//edit: I tried Baggins, which'll work, but prefer the looks on Nivaya.

Do you have the latest version of both Nivaya and CargBags itself? I'm using them and having no problems other than the known one where it gives a stack overload error on login, after getting some lag. Do you have another addon that could be interfering (one that'll stack the contents maybe)?

Is there any way to make Quartz (or other mod) indicate when target cast is non-interruptable, or force it not to show target's cast at all when it can't be interrupted?
Standard nameplate castbar adds shield texture, so i assume it can be used with castbar addons.

In as far as they're on WoWinterface yes. For Nivaya, that's the June update. I didn't use any other bag mod, nor any stacking mod. It's also the mod the seemed to cause an instant kick for certain characters upon entering the game (as in, haven't had it happen since I removed it, but haven't tested extensively enough yet to be certain). Occasionally, bag slots with content would just go 'blank', other than the rarity coloured border and I'd be unable to interact with it.

Baggins seems to do the job, as said, but I prefer Nivaya for looks. On top of that Baggins seems quite a bit larger in size (kB-wise).

I am new to feral and I had a question about macros... wasn't sure if it belonged here or in the UI forums so I am just gonna post it in both...

I want to set up some hotkeys that don't swap from cat / bear... namely Charge / Mangle / Swipe, is there anyway to write and if statement that checks which form I am in and uses the appropriate spell or am I just screwed?

Also is there an easy way to put a maul button in a macro with something like lacerate? Thanks!

#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] !Dire Bear Form
/cast [stance:2] !Aquatic Form
/cast [stance:3] !Cat Form
/cast [stance:4] !Travel Form
/cast [stance:5] !Tree of Life

the above is my macro i use to break nova's etc. it recasts your current form. why i am posting this for you is that it handily labels each stance correctly too. However moonkin and tree of life both share [stance:5]. so for a charge button for both kitty and bear would look somethign like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [stance:3] feral charge (cat)
/cast [stance:1] feral charge (bear)

hope that helps

This functionality was added when I updated Quartz, I now have a silver boarder around cast bars I can't interrupt. A quick search showed this in the update log.

r21 | cmtitan | 2009-08-26 10:24:01 +0000 (Wed, 26 Aug 2009) | 2 lines
Changed paths:
M /trunk/Quartz.lua
A /trunk/textures/Tooltip-BigBorder.blp

Added default texture as used by the code for uninterruptible cast bars.

I'm looking for a replacement for Advanced Trade Skill Window. I've been having a lot of problems with it over the past couple of patches. Mostly using the list and clicking on what i want to craft. There has been a few times where the entire list bugs out as well. It just doesn't work like it used to. It still works in the current patch but i can't use it for what i downloaded it for anymore.

Erpgore · 10/10/09, 5:46 AM

I've swapped over to Producer Producer : WoWInterface Downloads : TradeSkill Mods and although the drop-down method of usage took a little getting used to, it works perfectly for me.

I use a combination of Skillet and Lil Sparky's workshop. Skillet was quasi-abandoned and the author of LSW has branched it and it works well with LSW. Can find both the Sparky branch and LSW on wowace.

I'm looking for a mod to track specified debuffs on target/focus as well as raidbuffs - compiled on very little space.

~how it should look like
It should basically track the necessary debuffs+durations as well as "equal effect" debuffs as indicated.

I haven't found anything like this until now, wondering if any of you knows a fitting mod.
DebuffGuardian - Addons - Curse comes kind of close functionality wise, but its awful to look at. (imho)

You should be able to do this with Satrina's Buff Frames by white and blacklisting what you do and don't want to see. I'm not sure how far the logic in it will go to let you cover things like "Ok, Blessing of Might is up, so don't worry about showing me Battleshout," but it may well be possible.

Looking for a mod that will track spamy addons like Carbonite, Gearvalue, Gatherer in raid environment. I know there is only one small plug for Fubar, but I don't use Fubar since introduction of LibDataBroker addons. Is there any single addon for that or should I bridge fubar plug via Fubar to Broker addon?

I use Auracle to do this. Mangle+Trauma on one tracker, etc etc. I haven't used it for buffs, so can't vouch it'll do that as well.

Fubar2Broker translates Fubar plugins to LDB: FuBar2Broker - Addons - Curse

Madlax · 10/13/09, 2:44 PM

Cheers for Auracle, working like a charm for both debuffs and buffs at once.
To add a screenshot how it currently looks like for me:
Imageshack - auracle

Almost all of them are default options(which is very neat), I just played around with the 4th line to get BoP, BoS, PS and GS in as well.

Lantador · 10/14/09, 12:31 AM

Im currently using procodile (link) to track internal CDs of stuff like mjollnir runestone and dmc: greatness.

The addon works fine, except for one issue. When I log out and back in, it reverts the textures of its cooldownbars and aurabars back to its default. Every other setting is saved perfectly well.

I have this idea that perhaps this is some kind of SharedMedia conflict/setting, but I have no clue how to fix it. I have no write-protected files in any folders (did a thorough check).

I am trying to find an easy/simple way to make an UI that changes depending on the resolution. I am playing WoW on my macbook wiith Snow Leopard - Mac OSX (I doubt this is really releveant) and I have recently gotten an external monitor 24". I can play with 1280x800 resolution on my mac, and my monitors native resolution is 1920x1080. What I want to do is when I have my monitor available, to play WoW on the monitor and when the monitors is not available - i.e. at office, school, etc. - on the macbook's screen, which of course creates a whole bunch of problems because of the resolution change.

The idea would be able to change some ui elements automatically or manually according to the resolution. Anyone has any idea? I tried trying reflux, but it tries to create profiles for all the addons which is not really required in this case - and creates a big deal of unnecessary changes to addon setup with too many addons.

I'm trying to make two edit boxes with a / in between, using the following code:

	editbox = CreateFrame("EditBox", nil, AuctionFrameAuctions, "InputBoxTemplate")
	editbox:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", AuctionFrameAuctions, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -343, 34)
	editbox:SetAutoFocus(false)
	editbox:SetHeight(18)
	editbox:SetWidth(30)
	editbox:SetNumeric(true)

	editbox = CreateFrame("EditBox", nil, AuctionFrameAuctions, "InputBoxTemplate")
	editbox:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", AuctionFrameAuctions, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -383, 34)
	editbox:SetAutoFocus(false)
	editbox:SetHeight(18)
	editbox:SetWidth(30)
	editbox:SetNumeric(true)

	text = AuctionFrameAuctions:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontHighlight")
	text:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", AuctionFrameAuctions, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -378, 32)
	text:SetText("/")

It's copied almost verbatim from auctioneer, and it kind of works. However, I have a stripe over the second edit box a I create:

If I reverse the order in which I create the edit boxes, the stripe moves to the other edit box and if I increase the size of the edit box, the stripe gets larger as well. What am I doing wrong?

I am looking for a replacement Buff/deBuff addon. I am currently using EBB, and I dont really like it all that much. Any suggestions?

I personally like Satrina's Buff Frames.

_____________________________________

I'm currently using Sexy Cooldown to show my cooldowns. i really like this because it will (in a bar form) also show the remaining time on debuffs that I apply to a person/boss. However, I was wondering does anyone know of an addon that will do the same for a friendly target and show me their debuffs in a bar like this. I am 90% of the time healing so this would be really useful.

Taidaisher · 10/19/09, 8:21 PM

I'm looking for an addon that will let me know when my procs/DoTs hit and the time left on each tick. I've been using needtoknow & Power Auras together. PA seems to be good at tracking my Dots but not as good at tracking my procs. Needtoknow is good at tracking my procs, but wasn't able to (at least, I wasn't able to make it) track my DoTs without confusing them with another DKs.
Using both together was working ok, with HoW & my gear procs I had 3 or 4 procs. I have since then upgraded some gear (2pT9 set bonus, DMC: Greatness, BoF) and needtoknow is limited to a total of 6 items per set. I have been using 2 sets stacked on top of each other to track my procs (AM, UF, UM, US, HoW, Greatness, Fury) & group/raid "procs" (heroism, etc.) but that is really clogging up my screan. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try a separate buff frame in Satrina's Buff Frames for the procs. Don't think it'll actually show you ticks for your dots, but NTK didn't do that either anyway.

SeanDamnit · 10/21/09, 3:35 AM

I'm using Roth's UI package with the oUF D3 Orbs/unit frames. I'm looking to make the focus target show health % instead of health deficit. I don't know LUA, but can usually figure it out...but I can't seem to get this going. I'm assuming I need to add "local d = floor(min/max*100)" to wherever the focus target's health update code is, but I can't find it.

Any advice?

EDIT - Problem solved...in case anyone else needs to know, search up:
--create the focus, pet and party style

and add this line:
self:Tag(hpval, "[perhp]%")

I have a bit of an odd question. I'm currently using the default blizzard action bars, and I don't really want to switch off from them currently. However, I use broker factions currently to watch my faction rep, but I just installed ouf_reputation to go with my ouf layout. Since ouf_reputation only tracks what the blizzard faction watcher does, it doesn't integrate nicely with broker factions to update automatically on rep gain. As a result, I'm currently testing out Fizzwidget FactionFriend : WoWInterface Downloads : Quest/Leveling/Reputation Mods which is supposed to. But, I don't want the faction bar to appear on the blizzard action bars. Is there a way to remove the faction bar (and experience bar too, for my low level characters) from the blizzard action bars? Preferably something lighter weight if possible.
