Rosoaa's UI

Version: v3.1

by: Rosoaa [More]

UI Goal:

This UI is meant to be extremely informational while being presented in a logical way. Your eyes need to be focused on the center of your screen and not in the top left corner or any corner for that matter. Therefore, that is where I place the more important UI elements.

Organization and symmetry of UI elements are very important to a quality UI as well. Having the correct balance of these are what I strive for.

The user should have the freedom over the UI elements. It shouldn't be up to the creator where things must be placed or what things must be hidden/shown. There needs to be a level flexibility between the creator and user.

The UI should look and perform at the appropriate level. Certain UI elements shouldn't look too nice. Otherwise, there will be unnecessary distractions or things will stand out too much that shouldn't, but on the other hand things shouldn't look like they are not emphasized enough.
This UI is meant for all classes, roles, and play-styles.
v3.1 is meant for widescreen monitors with an aspect ratio of 8:5 or 16:10. This means that my UI will look its best on 1200x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200 monitor resolutions. If your monitor is not one of these resolutions you may need to move some things around. The goal is to eventually have a version suitable for all resolutions.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Installation Guide:
(You must follow theses steps for this UI to look and function the way I have it setup)

Rename or delete your Interface, WTF, and Fonts folders (for a fresh installation or in case you want your old UI back).
Drag or copy the Fonts, Interface, and WTF folders into your World of Warcraft folder.
Open your WTF folder and rename the following folders in your WTF folder "YOUR ACCOUNT NAME", "YOUR SERVER NAME", and "YOUR CHARACTER NAME" to your actual account name, server name, and character name (make sure your account name is in all caps).
Make sure all addons are on. And the load out of date box is checked.
Login to WoW. You should now see the prompt to load Rosoaa UI settings. Select Yes. Your UI will reload.
Go to the video options. Select the resolution and video settings that fits your computer. Also select your preferred sound settings. I suggest taking a look at the addon TweakWoW for addition video/UI settings.
Setup your keybinds/macros. You can skip this setup if you saved your old UI. Go into your old UI's WTF folder and copy and paste your macro-cache files and your bindings-cache files into your new WTF file.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Addons v3.1:
This is not a list of mods contained in the UI (if you're looking for that download the UI and see for yourself), but a more in depth explanation of specific addons that many users probably have never used, so the user can have a better experience.

Many UI tasks are automated or have shortcuts through two addons called wIn1 and !OverSimplified. See their addon pages for a better understanding and configuration. There is a list of UI slash commands below.
Buffet: The addon Buffet creates two macros that can be accessed in the blizzard macro frame (/macro). One is for health consumables and the other is for mana consumables. Buffet will change the macros as needed to provide you with food and drink out of combat, potions and stones in combat, and bandages on shift (HP macro only, of course).
StealYourCarbon: This addon is a reagent restocker addon. When you visit a vendor who sells an item you have told SYC to buy, it buys it for you. Never run out of water again! See the interface options for configuration of your pleasing.
Professions Database / Ludwig: These 2 addons attempt to make minimizing WoW a minimum. Ludwig is an in game database of every item in the game. Type /ludwig to see the huge list. Professions Database gives the user access to every profession, so you always know what craft-able item requires which materials. To access Professions Database go to the professions tab and click on the red panel in the lower right hand corner.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hey Mock, thanks for the feedback

If you like the other versions, you're really gonna like the version I am going to release. There has been a lot of mods I have tried out, since I released 1.7 and today I am in the process of trying some others. Some of the mods I have fallen in love with have been in a beta stage for the past few months and have finally come to a stable state. I don't want to release a new version of my UI, if there are some mods that you will need to update constantly. I also don't want to update my UI constantly because of that.

I was going to release 1.8 last week, but I really want 1.8 to be a perfect layout that all classes will like. The new patch (2.2) is also going to be another issue. I am not sure if I should wait for the patch or update it now, then update it again for the new patch. Of course, most mods are already updated for the PTR, but last patch ag_unitframes gave everyone a problem I did not have on the PTR. I think it's better to wait, but I might just have an urge to release it sooner. I might post a screenshot of the final layout of 1.8, if I wait until the patch. I could probably tell you my decision, if I knew when the patch was coming out. 1.7 is outdated and it's definitely time for an update.

What to expect: A layout all classes can use efficiently. Almost everything will be ace2 and will have dis-embedded libraries. Everything you can possibly skin will be skinned by skinner, so almost everything will have the same borders and background colors/transparency. All of the textures will no longer be smooth and will now be steel. 2 separate versions for all non wide screen resolutions.

Thanks, Rosoaa

Rosoaa A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 107 File comments: 178 Uploads: 1	Hey fawg, there shouldn't be any buffs in the middle of your screen and the bars shouldn't be curved. Everything should look like it does in the screenshot. Did you update any of the ace2 mods? What do the buffs look like? What mod is the buffs? I can't really help you here unless you give me more information or post a screenshot. There shouldn't be anything in between the HUD (IceHUD), except the pet bar. Unless, IceHUD added new features in a newer version that I don't have saved variables for. I wouldn't recommend you do anything yet, until you answer those questions above. If worse comes to worse you will need to do a fresh installation of the UI. Your second post leads me to believe that you didn't install the UI right or something went wrong. The damage should be going downward and it shouldn't be on top of your character. A screenshot would help these problem(s) out. A fresh installation would solve everything, but I would like to know what this is coming from. __________________ Rosoaa's UI

fawg A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Oh yeah, say when a warlock casts all his pew pew dots on me and I see all the damage that's being done to me, it all goes in a straight line going upwards and I can't see my character because of all the text. Is there any way to have to damage fly off to the side and compile up at the bottom?

Click the niagara plugin on FuBar. Open up interface enhancement > Automaton > click on ding then disable it or change the message.

Do you know Photek UI? Photek has 1 version for all non wide resolutions. I need to figure out why and how I can make mine fit all non wide resolutions. Otherwise its such a hassle. I have to keep track of so many different files. I got mixed up a few verions ago and screwed some stuff up. I am getting a new monitor that resizes itself to fit all resolutions, so I will be working on it.

Edit // getting used to the round buttons

cyCircled makes the action bars square or round. I personally like them either square or round (thought I try something new). Recently cyCircled came out with a new version that has like 8 textures. They came out with new textures and removed the square texture. They released a plugin for cyCircled that has the square texture along with others. In order to get the square texture back you need to dl the plugin. Go to wowace.com/files and scroll down. Download the addon cyCircled_Onyx, thats the square texture.
