If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
It turns out that switching on "advanded mode" in EePanels solved the problem. I can now choose my own .tga pictures and it works perfectly, I'd also like to link to this WoW-Europe.com Forums -> How To DIY Textures/Custom UI page wich pretty much details how to go about to get it all set up.

Hey guys, i need some help.




i just made an wowaceupdate for the first time, and everything went smoothly.

but this utterly annoying thing turned up when casting some of my cooldown abilites on my target (such as fearward as you can see)

i can see it could be useful, but i can't seem to move it and it's annoying as hell in the middle of my screen.

it could be quartz or buffalo, or pitbull or something, but i can't detect what addon it is. anyone know exactly what this is and how to move/scale/kill it?

EDIT :

a bug of some sort it seems. fixed itself.

Hello,

I am looking for an addon, that would show my missed (parried or dodged too) attacks. The reason for this is missing attacks, that do no direct damage and it's not showing up as a miss above my head. It is very annoying to miss Rip, as i usually cast mangle right after it, and if i did it, my dps cycle goes to waste.

Scrolling combat text damage is not what i want, makes my screen spammed too much. Would be great if this addon showed only misses, or i could configure it to do it.

I'm pretty sure Parrot can do what you would like, or possibly Eavesdrop (Though I don't have much experience with Eavesdrop).

You can configure Parrot to only display missed attacks, parried attacks, and dodged attacks to show up in a certain scroll area.

I'm afraid that I probably won't be of much help because I use standalonelibraries to keep problems like this to a minimum, but I had to minorly hack up my MyMedia.lua to get recent versions of ClassTimers to accept my custom textures.
I update my Ace addons daily via WoWAceUpdater, mind sharing that MyMedia.lua modfication, so I can see wether that would fix the problem (via PM if it's too massive to post in the forums).

Thanks to this thread I've now learned how to import my own art into wow, here's an example I've used for testing purposes http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/9...kittyuisk0.jpg Its a Hello Kitty UI

My next question is, does anyone know how to make things partially seetrough, in other words, how to control the impact from the alpha channel so that parts of you art have different transparency ingame?

If you import your through eePanels2 or kgPanels you should be able to set the transparency. I think. Also, I think you should get rid of the border on the minimap - most minimap addons can do this, I prefer Chinchilla.

SimpleMinimap takes away the border on the square maps indeed, but for some reason not on the round one. I can set the transparency fine in EePanels2 thats true, but i'd like to try and figure out how to do it from photoshop on the art itself you see. The quest goes on.
Edit: thinking about it... I guess I could make an aditional piece of art lying ontop of the first one and make that second piece slightly transparent but I was interested if there was some way to make for instance leafs of different transparency already in photoshop. To have the alphachannel affect the graphics differently so to say.

If I get you right you should use the alpha channel in photoshop. Mark the leaves you want with x % of transparency (hopefully they're in separate layers so marking them becomes easier. Note; by marking I mean highlighting/getting that stapled line around your objects).

When you got the leaves you want with x % of transparency go to the alpha channels and make a new alpha channel layer. Fill it with the desired transparency & a white color. If you want your "first set" ( x ) of leaves to be 50% transparency, fill the alpha layer with 50% white. then go back to your original leaves and simply click them (click the layers, don't highlight them. You want the alpha layer to be highlighted. Just click the layer so you're sure you're only working on the desired layer(s)) again, and press backspace (to delete 50% of the transparency. Leaving them 50% transparent).

Coming to think of it, you could do it even simpler. Make alpha channels with different transparencies (10% 50% etc). Then you highlight the desired alpha channel layer (layer giving 10% transparency for instance) and go back to your leaves. Click the actual layers you want to be changed and press backspace (do the "delete" option).

I hope this makes some sort of sense, and I'm not totally off-topic. (You see, I just woke up 5 minutes ago. I'm still in bed, and this post is the very first thing I've done today..)

How come my aloft sometimes doesn use the chosen texture i pick? Sometimes the texture is the texture i have selected for everything in aloft (Hal M) then sometimes its the default blizzard texture. I will be standing next to 2 people for example, weather its a hostile or a freindly target and 1 will be hal m texture the other will be default blizzard texture. How can i fix this?

Also for some reason the sciprt to turn an eepanel class colored is not working =( my border remains white, help much appreciated.

The mod is "coolDown" and to move it you use the external (but also required) addon "IFrameManager" with this command: /ifm

That will show an anchor for each of the frames, allowing you to place them. Using /ifm again will lock them in place. I got very lucky stumbling on that; there's NO documentation for that addon and I've since stopped using it.

Good luck.

Bartender3 Bar Shifting

Hey everyone, i'll just get straight to the point.

as you can see i've been having some troubles with Bartender3. First i'll describe the situation.

I just rerolled a NE druid at home, lvled it to lvl 16, got the whole bearform etc, and amazingly, the bars did actually shift when i went bearform so i could use my bearform abilities, so all is well at home, but now comes the trouble:

I installed WoW on my GF's laptop, and uploaded my WTF and Interface from back home to the laptop, to make sure i had exactly the same options enabled the same addons that i use, once again, at home. But somehow when i play my druid here, the 'bearbar' doesnt show, i know it's there because it's Bar 9 in Bartender3, but it's not switching places with the main bar that has moonfire, wrath etc. on it.

This is my problem, now the question:

Does anybody know if Bartender3 uses specific settings or ever a sidemod to shift between the mainbar and a shapebar? if so, could you post the solution to my problem?

i've been trying for nearly 2 days now, but i cant seem to find a solution or something that could help me direct my way to the solution.


If you need more information, please let me know, and thanks ALLOT in advance, i know i havent had an actual answer yet, but seeing as this thread is 37 pages long, think it's safe to say it's been a successful one

once again, thanks!

Grts,

Teju

There is an option under Bar 1 called Paging or Shifting or something, give that a poke. You can select what page you want for each stance.
