hey guys, I just have a question regarding caith ui (Caith UI : WoWInterface Downloads : Graphical Compilations)

So, I've downloaded and installed it, everything works except rBuff which is not displaying buff timers at all. But I'm not the only one with the issue, and there have been a few suggestions in the UI thread about what to replace it with and I guess I'll try some of the alternatives.

But, what really bugs me is the total lack of target debuff timers, especially with the new wotlk functionality of seeing the time on party/raid debuffs also. As the UI is composed of almost all the addons I used to use until an hour ago (the only differences are the forementioned rBuff, ClassTimer, Mapster, Chatter which were nothing, nothing, Cart and Prat an hour ago, respectively), I'd like to ask if anyone knows what could be causing the lack of debuff timers?

My first guess was ClassTimer, so I tried disabling it, but it didn't help.

P.S.

Caith's Pitbull is kind of stripped down and it only has

Pitbull
Pitbull_Aura
Pitbull_CombatText
Pitbull_ComboPoints
PitBull_DruidManaBar
PitBull_HealthBar
PitBull_HideBlizzard
PitBull_LeaderIcon
PitBull_PowerBar
PitBull_RaidTargetIcon
PitBull_RangeCheck
PitBull_TotemTimers

Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm using the rBuff addon as well. I think the default Interface settings on your WoW disable the buff timers being shown? Try to check the settings and see if that works.

I currently use the Caith UI and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to disable the achievement notifications with Chatter?

I've right clicked the basic chat tab and unchecked it from the settings, but I still get them and I'd kinda like to turn it off. ;/

Is there a good online reference for DogTag? I know of the thread here, but running through it for minor syntax issues is rather daunting, and the in-game help errors out on me.

It's hard to find now that wowace has moved over to its new system, but the old wiki is still out there. The page you want is LibDogTag-3.0.

Awesome, thanks. I couldn't find the old wiki anywhere from wowace's site.

Also, if people want the in-game help to work, get the latest build from the development site...it works fine there!

From what I understand, it's possible since a few patches ago to see how much time you have left on your PvP status. Is there a way for Pitbull/DogTag to display this?

Zoningtext, Subzoningtext, Notifications

Hello there,

1) I use a dual-screen-setup with a resolution of 3840x1200. The right screen is only used for addons and only the left one is rendered (Addon: ct_viewport).

Unfortunately the Zoning-Text, Subzoning-Text, Questtracker-Text, Error-Text, (...) are displayed in the middle of my screens (between the screens) and that is really ugly ^^

How can I hide or move this output ?

I tried a lot of addons, but none of them worked ... including moveanything which is able to do this, but heavily bugged
(Its disabling the ESC-Button and some other frames like the spellbook, questframes ...)


2) I can´t hide the EXP-gained which always displayed by the build-in combattext ... Unfortunately the textsize is addicted to the screensize.
Whenever I gain EXP I´ve got this really huge annoying text on my screen ^^

Is there a chance to hide or disable this too ?


Thanks in advance


Edit:

Problem 1 solved -- Deleting the MoveAnything-WTF succeeded. Thanks IceShadow
Problem 2 still open ^^

1) Your main chat window is huge. You can easily shrink it (and the font) to fit two chat frames in there.
2) Your inventory covers a massive amount of space, it can easily cover a second chat frame.

MoveAnything works fine for me. Might want to make sure you uninstall it, reinstall the newest version, and delete the moveanything.lua in your WTF directories. It's what I use to do the same thing.

For the second, no, it's huge and so are party/say chat bubbles. No way to change them. I use Aloft to shrink down the health bars on-screen too, or they'd be gigantic as well.

It sounds very similar to the memory leak issue cowtip was giving me that only happened when I was melee but never while I was healing. Try disabling CowTip and see if it happens.

DoTimer configuration

I'm having a hard time trying to add some timers to the cooldown anchor. I want to move Inner Fire, Replenishment, and Shadow Weaving to appear with my cooldowns. I'm not using DoTimer for dot timers/playeraura's though as I prefer the blizzard buff/debuff position and I use Quartz for my target debuff timer.

Using the newest version of DoTimer I thought this would be doable by going to DoTimer -> Cooldowns -> Select Anchor to Customize -> Cooldown Anchor -> Default Anchor -> Move these times: and then enter in inner fire and then replenishment, and then shadow weaving.

This doesn't seem to work Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Couple of questions I got at the moment:

Apologies if her Ui has been disected else where, I tried searching first but had limited results:

Q1 - Caiths Pitbull Design - has this been listed somewhere on how to replicate it ? I don't want to use much else (apart from Q2) from that UI.

Q2 - I presume Caiths bordering has been done by eepanels - does anyone know how ? i can get the panel to create a black box, but whenever i try and import a texture it doesn't ike it. Also it looks like she has used 2 per box? Am i on the right lines here?

Thanks,

Enzo

I have noticed a very annoying problem with grid since I have started raiding in WoTLK. It sometimes take multiple clicks on the grid frame before I can actually target something. It feels like it happens more while in combat, but it still happens often while out of combat.

Anybody else noticed a similar issue and have found a solution? I have tried updating and turning off my extra grid modules but the problem persists.

Been having an issue with ClassTimer recently that's driving me insane. My old version of ClassTimer that I used in beta and pre-WotLK only tracked my debuffs (I'm a shadow priest). The version I'm using now, which I downloaded off of WowAce, is now tracking both mine and any other shadow priest's DoTs if they're in my group. Naturally this is rather frustrating and detrimental to my DPS--I'm having to check Dominos to see if my debuffs are on the mob. Anyone know what could be causing this? I'm also having the mod stop working on occasion when I target someone and they have another priest's buff like PW:S or Renew on them, forcing me to /reloadui.

Would really like to know if anyone else has been having this issue or if it's just me...one of the officers in my guild uses it and says it is only tracking his poison/Rupture/etc (he's a rogue).

ouF_Lyn Help

I've been customizing ouF_Lyn to replace certain elements of Grid that I liked. However, when it comes to Buff checks, I am lost. Unlike Self.Debuff.filter, Self.Buff.filter does nothing. I have buffs showing up on the raid frames, but I want only Arcane Intellect or Arcane Brilliance to appear.

There seems to be a work around with , but I am not an expert. I don't know if there is a command in the LUA file that I don't know how to use or if it has something to do with UnitBuff, or whatever.

If anyone is really knowledgeable on LUA, please help me out.

Here is my source:
oUF - Unit frame framework.

Here is what I have:
self.Buffs = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self) -- buffs
self.Buffs.size = 13
self.Buffs:SetHeight(self.Buffs.size)
self.Buffs:SetWidth(self.Buffs.size)
self.Buffs:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", -5, -20)
self.Buffs.initialAnchor = "BOTTOMLEFT"

self.Buffs. num = 1
self.Buffs.spacing = 0
???? self.Buffs.filter = true
self.Buffs.num = 1 -- max debuffs

I've been having trouble with errors from Quartz since 3.0 came out.

It also seems to bug out with regards to tracking buffs/debuffs on my target and/or focus target.

For instance, when I set myself as focus and buff myself, it tracks the buff seemingly fine. Then when it gets to 0, instead of the little bar going away it just sits there and bugs out.

When I cast the buff again, the bar doesn't happen.

Is this a Quartz thing or a my UI thing that I might be able to fix?

Is it possible to copy your layout from one character to another? Like for example I have my statsblocks and pminimap placed where I want it on one character and I want the layout to be the same for alts.

Yes, it is possible.

Look in your Warcraft\WTF\Account\servername\Character folder, find all the lua files with the name of the mod you want to copy the layouts for, and copy them into the folder for the character you want to have the same setup. Be sure to open each in notepad or any other text editor and be sure you have the right character's name.

Optionally as well, many addons support profiles somewhere in their configuration UI that you can use to the same purpose.
