nUI -- A full feature standalone UI replacement - Page 137

spiel2001 · 02-17-09, 10:34 PM

It appears I have broken gmail.

nUI's supporter list has grown to 188 people (out of nearly 200,000 downloads) and apparently Google mail is not very fond of that number. My outbound account has been suspended for trying to e-mail too many people in a given period of time... and this may have happened the last couple of days as I was sending out e-mail notices on the 4.0 patches, as well.

So... if you sent me an e-mail and didn't get a reply, please know that I have, as of tonight, replied to every e-mail I have received both donation notices and questions. If you didn't get the reply, or you didn't get a thank you from me for your donation, please know it was because my outbound e-mail account appears to be temporarily suspended, not because I didn't send it.

In the meantime, I've been working with Kodewulf on transferring nuiaddon.com to my own server and the transfer is now complete. I'll be working on getting that set up on my server tomorrow after work and I'll set up an e-mail address on that domain I can send updates out on without having Google choke on it.

If you have a white list... please add [email protected] and [email protected] to that list.

Good night all.

That said, I do see that in non-widescreen formats the vertical scale is not squaring correctly. I guess there's going to have to be a 4.19 /sigh

The display resolution was at the bottom of my post, "1280x1024 res", but i see that you got the jist of waht i was talking about anyway.

Scott,

I'm having an issue with the pet happiness icon in nUI v4.19.00. I can't get it to bring up the food window, and I have the same pet food I've always used (Salted Venison).

What I did for troubleshooting to ensure there wasn't another addon conflicting; renamed my Interface and WTF folders, re-downloaded nUI v4.19.00 and installed into a fresh Interface/Addons folder and also a fresh WTF folder. Logged back into the game and still have the same issue

I have no other addons installed except nUI.

Let me know if there is anything you wish for me to try, or any other information you need. I'm using the previous version of nUI right now so I can have access to the pet feed window (which I don't mind at all).

This update fixes a layout engine bug in the pet feeder window which was throwing an exception for nil value in math and blowing up the window. It also removes some legacy scaling information from the saved variables file which may have been causing layout problems for users who have been around since nUI's earliest days and used the '/nui scale {n}' option.

The current release is (or will be) available for download at any of the following locations...

My continued thanks to everyone for their support!

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 to 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!

Wouldn't it be better to hide the Map icon (showing night and day, yay!) from minimap and put the Calendar there instead (oe, it blinks! what's new)?

Let me know if this is fixed or not for you now.

I hadn't really thought about it one way or the other. What is currently around the minimap is the buttons specifically related to map functions and the mail and PvP because they are used with such high frequency.

I suppose I could replace the map button with the calendar, I just wonder how many people would end up screaming at me because I did.

Nightspirit · 02-18-09, 05:51 AM

To be honest I always wondered why the + and - are there, since you enabled the scroll button

But that's easily fixed

Would there be an option to keep it the way it is now? My guild leader likes to make raid runs a week in advance, and that silly thing blinks enough to drive anyone batty lol. I forget how she had it set up, but everyone was screaming about the blinking icon they couldn't turn off lol.

There's your first screamer

They're there because a lot of people like to use them as well as the fact that they show the status of your zoom by indicating when you're zoomed all in, all out or somewhere inbetween. Likewise, they're not in the way of anything, so removing them is kind of pointless... aside from my CDO of course ~lol~

Petrah · 02-18-09, 06:26 AM

Range is still covering up the cooldowns

Would it be possible to add the Range indicator to nUI Movers? Or would that just be a bandaid?

To add to this, I'd like to be able to change the font size, sometimes trying to do a quick glance I end up missing what Ia m looking at in raids ( trying to get the heck out of an AoE).. Might be me, but it's just an idea..

Could be optional *hint hint*

Seriously... why? What's the point?

Or is it just an OCD thing?

It's just a bandaid -- the critical question is why is the vertical scale not working at your resolution.

This will be possible in the 5.0 -- initially by making a custom layout from the default layout, then editing the font size(s) that matter to you. Later using the GUI layout tool.

I'm encountering the same stretching issue even with the update released today. If you'd like I can post a screenshot showing the problem. I happens in every resolustion I try as well from 800x600 on up to 1280x1024.

A screeshot with the resolution it was captured at would be helpful, yes.

neuralassassin · 02-18-09, 10:40 AM

Yea scott the range indicator while much improved seems to cover the numbers for the cooldowns just got a new monitor so im using 1920x1080 res now. Same exact way silenias looks. Another question im not sure about, if i have alerts for cd's turned on should the text overlap the icons when it comes up? This may be working as intended if so fine I was just curious more than anything else
