You're probably using SharedMedia-2.0 which is based on LibSharedMedia 2

Quartz, Grid and other addons have updated to LibSharedMedia 3 which works with the SharedMedia folder and not the SharedMedia-2.0 folder. It's a bit of a mess at the moment with all the different versions.

The short answer: download and use "SharedMedia", get rid of "SharedMedia-2.0". Be sure to copy over any of your custom textures and fonts and update MyMedia.lua with the new paths.

My current UI set up is not too dissimilar from oha's proposal (at least in terms of centralized information in the bottom middle), and might prove a useful source of inspiration:

Assirra · 05/03/08, 10:58 PM

So my UI issue is that if I load Afflicted2 (which would by default load Ace libs), then I cannot access the texture I want through SharedMedia. However, if I do not load Afflicted2, my texture is available. I have narrowed this entirely down to Afflicted2 loading SharedMedia, however this is an addon that loads Ace libraries but is not available through the updater. It appears to be loading LibSharedMedia-3.0, when what I want to load is SharedMedia-1.0, which is what Aloft loads. I'm pretty .lua illiterate, but I'd really like to know how I can load afflicted and still maintain the available texture.

Edit: A quick fix is just to copy the texture I want into Addons/Afflicted/Images then simply delete one of the textures in there and rename my texture to that name. I'm happy with this for now, but one of these days I need to discover why this is happening.

I know you said you would put pets there but honestly you probably won't have a pet and a focus target at the same time; I know as a healer the only time I use focus is on Felmyst so I can see gas nova.

Quick question though: where does raid go? I figured maybe under your action bars, but that seems a little jumbled...does it replace party? Line down the side?

Here's my simple idea:
[SKIP THE HUGE PICTURE TO MAKE MY POST MORE CONCISE]

What about raid frames?

(Since most of the EJ forum readers raid one way or another, and you can not really get away from raiding even if you only pvp)

lazerpewpew · 05/04/08, 5:51 AM

Ignore the quickstatsv2's note files, it is not even remotely correct.

You need to use /quickstats2 instead of /qs for command options.

hey guys i downloaded Hal's texture pack but for some reason it will only show up for pitbull and im trying to get it to work for quartz and grid. any suggestions?

Taidaisher · 05/05/08, 9:24 PM

I know this is a stupid question, and I'm sure it's been covered before, but I haven't been able to find the answer. So please forgive my newbness, but here is my question: How do I transfer the UI of my main to my alts, without having to reconfigure everything for each toon?

Imbar · 05/05/08, 11:02 PM

Copy your main toon's WTF folder and rename it to your alt's name.
(C:/WoW/WTF/Account/ACCTNAME/SERVER/Toon1, Toon2, etc.)

Post on Pitbull.

I've been working on my UI for about 8 hours now. (7 hours 30 min of which is pitbull). I've been wanting it to look like: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2...8022514kz1.jpg. Only thing I can't figure out is how to get the name, power, and health at the bottom. And how to get the debuffs above the name (and the Sunder Armor debuff count...doubt its pitbull, but if it isnt ill go find it).

Thanks.

I'm not 100% on this (WoW is down, so can only check in 4 hours). But I think he has added a blank bar.

You could use a blank bar, or you should be able to anchor the text to the frame (below-left, below-right, etc). I don't think the Sunder Armor bar is Pitbull though.

Hello, I recently installed Caith UI. Everything works correctly, except one thing.
The panels for new stuff, like new EEpanels, fubar modules and stuff like that have some weird borders.
Anyone knows how this is fixed?

Heres a screenshot:

ceasefire · 05/07/08, 11:17 AM

Go into EE Panels and adjust the borders manually?

I've been having a weird problem in EOTS. Viewing the map (Cartographer) and returning to the screen briefly turns off my UI and I have to use Alt+Z to turn it back on. Has anyone encountered this?

Sirupsen · 05/07/08, 11:53 AM

My problems is also borders on everything else, Ceasefire.

Check to see if you have a /World Of Warcraft/Interface/Tooltips directory. If you do, try getting rid of it and seeing if that fixes some of your problems. That would override the default WoW tooltip border texture, so it would replace anything that used it (which I think eePanels and many other addons use by default).

thillin · 05/08/08, 1:33 AM

I've tried installing Caith's UI (10.5) and Hal's UI (8.2.4) and my screen looked like this both times:
http://i31.tinypic.com/2zswj2x.jpg

I'm a noob at customizing UI but I followed the directions and still ended up with it. Any help?

Pagarth · 05/08/08, 2:58 AM

Are certain mods disabled? Did you try to install both at the same time? Did you rename the folders and follow all the directions precisely?

thillin · 05/08/08, 3:02 AM

- Not that I know of.
- No
-Yes, I did. It happened both times when I tried installing them separately.. And it looked very similar both times.

The Sunder Armor bar looks like ClassTimers.

Thillin: Looks like you are using a fairly low resolution. That means there will be quite a bit of moving things around. You can try to adjust the UI Scale and see if that helps any, or check Caith's readme for which resolution you should be using. There also seems to be a whole lot of profiles you are not loading, and I know Caith's readme is specific about that. Moving the eepanels for the chat frames aren't very easily done if you have very little experience, because afaik Caith use four different layers on top of each other to create them.

Yes, but I want them to look like the bars below.

Due to Mobinfo2 and some other enhanced tooltip addons I find realy usefull, mob's tooltip became quite large, and since I like to use my mouse for attacking and switching targets, mis fight the tooltip window always pop's up, and it's rly irritating.

I was wondering if there's an addon who can block toltip when im in combat or on demand? Also just minimizing it's font size would help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi. Looking for a bit of help.
I recently changed from using Totemtimers to Numen. (cpu usage on Totemtimers was too high)
Whilst there are few things i miss from the totemtimers themselves, what i really miss having is the handy shield bar.
I'm using Numens pop up shield for watershield and have Earth Shield mouse bound for use with Grid and Earth Shield Tracker to show the ES target.
However, the shield bar in Totemtimers was very nice. Is there a stand alone shield mod that has the same functionality?
I've tried most if not all of the specific shaman mods, but not found one that does the job properly.

What i like was being able to left/right click for Lightning and Water shield and it showing 'Red' when it had faded/used, along with a message warning if you wanted; the time left underneath and the number of charges remaining; plus it looked much like a blizz buff (not a fan of bars for buffs). If it could incorporate ESTracker's functionality too, even better.

So if there is a mod that does this, anyone know?
If not, i'll just get a class timer and plonk it somewhere for now, but having the functionality of both a timer and button in one would be missed.
I've looked at the lua and it seems it could be straightforward to 'take out' the shield timer bits and then incorporate ESTracker to it, but i have neither the time nor the expertise to do this. Any volunteers?

By tooltip addon I think you meant cowtip?

Anyway, I edited my cowtip to only keep the information I am interested in on the tooltip.

Imbar · 05/09/08, 4:31 PM

MobInfo shows things like avg hitpoints, avg mana, average quality of drop, what items the mob has dropped previously, etc. I believe that is what you're referring to? It does get rather unwieldy the more times you kill a particular type of mob.
In that case, if you're using Cowtip or a similar addon, there should be a way to hide the tooltip in combat or force it to show on button press only.
