nUI -- A full feature standalone UI replacement

[spiel2001]

I've got two weeks off starting tomorrow after work and am hoping to nail down a lot of the issues and missing features over that time. I'll be sure and port it all to the new PTR, as well.

Anyone know an ETA for release of that new code that's on the PTR?

The basic interface comes up with some of your features but things like the target window, action bars, mini-map, etc. do not appear to be functioning at all.

Smirge -- this may date back to an old bug that occurred when you accidentally drug a food out of one of those buttons. Try resetting the spell in the first slot on your main action bar's page 1 and see if the icons work after that. If that doesn't work, try renaming your WTF folder to WTF.saved and see if the icons come back. If neither works, let me know.

This is clean Nui install with no other addons installed - and a fresh WTF folder as well any ideas ? eidt: oh btw - it's wotlk and lvl 80's food and both me and the pet is lvl 80

This is something that keeps coming up. I guess I could set nUI's button bag to a higher strata. As it is now, it uses the same strata as the rest of the bags. Not sure why that's an issue, but seems to be.

I try to keep my stuff together and everytime I open the bag it hides behind whatever is currently around it.Maybe make it so that it stays on top? Otherwise I am very happy with the ui.I even LOVE the top bar.I have installed fubar there and am really pleased with the functionality of the whole work.Once again Thanks.

Stalphyr -- this is a subject that comes up fairly repeatedly... in a nutshell, no, you cannot use a transparent dashboard.

Because nUI uses vertical space in the dashboard, it moves your world frame up by 1/2 the height of the dashboard which leaves a large empty black area behind the dashboard that you cannot presently see. If the dashboard were transparent, it would show like a sore thumb.

In addition, if you really look at it, there's very little area there that the dashboards is not using. It has been my experience that when you remove the solid dashboard, the visual impact feels even more cluttered and claustrophobic.

Trust me, you *think* you want a transparent dashboard there, but if you had it, you wouldn't be happy with it.

When thing are possible will help out (Donation). Things will hopefully get better for everyone. That way we can Addict them all to playing wow and using your UI!!! yes I can not spell its Early and I should be asleep but Pain has a WEIRD sort of way of stopping that!

Silenia -- this is a known bug and affects all talent build displays. Hopefully I'll be able to track this down over my holiday vacation. You can get some detail on the bug here: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...postcount=1994

Originally Posted by Silenia I apologize ahead of time if this has already been covered, but there's soooooo much information in both threads that it's difficult to read through it all. The talent builds in the tooltips aren't correct for me. When I hover my mouse over someone, the tooltip is giving me the incorrect talent build. Like, when I hover over my boyfriends unit frame, it says his talent build is Demonology.... he's a Hunter with a BM spec. Again, sorry if this has been covered already.

Hey. Probably a stupid question, but I'm running nUI (And no other interface mods, the closest other mod I have is ArkInventory)

Anyways, In the Player/Target setup for the Hud, I turned off the healt/race bar beause it's in my way when tanking, but as a Death Knight, my Runes are right in the middle of my screen and I can't figure out how to move them/turn them off.

They're completely in my way when I'm trying to rapidly drop a DnD or move my camera, my mouse always seems to want to end up there.

So, if somone can give me some insight on how to move them, or to disable that specific display, I'd be appreciative.

Hi you can install this addon to nUI to move them

nUI: Config [Blizzard Runes]
Enables the default Blizzard Runes frame.

Also I have found if I hot key DnD and just hover above em it drop just in the right spot. I use it to guide me where to drop it.

spiel, about ur problem with the font size being to small when u make the ui scale smaller, i know a solution. my UI uses up a lot of screen realestate without the UI scale lowered. i fixed the font size with an addon called Clearfont2. it changes your font and allows u to increase the font of most of the text in the UI. the interfaces will still be small (ex. character menu, social pane) but the font will be big enough to read.

Hope this helps

[spiel2001]

I will be disabling the mouse features in the rune bar in the next update which will eliminate the problem with not being able to click through them in the HUD.

I am a bit miffed as to why it would be right in the middle though unless you're zoomed way in... it should be well below center of the screen

The Blizzard Runes plugin Kiwii pointed to you is part of the nUI optional addons that are available. You can find the complete list at http://www.wowinterface.com/download...=9108#optional to which there will be several new additions very soon.

Thanks... I'll keep that in mind as a suggestion to folks who complain about the font sizes. I'll not bundle it with nUI as that's entirely against the principal of this mod, but I may look into implementing it at some point. For now, folks who have issues with nUI's fonts can use that. I appreciate the heads up on it.

Thanks for the link.. it was very informative!

Forgive me, I dunno a thing about programming code and this probably won't help, but there is a line of code that Pitbull uses (Dogtag code I think it's called) that does what your trying to do. I had it added to my Pitbull unit frames when I made my custom ui.

Do you think looking at that bit of code would help you, or give you some ideas?

Hi.

First of all, i must admit i really love your interface, it works and looks just like i want it to do.

But, im having an issue, and im not certain wether its me or the interface that is buggy.

Occationally (like 1 in 3), when i cast the shadow priest spell: Shadowfiend, part of the interface dissapears or blinks irregularily.

The part of the interface that blinks, is "my" part, meaning healing and mana bar.

Im sorry if this problem has been raised before.

If you need any information, please let me know.

[spiel2001]

This is a known bug introduced in the 3.06 update and will be fixed in the next update a day or two after Christmas.

If you'd like to send it to me, I'd be happy to have a looksee... [email protected]

Meh, I'm sorry. I think they changed something because that line of code I put in there (it was in the Dogtag in game help, but it's not there now) was changed. When I edit the target unit frame in game it just has [Talent] in the custom box... I know I typed a longer code in there, but I dun remember what it was now.

I'm sorry, Scott

Edit: If I'm not mistaken I got the idea from the Elitist Jerks forum where they have a thread about Dogtag code. I don't have the link anymore though.

Hey,

First of all, I'm testing your interface since 2 weeks and I think you did a great job

I tried it with my twinks and with my main, who is 72 at the moment and would be very glad if there would be a better raidframe-display when he gets 80
I know, every 2nd Post is about that, but maybe you could add an integration for grid for the time until you get your 25-raidframes working? So we could choose if we want your raidframes or grid?

Thanks for your efforts, really great interface, so long
albarracuda

EDIT: What I mean is an integration in the right bottom corner, something like that what you have done for Omen and Recount f.e. ... But not really necessary, right

[spiel2001]

Thanks for the kind word ~smile~

If you want to use Grid, just install it... nUI is compatible with it. There's really no point in an integration for it though.

Just an idea or two for any one who is making plugin's for nUI.
1. make it so healbot, grid types stuff can go in the Right panel. I say this cuz when I am playing my healer I don't use the other stuff much and that would be nice spot to have it out of the way but there.

2. Add a way so the button the switches the windows go both ways <-- -->

3. Referral program lol. Had to make a micro my self cuz I have people all the time in/out of game ask me about my UI and I send them here (( just kidin on the program I am find with my micro))

Keep up the good work, and happily wait for my new nUI release under the tree of the new year

I've often wished this myself. Poor Scott.. his ToDo list is probably a mile long lol.

heh heh, I bet it is. It's all good though and worth waiting for. I love nUI.

You have created quite the monster here and it has really improved my WoW experience. Keep up the great work bud! Happy Holidays!
