer. It can catch certain buffs and show arbitrary timers, so you should be able to use the buff name as a trigger for the internal cooldown timer. Here's a link to the complete DoTimer suite.

What do all of your macros do? You might be able to combine some with SlashLib: WoWInterface Downloads : SlashLib

Barring that, my old favorite from long ago was SuperMacro, but it hasn't been updated in months. I know it was made compatible for 2.0, but that's the last update I recall.

I'm trying to move all of my Ace addons to load without externals, but I'm daunted by the number of Libraries that show up missing once I do. Is there any easy way to find out, out of game, which libraries I'm missing? I tried redirecting a /ace list libs to the chat log, but it won't go.

Or am I missing an easy 'Download all externals' option in WAU?

A long winded version of "yes" but figure it's a helpful tip in general maybe...

Periodically I like to clean up to make sure I'm not using outdated libraries or have a bunch of old outdated chafe in my addon folders (like old unused textures, changelog text files, etc).

What I do is just make another folder to dump stuff into, then go into the wow addons folder and move out all the libs or stuff I didn't think I needed (babble, etc).

The in WAU, make sure "Automatic Dependency Download" is toggled on under preferences, select all your installed mods and "Reinstall All Addons". It'll delete each addon and reinstall with the proper dependencies.

Once I know everything is working and I didn't accidentally delete a non-ace mod that I actually wanted to keep, I kill the temp folder.

I'm looking for a Bar addon that'll let me "click-through" the buttons. I never click the buttons anyway (got them all keybound), so I might aswell be able to click the environment.

I'm currently using Bartender3 and haven't found the option there.

How do you intend to load the buttons with actions if the bar is not mouse interactable?
Do you need to display the buttons afterwards as a visual reference for keybindings/cooldowns?

You can use Spellbinder to bind actions (including macros/items) directly to keybinds, if you don't need to see the buttons on screen.

First star to the right, and straight on till morning.

Try Twobox Toolkit:
WoWInterface Downloads : TwoBox Toolkit

It'll pass the whispers from one char to another.

Just use cautiously and wisely.

For those of you that use it, what do you guys put in the transparent box at the bottom of your screen? I usually have my compass, chat box, skills, and DPS chart, but I still have some empty space that I don't know what to fill with since my monitor is fairly large. Any ideas?

If it's coded within the bounds of their implementation of lua, and its not a faction translation mod, it's allowed. How a mod author might describe the practice of multi-boxing, or a specific element of it (in this case the "slave"/second/whatever character of the user) is irrelevant. If they were going to act on someone's account regarding the mod, they would at least make an announcement regarding those type of addons - just the same as the cross-faction comm. addons mentioned already.

Not that I'm a fan of multi-boxing or whatever, but it's kind of silly to think that blizzard's GMs are cross-referencing mods you use with results churned up from a curse.com search for "bot".

It could be toggle-able, so you place your spells on the bar and turn 'click-thru' on.

As you say, the buttons are only there so I am able to check cooldowns. I've tried CD bar addons, but it just doesn't work for me.

I already use Spellbinder and <3 it

Yeah, I know. I just wonder, every time they find something that they think affects the "fairness" of gameplay too much, they remove it, and someone finds a way around it. Such is the evolving MMO.
Botting is not allowed, but "slaved" multiboxing is? Where do they draw the line?
Maybe I'm just too cynical for my own good. Heh.

It's not really "slaved multiboxing", I had a look at the addon for curiosities sake and there is no way to cast anything, take any action against hostile or friendly targets, it simply allows the forwarding of whispers, a command to make the "bot" follow a particular character, auto accept invites and auto accept quests. Being able to use abilities on one character from another would be against the rules I'd imagine, if not it certainly should be.

Earlier I had my unit frames colored according to class and now majority of them turn out like this, red. Also, the thin black border on my target doesn't complete at the top like the player frame does. Is there any way I can fix this in Pitbull?
