Cast bars overlapping

CrimsonNinja · 10-15-10, 05:22 AM

OK, it may just be me, but the cast bar for myself, my pet and the spell timers above the cooldowns are all right on top of each other. It sometimes gets annoying that I can't see them all. I hoped the /nui movers command would allow me to move them, so is there a way to move the nui casting bars?

The casting bars should *not* be overlapping anything... the player bar should be immediately above the pet bar which should be above your HOT/DOT bar which should be above the cooldown bar... if you're seeing something else, then something is broken.

Can you post a screen shot here of the bars overlapping so I can see what you're seeing? (you can use the paperclip icon to attach the screenshot to your reply, or scroll down the page to the "Manage Attachments" button)

Here is a screenshot of the bars overlapping.

That is not the default HUD layout... very strange. Is that version 5.07.04 (Development) that you have loaded and is it fully unmodified?

No, it says 5.07.03 (Development), and I was using recount, omen and a skin addon. I disabled it all except for nui and it still looked the same as the screenshot (Bars Overlapping). I just downloaded and installed 5.07.04 (Development) and the hud is too low and the vertical offset function does not work, and bars still overlap.

I reverted back to 5.07.03 (Development) and the vertical offset does not work here either, the hud is just in the center, and bars still overlap.

I get the same thing with my spell timers overlapping my castbar and actionbars

The vertical offset function does work... quite a few people are using it. Try this command exactly as given here...

/nui hud vofs 175

I had to delete saved variables in the WTF folder. vofs works, so the only problem is the bars overlapping.

Ok, so I've been messing around with it and I think I have fixed the problem or at least discovered what caused it. Firstly I deleted ALL saved variables for nui in the main WTF folder's saved variables and in each character's saved variables. When I was setting everything back the way I had it, I changed the scale to 1.25. It was after the scale change that I noticed the bars overlapping. I set the scale back to 1 and this is what it looks like and I hope for the sake of making things easier on you that this is how it should look.

Yup... that's about right. So, it appears there's a scaling problem in the HUD now.

Pyoopyoo · 10-23-10, 07:17 PM

Regardless of the scaling problem, is there a way to move the nUI cast bars?

spiel2001 · 10-23-10, 09:42 PM

Yes... edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > HUDLayouts > {hud mode} > nUI_HUDSkin_{hud mode}_Casting.lua ] (where {hud mode} is one of PlayerTarget, HealthPower, etc.) and change the values of the xOfs and yOfs variables in anchor portion the ["Casting"] section.
