nUI [Cata Classic]  Updated Today!

Version: 4.4.0.54558.1
by: Xrystal [More]



Preamble
Sometime before 2018 Scott made the decision to step away from nUI development and maybe even WOW itself. So that his baby would go forward without his assistance he placed the addon under Creative Commons license to enable others to carry on maintaining it. I was one of the people he asked if I wanted to be one of the developers going forward. At the time I wasn't playing the game at all due to funds but as per usual, expansion came along and it was time to get my characters up to speed, as well as my addons. So I monitored the CurseForge page and found disappointing customers, I then emailed Scott and had no reply. I decided I would take up the baton and try and keep it at least running with as few problems as possible, my skills are not on par with Scott so it may take me longer to identify some errors than it would for him.

Scott's Last Patch Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.02.00.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Updated TOC for WoW
* Re-released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommerical 3.0 Unported license

nUI is no longer author supported and is released to the public in the hopes that the
community will continue to support and grow nUI in the years to come. My sincere
thanks to everyone over the years who have helped make nUI what it is (was).

Now
I will keep this maintained as long as I am able to and try to keep WOW non access to a period of working I will of course fix any errors that are identifiable without access, or available via lowbie access if money causes me to take another break.

Going Forward
Depending on the legalities of the license, I will either attempt to create a more robust version of nUI using the newer Blizzard API functionality or more likely attempt to create my own UI from scratch, that works in a similar vein to nUI for those that just can't play without it, I sure missed those InfoPanels

Issues
I've now been added as an author on the curse project for nUI so can you please post any bugs and issues there where possible so that they can be tracked that little bit easier. But feel free to post here if you are unable to.

WOW Version: 4.4.0.54558

Versions
nUI [Beta] - Retail / Classic / TBC Classic / WotLK Classic
> Intermediate Patches prior to moving to Release
nUI [Alpha] - Retail / Classic / TBC Classic / WotLK Classic
> Development Versions for long term testing - say for an enhancement or Pre Expansion Updates

nUI [WotLK Classic]

Classic / Retail
Due to my version numbering system I have decided to keep Classic and Retail versions separate but there may be multiple Beta/Alpha versions about but the file name will confirm which nUI/WoW version it is for.

================================================================
4.4.0.54558.1 - Cataclysm Classic
================================================================
* nUI_Button.lua
> This was some testing done that I forgot to take out, but, it is the lesser of two evils.
> What I did is remove ( comment out ) the event code for "ACTIONBAR_SLOT_CHANGED" which was added for override bars that have buttons that add over time.
> The reason being that it looks like this also causes in combat error messages and alot more often than the odd override bar quest.
> So ...
> 1. Feedback for any in combat error messages received
> 2. Feedback for any override bar issues - work around is to temporarily turn off nUI for those quests/situations
> 3. Dependant on feedback I may remove nUI's version of the override bar and let Blizzard take full control there and just hook into any functions to correct
placements of buttons and the frame etc.


* nUI_Minimap.lua
> Moved MiniMapLFGFrame ( The Moving Eye ) minimap button so that it has a permanent ( hopefully, at least for now ) position next to the minimap bottom right side.
> I haven't tested usage situation and whether it moves via Blizzard functionality or not. But it does show up where expected.


================================================================
4.4.0.54558.0 - Cataclysm Classic
================================================================

Based on Version 3.4.3.54261.0

And ..

* nUI_PowerBars.lua
> Changed Paladin and Warlock power bar names
> Added Druid Eclipse Power Bar
> Alternate Mana Bar appears for all those that need it
> Tests:
> Warlock Shards - On Live Level 10 - Appeared and Worked as expected
> Rogue Combo - On PTR Level 80 - Appeared in HUD and worked as expected
> Death Knight Runes - On PTR Level 80 - Appeared in HUD and worked as expected
> Druid Eclipse - On PTR Level 80 - Appeared and worked as expected
> Paladin Holy Power - On PTR Level 80 - Appeared and worked as expected

* nUI_Range.lua
> CheckInteractDistance now doesn't allow friendly distance checking while in combat
> This error only appears to occur once

* nUI_UnitFeedback.lua
> Line 1032 block hitType 33 was showing as invalid but that should be 32 + 1 ( shadow + physical )
> If the hitType shows as unknown it sets the hitColor to red.
> There is another problem here that is causing this anomaly when the hitType is calcuable.
> The error message I displayed was popping up constantly, I can imagine to a regular gamer this would be more than annoying.
> So I have removed the error message and just set the hitColor.
> This note is to remind me of the likely cause ( probably UnitGUID(unit_id) == unit_info.guid comparison check)

* nUI_Units.xml
* nUI_Unit.lua
* nUI_UnitSkin_SoloPet.lua
* nUI_UnitSkin_Raid10Pet.lua
* nUI_UnitSkin_Raid25Pet.lua
* nUI_UnitSkin_Raid40Pet.lua
> Pet Happiness Removed

NOTE: I forgot to put code back in that I was testing by removing it..
It will likely affect how the override bar will work in some instances. Please let me know if there are any issues in that regards. On the flip side, not having that code in might limit the number of in combat errors which I believe is in part caused by my attempts at getting nUI to play nice with Blizzards changes to the bar.

Re: Nui

Is there a way to change where the item rolls screen appears. It drops in the middle of the screen and blocks most of my spells. I have to click to get rid of it quick before another mob appears. Can we change it to the side of the screen.

Nui

Like I said it's the only major bug I truly have found and I just overlook it now. It's more like a joke now when we leveling. It's like hay grats your 80, or your 80 with 700 health man what are you wearing..lol

Yeah, that is one of those bugs I haven't been able to track down yet. It appears to be linked to a mouseover unit being grabbed and used at the same time as the update of the unit frame ( at least when its the player info being changed ). Unfortunately the area of the code that may be causing it is tied into a large part of the code, so my one and only attempt at correcting the issue, actually broke the rest of nUI so I reverted.

Hopefully though, my changes ( later on ) regarding the mouseover frame may help fix this problem. So fingers crossed that it will. But this is the main reason I believe a full rewrite is needed so I can better understand the nUI Cache system which I think is the underlining cause of the problem.

The good news is that a reload will fix it.

Thanks

Glad you like it.

It needs a full rewrite though to bring it into the 2020s API properly rofl. But as long as I can keep nUI working the best it can while I figure out the best way to do that while keeping the majority of nUI's functionality intact - be it via Blizzard or via nUI. But I have 2 years before the next expansion ( if they keep to their normal process ) so hopefully I'll have a working copy by then.

I seriously don't know why more people don't use this UI it's the best that I have played with, you get all your spells on overview and it's easy to navigate.

Hmm the runes should be there. Oh, WotLK Classic. I'll take a look when I next hop on the game. It should be an easy fix to make.


Correction:
The code is all there, no errors, but the frames are simply not appearing. So, will take a little while to track down.

Final Edit:
Problem solved ( code was too new ) and an update being uploaded

Latest Update Issues

Please be aware that the vehicle action bar code wasn't completely transferred from the retail version of nUI. I have transferred the code over now but haven't got round to testing it tonight. I aim to test it on Wrath Classic PTR with a level 70 hunter to do a quest that changes the bar. And then quickly test to make sure the rogue/druid action bar switching in combat works as expected.

Once I am happy I'll post up the changed version.
