Niagra now installed as a seperate/different way to go through your ace addons, while duece comander is better for quick changed niagra is better for more indepth changes

MAJOR CHANGES
POO UI HAS UNDER GONE SEVERAL MAJOR CHANGES PLEASE READ BEFORE USING
Firstly sorry for the delay in updates, not much has been changed as far as the core addons, but there are core differences now, as well as visual ones. The popularity amazes me, between Wowinterface, and Curse, im up to 5000 downloads, THATS F'N CRAZY. So ive been raiding lik crazy on my new server, 5/5 SSC 4/4 TK 1/5 Hyjal. Trying to get into BT if people would do those quests (little bit of advice, DO your damn smv quests people...PLEASE for the love of god, especially your faction ones) So this Ui has been changed to fit my needs, its much slimmed down, a little lights some stuff was dropped.
Things your gonna notice off the bat
1) the top bar is MUCH smaller. This is do to the lack of raid frames up there. there are a few things up there still, natur enemy cast bars (well the cd's one) and party frames, fubar that kinda thing.
2) i no longer use the ag unit raid frames. I needed the room up top and switched to grid full time. Its ez to use and customize and there are many many threads/articles/posts on it.
3) THERE IS NO KLH THREAT METER HERE (also known as ktm) My guild has switched to omen, and though omen transfers data back and forth to ktm, it can come out...a bit odd on your meters, the ktm meter has been moved slightly as well, so if you re install it, and get rid of omen you will have to move some things around. THERE IS NO KTM/KLH THREAT METER
4) comabt log was moved as was swstats, xraid status, nothing to big here, everything should be fine.
thats about it besides minor tweaks here and there. If you start doing som bg's i rcomend turning on fubar batlgeground fu (click any open spot on fubar to find it) as i have hidden the minimap icon.
Do to the fact i DONT use my laptop much for wow atm either especially raiding, I have not maid a standard version LOOKING FOR HELP HERE!!!

a review of updates as well as thought of the philosophy of design behind this addon
This is an addon compilation that I have been working on for some time, I used mazzle from the day it was released before this, and decided to try my own. I want to Thank Mazz for giving me the inspiration adn teaching me about so many addons i knew nothing about, Thanks mazz.
INTRO
This ui is based of skinner and ag unit frames at the core, and was built for MY needs as a warlock, I am looking for some help with oteh classes, bu more on that later. The idea for this set up came from mazzlue ui, but I got sick of having every thing all over my screen. So for the most part, everything you need is burried into the two bars. ONly things off the main bars are buffs, SCT player/target/pet/focus/ToT/ToTT and Dot timers.
Though tee are a few extra things hiding in fubar that i will probably be pulling off (still working in the background) THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, that being said, heres whats being looked at.
THE BARS
Now when you open up the poo ui, u see 2 gigantic bars. the bottom bar/main bar consists of 7 panels made by skinner. The left panel is for chat. several chat windows are layered including a general chat, which is all your chat info, a party/raid chat, guild chat, private chat and a combat log.
The right panel is for combat logging, the right way using eaves drop. a well rounded combat tracking add-on.
THe bottom enter panel is for your main core of action buttons. Being a warlock, i have a ton. it also has a "farming bar" where i place things like motes and what not for easy visibility, as well as consumables, quest items etc. the pet bar is opposite this farm bar. This panel also contains shard ace, a warlock mod which is lighter weight and simpler than necrosis. I would put druid bar aspect bar etc here as well, but i have yet to mess around with other classes as i only have one character over 10.
The center panel is for mini map, Cool-downs and xraid status, XRS is a highly configurable addon to monitor the status of your raid, mana, health classes, buff people etc. Cooldowns is just what it says, bundled with Dotimer it is a very good addon at tracking all your cooldowns. The left panel contains extra bars and info. Included is autobar, a configurable bar for all your consumables or what ever else u might want to put in there. Trinket menu for keping your trinkets safe and warm. Target charms, no more right clicking for fast targeting. Trades bar, all your trades/skills/professions right at your finger tips. Status window provides things like fps memory and latency, as well as what ever else you might want to add. Also my littl "something extra" bar is here including mounts, and my rank 1 spells for detecting stealth...arenas people..cant sneak up on me
the opposite panel is for ktm and damage meters. Ktm is a MUST have raiding addon for most bosses and more importantly deadly trash mobs. And of course dmg meters for all you big ego people or warlocks with over 1100 shadow dmg..
and finally the top bar is for your casting bar.
The top bar is for raid/party/pets bars, as well as for item rack. as well as cooldowns and other bars from natur enemy castbar. fubar is also located on the top bar whic is a controle center for many addons as well as a quick way to check thinks like rep, freinds guild and other things. The center section of fubar is for timer. dps and top score info.
UNIT FRAMES
THe unit frames are all done through ag unit frames. They are all ment to be NO-BS straight up info frames. They like almost every other bar in the ui is done with glaze texture. From left to right, pet bar, your bar, target of target, target of target's target on the bottom, target, and focus. there is an option to enable focus targets, but i have yet to decide if i want to do this. The top of the frame contains your party and part pets, as well as raid frames. now set up for 25man raids, i have yet to figure out a way to set up so 10/25 man's have a different setup but its in the works. if you doa 40 man, im sorry its not even remotly set up for that. though all the unit frames are dragable.
RAIDING
as stated above, ag unit frames make up the raid frames. also installed is deadly boss mods. Though if you prefer bigwigs, al you have to do is install them, turn of deadly and they are already set up. XRS as previusly stated is already set up so your good to go. ora2 is also installed for raid managment, a ligh wait version of ctraid, it works very well, adn has MT frames set up. Whats that? your raid leaders dont use CTRaid or ora2? well mt assist is installed but inactive, turn it on and add your self some custom tanks. you'll also note ktm is nice and easy to see as well as sw stats, both of these will help you know when your pulling aggro, and who your doing better than in your raid.
Combat/pvp
whats that, want a hightened edge for pvp ad combat. Are you like me and dont play with audio? Well witchhunt has you there with text anounces of nearby actions, like that rogue who just vanished behind a tree, or when magtheridon starts casting blast wave. Damn, if only you knew when the blacksmith's was about to be capped, well between deadly bossmods and capping you have two sets of bars to choose from. capping also has timers for ques and arenas etc. with Banzai and Banzai-auf you will know exactly who has aggro, expecialy if it's you, who ever in your party/raid has aggro their HP bar will turn bright cherry red. Wow nice crit, how much was it for, mus have been a personal record. Well with SCT/SCTD u can know what you hit for, as they are nicely placed on the screen. Ontop of that, Topscore_FU keeps track of your tops hits/crits for all of your spells/heals. yea, thats right 30k curse of doom on curator..sexy huh? With dottimer comes a whole slew of goodies, not only dot timers, but it works for HOTs too, right in the middle of your screan so you will never forget. Cooldown sits in the afor mentioned location and trakcs all of your cooldowns. im working on a way to convert these bars to gloss too
OTHER STUFF
want an extra reminder about your clear castiing? or maybe something for your nightfall proc? type /powa and add in your trinkets, events, If you notice, i have 1 for nightfal, 1 for each of my trinlets, 1 set down around my curse bar for when ever one is missing, one for amplify curse , with over 50 built in textures and as many more as u want to add, you ui will light up like disney land. Tons of stuff hiding awway up in fubar, like guild/friends fu, or swstats fu, or spamsentry, block that gold farming chat. there are many other goodies up there. Elkanos buff bars, simple easy to see, and hey they are in gloss. Item rack is a handy way to see your gear, switch out items quickly, so you can change all your gear in 1 click. there are many other things running around, hiding in tooltips and in windows, any questions feel free to ask them
looking for help
Looking for help from any non warlock classes, as i dont have a high level character, bars WILL not be set up properly, as well as handy dandy addons like aspect bars, or shape bars etc. I will also bee looking for help with a none widescrean version. Im workin on one with my laptop, but its very tiny 12" and i wont ever raid with it, so im not sure. This isnt really ment as a healing ui, so preists pallies..you may be a bit s.o.l. but def looking for hunter, druid warrior rogue mage healp looking for a compact addons spicific to the class

thanks again to all the autors of the many addons i use.
will be pushing out a new version probably tommorow, now using quartz over ecastingbar as well as a few updates etc, trying to get verything to run nice and smooth
Originally posted by holydiver Wrong RangeCheck addon, unless it was intentional ofc.
The one bundled only show have Raidframe, Raidpet, party and partypet support.
aUF_RangeCheck_M have support for all the frames. including target frame.
The lockup when disconnecting in a raid, when raidframes are loaded are most likely a Blizzard issue.
X-perl for example have made a "workaround" for this that puts a delay on raidframe loading to try to relieve some login stress. thus less chance for lockup.
Having some problems with Autobar, i have always had problems with it myself also , but at the position it is by default i get 2 rows. it wants to show heartstone, mount, bandage, mana pot, mana pot, health pot, food, buff food, prot pot. When doing a raid u have alot of pots and stuff at that time, it will overlap the castbar. I had to remove heartstone and mount and compressed some of the pottypes into one icon. and replaced Ground mount and air mount by a leftclick rightclick macro.
Other then that it works ok atm, got a little FPS issues, but that might be 2.1 related.
well, make sure u dl the enwest version of atb, it should be in there, but SOME HOW autobar is f'ing up literayl about 1/5 addons out there, now, im not sure how, but it sems like lpercy of the ui
ill switch range checks, sorry for the wrong 1, hmm, as for the auto bar configure,
typ /atb config, and mess around with settings u can lock/unclock it, I try and tanke advantage of the pop up menus for as much as possible, adn tbqh keep my hearth in my bag, it takes all of .5 seconds longer max, but i guess if ur a pally, and your bubble hearthing, every second counts...lol
id go with the macro to, but i switch them back and forth all the time..

Originally posted by holydiver No sorry havent had the oppurtunity, i had to revert to "unmodded" state to be able to raid serpentshrine yesterday.
went from 60fps down to 7 and got freeze lag, will check it out when in not raiding.
I did however try it out quickly just before raid, and it seemed to work well in normal use, the range check part. I had one problem w the unitframes was partially one of the reasons i had to go clean slate to be able to raid.
When i went in combat the target, target of target and ToTT frame dissapeared, worked fine out of combat though. i guess stuff like this is to be expected in big patch junctures.
something btw grabbed the attention of my eyes in the addons dir.
!OmniCC
OmniCC
I remeber updating my personal addon compilation a while ago and reading this on the scripters "description".
The addon folder name has been changed from !OmniCC to OmniCC. Please Delete !OmniCC before installing
nice, yea im trying to get into ssc atm, but yea the missing frames was do to auto bar...disable it you'll be fine if its still giving you trouble, this new version should be fine

Ok it isnt really that hard, if you use da brain.
This is pretty much something you have to do if you use a pre arranged UI, its unavoidable.
in the poouiX.X.X.zip there are 2 folders
__MACOSX - this is the folder containing the folders u need to use if u use a flapple mac computer.
poouiX.X.X, for example pooui1.0.1 is the folder for the PC user.
Inside the folder you choose, you will find 4 folders.
Addons
WTF Wide
WTF Standard
WTF Healer
1. backup and delete your world of warcraft\interface\addons folder. and copy the addons folder from pooui there.
2. backup and delete your WTF folder, then copy the WTF that suits your needs, for example "WTF Healer" or "WTF Wide" to the world of warcraft\ folder and rename it to "WTF".
3. Final step there are 3 more folder renames you must do. rename
World of warcraft\WTF\Account\!!YOUR ACCOUNT NAME!!\!!YOUR SERVER!!\!!YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME!! DUPLICATE AND RENAME FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
for example
World of warcraft\WTF\Account\BUGSBUNNY\Laughing Skull\Punyhorde
It is in this order your loginname in caps, servername and the name of your characters.
you make a copy of the last folder and rename it if you have more then 1 character.
I am a newb please help i have NOOOOOO idea how to install this.....the read me states:
The installation of this addon works like the installation of many
other addons: extract the archive into your WoW directory (and make
sure that your unpacker uses the path names in the archive!) and have fun!
if only it was that easy....first off it puts it in a folder called pooui 1.0.2
im pretty sure it cant run from there. also there are three folders starting with WTF which i am guessing are for the setup and are needed to make it look as intended inside of each is more folders that need renaming i guess for your account to make this work.
please if anyone sees my desperate plea for help please reply
Originally posted by holydiver ok alot of stuff seems broken atm, understandable so dont take it as criticism cuz it aint.
bugsack keeps throttling.
An addition i strongly suggest.
ag_unitframes - doesnt have any form of "in range" functionality, as it is i have no idea of if any targets is in range or not. it is quite ennerving ^^ i found the cure of this:
http://files.wowace.com/aUF_RangeCheck_M/ this is something you really should add. For healers and decursing classes it is quite important. Especially on those encounters requiring max range MT healing and DPSing.
Unfortunately not a very "userfriendly" addon. as it dont have any menus or easy to understand / command that gives the user any feedback.
but there are 2 ways to do this i will list them by suitability.
1. use the command /aUFR_aid = "spellname" this only works per session though. can ofc be scripted in a macro with /script aUFR_aid = "Holy Light"
2. edit WTF\Account\youraccountname\SavedVariables\aUF_RangeCheck_M.lua
and replace aUFR_aid = nil with aUFR_aid = Holy Light
if u are a paladin
or if mage
aUFR_aid = Fireball
This is a permanent solution making it one class suitable only.
Why the author havent put any more energy into this or why ag_unitframes already dont have this function is a riddle to all living things alive.
ok so, ive offered to trade my account info toa friend so he can use my lock to farm, and i can use his shaman/rogue/druid for the ui testing, he is also gonna help em design a possible healing interface, but i dont know.
