Looking for Unit Frame Addon

Ruqas · 04/27/08, 6:01 PM

I've decided to make this post out of frustration. I have tried many UI mods such as Pitbull, and XPerl. However, for whatever reason, I cannot stand them. I play a rogue, and I think the thing that bothers me the most is the different way the combo points are displayed.

That's the problem, and my question is: Is there a Unit Frame Addon that will allow me to simply move Blizzard's default Unit Frames? That's all I need really. If I could find that, I would have renewed vigor in making a new UI for myself. I have tried many times before, but I always just scrap it all because I can't see the combo points or my current energy in the different way that Pitbull/XPerl displays them.

Do you know that you can display combo points as a simple number rather than graphical dots? I always preferred that.

There are also standalone mods that only display combo points. Try BasicComboPoints or NinjaPoints, both at Ace.

I'm not sure what you're looking for in combo point display (numbers/dots?), but I recently finished off my CP addon which is numeral display only. It allows you to move a customized frame, change the colors, and the fonts of the numbers, as well as the sizes. BasicComboPoints World of Warcraft Addons - WowAce.com

For moving the blizz Unit Frames, I think SimpleUnitFrames from wowace might still work? I personally have my own semi-developed one on the wowace branches called BasicUF Revision 71841: /branches/BasicUF/Ace3 (moves the frames and adds a class icon), but I doubt you will want to fiddle with that.

Other than that I guess there are also a few non-ace3 alternatives on curse/wowi I'm not aware of.

EDIT: Beaten by tsigo apparently.

Thanks for the help, but the whole point of my dilemma is I don't want the combo points to be displayed any differently. I want them with the same border, same curving shape. I'll check SimpleUnitFrames, but if anyone has a better developed addon to contribute, please do. It really is quite annoying and disheartening to have redone your UI as many times as I have putting in so much work then scrapping it all because of the unite frames.

Edit: SimpleUnitFrames does not allow me to move the frames at all. Only adds obsolete information display options.

YAY! I am so excited to begin making my UI! I found just the thing I was looking for. Absolutely perfect!

Its name is MoveIt. It allows me to move around my Unit Frames just as they are. The combo points can even be moved seperately just in case I ever want to mix it in with Pitbull. SICK!

Now I'm going to pick up Align and a Bar addon and get to work.

CT_Mod has movable unit frames as well, they're basically just enhanced WoW frames. I also reccomend using SCT to show when you gain combo points, it'll be something like <Combo Points: 3> and scroll upwards so you won't even need to look at a unitframe or specific area to see the amount of CPs you have.
