I am using Satrina Buff Frames and I can't seem to figure out how to setup my debuff frame, if there is one.

You'll find the options interface for Satrina with /sbf options

Thank you, I have already managed to find the options menu. I was looking for the debuff options.

My problem is the Zone/Mini-zone message when you move into a new area is right in the middle of them.

You can kinda see what I mean in this screenshot:

UI Screenshot - Imageshack

The Frostwolf Graveyard message there. Any ideas how I move it? Cant find any options in the addons I have and a google search for move zone change message doesn't give any clues.

Thanks alot in advance!
a noobish question, but how you made that empty gap between health bar and power bar and that black thin border around health and mana bars?

(This is all assuming he/she is using pitbulll.)
I believe that is using the Blank Bar, the position was changed. As far as the border, you can change the stlye of border as well in general options.

Sichosis: You can select buff frames in the top right corner of the options panel. I beleive you're looking for #2.

I'd really appreciate some help on this. I have been using Bartender 3 and want to switch to Bartender4. I am hesitating as I have at least 6 bars key-bound to several abilities, macros, spells etc.

This is what the official forum says:-

Q: Where are my keybindings? And how do I bind new keys?
A: BT3 Keybindings will not be ported over either, you have to use the new keyBound to re-bind your keys. You can access keyBound by typing /kb into your chatframe. Hover a button, press key → voila!
Is there a way, unbeknownst to the author, that I can migrate my (many) keybinds?

at the moment in my pitbull setting I have 3 options: no border, blizzard tooltip and blizzard dialog, do I need SharedMedia or something to have more options? (heard about it but never used)

Jemsky, not that I'm aware of. However, it really is a painless process, even with upwards of 70 binds. Have all of the bars viewable, hover over the button, press the keybind, move to the next one. In the case of mine, I have a single bar with alt, shift and ctrl modifiers, which are bound 1, Shift 1, Alt 1 and Ctrl 1 - simply pressing each keybind in turn on the single button set the binds appropriately for each of the modified bars.

It *might* take you 5 minutes; I'd suggest that if it takes you longer, you really don't need Create Heavy Linen Bandage bound to a key

I'm kind of a lua noob, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I want to edit the font and text color in fane, but I'm having a little trouble pulling it off.

im seeing this line near the beginning

inherit = GameFontNormalSmall, and various inherit:GetFont() comments throughout.

If anyone has had success editing this, let me know.

*note: figured out the color issue*

thanks

recently I've started to get more into depth with pve. to the point i want to max my dps as my guild's Ms war.

i use bongos3, easy rage, SCT, dotimer, SCT Battleshout off the top of my head for combat in pve.

so last night i was talking to our fury warrior in our guild about addons and dps. he told me to come to this site so i could read the warrior threads. which i have however i have an aging addon problem and i want to get this slam thing down.


so my problem is. i need to replace and get rid of dotimer since the person doesn't want to update it. I've failed to find one that will work with any kind of class i play. like i can't find one for dots and cool downs or one thats like dotimer.

it was also suggested in the warrior thread i use Quartz for a swing timer but i haven't d/led that cux i think it would interfere with dotimer and bongos. i know i can disable bongos' cast bar. Is it really needed?

i also have a warlock this would effect as well.

ClassTimer will do buffs and dots and whatnot. It's a pretty handy mod.

Quite possible, but not 100% sure. I will check when the servers come back up. It would be in the general options for each frame (each frame can have a blank bar). I think it might be disabled, which you would just need to enable it. Again, I will double check when the servers come back online and let you know.

I know how to use blank bar, however the frame border stays even using blank bar, even if I change it to "no border" the frame bar is still bigger than hp and mp bars, and if I set frame color to fully transparent, there is that nice gap etc. but no 1pix border around bars, just the plain texture and wow world I could use eePanels but it's too frustrating to create a panel for every bar (me, target, tot, focus, tof, pet, top, party members and their targets and so on...) later i'll upload some screenshots if sharedmedia doesn't help here.

P.S. sorry for my bad English

P.S.S. tried messing with MetaLayout.lua file, managed to remove the gaps between bars and portrait, but no luck on changing frame outline size

Anyone know why when I use the Empty texture on my Pitbull frames that I get a solid black bar instead of no bar like I want?

I read Banhammer posts when I'm having a bad day.

well theres 2 ways you can play the wav files regardless of the addon. Ventrilo has options build into it for special events or you can set it up to transmit what you hear. this would go way off topic so if you would like me to explain. the options for ventrilo or specials event for ventrilo pm me. on the side note ur problem might be the fact that they don't have the addon and the mp3 to match. the stuff that ventrilo offers is much easier tho.

Last one for now, some addon makes the edges of my screen glow red when i'm at low health and blue when i'm sheeped. I can list my add ons if that would help ^^ ty

yes, it's pitbull, the portrait module is set to center, over it there is blank bar and under it health and power bars, it's quite loads of messing with options, you can try using PitBUll layout import ability and use this skin, it's almost the same as in your screen but has a cast bar between blank bar and portrait, anyway it's a good place to start.

I'm looking for a way to enable mouseover casting only for my Grid raid frames. I don't want mouseover casting to work on players in the game world, but just on my Grid raidframes.
