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Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.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

To fix this, you will need to comment out some lines in AddOns\SLDataText\Elements\coords.lua

Just open up the coords.lua file in a text editor like notepad or notepad++

Look for lines 24 thru 35. This is where the error occurs. To fix it, simply comment out lines 25 thru 34 (using --). DO NOT comment out lines 24 AND 35.

So, it should look like this:

Code:

function SLDT.Coords:Refresh()
--	if ( db.enabled or SLDataText.db.profile.configMode ) then
--		if ( not self.firstRun ) then self.firstRun = true; SLDT:UpdateBaseText(self, db) end
--		
--		local posX, posY = GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
--		text:SetFormattedText("%."..db.precision.."f, %."..db.precision.."f", posX*100, posY*100)
--		
--		SLDT:UpdateBaseFrame(SLDT.Coords, db)
--	else
--		if ( frame:IsShown() and not SLDataText.db.profile.configMode ) then frame:Hide() end
--	end
end

Save and restart WoW. This should hold people over until Kait updates the UI.

The downside is that you will lose your map coordinates. I don't know LUA, so I have no idea how to add non-dungeon map coordinates. If someone knows, feel free to post your fix here to get map coords everywhere else but dungeons (Blizzard disabled dungeon coordinates, hence the bug) Otherwise, just find a map coordinate addon that's 7.1 ready.

Thanks for that Kompy! :-) I will try to get that edit into the upload over the weekend.

Unfortunately I don't have time to update KaitUI properly in Legion (looking for a job IRL atm, taking up a lot of time). So long as Kg-Panels, Stuf, Bartender and Weakauras are working, the UI should be fine, just kill off any of the other addons that are causing issues.

I am working on a new one with a layout that works for both normal cam and the action cam (goodbye symmetry ;-) ). It's looking great and will post early screenshots soon, can;t say when for actual release.

It's probably also one of the Roboto fonts, but it's likely to be the one that is in the Fonts folder on the root level of your WoW folder. You'll notice that the fonts in there are NOT named Roboto. That's because the way you replace ALL the fonts in WoW without needing an addon is to create that Fonts folder, get the fonts you want to use, and then rename them to have the names of the default WoW fonts. If that makes sense.

So to fix it, try replace those fonts with the font that works for you, renaming your new fonts to the names in there.

Fonts folder on the root level of WoW folder? "World of Warcraft\Fonts" right? I changed all the fonts in that and still "???", I think it is not in that folder.

This is my solution:
(KaitUI all folder :All fonts changed to Chinese fonts

Hmm. See if there are any fonts in the Aurora addon folder

I'm having two separate issues:

2. Tool tips seem to be stuck at the bottom right of the screen. I D/L'd TinyTip and no matter what I do I cannot have the tooltip go to the anchor point.

TY in advance.

Look in the MoveAnything panel (you get to it via a button on the main Esc menu). I think I used that to relocate the minimap.

Thanks for the kind words. Those graphics are in the various folders that sit inside the Interface folder, next the the AddOns folder. The folders with names like "QUESTFRAME" or "dialogframe".

Unfortunately the graphics are in .blp format, which is a tad obscure. There is a photoshop plugin for it, if you have photoshop. Otherwise, I dunno.

Yay thank you! Yea GIMP will take .blp formats, it's how i was editing the KGpanel colors. I would have never though to look anywhere outside the interface folders, thank you so much!

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.
