I tried some weeks to create one frame, but i just not understand how to do it with or without oUF :(

Here are screenshots:

It has icons, locale flags, raid/group targeting count. HP bar changes the color, if there dispellable debuff on a player, like poison (green) disease (brown) etc... All frames are clickable.

In group shows role icon.

Party frames are set to alpha 0.6 if too far away. Else set on 1

Love the interface. You could reproduce most of that with just about any units addon though; without having to make your own layout in oUF.

Although if you like doing a bit of coding it's more fun with oUF and it will perform better in WoW that having to do it all in wa.

Have you done any coding at all in any language? If not it's going to make it a bit harder for you to do a layout with oUF.

Here is a basic screenshot of what I've done with my layout for oUF. All the bottom panels are frames created with basic lua with a basic texture applied to them.

My minimal layout.

unfortenately, i have never messed with any language.

Troubleshooting
 

This is a good list of steps for troubleshooting addons. Give it a look and see if anything can help you locate the source of your lag (unless it is 700 Weak Auras). Your whole UI is made from Weak Auras? <mind blown>

Only unit frames, and some other stuff, like rogue combo points. And there is not 700 auras enabled at same time :)

I think i know what can be cause laggs. Many auras has the same code on init, like:

local char
local string_byte = string.byte
local sub = sub

local function chsize(char)
if not char then
return 0
elseif char > 240 then
return 4
elseif char > 225 then
return 3
elseif char > 192 then
return 2
else
return 1
end
end

function aura_env.custom_utf8sub(str, startChar, numChars)
if not str then return "" end
local startIndex = 1
while startChar > 1 do
local char = string_byte(str, startIndex)
startIndex = startIndex + chsize(char)
startChar = startChar - 1
end

local currentIndex = startIndex

while numChars > 0 and currentIndex <= #str do
local char = string_byte(str, currentIndex)
currentIndex = currentIndex + chsize(char)
numChars = numChars -1
end
return str:sub(startIndex, currentIndex - 1)
end

function aura_env.utf8len(str)
if not str then return 0 end
local len = 0
local currIndex = 1
while currIndex <= #str do
local char = string_byte(str, currIndex)
currIndex = currIndex + chsize(char)
len = len + 1
end
return len
end

But normally it should be loaded only one time. Or for example if i have the same code for color box, that loads twice, like player and target. That can be the issue, but im not at 100% sure.

You are using WA for **way** more than it was originally intended. You are putting tons of strain on WA, and your code is inefficient because you are working within the constraints of WA. This is why you are having performance problems.

You should find addons that do what you want (or write your own), rather than abusing WA. I understand that is the purpose for your thread here.

If you need help with oUF, that is what this forum section is for. If you need help with learning how to write addons, there is the IRC channel and these forum sections. Be sure to check out the stickied threads.

But let's get you away from WA for everything but what it's original purpose is. ;)

I don't want to beat the dead horse but ye, I think you answered what your problem is when you use WA for way more than it was intended.

This kinda reminds me of this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1172/

:D

Is there any Discord channel for UI creating?

There is an irc mirror afaik but most people just hang out at irc.freenode.net#wowuidev

irc.freenode.net: Terminated

i don't know why it's not working

Works for me using HexChat. What client are you using?

Can some one show me please, how to anchor a texture to clickable panel (like making texture clickable)?

I get it to work, but they are not helpfull... they just redirecting me to ouF forum.



Im disappointed...:(

The reason they're not being very helpful in the manner you seek is bc that chat is not there for you to just ask for people to code this and that for you. They've directed you to oUF in hopes you would teach yourself how to create your own oUF layout and go from there.

Learn some basic lua and how to create your own addon first. It will help you understand what to do.

What has been said and get to look at someone else's code. Pick a simple addon and see how things are done.

This should help you out:

Then take a look at some addons, you can explore what Roth in his addons for instance: https://github.com/zorker/rothui/tree/master/wow7.0

If you've never done any lua nor made any addons yourself before, going straight into making your own oUF layout may be a bit over-ambitious. If you aren't able to understand the tutorial layout Rainrider linked you, you're probably better off starting by making more basic addons until you get a better grasp for it.

If you don't want to learn, then you'll probably be better served by using someone else's layout that they uploaded on here or on Curse (or any other UI addons; it doesn't have to be oUF.) A custom UI doesn't have to be self-made, if you're just wanting to replace all your WeakAuras.

Or i just rent some coder :p

I hope you've got some really really deep pockets, 'cause coders don't come cheap (IF they charge the going rate for coding, at least).

If you hire someone, keep in mind that with the next expansion stuff might change and you might have to look for somebody to fix your layout again.
