A few questions since I can't investigate while at work.

1) Does the Forte Warlock cooldown timer give a little icon or message like CooldownTimer? If so then I'll switch in a heartbeat; CDT takes up a lot of space with timers but the message is so nice to have.

2) Is there a way to make Grid update the health of people who are out of range? Pitbull raid does it as does Healbot, but I like Grid a lot better.

3) Where can I get the dark textures for Pitbull that everyone loves without downloading a new UI?

So the Omen frame I have to parent it to is different from the one that pops up when I join a raid/party?
That makes things more painful -_-

No idea on the target frame thing, either, huh?

/edit: Nevermind, the target frame works fine. I must've just had a strange problem.

 

Kaboomafoo

1) Never used it
2) Not a healer, dunno
3) WoWAce :: SharedMedia I use that for background textures. It integrates new features to certain addons, so it's not an addon in itself. If you want specific PitBull layouts, you'll either need pre-built coding or knowledge of Lua script.

if anyone uses coolDown (ace2 addon), could they please tell me how to configure if not unlock the frame so i can move it from the middle of my screen?

thanks alot in advanced if anyone can help.

The problem i am having is for some reason is my vol and volm skins for bartender3 are not showing my omnicc cooldown, unless i change the skin to anything else but vol and volm, why is this happening? Also when im on vol/volm and change to any other cycircled texture, the cooldown appears, then i change back to vol/volm and then it disappears.

I downloaded Bartender4 but the only way to configure it is by typing /bt4 or whatever. Is there a better way to configure Ace3 addons? I have FuBar and Rock but I didn't see BT4 there. Also, I looked in the interface options and didn't see it there.

There's an addon I have that I can't particularly identify (Maybe AuctioneerAdv), but it comes packaged with a gui for all my addons called Addon Preferences.
I find it handy for things that force you to use the chat box to configure it.

I have a question as an addon to this:

I tried to install Hal's textures using MyMedia inside of SharedMedia, and while Hal's textures show up on some addons, they don't show up on others such as PitBull? Am I supposed to put in a custom line in pitbull anywhere so it picks up files from MyMedia as well?

 

College

Well I'm having a problem with the UI package I downloaded. I like it and it works great but I don't really know some of the addons in it.

Here are my problems:

1) When I inspect people I can't see their talent spec. I'm using examiner I believe and it shows me their stats and other cool things but no talent spec. Any idea how I can change/fix this?

2) When in a group/raid I can no longer see raid marks({skull}, {square}) near mobs portraits. I have no idea how to fix this or what addon might be changing this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this/help!

It could possibly be whatever addon you're using is not updated. Make sure you have the most recent version of Examiner or whichever you have. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to get a different addon :P
The raid icons has something to do with your UI. Which unit frames are you using?

@Pinchet: The textures from Hal's package show up in certain addons but not others? Strange. Make sure everything is correctly coded through your MyMedia. I'm bad at coding and messing with Windows junk (I have a Mac), so I've no idea how to fix that.

My guess is that your MyMedia stuff is registered with SharedMediaLib-X and the addons that aren't seeing it only support SharedMediaLib-Y. There's SharedMediaLib (1.0), LibSharedMedia-2.0, and LibSharedMedia-3.0. I'm not sure of some of the specifics (I.E. is 3.0 backwards compatible?), but I do know that you'll need to register the media with whichever revision the addon is looking at. If Pitbull is looking at LibSharedMedia-2.0, and your custom stuff is registered in a 1.0 format, it may not be available to that particular addon. I don't run Pitbull so I couldn't say which version it looks for, but I know I've run into this with other addons.

I recently returned to WoW after a 2 year absence and I need a lot of help with my UI. I've tried a lot of the most popular options but because of travelling often, I can only play on a laptop most of the time, leaving me with a max resolution of just 800x600. The majority of the addons I've tried seem designed for a much bigger monitor, and these clutter my screen so much I can't really see much whilst soloing, let alone raiding. Therefore any recommendations for a UI built to help solve this problem would be great.

I could also use help with warlock specific mods. I am currently in the process of leveling but aim to be pretty serious about raiding eventually so are there any mods I should get used to now which could help me in the long run? Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm using grid for unit frames. I don't know if examiner lets you look at spec or if it completely shuts it out.

 

College

apparently discord unit frames is in here too. Which is the problem, I just don't know how to fix it.

 

College

NVM got the icons showing now, very confusing, don't use discord

still stuck on the show spec

 

College

fixed the spec showing too. Now, for some reason when I link something it links twice.

By link I mean ctrl+left click.

This is minor, but very annoying.

MACRO 1

The following macro lets you mash sap when you know there's someone in stealth near you. It will sap them when you come close enough without you having to target them but it will also Sap as normal if you have a target:

#showtooltip Sap
/console targetNearestDistance 10.000000
/targetenemy
/console targetNearestDistance 41.000000
/cast Sap

I'd like to an an alt modifier to also use it for distract. So far I've tried adding the line "/cast Distract" and also I've tried changing "/cast Sap" to "/cast Distract; Sap". Neither work which I think is because of the other lines in the macro. Can anyone help me out?

MACRO 2

OK the following macro works great and will use Ghostly Strike if it's off cooldown (20 seconds) otherwise it will use Hemo but if i press alt first it will let me blind my target or it will blind what I mouseover without switching targets:

#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=7 hemorrhage, ghostly strike, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage; Blind

213/255 characters used

I wanted the same macro to also activate my trinket when off cooldown and when I'm in combat so we get:

#showtooltip
/startattack
/use 14
/castsequence reset=7 hemorrhage, ghostly strike, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage; Blind

230/255 characters used. Works great except that as soon as the trinket is used and when it's off cooldown for 2 minutes every time I press the button I get the annoying error sound and error message which makes it unusable.

To stop the annoying error sound and message we amend the previous macro to the following and this is where I start running into trouble:

#showtooltip
/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 14
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/castsequence reset=7 hemorrhage, ghostly strike, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage; Blind

It's about 59 characters too long and only goes as far as the g in the term target. I can remove the line /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() which removes the error message because I know there's a mod that will remove all error messages but I have to keep /console Sound_EnableSFX 0 and /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() because there is no mod to remove error sounds. This brings me down to 30 characters too long.

If I shorten the Hemo cast sequence to say reset=5 and remove some of the hemorrhage entries hemo won't fire off enough and I'm left with a full energy bar some of the time. Somebody recommened splitting the macro in two like the following but I couldn't make it work and it just seems far to messy:

Macro 1 in the 2nd button on my actionbar

/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use Bladefist's Breadth
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/click action8

Macro 2 in the 8th button on my action bar

/castsequence reset=7 hemorrhage, ghostly strike, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage; Blind
/click action2

Does anybody know a way to take another 30 characters off the macro as it stands please?

#showtooltip
/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 14
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/castsequence reset=7 hemorrhage, ghostly strike, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage, hemorrhage; Blind

EDIT

Castrandom works in the following but because hemo costs 35 energy and ghostly strike 40 GS isn't getting preference and firing off straight away when I'm mashing the key. It does fire off but hemo gets the perference. It's a bit better when I use 2 ghostly strikes and one hemorrhage term. Is this as good as I'm going to get?

#showtooltip
/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use 14
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/castrandom reset=7 ghostly strike, hemorrhage, ghostly strike; Blind

I think you want a macro help thread rather then a UI help thread...nonetheless, "/cast [modifier:Alt] Distract" should work for the first macro. No clue about the second.

I upgraded from Bartender3 to Bartender4, and my button borders are not working. I was using the button borders that Rothar did a while back. They look similar to Caith's button borders, but just a little bit thicker.

Here is a older shot of them.

You can use ButtonFacade with the corresponding designs, a button-skinning addon working very well with BT4. Both Caith's and Roth's designs are available.

Sprout

I love this addon, especially for Brut, but sometimes it just is not showing all the incoming heals I know a target/mouseover is getting. Sometimes it even misses MY heals.

Am I doing something wrong config wise, or is there an addon out there that will show incoming heal in a bar model like this? I would prefer one that did not require all healers to have it, as some of my compatriots are a bit stubborn.

 

Sinndir

Hi Sprout, try this UI mod for incoming heals. It is called Casting Monitor and is a part of the Xperl package. Just scroll part of the way down (1/4 the screen about) and you should find some more details on it.

I am using pitbul and want to configure my player/target/ToT frames the same as Ouf Slim. (grey bars with class coloured mana bars)

Have had a look at the colour options in pitbull but I am a bit lost as to how to change them. Help appreciated.

 

solarin006

go to pitbull->player->bars->health

uncheck color by class

I believe Addon Preferences is part of Ace2, as it only shows Ace2 compatible addons.

For my Ace3 addons I created a macro "/ace3", and put it on my main bar, and key bound it. This will open a GUI for all your ace3 addons, including B4.
