The entry on curse.com only mentioned to do /dog, but I figured it is only for changing the text formatting. I tried to do /pb, and even going through Options menu on my WoW, thinking that I might have disabled the small config menu option that most addon placed near the minimap, but to no avail.

Thank you.
Unless the command has changed in recent versions since I switched to Shadowed UF, the options should be available via " /pitbull ".

Kgpanels debuff tracker

I've found some scripting that will enable me to create a debuff tracker using kgpanels like this shown between the player and target unit frames (not my screenshot). What I'd like to do is adapt the code to suit my own needs so I'd like to know if a few things are possible.

Firstly at present the text is displayed in grey if inactive of white if active. What I'd like to do is have it as red as inactive , yellow if the buff isn't at full strength (such as 1-4 stacks of scorch) and green if a full strength debuff is applied. I have been able to find how to change colours, what I am struggling with is getting a third condition. From the code I have the option of true or false. Is there a way to get three contitions or work around the scrpit so that the three conditions are checked for?

Secondly for torment the weak one of the things the script checks for is if there is one of two named paladins in the raid. The paladin would be specced for judgement of the just. The problem that arrises is that the paladin tanks that I raid with are dual specced and therefore may be in the raid but DPSing or healing. On a normal boss fight this obviously isn't an issue as the other tanks would apply the debuff but on a fight such as Mimiron or Kologarn i'd like to know if Frost Fever has made its way to the target i'm DPSing and the way the script is set up it would show regardless as the paladin is in the raid. What I'm trying to find out is if there is some script I can use that will either check my target's target name and apply if true or check by mobs threat who the person highest or second highest in threat is. After much searching I found some information that implied that you could find who is the person with the highest and second highest in threat, this information however was on wowexploits.com (I think) and I'm therefore unsure if it will only work on a private server.

I haven't posted the script I'm using as I thought it would be simpler to find out if I can do what I want to do before finding out how to do it.

The code should be checking the auras of the target. The code to do this is, more or less:
for i=1,40 do
    local debuff, _, _, count = UnitDebuff("playertarget", i)
end
For an addon I wrote to check debuffs, I put all of them into a table by adding the following:
if(debuff) then
    self.debufftable[debuff] = count
end
The count then becomes your conditional. Instead of simply checking to see if the debuff is there, you are checking its value. Note that if the debuff doesn't stack, the count will be 0.

Your code to check the debuff can then look something like this: (psudocode)
if(self.debufftable[stackableDebuff] == nil ) then
   red()
elseif(self.debufftable[stackableDebuff] < 5 ) then
   yellow()
elseif(self.debufftable[stackableDebuff] == 5) then
   green()
end

I'm having an issue with Coolline as it relates to dual-spec. My main spec is Mutilate and Coolline shows my cooldowns just fine but when I swap to Combat spec none of my combat cooldowns show up on the timer bar. Is anyone else having a similar issue when swapping specs? I've tried deleting and reinstalling the addon but that didn't work.

I have a Question and depending on answer maybe some advice.

I dont have enough buttons for abilities that are hotkeyed, I can use the buttons: 1,2,3,4,5,q,e effectivly. And i can click on buttons on my ui when i need but for pvp i want more options. Being i cant seem to hit shift if im using numbers i was wondering about foot pedals. I have looked around and was going to buy one and try it using it as a shift so i can double my hotkeys im using. But a friend warned me that wow might not have a set up to map buttons to a pedal, or it just might not work. So im asking if anyone uses footpedals or knows if it would work. And if they do what pedal should i get and will i need software for it?

I'm going to guess that you're talking about that box in the middle of the screen? What addon created it, since none of the ones you've listed are panel-type addons, other than possibly aguf.

Yes, I'm also having the same problem, when trying to set a focus target with Pitbull. I didn't take note of the error message though, so might be different error strings.

Guys i have a question.

Saw on many ui that they use x-pearl for portrait for example and grid for raid frames etc. I want to remove my raid frames (has a choice) and the party frames from x pearl. For party frames has a button that says that we cant see frames in raid. It can be possible to remove from simple party also?
Btw x pearl or pitbull as raid frames? I prefer to have just for me and my target, raid frames with grid just to see the players around, the buffs with brilliance and decurse. And i am asking about those 2 not only for usability but for good updates and ppl interested to improve them.

Then another one. With grid and clique i can have the same job as Decursive ? I mean i want to move and click on the button and then can remove the curse. Is that posible?

For assigning a value to a table index you either use

Table.Value = 'stuff'
or

Table[Value] = 'stuff'
You're using a period and brackets.


This code seems to be wrong or i can't access the table RAID_CLASS_COLORS (thought i don't get any error in that way) however it seems that the structure DB in empty, in fact i'm getting an error after the unpack about nil value.
if for example i insert manually a record in DB:
DB.Paladin = {1,1,1}
then it will work (ofc only for a paladin)
As an aside, the RAID_CLASS_COLORS table has non-localized indexes. The class names are all caps and no spaces, i.e. 'PALADIN', 'DEATHKNIGHT'. You can get this value from the second return of UnitClass(unit).

Why would you want to recreate new table for the values though? You can just access the original table anywhere.

I have been looking up UI sets on WoWInterface for an interface that would work with my laptop (1280x768 screen res) but nearly all are configured for high screen resolution. I have a small screen and I would like more compact action bar. I tried out Roth UI, but it does not quite work, it made everything tiny. But I liked how compact everything is, plus it makes the micromenu disappear when it's not needed. Would love to do that with my actions bars, I tried to do it using Bartender and I couldn't. Tried it with Dominos, I couldn't. Anyone has any suggestions?

To make your bars smaller, or invisible until you move the mouse over them in Bartender, do the following:
  • Type /bt
  • In the list to the left, slect the bar you would like to change the options for.
  • To resize the bar, click on the tab on the right-hand side titled "General Settings" and under "Bar Style & Layout" move the slider for Scale down until the bar is the size you prefer.
  • To make the bar fade when the mouse is not over it, click on the tab labelled "Visibility" and check "Fade Out." After that, move the slider to Fade Out Alpha up or down to change how transparent the bar is when the mouse is not over it.
  • If you don't want a bar to be visible at all, but still want to be able to bind keys and abilities on it, check off "Always Hide" under Visibility.
  • To turn a bar completely off, uncheck "enabled" under "General Settings" for that particular bar.

If everything is still entirely too large for your tastes, try opening the WoW Menu, going to Video options, and under Resolution, check "Use UI Scale" and user the slider beneath to scale the user interface down to a point where it fits your screen comfortably.

What files would I need to copy to a safe location if I wanted to completely reset my UI, but can restore my previous settings if I didn't like my new UI? Obviously the Interface folder, but I thought there were other .txt files that recorded which addons were enabled etc.

I typically just backup the Interface and WTF folders. In my experience they are all i needed to re-install a previous setup.

Mouse wheel mouseover macro.

Ahoy there good people,

I'm looking at a way to keybind my middle mouse wheel press to a mouse over macro, and it seems Blizzard don't like it. I can't quite place the behaviour it's giving me (mouse over a player or target frame does nothing, however mousing over an NPC and then casting puts the buff on myself), but it's not the way I like it eitherway. So basically I'm looking at a mod or macro fix to allow mouse wheel press keybinds to work with mouse over macros, if any.

Thanks in advance!

You have to set focus using /focus command, not right clicking on something and setting through the GUI. Pitbull won't allow it because the game won't allow it.

I've been having a problem with tiptac lately. Fairly often, I when I mouse over a boss and then depress my right mouse button to move my camera around, the boss's nameplate stays stuck up. It will continue to do so until I mouse over something like a friendly player. I don't know where to start to try to fix this, it's gone through several updates and still hasn't been resolved. I haven't seen anyone else talk about it, so I assume it's something on my end. I'm attaching an SS of my addons in case someone spots an incompatibility of some sort.

UI

here is a link of my UI.
http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...g?t=1250354766

I am having a mental fart with all the different addons out there. I am trying to clean this up to make it easier to use and im not having the best of luck.

I am using for my basic UI setup, when in raid it gets clogged.
DBM
Omen
Recount
Bartender 4
Xperl
Prat
Sexy Map

I am looking to create my UI
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6...008betaeh0.jpg

I tried the link on this page but it says no longer available. Im just wondering if there is anything similar to this UI setup out there now and if anyone has a link available, that they wouldnt mind sharing,
Thank you
