You've messed with the interface options recently, right? 'Texture Detail: Low' is probably the reason for your fuzzy arrows.

Oh, gross. Thanks. It seems odd that blizzard tied 2D object quality into a setting which predominantly (I presume) affect 3D graphics performance.

Is there any mod, or easy way to on-the-fly highlight multiple people in a Pitbull setup so that I can better remember and find who I'm assigned to heal? It would be really nice if I could put a red or white box over 4-5 people in the raid (when not group) that I have to heal so that I could visually cue off of them. Maybe a way to add a custom 'debuff marker' that doesn't depend on the target's aura?

In need of some help, found this on these forums that oCD is the cooldown addon in the lower right, downloaded it from http://ixo.no/git/.

It shows in my addon list when choosing character, but nothing when I use cds. Do I need to do something to get it to look like that?

Thanks.

I've downloaded tapestry UI recently and have an issue with totems located in the center of my chat screen. I know for a fact it is not Yata or totemtimer since I had to add Yata myself. Any help would totally rule.

*EDIT* I moved my chat screen in this screen shot. But its the totem bar that has the fire totems up.

Borona · 05/28/08, 6:30 AM

Hard to tell from the screen alone but maybe its Autobar and its Shamanbar.

Ohi · 05/28/08, 11:07 AM

Totemtimer and Yata both look like that, it's really hard to say like Borona said, unless you show an addon list.

dreadlorde · 05/28/08, 6:45 PM

Anybody know the name of the bar texture used here? I can't find it in shared media..

Caladnei · 05/29/08, 5:16 AM

I'm trying to find out which font is used in this screenshot. The font I mean can be seen in the combat log and above the characters' heads.
Furthermore, I'd like to know which mod changes the font of the character's names and guild names above them (not in the tooltip). Can anyone help me with that?

Khamun · 05/31/08, 3:29 AM

Im not sure what caused this but does anyone know how to remove this "full portrait/stats" which appears in the middle of my screen?

Thanks guys!

Edit: It was ArcHud causing it, thanks.

I'm unsure how to do that, but I think it would be AMAZING for raid healers while keeping a minimalist unit frame.

I may be searching for the wrong keywords, but I can't find any information (may not be possible?) on making a macro with a condition.

I used to use Geist | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com to have a popup action bar with buffs and other infrequently used spells on it to save screen space. I was never 100% happy with how it worked but it was the closest I could think of at the time however now I'm trying a new approach. I just installed Bartender4 and I've created a hidden bar with the same spells on it and I'd like to make a macro to show/hide it. Here is a bit of psuedo-code to describe what I'm after:

if BT4Bar5:Visible() then
   /script BT4Bar5:Hide()
else
   /script BT4Bar5:Show()
endif

# or possibly more do-able

var BuffBar = false # default hidden
if BuffBar == false
   /script BT4Bar5:Show()
else
   /script BT4Bar5:Hide()
endif

Is something like this possible within the WoW macro constraints or is it something that I would need to delve into Lua to pull off if I decided to take that route? Any tips or links to sites with more info would be much appreciated, trolling Google and WoWWiki didn't return much info but again, I could have just as easily been searching for the wrong keywords.

EDIT: Gah, next link I clicked had the answer. Leaving the question here incase anyone else in curious but I was so close and it's damn easy.

/script if BT4Bar5:IsVisible() then BT4Bar5:Hide() else BT4Bar5:Show() end

Chuck that in a macro and it works wonderfully.

Question1) I'm trying to add a right click to cancel buff section to this part of my oUF layout.

self.PostCreateAuraIcon = auraIcon
self.SetAuraPosition = auraOffset

and here is my right click code:

local buff_OnClick = function(self, button)
     if (button == "RightButton" and self:GetParent():GetParent().unit == "player") then
        local name, rank = UnitBuff("player", self:GetID())
        CancelPlayerBuff(name, rank)
     end
end

I'm not sure if the code is right, I could only find one example of it by haste in the ouf thread. I couldn't find any layouts that contained it and I looked through like 10 I think. I think the --end--s are wrong because it doesn't seem right to add the end before the end of the main function. But when I add the code after self.PostCreateAuraIcon = auraIcon self.SetAuraPosition = auraOffset and before return self, it breaks.

Question2)I have this code for my combo points.

Code:

local cpoints = self:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
cpoints:SetPoint("RIGHT", self, "RIGHT", 30, 0)
cpoints:SetFont(font, 36, "OUTLINE")
cpoints:SetTextColor(1,1,1)
cpoints:SetJustifyH"RIGHT"
self.CPoints = cpoints

It works perfectly, but is it possible to make each combo point a different color? I took a look at the code for BasicComboPoints mod, but it doesn't seem to be written the same.

I am fairly new at this coding thing, I've tackled some big hurdles writing my own layout, but these two things just seem to be frustrating me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to customize the enemy nameplates in WoW. I've tried Aloft but found it too bloated even when I turned off most functions. I've also looked at pTags/evlNameplates but what I'm interested in doesn't exist in those packages. Namely I would like to increase the size of the enemy nameplate. I found a line in pTags/evlNameplates with "healthBar:SetHeight(12)" and I just increased the number to 20. This had the desired effect but only temporarily. Whenever I moved away from the target and came back, it would resize down to the standard size and if I targeted another mob by the same name it would not generate an "over-sized" nameplate on first function call.

In addition I tried to customize a custom nameplate .blp out-of-game to a larger size thinking that may have an effect but all it did was produce a run-time error when loading a nameplate in-game.

Any thoughts? This is not for me, I'm helping a friend who doesn't like tab-targeting while tanking in Hyjal and he believes that bigger nameplates will make it easier for him to select mobs on the fly (he is grabbing select mobs in lieu of AoE'ing them).

Cheers.

P.S. Prefer an answer to my request if possible as opposed to a critique of my friends motivation for the nameplates. Thanks.

Ajuga · 06/01/08, 5:21 PM

@ Trevear

I can't imagine bigger nameplates will increase the "click area" of the nameplate - and so it will only have an effect on visibility, not easier targeting.

I suggest tabbing with the scroll wheel.

Hi just switched from aguf to Pitbull, and I'm looking for a way to disable all raid frames (I'm a Warrior and it's not really needed) while still showing the players in my party. There is an option for AGUF to do so, but Pitbull shows every raid member's health/cast/mana bars and it's really annoying. When I disable the raid frames, I can't see my party members either.

And actually, I feel a bit daunted by reconfiguring a new unit frame add on. Is it possible to change the font size of Ag Unit Frames? I don't know if I have to dig into the LUA to do so.

In the Party frames section, on the 'Other' tab, there's an option to hide the Party frames when in a Raid. This is on by default. If you turn it off, then you will still see the party frames when you're in a raid.

I just started playing again after a 3month hiatus. I don't have a backup of my old UI. So I am starting from scratch. What is the latest in UI addons and what is everyone using? I have installed updated versions of Bartender, Prat, Pitbull, Omen, and Violation.

ceasefire · 06/02/08, 10:03 PM

I'd say the best idea is to pick up a really good UI mod you admire from screenshots, and look at the different add ons they are using.

Question: Recently when I hit the log out button, it counts down from 20. But when I hit escape to cancel the log out, my character freezes and the countdown continues (without the message showing). When it hits 20 (silent counter), I get logged out. Is this UI related?

Erag · 06/03/08, 6:08 AM

Hey,Im hunter, just started to raid. And i tried to create my interface , but it isnt good . Can you suggest what addons is best for raiding hunter, and mabye there is good addon pack?

Sichosis · 06/03/08, 8:08 AM

I had a UI I custom made using eePanels and various addons before I took a break. I know what addons are good. I was asking if there have been any new addons released that are better or replace older ones, for example I am using kgpanels now instead of eepanels. Thats what I was referring

I used SimpleCombatLog before I took a break, I liked how it broke each part down into different colors and made it easier to read, it seems that it doesn't do that anymore. Is there a something similar?

Atallicus · 06/03/08, 10:48 AM

Try Hitsmode for the combat log.

Sichosis · 06/03/08, 11:19 AM

Thanks Atallicus, I will check it out.
