KaitUI

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Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.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

Does the layout change to accommodate the new bar though? (like the screenshot for v1.2 on the homepage)

No, it just stays the one bar system.

But is there a space for the 2nd action bar (i.e. the bar itself may have no icons on it yet and therefore be blank)? If you install from the latest files then there will be the layout that has space for the 2nd bar.

When you drag it off it's blizzard bar, and onto another bar or just remove it from the bar completely, does it come back next time you respec? Failing that, try fiddle with Bartender.

Kind regards!

If you look in Addons > GridLayouts > GridLayouts.lua you'll find that it looks something like this:

Code:

local GridLayout = Grid:GetModule("GridLayout")

GridLayout:AddLayout("Kait Single Column", {
	[1] = {
		groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
		groupBy = "CLASS",
		groupingOrder = "HUNTER,WARRIOR,DEATHKNIGHT,ROGUE,MONK,PALADIN,DRUID,SHAMAN,PRIEST,MAGE,WARLOCK",
		unitsPerColumn = 40,
		maxColumns = 1,
	},
})

That is what makes it be sorted by class, so that's what you need to edit. How exactly to do that I don't know, so you'll have to look it up or ask on a forum. Having said that, looking it up isn't super easy because it's not really an independent addon, it's just a feature of Grid...

...So here are some examples I found:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/grid/pa...customization/
This was the 2009 thread I used to hack together the single column layout originally:
http://forums.curseforge.com/showthread.php?t=17849

And also if you look in Addons > Grid > Layouts.lua (Layouts, not Layout) the default layouts are in there as examples.

Back up the file before you edit if you're unsure.

Hope that helps :-)

One thing I do remember is that trying to get SLDT to do what it is supposed to (i.e. what it's features describe) was hell. It has bugs, that's for sure. Sadly I could never find an alternative addon to use. :-(

Alright, I figured it out. I went into the WTF file and change it to the profile I was using.

Thanks for the reply in advance.

No problem :-) The unit frames are Stuf. I had to edit the addon slightly so that the frames are positioned from center bottom instead of top right. A side effect of tthat edit is that I think if you use the sliders to reposition the frames in the Stuf config, they act kinda funky. Move the frames by just editing the number values instead.

Is there any reason this may be happening? I'm doing everything correctly, I've had several custom UI in the past. My monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080.

*also tiny side note, was wondering how to access the kaitui settings and if unit frames and such are customizable?

Try to switch screen mode from the login page (the first one, where you enter your password).

The settings are part of all the various addons that I used.

You have to go into the kgpanels config and set a script for that button. Check the other buttons to get the jist of it. (i forget what the button panels are called, but it's probably something with popup and rollover in the name).

As to how specifically to get other addons to do things with a script, you'll have to ask the addon authors. You're essentially calling a function of the other addon, so you have to dig around to find what the function is called (or ask people who know).

[EDIT - and then edit the graphic with photoshop/whatever so that the no longer empty button says what you want it to :-) ]

Joking aside... I spend a lot of time making UIs for WoW. If I can get even a tiny amount of money for it then it would help make doing it easier to justify. I realise that nobody really wants to pay for something that's available free elsewhere, and that's fine. It's just a thought.
