nUI -- A full feature standalone UI replacement

Does this happen as soon as you log into WoW, or only after you've switched between windowed and non-windowed modes?

This happens every great once in a while to me too. It's a graphical thing with WoW and your system.

reloading the UI won't fix it.

When it happens to me, I have to exit the game completely and come back in - problem fixes itself from there.

edit: I use Vista 64 Bit, q9450 proc, 8gb mem, and an ATI 4850 vid card with the latest 8.12 drivers installed - I'd say that this happens roughly once a week to me.

Kode - I'm sending you a PM as well as posting here - drop me a line please - need to talk to you about the site and some things

If you pay attention, you'll see that they are present when you first log in but at some point in the images simply vanish and leave just the frames behind

They came back . Weirdly though, they still show up out of combat.

It's not hindering my gameplay at all though....I'm far from stressing over it

In the default nUI distribution package, Recount and Omen3 are integrated into the information panel (right end of the dashboard) as separate pages within the panel and the player must choose one view or the other. This optional plug-in combines Omen3 and Recount (Preservation) into a single information panel page which automatically switches between displaying Omen3 or Recount based on whether you are in combat or out of combat.

While out of combat, this plug-in will present the Recount (Preservation) window on the "Stats" information panel. As soon as the player or the player's pet enters combat or gains agro, the "Stats" information panel will hide the Recount window and display the Omen3 window to help the player manage agro in combat. As soon as both the player and the player's pet leave combat, the "Stats" panel will switch back to the Recount display.

This optional plug-in can be downloaded from http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nfopanels.html

How you can help support nUI's continued development: I am currently trying to recover from 14 months of unemployment and with over $20,000 in debt (unpaid mortgage payments, loans, etc.), every penny makes a serious difference. Your contribution of $5, $10, $20 or more to support the ongoing development of nUI would be greatly appreciated. Please visit https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...tton_id=681357 and make a donation now. Lastly, please vote for nUI and add it to your favorites list... it helps nUI get more exposure. Thanks for your support!

This addon requires that you have nUI installed... you can find nUI at http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-nUIBeta3.html -- For support, please visit http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=16845

Please note: I do not read the comment board on this download page. If you would like to comment on this plug-in or need help installing or using it, please use the link provided above.

To use this skin:

1. Exit WoW
2. Download and install the most recent version of nUI if you have not already as you would any other addon. You should unzip the contents of the download file into your Interface\AddOns directory
3. Download and install this addon as you would any other addon and unzip it into the Interface\AddOns directory as well.
4. After downloading and installing both mods, you should have both an Interface\AddOns\nUI directory and an Interface\AddOns\nUI_InfoPanel_Stats directory
5. You can return to using separate Omen3 and Recount information panels at any time by selecting the "AddOns" option at the WoW character selection screen and disabling nUI_InfoPanel_Stats.
6. Select your character and enter the world. nUI will automatically replace the default individual Omen3 and Recount information panels with the single merged info panel version if it is enabled.

I have noticed that in the screen shots I have seen that the mini-map is located in the center of the console and I can't figure out how to make it show there. How do you get it to show there?

If the minimap is located in your information panel instead of the center of the screen and presuming you are running the current version of nUI, at the character selection screen, select the "AddOns" button and make sure that if the mod "nUI_InfoPanel_Minimap" is installed, that it is disabled, then log back into WoW.

If your minimap is located in the top right corner of your screen, use the slash command '/nui minimap' to toggle nUI's management of the minimap on.

FWIW -- The port to the new PTR is complete now. Fludder and Kodewulf have each been working on GUI config tools for the last week or so, so now I'm going to work on testing their code out and trying to merge their two efforts into nUI to create an integrated GUI config from their code. I'll put out an alpha to nUI's subscribers via e-mail as soon as that's complete. I'm going to guess that will be Thursday, but not a promise.

Good morning, Scott!

How does one get on the alpha subscribers list?

On a side note: I'm having issues with the feed pet icon. Is there a post that addresses this that I can look at (if there is, I'm lame and can't find it lol)? If not... the icon refuses to pop up the pet food tiny window sometimes. I cannot recreate it on demand as it seems to be intermittent and not associated with any other actions that I can figure out. I have to use my ToT (on the pet) to get the tiny food window to appear. Other times, the window will not go away and I have to /nui rl to make it go away. I have not tried disabling all my other addons to see if it's just conflicting with something, but I do not have any pet addons and deleted the feed pet macro that I was using.

Let me know if you need any other info, or require me to do something to help you with this.

[Sarnow]

Thanks for the info, I actually fixed the issue seconds after I posted it.

That's the e-mail list of all of the people who have made donations to support nUI and the people who have been doing the language translations.

Any chance these issues are occuring in and or around combat? nUI will not let you open the pet feeder window while you're in combat lockdown and I have seen it get messed around if the feeder window is open when you gain agro.

I only try to feed after I've rezzed my pet (out of combat), or when I'm standing around Dalaran and he screams about being hungry lol. I made some Spiced Mammoth Treats for him a bit ago, but they do not appear in the feed window. I opened it to give him some and the pet food frame window got stuck open.

Okay... first... valid pet foods that do not appear in the window are the result of them not being in my data tables. I need to come up with a mechanism to detect those and record the item id for those foods so I can add them to the database.

Did you get any error messages when this occurred? (stuck window) Do you happen to have Swatter installed?

[spiel2001]

As of tonight I have been able to collect enough profile data to determine where in the code the FPS leak is occurring. I'm working on a solution and will put out an update as soon as I can find a work-around.

I have the latest nu release with the minimap in the info panel and also have the optional plugin for omen and recount . with that in mind if it helps any with my problem i ran naxx last night and my screen kept freezing up couldnt figure out what was going on at first i thought maybe my anti-virus was runing but i decided to mouse over the fps/memory usage panel at the top of the screen provided by nui and there it was Nui was using 828.32 mb of memory this would go away from time to time and then start locking up again each time the memory was in comparison as mentioned before. is it possible either of the plugins are causing it or is it in the latest release something with the code providing a screen shot if you can read it.

[spiel2001]

Yeah... did you read the message immediately before this one?

I have identified the problem with the frame rate leak as of tonight... I am working on the solution.

Hello all,
I just downloaded that UI and I think it's really great. All necessary information provided at a glance. But I've been in a group lately as a tank and couldn't find out if there's an indicator of who in the group has aggro. With the Blizzard standard UI there was that little red frame around the players portrait, so I could keep an eye out on the doc. Is there anything similar built in to this UI? I've seen that this has been asked already a few times, I just couldn't find an answer to it. So I apologize in advance if that has already been said, I simply can't find it.

If you look at the HUD, your target's target is displayed. So basically just look for the name of whatever the target is targeting and you're set. Easiest way to see what I'm talking about - go out in the wild - start combat with a mob. You'll see the mob's target name there on the right side - which should be your (or possibly your pet's name if you are using a pet and he has aggro).

[spiel2001]

Hagster --

At present I have (still) not enabled the feedback frames which are what would give you the red color for who has agro and colors for who is cursed, diseased, etc. So that part is missing, yes.

However, if you are targeting the mob, then both the HUD and the unit frames give you a target-of-target frame which shows you who that mob is targeting... or, put another way, who has that mob's agro.

Thank you for your immediate reply. Yes I noticed that I can see the target of the mob I'm targetting, I'm just looking for way to see if anyone has aggro when I'm tanking multiple mobs.
