Yes, my bad. you're correct... of course .

I just installed 5.0 Alpha and it seems to have fixed that problem. I'm so happy to have built in raid frames, hooray... no more Grid!!!

You can make that a macro, as well, and place it at the left end of your bottom left action bar so it's not hidden when the frame comes up. The only caveat is that you cannot use that command while in combat.
eww... macro'ing that, good idea! And thank you so much for the quick replies.

If I don't take any classes over the summer, I'll be sure to send you some more $$, 'til then I'm a broke college student.

Keep up the great work, but not at the cost of burning yourself out.

Rofl, Would love to help you out there but I did try and make my own graphic alternative to the current thin black set up I use but no luck .. for someone that passed their art exam with a grade 2 (Im from the UK in case you're wondering what that is), I seem to have lost the artistic knack I had back then. But I do like the non cubic graphic backgrounds some of the interfaces have.

I paint with code, and need a compass to draw a circle ~lol~

I am looking for two or three talented artists who would be willing to donate some time to help me with art for nUI and for the nUI web site in exchange for being on the nUI supporter's e-mail list for updates, etc, or just because ~smile~

What I would like to do is to create some artists concepts for the web page look and feel and for some alternate nUI layouts (like radically different layouts, including minimalist layouts) and skins. Stuff from a purely artistic point of view, eye candy. From there I could write the code to wrap the web site, or the layout, around the visual idea.

So... if anyone would be interested in taking that task on to help us grow nUI, let me know.

Hopefully they don't count Mind Control as being in combat. As a shadow priest it will be my task to mind control the instructors helper and I'm worried that I will not be able to get rid of that bar. For small quests and dailies etc its no biggie but I just don't want that to be the reason I have problems.

Will test this out on a normal mob and see if it works as ,if I remember rightly, as soon as the mind control kicks in the instructor attacks and combat starts. Hopefully time enough for that command to kick in.

Thumbs up wooohoooo 5.0!

Beautiful just awesome everything is looking nice scott AND seems the overlap issue with the timers is completely gone! I love the new raid frames and I cant tell you how much I appreciate all the work you do from bug squashing to answering questions. The support you give for nui is unmatched by any other addon author out there that Ive come across.
So once again thanks

I have two questions that I can't seem to find the answer to.

First, is there a GUI for nUI config or is it all command line? And, if it is all command line are all of the commands listed in /nUI help?

Second, is there a way to enable tooltips on buffs/debuffs? I'm having a ***** of a time without being able to see what's what.


Awesome UI though, I really like it a lot!

Jaush -- you can find a GUI config and other plugins at http://www.wowinterface.com/download...=9108#optional

As for tooltips on (de)buffs... they do already work for most (de)buffs, just not the ones in the bottom center of the HUD since that would interfere with targeting, etc. Which ones are you have a problem with?

Thanks for that Neuralassassin -- now you do realize that being complimentary would be entirely out of character for an assassin other than, perhaps, complimenting another assassin on the cleanliness of the kill.

~lol~

On the contrary a good assassin is one that you would never suspect of being such

Thank you for making such a beautiful UI for us to use.
It is very elegant.

May I suggest that it would be cool to be able to make the raid frames "hot". It would enable a seemless integration of healbot, and perhaps even decursive. The current way of cramming healbot into the bottom right hand corner is simply unworkable, I have to drag it out and put it back on my screen. However, if the raid frame area could be made Hot, in other words, if each frame were like a healbot or decursive frame and tied to a healing/decursive action, that woud be very cool!

Thank you again,

Silverloch,

Speaking as someone who uses neither healbot nor decursive, can you describe for me what you mean by "hot" ?? If you mean supporting click-casting, then the new nUI raid frames and all of the existing nUI unit frames already support that functionalily. Likewise, they are all clickable for targeting, etc... they are fully functional unit frames.

To the best of my knowledge, the only piece I have left to implement to make nUI's unit frames a functional replacement to healbot/decursive is the alerts for curses, diseases, etc. Yes? No?

I'm not sure what he meant by HoT, but with healbot you can make leftclicking a name cast one spell and rightclicking a name a different spell:
Leftclick: Lay on Hands
Centerclick: Cleanse
Rightclick: Holy Light

I agree that would be incredibly useful for a healer but would be confusing for lots when trying to target or cast buffs on group/raid members. Is there a way around that? Maybe a selecter to turn on/off that function?

Alright ill give it a try, but I was hopeing to have a way to replace healbot Via normal frames.

By default, nUI will behave in the normal fashion... left click to target, right click for menu, etc. However, install Clique with nUI and now the frames have full click-casting support such as provided in Healbot with far more flexibility and using nUI's built in unit frames versus healbot's frames.

Eventually I'll add the ability to do what Clique does as a built-in to nUI, as well... but for now Clique solves the problem.
