KaitUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.1
by: Kaitain1977 [More]

The only resolution that is supported is 1920x1080. Most other resolutions should still work, but I can't guarantee it. You may have to adjust the layout a bit yourself.

As WeakAuras is part of the UI upload, back up / export your own WAs before installing.

KaitUI is beer-powered. If it runs out of beer, it stops working.

Cheers!



Step 1

Backup your current UI. Do this by opening your WoW folder and moving the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder to a safe place elsewhere on your hard drive. If things go wrong later, put these folders back into your WoW folder and all will be as it was.

Step 2

Unzip the download and move the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder into your WoW folder

Step 3

Inside the WTF folder you will find folders that are name WTF > Account > ACCOUNTNAME > SavedVariables. Rename the folder called ACCOUNTNAME to be whatever your account name is. If you are unsure what to name it, check the folders that you backed up in Step 1.

Step 3.5

Go to https://www.tukui.org/download.php?ui=elvui and download ElvUI. Once you've unzipped the download, put the two folders into your Interface>Addons folder.

Step 4

Start WoW. On the character selection screen, click the Addons button in the bottom left, then in the top right of the panel that pops up

Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.

Make sure ALL addons in the list are enabled

Step 5

Once you are in the game, ElvUI will be propting you with instalation stuff.

Click SKIP PROCESS

Step 6

Once Elv has reloadui your UI, you might need to use the Raid Frame Menu (second from right of the footer buttons) to change raid frames to one of the presets

Also -
I just found a small issue with the buffs - If when targeting yourself the buff and debuffs top left and top right aren't symmetrical, go to ElvUI (/elvui) > Buffs & Debuffs, and disable. It will ask you to reloadui.


When using KaitUI, you can safely update these addons:

ElvUI
Raven
WeakAuras2
Plexus
DynamicCam
MoveAnything


+ any others that you add yourself

But do NOT try to update these:

kgPanels
Plexus Layouts
SharedMedia
KaitMedia



NOTES

- Open WeakAuras with /wa for now (not the menu).
Opening WeakAuras config with the menu first causes it to appear with items missing from the aura list. Collapse/uncollapse something in the list and it will immediately fix it. After the config has been opening once it should be fine all subsequent times.

- there are some hidden bars (including bar1) to the right of the main action bar. These are bars for keybinds. The main visible bar is for showing cooldowns. The assumption is that you know what your keybinds are.

- the pet bar and class power bars kind of ruin the elegance of the player frame area. I personally will be using weakauras to show them in a more contextual way, but I thought I'd leave the Elv versions visible as default in case anyone got confused.

- The 3D model of you character on the Spec/Talents screen is positioned as if your character is a female night elf. For some other races, specifically small races, your player model might be way off. I'll make a tutorial on how to fix that soon, but basically you have to exlude your race from loading on the main KaitUI Talents > Player aura, duplicate it and make the new aura only load for your race, then adjust the XYZ display values. Don't use the slider's though, edit the texts, because you have to do it blind. When in WA config, it's not showing you the model right.


Suggested additional addons:

Opie is a wonderfully elegant solution for using things like potions, crafting, etc. I notice a lot of games bind icon wheel interfaces to the C key (like Overwatch), so if you do that with OPie it feels very natural.

Clique Do more with your mouse when healing. Not really necessary if you never heal.

2.1.1 Removed ElvUI files (needs to be downloaded from ElvUI site, because ElvUI).

2.1 Updated for Shadowlands

1.2 - Added a new action Bar below the main bar (this was often requested). Changed the layout so that quest tracking is not back on the right, DPSer raid frames on the left. This was so I could remove the code making the minimap hiding and raid frames interact. My code was buggy and crap, and now it's gone. Hurray! UIscaler addon removed because it seemed to not be working anymore.

1.1 - Updated for patch 6.1. Some addons updated, some TOCs updated, some WeakAuras changes and updates

1.0.2 - Changed scripts in KaitMedia addon and in kgPanels that relate to Grid so that (hopefully) nothing freaks out too badly if you don't have Grid installed (i.e. if you want to use a different raid addon). The popup panels for changing Grid profiles won't do anything for you without Grid, but at least they aren't going to cause errors. Uou need Grid enabled to run /kaitinstall. Install the profiles then switch your raid addon afterwards.


1.0.1 - Updated KaitMedia script to fix a non-English client bug. Updated some kgPanels scripts to fix a non-English client bug. Added Clampy's focus bar WeakAura for hunters. Stopped Party Frames (P) button from causing error when not in a group.

1.0 - Updated some kgPanels scripts. Added some new WeakAuras bars for moonkin and demon warlock. Added some graphics to the KaitMedia folders. Changed the KaitInstaller script. Removed Opie, Bindpad and Dominos, and added Bartender4.

0.7.1 - Updated some kgPanels scripts to cause less lua errors

If not better to just kill it off)
Thanks Kaitan for your help

I have one more question. My target's cast bar is now at the top of my screen, and I would like to move it. I tried with moveanything, but I haven't found how to do... Can you please explain to me ? Thank you very much again !
It's a WeakAuras group called "Cast Bar Target". Type /wa, then find it in the list on the right (it may be in the unloaded section at the bottom. iirc I made it only load when in instances). Click on the group then you can drag it around on screen.

Not sure what caused it

It's caused when you kill the previous Lich King I think :-P

Go to /wa, then in the group called "UI grp Talents" there is an aura called Player (unless you renamed it, see below for the problem that might cause). In Trigger tab, go to Duration Info and delete that script. Then go to Display tab and check the "Show model of unit" checkbox at the top.

(the duration code was written as a way of getting the aura to show the player model before InfusOnWow added the "Show model of unit" feature. The problem with the duration code is that if you rename the aura it doesn't work (the code refers to the aura by name)).

ok i dont know why this is happening but everytime i try to activate "Fullscreen - Windowed Mode" in you UI, my WOW just instantly crashes. everything else works just fine and i love your UI but this is really weird because it really happens only when i switch to windowed mode.

I would start by updating your graphic card drivers, wouldn't hurt to check for an update to your chipset, sound ect I had this error ages ago and simply updating my graphics card driver fixed, in my experience this error is almost always driver related, or a bug within the wow client itself.

Why does the reputation bar sometimes decide to go off on vacation, and how on earth can I fix it without reinstalling the entire UI, as I've had to do several times so far? D:

If I alter the TargetTarget and Focus frames in Stuf, they will be positioned fine until I reload, then they are placed at the very bottom right of the screen.




Kait, you are an inspiration and I want to have baby UI's with your UI's. Thanks for being awesome.

@Commix and @LiNK2088 - You can do it using the Sexymap settings, but I wouldn't if I were you. Reason is that there is a script in kgPanels config > Active Panels > Button6 > Scripts > OnClick to set how the Grid DPSer RaidFrames move up and down to take the space where the minimap was... you'll have to edit that to. But that script (and several others in the kgPanels profile) are a bit of mindfuck. Or they were to me anyways. So only edit them if mindfucks are your thing :-)

One other person contacted me with this problem. I had such problems with this addon to try and get the UI looking nice. Honestly, XPBarNone and SLDT together must have delayed the release of the UI by about a month :-( The main problem is that (a) it's a bit of a flaky mod, but there are so so few XP bar mods to choose from, and (b) it has no anchoring setting, so I had to hack it, and I probably did it badly.

So, to try and fix it, try this:

Download XPBarNone from the internet and copy it into the Addons folder. (keeping the same old SavedVariables file so it will still look the same). Then when in game, open the XPBarNone config panel, unlock it, move the bar to where it needs to be, lock it again. /reload.

If that doesn't work, try also kill the Saved variables file for it (WTF > Account > ACCOUNTNAME > SavedVariables > XPBarNone.lua) then configure it in game yourself to look like mine and fit in the space I made for it.

Let me know if either of those work.

I just tried it and it works fine for me. It could be that your read/write permissions have gone bad on the WTF folder or maybe even just the Stuf saved variables file. Have a look and see if you can fix it that way.

EDIT: Messing around a bit more with the settings in-game with Stuf, I think it's either an issue with Stuf or some sort of conflict between Stuf and another active addon. When I move the frame to the desired location it will stick. If I select something like Fast Health Updates, it jumps back into the lower corner. I don't know what gives, but I'm hoping to sleuth my way through it. Sorry to have bothered you with it, Kait.

SORRYANOTHEREDIT: Apparently when I Toggle Drag a frame it's not changing the x,y units no matter where I drop the frame, the x,y units in the Stuf frame always reflect the same coordinate. if I change the location using the slide bars everything is fine.

Which boss mod are you planning to add? I myself am a fan of BigWigs.

Btw, updating to the latest Grid beta totally destroys the layouts, I do not recommend it lol

Small problem

Great addon! Great work!

There is a small issure, the place where displaying the place's name, in the middle and little above the screen, was displaying a "(" whatever I go. can you tell me which addon should I check?

I thought it maybe the "Move Anything"?

Thx!

Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure what you mean.

You need to drag the tabs out so that it breaks off and forms a new window. The try to get one that is ChatFrame4 when you check with /framestack
