sorry about my poor english.

I think I see what you're saying... the cooldown timer on the action bar has expired but the spell is still being shown as being on cooldown in the cooldown bar. I would be interested to know which one is right and I would almost bet you the cooldown bar is the one that is right.

The next time this happens, can you try casting the arcane shot while the action bar shows it ready and the cooldown bar shows it still on cooldown and tell me if you could cast it or not?

i'm able to cast the shoot.

your cooldown timer expires and sounds at the same time like the timer on the castbare but he comes immediately up again to stay there for a very short time, expire and sound a second time, same with multy shoot.

Okay -- I might know what's going on there... I'll have a look at it when I get home from work this evening.

Thanks, i have found a way to replace the combat log with a custom chat window but how can i set the chat shown in this window ??? i see my Guild MotD but no chat, no whisper and no Party / Raid chat. when i set the options ingame after a relog all options are turned off :7

That's an area I've not yet worked in. I would suggest you check out http://www.wowwiki.com -- they have very detailed information on the WoW API. You can also try looking at the source code for Interface\FrameXML\FloatingChatFrame.lua (I think that's the correct source, I may be wrong)

I'm still getting taint, I dunno from where. Could have sworn I turned on the taint log a long time ago. Could someone be so kind as to leave that /command please.

nUI's main action bar is still generating taint which I hope to fix in the 5.0 -- however, it does not impact game play in any way as it is occurring at the end of the cycle, so it hasn't been a real high priority for me.

thanks Scott!

My guess is, you used another skill just the moment when multi shot got ready. And then the GCD is added to multi shot and gives the second warning.

Actually, my guess is that arcane shot has like 10 or 12 ranks and when I added the filter for only showing 1 rank, I did not add a filter for there being any discrepency in the expiration times for the ranks not being displayed. When the skill goes on cooldown I set a flag to show it, when that rank expires I clear the flag but one of the other ranks still has a fraction of a second left in its timer, so it displays, but I never get an indication that the spell is off cooldown because it already was before I displayed the alternate rank.

In other words... it's a stupid programmer error ~grin~

Its OK Scott that's only going to net you a gain of 50 lashes, then you'll be sent to the gallows where you'll be hung, drawn and quartered if you ever so much as let an error like that slip again...

For those who don't have a since of humor ITS A JOKE

The question is, will there be a spirit healer near the gallows or will I have to ghost walk all the way back to my keyboard? Any chance I can get a whisp speed buff on that?

Sorry if this isn't the proper place to post this, shoo me away if it belongs elsewhere. I LOVE this UI. It's the only UI I've found that does (almost) everything I need it to, in a nice tidy and graphically pleasing manner with low cpu usage. You have no idea how many UI's I've gone through trying to get something that doesn't look like ants after installation on my tiny 1280x800 (widescreen) laptop! Ty for that!

Now, when I first got this addon I thought I had remembered seeing a discussion somewhere at one point about some development being worked on to have compatability for up to 25 man? I can't seem to find this discussion anymore? Is that in the works at all? I really REALLY want to avoid using anything that doesn't come or integrate with this addon by default. (ie grid. BLEGH!) I'm hoping this new 5.0 release might contain my wish? Please lemmie know! TY and keep up the GREAT work on this AWESOME UI!

Apraxia --

Thank you for the kind word... it is always appreciated... more than you might realize when you keep in mind I'm dealing with many thousands of opinions on a daily basis. ~lol~

As for your wish, yes, it is coming true... 5.0 *will* include the 15/20/25 and 40 man raid support.

On that note Scott any reason why click to cast will not work with the 10 man raid format?

None that I'm aware of.

First, I'd like to say great job Spiel! Wonderful mod that makes playing much more enjoyable for me. I do have a few questions however.

As a healer in a raid setting.....I like that I can have my Player and Target Bars set with a low alpha but I'd like to either move or remove the "Range" from the HUD if possible. I use Grid and place it directly in the middle above my action bars and AZcastbar integrates well so I can move the casting bar....but that range display I can't hide without losing HUD functionality.

Anything I can do to change that?

Thanks again for a great mod and keep up the great work!

spiel2001 · 02-08-09, 08:05 AM

Thanks for the kind word Phugger.

For now, the only way you can remove the range from the HUD would be to edit the HUD skin and comment out the ["Range"] component in the target skin. ( i.e. nUI_HUDSkin_PlayerTarget_Target.lua etc.)

Scott, I noticed something odd the last few days.I put Recount (Preservation) and nUI info panel dual stats in.When I'm mounted and I run through mobs that attack me my fps drops and the game hesitates and sputters.If I get a few on me then it crawls.After I play for a short length of time the fps goes lower and lower.I even noticed that nUI was using more memory than Questhelper.nUI came back down below it again after a few minutes. It 'seems' like it rises in combat.Grouping is horrible, I on;y group with my wife because I can't play other wise.

I am going to take both out and see where it's at then.On one toon , the game locks up on exiting...I deleted the saved variables and it exits now.If you have any suggestions I am open.....and if you want to see a list of other mods I'll gladly show you.

Let me know what you find here. I might also suggest you try the old "clean install" approach as well. I know it's a pain, but it eliminates artifacts from other mods, etc....

1) Exit WoW and rename WTF to WTF.Saved and rename Interface to Interface.saved

2) Without installing any mods, log into WoW on any of your toons and set up your video and audio preferences as you like them then exit WoW again.

3) Install the latest release of nUI into your Interface\AddOns directory and log back into WoW... does everything work correctly? (It should -- if not, let me know)

4) Begin installing the third party mods you would like to use one at a time (such as Omen3, Recount (Preservation), DBM, etc.) and test after each install to make sure everything is still working correctly. If something breaks the UI, you'll know which mod it was and we can look into why it broke.
