I am using Dominos, and it seems that the Sticky Bars option has stopped working. Anybody experience the same? It becomes hardger to get everything arranged properly with it not working as needed.

Edit: Looks like a Dominos released an update that fixed it.

I'm looking for an addon that can keep track of raid rotations (meaning people who sit on the bench because the raid is oversubscribed). Ideally it would have some sort of integration with an eqdkp site but that's not mandatory.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking of a standalone version of the 'Assist View Monitor', that is part of the X-Perl addon. I would like to have it in order to see, who is slumping on target switches during the fight. A damage analysis after the fight is most of the time inaccurate for this.

I'm sure many of you have the combat log bug issue where it randomly stops working. I seem to get it like every 2-3 match's its very annoying. Anyway way to fix it?

WOW macros

I use the macro feature of WOW including the castsequence command for most of my spells but have heard that this introduces significant delay because before each sequence in the command can be triggered, it needs a response from the server that the previous one fired. Does anyone know about the average time lost by using this command instead of just casting the base spells? Also, is there an add-on that could address my desire to have a macro to chain my commands without the performance loss? Any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for some help with PitBull 3.0.

I want to change my Frames to (Ideally) look similar to something like THIS. I'm quite boggle as to how to do this (I know that the PB shown here is possibly out-dated, but I'm sure it can still be done!)

Your screenshot is of one of Caith's earlier UIs. Here's his new one.

He's using Pitbull with a few great DogTags (text/icons) and kgPanels (extra graphics). I'd use his latest version since learning how to build it yourself is quite an undertaking.

I have been UI farming and I came across this one on these forums. I PST the author but he has yet to reply and its been like 3 months. Anyways... I know of a few addons being used in this UI:

Grid
Recount
SexyMap
Prat - I think

&

the others I am not sure on. I know that the cast bars are either Dominos or Bartender; but what about every thing else. I if can get a reply as to what the addon use to customize the workspace and box everything that is what would be most useful to me.

Example :

Bartender could I suppose, though I honestly have no idea why you'd even want to consider that. Catform alone will fill close to two complete action bars.

Probably some "panels' addon, basically creating boxes that your scalling and fitting the other addons into.

No, I use an addon KeyChange - Addons - Curse to let me bind keys directly to spells/macros, as opposed to buttons. And I remember all my hotkeys so I have no need to have many of the spells that would normally appear on actionbars.

Thing is, I also use nMainbar : WoWInterface Downloads : Action Bar Mods which also modifies my actionbars so I'm not sure if Bartender will be compatible with it. But I'll try anyways, thank you.

So being a fan of mouseover macros, I'm finding my per-character macro-space filling up very quickly, especially with dual specs. Has anyone run across a good macros per spec addon? The closest I've found were MacroBank & perhaps Macaroon, though they're not exactly I'm looking for. Any other suggestions?

Take a look at BindPad. Although the addon description doesn't indicate it, I believe you can set up macros per spec.

Edit: This won't work for you if you want your macros on an actionbar, though.

I appreciate that this is not what you're asking for pre se, but if you add the [spec:1] [spec:2] conditionals to your macros you can halve the macros you need e.g

/cast [spec:1] spell 1
/use [spec:1] item 1
/cast [spec:2] spell 2
/use [spec:2] item 2

would cast spell 1 and use item 1 if you're in your primary spec and spell 2 and item 2 if you're in your secondary.
ofc there's no reason why you can't basically combine 2 completely different macros into 1 in this way, so long as they really are spec dependent. Worth considering if you struggle to find a direct answer to your question.

Does anyone know an addon that's able to filter the combatlog for certain words/names as source, target, effect etc. (think of excels autofilter) the way SWS_UniLog used to do?
I don't know if the standard combatlog is able to do this but if it does it does so in a very complicated and unintuitive way. There has been an attempt to create such an addon with GridLogged : WoWInterface Downloads : Combat Mods. Unfortunatly it never really worked as well as SWS_Unilog did and has been abandoned since then.

Thanks for the tips, I already use bindpad for a number of binds, but in this case I'm looking for something to put onto the bars. I hadn't considered using spec modifiers but I might be able to make that work, thanks =)

Midnight, RDX had something very close to SWS_UniLog called Omniscient I believe; I'm not sure if the project was updated when it went to OpenRDX, but it may be worth some digging.

Check out KgPanels. You can create standard background frames of any size as well as import custom art as textures.

Hey

Hello guys, lately in 25man raids i have problems with my game performance, basicly even my fps isnt too bad i feel some kind of lag, its not MS/FPS it more feels like CPU being raped by game.
Basicly i took screen shot of how much my addons were taking during combat, and u can also see list of them all, and if someone whos good with this stuff tells me if theres something wrong with it and which of addons i could replace.
Btw fact that on picture i got 1fps is due to enabled addon which shows me all addon usage and cpu profiling.
Out of combat im usualy on 62 capped fps for me, in 10man raids on about ~45fps and 25 man on 15-30fps.
MS that i had is usualy like that just on days when my realm is lagging like hell due to being very much overfilled with ppl.

PC Conf:
2x1gb ddr2 800
AMD Atlon 6k+ working on 3.1k x2
Ati Asus 3850HD
Win XP sp3






-For now im considering changing AG unit frames as i just saw they are last updated 5 monts ago, and few guildies told me they had problems with this unit frames addon, that is also affecting PC performance more then for eg Xperl, Shadowed, pitbull etc,
Which of Unit frames addon is basicly light,efficient and again highly customizable, regulary uptaded and popular?

-Also looking into that picture i got feeling that IceHud is using quite some cpu and im having it just for energy bar to be near middle of my screen, is there some addon i could replace IceHud energy bar with, like energy bar that i could put anywhere on screen, adjust it to look how i want, size it etc.

-I'm thinking of removing Grid as im DPS class that doesnt rly have to know whos alive etc, well i would pref to know, but not if its addon that is quite heavy on PC performance?

-I also noticed that i have the Prat High CPU usage modules running. I tryed to find it inside addon settings where u can switch modules, but i couldnt find it, and from what i saw i have very few basic modules up and running, other ones are not loaded. Did i missed something? can i lower my Prat usage without loosing basic chat functions?

-And last question, are Cooldown timers 2 using much of memory/cpu on this picture? and as its also one of addons that isnt rly getting updated what should be best replacement for it, light, and higly customizable

Thanks

Two computers, one account: Syncing Addon Settings

I have a desktop and a laptop. My settings for my addons on my desktop are all set up. I copy my WTF/Interface files to my laptop, yet most of my addon settings are not visible in game. Ie. my auctioneer settings, chatter settings, quickactions3 settings. Some other settings do transfer though. What am I doing wrong?

You can try oUF for a lightweight unitframe. As for prat, one of the tabs when you open it up is the various modules. I could be recalling wrong (at work currently), but I thought each had a symbol or a warning if it was a high CPU module. However, Prat having high CPU usage in the middle of a raid with all sorts of communication coming through the chat window shouldn't be terribly shocking.

I personally like Shadowed Uit Frames and I've tried them all.

-Also looking into that picture i got feeling that IceHud is using quite some cpu and im having it just for energy bar to be near middle of my screen, is there some addon i could replace IceHud energy bar with, like energy bar that i could put anywhere on screen, adjust it to look how i want, size it etc.
I use Energy Monitor for my Rogue and Druid. It hasn't been updated in a while but it still works and it does everything you ask.

-I'm thinking of removing Grid as im DPS class that doesnt rly have to know whos alive etc, well i would pref to know, but not if its addon that is quite heavy on PC performance?
If you go with Shadowed Unit Frames then you can get rid of Grid.

-I also noticed that i have the Prat High CPU usage modules running. I tryed to find it inside addon settings where u can switch modules, but i couldnt find it, and from what i saw i have very few basic modules up and running, other ones are not loaded.

Try Chatter - it does everything Prat does and uses less resources.

-And last question, are Cooldown timers 2 using much of memory/cpu on this picture? and as its also one of addons that isnt rly getting updated what should be best replacement for it, light, and higly customizable
2MB does seem kinda high to me. Since you are already using AzCastBar why don't you try using the Cooldown plugin from here.
