Preamble
Last year Scott made the decision to step away from nUI development and maybe even WOW itself. So that his baby would go forward without his assistance he placed the addon under Creative Commons license to enable others to carry on maintaining it. I was one of the people he asked if I wanted to be one of the developers going forward. At the time I wasn't playing the game at all due to funds but as per usual, expansion came along and it was time to get my characters up to speed, as well as my addons. So I monitored the CurseForge page and found disappointing customers, I then emailed Scott and had no reply. I decided I would take up the baton and try and keep it at least running with as few problems as possible, my skills are not on par with Scott so it may take me longer to identify some errors than it would for him.
Scott's Last Patch Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.02.00.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Updated TOC for WoW
* Re-released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommerical 3.0 Unported license
nUI is no longer author supported and is released to the public in the hopes that the
community will continue to support and grow nUI in the years to come. My sincere
thanks to everyone over the years who have helped make nUI what it is (was).
Now
I will keep this maintained as long as I am able to and try to keep WOW non access to a period of working I will of course fix any errors that are identifiable without access, or available via lowbie access if money causes me to take another break.
Going Forward
Depending on the legalities of the license, I will either attempt to create a more robust version of nUI using the newer Blizzard API functionality or more likely attempt to create my own UI from scratch, that works in a similar vein to nUI for those that just can't play without it, I sure missed those InfoPanels
Issues
I've now been added as an author on the curse project for nUI so can you please post any bugs and issues there where possible so that they can be tracked that little bit easier. But feel free to post here if you are unable to.
https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/nui/issues
Alternatives
Of course, like many others, we had problems with nUI that just couldn't easily be fixed or was getting too clunky to be worth using .. but the task of finding an alternative but similar UI is hard to come by .. so here are the ones I tried for a considerable while and will offer them as alternatives to enable you to play the game. All I believe are available via wow interface and may be enough for you to get by.

10.1.5 On PTR Test Results
I jumped on the PTR and managed to test nUI with the action bars back under its control. The EditMode error didn't occur.
The Objective Tracker and Micro Menu are still under Blizzard control however. The former because nUI doesn't do anything apart from allow you to move the frame - so .. Blizzard can do that. The MicroMenu however has had some changes done in 1.1.0 which are currently not compatible with nUI's version of the micro menu. The first update (10.1.5.49516.0) for the future patch is being uploaded as we speak on https://www.wowinterface.com/downloa...nt-Retail.html Feeback appreciated and any bugs found ( if you can use curse for the bugs that would be great as they have an issue tracking system )

Changes coming to WOW 10.0.5
These changes point to the possibility of removing the micro menu and bag bar from nUI's control. They are movable, orientational and scalable and thus will be placable where you want. The button bag is still a nUI bag and will be treated as a separate entity with the mover system managing its movement if nUI is managing the minimap and its buttons.
As a reminder as to why I have been removing items from nUI's control. This is because Blizzard offers the same or similar management to the frame. And will mean one less thing to worry about when expansions hit and will allow people to use other addons for extra functionality for those addons. Less files being loaded means less memory in use, so will help with addon usage memory. I won't be removing the files from the folder yet though, just in case they need to come back. After all, who knows what they will throw at us over the next year.

Just to confirm I have got into the beta and have done a quick log in test to make sure that the current nUI version will still work. It does so far. I will do some more combat specific tests over the next few days to make sure nothing comes up.

Drakthyr related errors
I have hit at least one error after creating my Drakthyr. I will spend time on this before playing seriously on my character and then monitor as I play.

Update 10.0.0.46366.0 - NoHud Slash Command Added
Due to a request on curse, I have changed NoHud from a layout file to a toggle so that the Hud Selector button can be hidden too.
/nui hud nohud This will toggle the hud display off or on depending on its current status. By default it is on ( nohud = false ). I have also disconnected the button from the console area so that it is still accessible to switch huds if the console is hidden and vice versa.

Some possible additions to nUI
Based on feedback in that curse link I provided for discussion about nUI some concerns were made about certain areas of nUI and their use of certain addons that nUI may be interfering with in some way. The following was more response and considerations in that regard, just in case you don't visit curse often.
vvvvv Response from Curse post vvvvvvvv Combat Log Hmm, I can see where you are coming from in regards to the combat log being kept with the other chat frames. But seeing as nUI has always had the combat log as an infopanel many users are likely used to that functionality and are fine by it but .. a toggle to turn it off might be possible for people that don't want it as an infopanel. Minimap /nUI Minimap should cancel any nUI management of the minimap. This should allow any other minimap addon to do its work and use their own settings to keep the minimap working with nUI not touching it unless you turn it back on again. However, by default, nUI does manage the minimap and you have to turn it off. I can't remember if this is per character or account but when I tested it yesterday it turned off management fine. I'll have a look at that minimap addon (Basic Minimap) and assuming it is updated to the new expansion changes I'll check out the issues you are having with it. Bagbar The bag bar cannot be fully disconnected from nUI as the bar isn't movable by the new edit mode system and thus would be sitting underneath the nUI dashboard in the bottom right unreachable. nUI has it movable using /nui movers so you can place the bar where you want. Minimap Button Bag At the moment control of what buttons do and do not go to the button bag are hand coded in nUI_ButtonBag.lua in the plugins folder. One of the changes I was planning to make to this area was to see if I could make a settings screen for the minimap to allow more buttons to be placed around the minimap and better access to the user to decide which ones are important to them. It's possible this set of changes could include turning off the button bag system totally. Giving the user the choice to fully manage the buttons using a settings screen or the choice to not have nUI manage the buttons at all. Button Forge I will have to look into Button Forge. As, if you want to use Button Forge Panels as a switchable infopanel along with the likes of recount and omen etc. an infopanel has to be coded to specifically work with the addon in question. It might be that I can set up an integrated info panel for button forge users. Hud Switcher Button I didn't notice myself that it is tied to minimap buttons in nUI. I will see what I can do to separate that so that you can hide one and not the other as per your choice in that regards. Focus Frame In regards to the focus frame issue if you want to use the minimap area for something else or do not want the minimap swapped out if you have a focus. The question is where can the focus frame be put within the unit frames area. This is probably the reason why Scott initially used the minimap area as I don't think there is a space for it elsewhere and based on my own usage of focus during my old raiding days I needed the focus in view more than a minimap so unless I can find a spot for it in the unit frame setups ( solo, party,raidxx etc ) it might have to stay as it is and replace that minimap spot. However, if it is possible to add it to the mover system without breaking its secure frame functionality so users can put it where they want it might be an option to consider. Slash Commands The slash commands system still has some changes to make as some have been disabled but not removed from the system. I need to double check these before fully removing them. Once Blizzard has got the new settings system running properly alongside addons I am hoping to add a settings screen for nUI's options and slash commands to make those changes easier and resulting in a single reload of the UI at the end rather than for each slash command that needs a reload to have its change apply. ^^^^^ Response in Curse Post ^^^^^^^

Dragonflight PrePatch now on Retail
The Retail version of nUI has now been updated with the PrePatch PTR version with just one additional change made due to ImpliedTarget addon which I use for my real playing sessions. Unfortunately the errors were not just nUI having a hissy fit because it no longer needs the helper tool for it but the addon itself is bugged.
I have opened a discussion page on Curse : https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/nui/issues/164 and there is still one forum on here that is open for new posts https://www.wowinterface.com/forums/...splay.php?f=98 I visit the two sites regularly enough that posts in either will be read in a few days at least weeks at most.

Dragonflight Update Status
For those that don't frequent the nUI page on curse I thought I would give you an update.
A few days back I had a bout of inspiration and managed to get nUI almost working on the PTR. It has errors when you try to use edit mode and use the options screen but everything works/saves/updates etc by the looks of it at least. Until we know whether it is a problem in the development of Dragonflight or an intended change that addons will need to identify the required changes we will have to live with those errors. Seeing as both are unlikely to be in play during combat I haven't deemed it as an important element to investigate with other issues more important. I still don't have beta access but someone has been testing my WIP versions of the PTR working nUI. For anyone that wants to help test things out I have been uploading them to my google drive until I am happy to upload it to either site. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...KX?usp=sharing If possible : any feedback on this would be appreciated at https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/nui/issues/162 to keep everything in one place.

Well, had an attempt at creating an nUI layout in code .. but unfortunately it hit the forbidden action error that nUI does.
However, you can share to clipboard and inport and paste from clipboard. This for example is one I made up while playing about with it. ================== Start of Layout Code ================================= 5 23 0 0 4 4 UIParent 50.0 -155.0 0 ##$%%/&''%)$+# 0 1 4 4 UIParent -218.0 -230.7 0 ##$%%/&%'%(#,$ 0 2 4 4 UIParent -217.4 -153.3 0 ##$%%/&%'%(#,$ 0 3 7 7 UIParent -266.7 31.0 0 ##$$%/&$'%(#*#,$ 0 4 7 7 UIParent 371.4 28.0 0 ##$$%/&$'%(#*#,$ 0 10 7 7 UIParent -264.8 156.5 0 ##$$&('% 0 11 4 4 UIParent 51.0 -218.0 0 ##$$&&'%,$ 0 12 4 4 UIParent -44.2 -132.0 0 ##$$&('% 1 -1 4 4 UIParent -377.0 -212.5 0 ##$$ 2 -1 7 7 UIParent 48.0 38.0 0 #$ 3 0 4 4 UIParent -243.0 -38.0 0 ##$$ 3 1 4 4 UIParent 316.0 -50.0 0 %$ 3 2 4 4 UIParent 110.0 -57.3 0 %#&# 3 3 7 7 UIParent 262.0 185.0 0 '#(#)#-#.#/# 3 4 7 7 UIParent 345.0 67.0 0 )$,%-#.#/#0#1#2' 3 5 3 3 UIParent 25.0 -39.0 0 &$*$ 4 -1 7 7 UIParent -254.0 209.0 0 &$*$ 5 -1 3 3 UIParent 352.0 -177.0 0 &$*$ 6 0 7 7 UIParent -351.5 66.0 0 ##$#%#&((')(*# 6 1 7 7 UIParent -177.0 66.0 0 ##$#%#'((')(*# 7 -1 3 3 UIParent 37.0 -23.5 0 ##$#%#'((')(*# 8 -1 6 6 UIParent 51.0 50.0 0 #'$C%$&t 9 -1 4 4 UIParent -62.5 -86.0 0 #'$C%$&t ==================== End of Layout Code ================================ The down side is that the tracker, micro buttons, bag bar and tracking bars are not a part of the editmode system. At least for the moment.

Re: nUI : Dragonflight Status
Now that Dragonflight Pre-Patch is on PTR I have been able to test nUI against its new interface changes.
It looked hopeful at first with the log in errors easily fixed. I then started working through the visual issues ( button bag needs moving over and had a click error that I fixed ), the action bars having extra oversized borders that I can't identify, resize or remove, and the new Edit Mode system kicking up errors when nUI is active but not when other addons are. So, it seems, at least for the moment, that updating nUI to work with Dragonflight is on hold. The good news is that for the most part you can use the EditMode system to place the main Blizzard frames where nUI would ( although the main action bar frame includes 2 bars that you cycle between but hopefully there will be a way to separate them ) The bad news is that nUI's special functionality like the info panel system will have to be created as smaller addons ( which I was already considering as an option ). However, off the top of my head I can't think of anything else nUI has that Blizzard hasn't implemented themselves yet. So .... if there is anything you would miss from nUI let me know ( preferably on curse's issue for this purpose - https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/nui/issues/162 - to keep it in the same place ).

Quest: Sparkles Rain From Above Action Bar Issue
It seems the action bar has been changed again so that spawned bars glitch out with addons that customize the action bars. The existing changes made last time this happened doesn't quite work this time. I was hoping I could cancel and redo the quest like others that had this problem but alas, twas not to be. It will have to wait until I get this far on another character in the future.
Workaround for the moment is to disable nUI and use the Blizzard special action bar. I have this in an open issue on CurseForge to remind me when I next come across this quest.

nUI : Dragonflight Status
Having watched Bellular's video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Vo4YUFkqs it looks like they have made some significant UI changes and the action bar changes alone worries me on how they could break nUI.
Hopefully I will get into one of the tests to see the changes for myself but its early days yet and things may change.

Re: Not loading for hunters.
My main is a hunter and was playing it yesterday. Have you got any other existing characters to try ? Create a new hunter ? see what happens then. If you haven't already make sure you have the latest https://www.wowinterface.com/downloa...5-BugSack.html and buggrabber addon loaded in case there are loading errors that are happening in your case. Can you make sure that no addon is loaded by selecting all and then deselecting all, then selecting nUI ( and the aforementioned bug tracking addons). I noticed with Shadowlands that any new addon placed in the folder is automatically loaded, even if not explicitly ticked. Another option is that if you have used custom addons before some of your WTF files may have corrupted including those that nUI uses. So I would suggest because you said it affects hunters, go to your hunter's wtf > account > server > character folder and rename the nUI.lua file in that folder. See if the rebuilt file fixes the problem. If not work back and find any nUI.lua file ( I think the next will be at account level ) and do the same test. If none of these work... send a screenshot to [email protected] and I will see if I recognise the problem.
