Is this just from today or prior to the patch?

I use Bongos2 on my warrior and druid, and once I set the paging for each stance up, and then populated the appropriate bar with the abilities relative to each form/stance it worked perfectly.

How do i clamp the minimap tracker button to the Minimap so it can be moved with my minimap addon?

P.S Im using simpleminimap.

Edit: You would not happen to know how to hide the necb minimap icon as well would you?

The same can generally be done with fonts.

It's all personal preference of course really.

An addon called SurfaceControl makes this quite easy (at least for all Ace mods using SharedMedia for textures) by forcing a specific texture to be returned from SML no matter what texture is asked for.

/necb, it's an option in the menu somewhere. Just uncheck the "show minimap icon" box (or check "hide minimap icon", whatever it uses).

I've had this problem since I started customizing my UI entirely, which was since the last patch. I've been unable to get it to work since I downloaded Bongos. I then switched to Bongos2 to see if it would work better, and thus far it hasn't.

On an unrelated note, once I get everything working, how do I transfer the settings to other characters to avoid having to set it all up again.

Thank you very much =). Now all i need to do is get this new tracker to move with the fix tracker addon and im set with my ui. Cant move it for some reason, i may be doing something wrong.

This is almost a copy/paste of a post I made a few minutes ago on the blizzard UI forums, so forgive me for repeating myself....

My guild is having a ton of issues with a ton of spam in our raid channel spam (to the point that threatmeters bug due to spam). Using AddonSpamFu to track the traffic in the channel I was able to track down a lot of the worst offenders and get them resolved....the last big offender is a mod that shows up in AddonSpamFu as 'K?'.

Basically omen works great when he isn't in the raid, but we get players dropped from it when he is there, due to over-spamming of the channel

The person who is spamming with this mod has no folder or .lua file named k or k?. I've taken a look through his add-on folder and there is nothing in there called 'k' or anything real similar.

Just looking for a quick way to identify what mod it is.

Also, he has 162mb of an add-on folder, which is a whole other problem, but it makes it kind of daunting for me to look through each one trying to figure out what would be aliased as something like 'k?'...anyway, any suggestions other than 'kick him from the raid' or 'have him disable his ui' would be appreciated.

Kilson · 11/13/07, 11:14 PM

I'm not sure if this is exactly the correct place to post this, but here's my problem:

Since this 2.3 patch, I'm getting a ton of framerate stuttering/UI lag in combat, and PerformanceFu shows Ace2 and TabletLib using a very high amount of CPU. Despite this, I'm not sure whether or not this is the cause of my problems.

Obviously, I can't really disable these specific mods to test in isolation, because so many others depend on them. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? If so, at least I know it's not completely on my end.

Sichosis · 11/14/07, 8:07 AM

Anyone have any idea why / how to fix Squeenix? I can see the tracking icons, my character arrow etc, just not the actual zone (texture). It is completely black. I updated Squeenix to the newest build which is 13 hours ago and still nothing.

Have a problem with the new guild bank frame, with item boxes over writing the tabs, i use Ark Inv and ofc Squeenix, but from the layout i dont think its either of these addons causeing the problem, anyone have the same issue? if so is ther ea quick fix, failing that, is the "guild bank" add-on i can use.

Thankyou.

Kasi · 11/14/07, 12:12 PM

I figured this was the best thread to post it in. But this is relating with the new casting system. I generally pre patch didn't use quartz and just spammed my casting key. So I got it off, but now when doing that I am greatly annoyed by "this spell is not ready" messages I'm getting. From what I can see the casting kind of works like stopcasting before since if you spam it it seems to get off a bit before its done casting the first. But yeah the main thing is does anyone know how to get rid of that damn message? Thanks.

Zeroblack · 11/14/07, 12:46 PM

Spiderella, what unitframes are those?

Also, is there a simple way to kill the minimap buttons or just manage them properly? I'm using Squeenix but a few addons I use are either just infelxible w/ the button placement or try to rotate around the circle of the old minimap.

-edit- Casi, I think Errormonster will blow those out completely. Also, disabling the emotes when you get those messages should be a sound option in the standard WoW UI.

-edit- nevermind, i think this might work in 2.3: MobileMinimapButtons/ChangeLog - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

MaveN · 11/14/07, 2:40 PM

Does anyone know how to use the fixtracker addon? I am having trouble, thank you in advanced. =).

Plexi · 11/14/07, 6:30 PM

Is there a way to remove the error text and sound when spamming a button such as Fireball? Preferably a mod or file edit rather than a script so I don't have to re-do it every time I log.

Thanks

I get the same thing, and i'm using Baggins and SimpleMinimap. I'm guessing skinner is the culprit but i didn't have time to try anything yesterday.

Tial · 11/15/07, 2:59 AM

I am having a problem with my eePanels2 script. I think this is the right place to ask such questions? Anyway, it is a panel script for my druid and I was wondering if anyone had time to look at what I wrote and explain to me how it is wrong so that I can better understand what I don't understand about scripting. [Which is to say, I do not know anything about scripting and this was my vain attempt based on the information that I could find]

Any help is appreciated. Just trying to change the width of a panel based on what stance I am in.

function eePanels2:FrameResize()
	if GetShapeShiftForm() = 0 then
	   THIS:SetWidth(1500)	
	elseif GetShapeShiftForm() = 1 then
	   THIS:SetWidth(1500)
	elseif GetShapeShiftForm() = 2 then
	   THIS:SetWidth(600)
	elseif GetShapeShiftForm() = 3 then
	   THIS:SetWidth(1500)
	elseif GetShapeShiftForm() = 4 then
	   THIS:SetWidth(600)
	end
end

eePanels2:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD", eePanels2.FrameResize)
eePanels2:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORMS", eePanels2.FrameResize)

ErrorMonster is what you're looking for. You can download this addon on files.wowace.com. To remove error speech just go into WoW sound options and uncheck the error speech option.

Just pretty standard pitbull, the bars above are Elk Buff Bars configured to integrate w/ Pitbull layout-wise.

Magladena · 11/15/07, 9:49 AM

I feel kind of dumb cause I get the feeling it's a really simple answer and I am just being oblivious to something.

There's a font I want to use for my ElkBuffBars, but I'm not able to figure out how to get the font to appear in the selection list. I went digging through the EBB folder, nothing there about fonts, I also have SharedMedia installed, and I recognized some of the fonts in those folders. I tried copying/installing the font to where those other fonts were, and evern went through the readme and attempted to edit the lua, which the readme told me to do. Still nothing D:

Any help is appreciated, or if I am being too broad let me know what info I left out, thanks

Rugrud · 11/15/07, 9:53 AM

i'm looking for a light mode that would allow me to move the PVP/zone information in the middle top of the screen (as the score in arathi or warsong, time remaining for the towers in Terrokar...). I've put here a bar with bartender for controlling my CDs, and i can't read the info...

thanks in advance

I really like the unitframe layout, though I tweaked some of the colors a bit (upped the contrast between the bars and empty space/background). It's eating up a good bit of memory but I might need to pare down some of the additional optional components. Thanks! I've trimmed down my UI considerably and stripped it of everything non-Ace, with the exception of Geist. Ditched aguf in favor of Pitbull, which is awesome stuff, but is taking me a considerable amount of time to configure to my liking.

You need to edit the lua appropriately (create a MyMedia file, and a MyMediaFiles folder, etc) and make sure to restart WoW entirely. For whatever reason, simply logging out isn't enough for it to acknowledge font changes, which can be very frustrating when you're just starting to try to get things working.

ArkInv updated yesterday including GuildBank functions, but left out the part where you can see "tab history" to see whos been siphoning funds/items from the selected bags.
