I assume by "I can't get the focus frame to work" you mean "if I right click on a unit and select 'SetFocus'" it doesn't work. In that case, no, it won't, not with any addon. Blizzard restricts it to their own frames only. I use a macro that just does "/focus target" to set my focus.

Duilliath · 11/13/09, 4:30 PM

Or you can simply set a hotkey for it in the options. For example Numpad * would do the trick.

This is what it looks like:

Any ideas of what might be causing it, or how to fix it?

Thanks.

Edit to add: Also the macro I use to hide the error frames is not working properly. The macro is this: /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

Found the problem, its Healbot which is causing Blizzard frames to re-appear. Oh well, time to go for Grid + Clique I guess.

Any ideas why this macro doesn't work for vehicle ability #1 (Oculus/ToC5/FL):

/click [bonusbar:5] BonusActionButton1
/stopmacro [bonusbar:5]
/cast [stance:1] Mangle (Bear)()
/cast [stance:3] Prowl
/cast [stance:0/5/6] Starfire

But this one does for ability #2 on the same fights:

/click [bonusbar:5] BonusActionButton2
/stopmacro [bonusbar:5]
/cast [stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral)()
/cast [stance:3] Dash
/cast [stance:0/5/6] Wrath

All other spells work in their forms for both macros.

As weird as it is, could those blank parentheses be causing the problem? They definitely aren't the spell's name and aren't used for setting any sort of target.

Is there a way to get Caiths Pitbull settings to work with Visual Heal, because it is pretty essential in healing

Currently trying to get mirr0r's UI that he posted in the "Share Your Interface" thread but am having no luck. There is no official load command but after totally deleting my Interface and WTF folders and then loading all his folders with the appropriate renaming I just end up with a big ol' mess. What gives? Is there anything else I can deleted (maybe in another folder?) to make sure it all works handy dandy?

What sort of a "big ol' mess" are we talking about here?

Are you running at the same resolution? That could be your #1 problem right there.

Are you positive you used capital letters in the folder names where necessary?

Did you remember to check and make sure all the addons were turned on? Do the addons have individual profile options that you need to select?

harrellj · 11/25/09, 10:08 PM

Also, for the account name, did you use your battle.net account name? Or the non-battle.net account name? It should NOT be the battle.net name.

Sage Masters · 11/25/09, 10:11 PM

Yes, make sure it is your original account name, and it needs to be in ALL CAPS. However, the server and character name do not need to be in caps.

Terces · 11/26/09, 1:00 AM

By big ol mess I mean that non of the addons look the same. Not talking resolution here. And yes I did do my NON battle.net account name in capital letters. Everything after that was normal lettering. All the addons were selected to be on and I shouldn't have to select the individual profiles for each addon.

Sage Masters · 11/26/09, 1:32 AM

I just downloaded LUI v2 and am using it on my Mac. I absolutely love it, even though my screen resolution is 1280x800 and it technically doesnt quite fit. Does any1 know how to move the panels for Grid, Recount, and Omen (as seen here http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw31887.jpg)? I need to move Omen to the left, and Grid and Recount to the left.

@SageMasters: If they were done with KGPanels, use "/kgpanels config" and find each one under "active panels" then unlock it and drag it, or set the position manually in the settings. If it's eePanels2, you'll do pretty much the same thing but with the eePanels config.

If it's LitePanels, I believe you'll need to open up its *.lua files in your favorite text editor and type in your changes there. For any other panel or background mod, I'd say refer to the individual documentation.

@Terces: Have you tried opening the *.lua files in your SavedVariables folder, and changing all instances of his character name with your own? It's not an ideal thing to have to do with a downloaded UI, but it may fix the problem. Notepad++ will let you do a find/replace across all open files if you don't already have a tool to do so, and it's free from a reputable source: NOTEPAD++ on SourceForge

Woah. Sounds like a decent amount of work but I will give it a go! Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Looks like it was a no go. I think I ended up replacing something like 300 instances where his name was and it did not work.

In order to make sure you get all of the instances of his name, see if your code editing program of choice has a "Replace" Option and use that to replace his name with yours.

Terces · 11/26/09, 3:08 PM

So like I mentioned above the replacing character names in the .lua files did not work. I just tried another UI for kicks and same thing... Lol I think my files have become messed up beyond reasoning!

Sage Masters · 11/26/09, 3:17 PM

@ Terces, can you post a screenshot so we can help you better?

Xolhor · 11/26/09, 6:18 PM

I have two programs keeping track of party members. One is the default WoW party list on the top left of the screen, and the other is the Vuhdo healing add-on. I'd like the default party list on the left to simply not be there, as I've seen on many screen shots. How do I accomplish this? Is there something in Vudho that would subsume the default list and only show the Vudho list? Or can I turn off the party list that shows in WoW on the left side of the screen?

Thanks.

Typically that would be handled through a replacement for your unit frames such as Pitbull, XPerl, or ShadowedUF to name a few. However, there are also mods just to hide frames, which might be more to your liking. Here is a small sample of some that will do the trick:

I've managed to get it slightly better. A problem seems to be that the addons I've used in the past and that come with this interface package are still keeping old settings that I had on them from before.

Sage Masters · 11/27/09, 3:54 PM

Did you download the whole compilation or just the addons that you didnt have? I.E. did you keep your old ones that are used in both UIs?

Edit: Did you download it from WoW Interface? Because I noticed this in his post:

Yeah I just downloaded the link he provided. I made sure I deleted my WTF and interface folders before I copied over his so nothing should've been kept that I had previously.

Sage Masters · 11/28/09, 10:29 PM

Then your only option probably is to individually configure each addon until it looks like mirr0rs.

Xolhor · 11/29/09, 12:40 PM

THANK YOU very much Noraj.

Your information is just what I needed. I have installed Xperl but it takes some getting used to. I'll continue to experiment with Xperl, and in the future I may try Pitbull and ShadowedUF to try them out. When I have Xperl turned off I just use HideBlizzard and keep my Vudho up, which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for sharing those hide frame programs.

THANK YOU for responding and the variety of choices you shared.

Hi guys,

I've recently made a new healing UI for my resto druid. For monitoring all of the HoTs, I decided to use a number of Satrina Buff Frames, one for each raid member that only tracks the 4 druid HoTs, and only when cast by me. Not the most efficient of choices, but I couldn't find any other addons that can do it how I want it.

The UI was working great for the last week or so, with no problems at all until today, when suddenly whenever I'm in combat, my FPS drops to about 4 (the reading on SLDT is still showing it being at 40ish though). I've tried various things to find what the exact issue is, and it seems to be related to the 25 raid buff frames I have. If I remove them, the FPS remains normal. I also noticed, that if I am in combat and still have the SBF options frame open, the FPS remains normal even with the 25 raid frames.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what could be wrong, they would be much appreciated. Below is all the relevant information regarding the buff frames.

Each raid buff frame is set to track only buffs for the relevent raid member, showing only whitelisted spells. The whitelisted spells are: Wild Growth, Regrowth, Rejuvenation, and Lifebloom. The whitelisted spells are all set to only show if cast by me.
The frames are also set to only show in a raid (I have tried setting them to always showing, but it made no difference).
The version of SBF which I am currently using is 3.1.20.
I have tried reinstalling the addon completely, I have also tried removing and remaking the frames.

If you need any additional information, then I will do my best to provide it for you.
