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Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.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

I always used Dominos and kind of not interested in changing that out, would I break everything by using Dominos instead of bartender? Currently use LUI and it can handle both without problem, but like the minimalist idea and wanted to test this out

Did you update any of the addons it says to not update? Also - are the addons that are out of place preventing you from moving things?

I'll be re-subbing after the 1st of next month (I need the payments to go out after pay day), so I'll do my best to update all the addons then

I may've found a possible solution to the position-resetting, by moving the initial player frame to the location that it'd be in a full group - but now I've got the issue of smaller groups (2, 3 or 4 people) not being centered and shunted instead to the side; in the position it would be if there were five people present. I figured it might have something to do with the anchoring, but so far every option I've tried has the same issue.

I've updated Grid, but it sorted nothing, and I figured it might have something to do with the layouts you have for it that came with this UI; I've been scratching my head over it for hours - it's the only thing in the UI that's out-right broken. Functionally, it works just the same and I can heal and target and all that just fine, but the position-resetting is driving me crazy.

I understand you don't currently have sub, so I don't know if you'll be able to give any insight at all, but I figured that I'd post here just in case there's a solution, or to let anyone know they're not alone should they suffer from the same problem!

Hi Lunaeria,

I can't exactly remember/figure out what the problem you're describing is. I do remember that Grid was a bit buggy in regards to people joining and leaving the raids during combat. And also the profile changing didn't work while in combat? Not sure.

Also - there are scripts in kgPanels relating to Grid. They are the ones that trigger when you click the popup menu on the right. There may have been also some that triggerred when enterring the world or a new instance but again I'm not sure.

I've installed WoW again anyways and will be sorting out a new sub soon, so hopefully I can get in game in the next few weeks and have a look.

Do you plan on altering the layout of your UI once Legion hits and we get the option for a player resource bar beneath our feet? Seems like a really great way to be even more minimalistic! Seeing as it is centered beneath our character though that means a lot of optimal minimalist setups block its view. Curious to hear your thoughts on it!

What I'm probably going to do is between pre-patch and launch just try to get KaitUI all set for legion. I'm also going to try see what it's like to re-make KaitUI as a version of ElvUI (for user convenience and setup easyness I guess).

After that, I'm going to make a new asymmetrical UI to can work with both the normal camera and the new action camera. It probably won't use the under-feet resource bars, but you never know. It's going to have a bunch of stop motion weakAuras in it, and all the other shenanigans.. :-)

That's so cool! Really look forward to trying that out.

Is it possible for us to get the UI in working shape if we update addons individually (while preserving - as best we can - the settings required)? I love this UI so very much, it'd be a shame to not be able to use it.

In theory yes, but I made edits to MoveAnything, SLDataText, Stuf, Stuf_Options and XPBarNone to get them to work in the first place, so updating those will overwrite the edits. Having said that, if you're fairly familiar with addon configs you should be able to update them then just fix them in game yourself (iirc a lot of the edits were to make setup/profiles work).

Thanks :-) The colour can be changed by editing those image files. They're all in one folder in (i think) the KaitMedia addon folder.

Yes the gap above the minimap is for Target buffs and debuffs, symmetrical to the Player versions on the left. I kinda hate the minimap in WoW to be honest. It's stupid, you don't really need it imo.

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.
