Thanks I resolved this issue.

The problem was that ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED is called if you log back into the game while your secondary spec is the active one.

trying to figure out what this addon is for raid frames is;

thought it was grid, but how the hell do you get it to look like that if it is..

EDIT: cropped part of someone else's ui and used paint to paste it.. so thats why its white :<

justacityboy · 09/01/09, 6:36 PM

How do you turn off (if possible) the drunken zoom/out wobbleness of being drunk? I drink the +25 SPI beer from DM for raids and its annoying to wobble a bit.

I don't understand. He simply toyed with fonts, colors and sizes. It most definitely is Grid.

No clue what else it would be other than Grid. Looks pretty normal to me.

One of the options in Video -> Effects. I forgot which one, as I've turned everything off for the most part, but I remember people disabling it for the Spider boss in Zul'Gurub (Mar'li iirc).

Yep, that would be grid alright. Other than changing the sizes of the frames themselves, they hit "invert bar color" and have class colors set for both the unit name and the health bar, as well as setting frame orientation to be horizontal. Likely the bar texture was changed too.

So I am having a bit of an issue with the way I track my incombat procs such as greatness card/sword enchant proc etc etc.
My issue is that I am using power auras classic for easy and smooth overview on when to roll those first diseases. However, a problem has arisen. The DK t9 2piece bonus buff is called "Unholy Strength". This, sadly is also the buff name of the sword enchant proc. So for me there is no way to distinguish one from the other.
I have tried any number of ways to set it up but quite frankly there is no way to tell them apart asides from their icon.
So yeah, I am a bit stumped and feel a bit smacked over the head because tracking the buff doesn't work in an effective manner.

Any insight or tips on what to do short of bugging blizzard to rename the buff to something better?

Duilliath · 09/02/09, 5:26 AM

Had the same issue with berserking and druid berserk. DoTimer seemed to track it right, but I abandoned it when it was broken once again in one of the more recent patches. Instead I added a separate buff bar in Satrina Buff Frames, where I added 'berserking' - among some other important buffs, and display that right beneath my character's feet (and above the player frame). It will still show *both* of them, but you have the icon in plain sight.

Use the Aura IDs to combine the checks. The DK T9 2p bonus is id 67117, the weapon is 53365, and the DPS relic is 67383.

That look can also be done in a reletively new mod thats sits somewhere between grid and healbot called VuhDo (VuhDo : WoWInterface Downloads : Raid Mods).

It is alot easier to configure than grid too imo.

Radubadu · 09/03/09, 11:17 AM

I've been using healbot for heroics and absolutely love it. Last night I was convinced to try healing VOA (which I'm horribly undergeared for but they were desparate). I tried to add the two tanks to "My Targets" which is one of the functions I love about it but it seemed to cut out 3 other members from the raid.

I tried reloading my UI and it didn't help. Thankfully, I have everything set up with mouseover macros so I managed but I prefer actually clicking, is there something that I'm missing with this function that caused that or am I doing something horribly wrong?

Evening, I just spent some time redesigning my UI, the most significant change I made was moving the chat frames from the bottom to the top of my screen. Thanks to those annoying chat tabs though it won't let me move the frames closely enough to the top edge, they keep sliding back to make room for the tabs whenever I try to move them any further.
"Forceful" attempts to place them as desired reset after relogging, any ideas how to get this working?

Make your own add-on and use this as the code:

SlashCmdList["CHATPOSITION"] = function()   
    ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
    ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 6, 7)
    ChatFrame1:SetWidth(475)
    ChatFrame1:SetHeight(125)
    ChatFrame1:SetUserPlaced(true)
end
SLASH_CHATPOSITION1 = "/chatpos"

And just tweak the co-ordinates to where you want your chat to be, then just type /chatpos to move your chat.

Irox · 09/04/09, 8:28 PM

All right, I should be able to modify this so it places all of my chat frames at the correct positions automatically at start-up, just didn't know where to start at all. Big thanks for the hint!

Is there any trick to getting clean 1px borders around buttons, using BF skins?

I am using the NotCaith skin, and 0.64 scaling. I've tried all sorts of different scale settings for the action bars, but it seems that some buttons will always end up with one border side being blurry or faded.

I see lots of great UIs that have clean, un-blurred button skins. How do I get this effect?

Does any one know how to mess with lua files to remove druids' TF, Berserk and OoC bars from EventHorizon?

Hello!

I would like to get the default damage font back.
Its been a while since i installed WoW, and i changed the font alot of times
and now i want the default back, and i can't seem to get it back.

I don't mind using a addon to change it, atm i'm using Clearfont so i can change the other
fonts.. stats, names, etc.

Any help would be awesome.
Thank you.

If you've always just used Clearfont to change your fonts, and never touched the fonts in the folder at /Worldofwarcraft/font then all you need to do is remove clearfont and it will set everything back to the default font settings.

If you've changed the fonts in the WoW font folder, you're going to need to replace them with the default ones which you can just copy over from a PTR.

You can just delete the Fonts folder. It's an override, the fonts themselves are contained somewhere internally (either the client or MPQ files, not sure.)

Hey Guys,

Need some help. I have an Addon called SPYDON(Spydon : WoWInterface Downloads : Developer Utilities) I was wondering if anyone uses it and has found a way of moving the chat frame. I have exhausted my efforts. I run chatter, does it have something to do with not being able to move this addon?

Open Spydon.xml in a text editor and play with the first set of <Anchors> tags:

		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="BOTTOMLEFT" RelativeTo="ChatFrame1" RelativePoint="TOPLEFT">
				<Offset>
					<AbsDimension x="0" y="32"/>
				</Offset>
			</Anchor>
		</Anchors>

I am trying to modify the width of my grid raid frames based on the number of raid/party members. I am firing off the script within kgpanels OnEvent, and I have been able to swap profiles with a Grid:SetProfile("40_man_bg"), but a similar Grid:SetWidth(120) isn't working.

Macanam · 09/15/09, 9:48 AM

Hi there, I've been fiddling around with Satrina Buff Frames to make it show certain buffs in a separate buff frame. I did this by selecting a frame for the specific spells i wanted to be shown. However, the problem with doing this is that the buffs also appear if my current target has one of the buffs.

For example, I set Buff Frame 4 (Which is a large frame just to the left of my character) to show heroism and bloodlust (I added bloodlust for the purposes of faction champions). But if i target someone who has either of these buffs, whether I have them or not, they are displayed in the frame.

Another issue I get is that buffs which are stacked seem to be shown repeatedly, but only if the target has them. For example, I targetted a shaman who had Water Shield active (this was one of the spells i attributed to a specific frame), and it showed the buff icon 3 times, all of which were saying 3 stacks. The same goes for Arcane Blast. However, if I am the one that has the buff/debuff then it only shows in the frame once with the number of stacks.

Basically, I would like to know if there is another way of configuring the addon to work in the same way but without showing the buffs/debuffs when my enemy has them.
