NioUI

Version: 2.38
by: dickloraine [More]

Resolution: 1680x1050 (1920x1080)

This UI is made to fit to the beautiful MiirGui textures and trys to be very lightweight.

Here is a small video, that shows the UI in action.

nioUI replaces many of the default interface elements, like actionbars, map, minimap, questwatch, unitframes etc. It covers nearly anything I consider basic functions of an UI. There are two exceptions: First, you would want to install a Bossmod in addition to this UI. Second: If you are like me, you want to have some other Addon, that tracks and shows your cooldowns, debuffs, buffs etc. which are essential to your rotation somewhere in the middle of the screen. The thing with this is, that each class needs other things and each player prefers other ways of presenting this informations. Fortunatly there are many addons out there, which cover this needs. One you will find in the optional addons pack, that comes with this UI (weak auras).

Update
2.38
  • Updated oUF
  • Fixed special Debuffs recognition
  • Hide unitframes in pet battles
  • Hide panels in pet battles. This is an option and can be turned of. Changed nioUiConfig in line 370 for the option
  • Lootframes are now in a new position

Installation
  1. Backup your Addon and WTF Folder
  2. Optional but recommended: Download and install the MiirGui Texture-Pack and the MiirGui Icons (also available in grey: Grey Textures, Grey Icons).
  3. Copy the folders inside this zip to your Addon folder
  4. Optional: Copy any addons from the optional addon pack in your addon folder
  5. Enter wow
  6. Just click the "Okay" button.
  7. Done!

Configuration
If you want to use the grey theme, go into the ingame-options and check the button.
You can change many settings ingame in the blizzard options panel. To change things not covered there (or you want to repostion frames), look at "NioUi Config.lua" in the nioUI folder.
To change the indicators or the blacklist/whitelist, just modify "nioauras.lua" in the nioUI/Unitframes/oUF_NioDrk folder.
If you want to see other data brokers in the broker display, look into "Broker config.lua" in the nioUI folder.

Usage
Just some quick tips for the not so obvious little features:
  • You can right-click the Minimap for the Tracking-Menu. Middle-clickin opens the calender
  • You can make a mount macro: Just make a macro and enter "/niomount" in it. Drag it on an actionbar. Right-clicking it, will open a menu. You set your flying mount by clicking on the mount and your ground mount by shift-clicking.
  • You will find some tweaks in the ingame-options, like auto-selling grey items, auto-repair (with or without guildfunds), enter your TS/Ventrilo/Mumble Infos and post them vie the option in the raid-broker and some more little things.

Unhappy Not Installing

Hi,

So I love the concept but unfortunately the UI is not installing. I followed your instructions correctly but everything seems to be misplaced still. The only error it does give me is Buffiin can not load profile- resetting to default.

Thanks,
Shadowhawk

I will look at this, when I'm back from weekend vacation. Until then, try to disable buffin and then type this in Chat: /reflux switch nioui

Is your resolution 1680x1050? Otherwise you have to move some things manualy. The background frames are kgPanels (type /kgpanels config to open the menu), the actionbars bartender (/bar) and the unitframes are moveable with /omf.

I hope, this will solve your problem.

Hi, das ist kein Problem. Geh im Addon Ordner in den oUF_NioDrk Ordner. Öffne die "core.lua" Datei im Texteditor. In Zeile 76 findest du "lib.addPortrait(self)". Du kannst die Zeile einfach löschen oder mit "--" auskommentieren, falls du es doch wieder einstellen willst irgendwann. Die Datei speichern und das sollte es gewesen sein.

Ich hab zur Zeit nur einen sehr rudimentären Weak Auras String. Gibt ja nicht soviele Fähigkeiten auf Normal zur Zeit. Hardmode kann man ja erst diese Woche rein. Bin eh am Überlegen, ob die einfache Debuffanzeige mit Weak Auras noch nötig ist, da dies jetzt auch durch Raven übernommen wird. Anderes kommt, sobald ich sehe, was man anzeigen sollte. Bin für Vorschläge auch offen, da ich zur Zeit auch selten Tank spiele, wäre es eh nützlich zu wissen, was da wichtig wäre.

Eine 1920x1080 Version wäre schon interessant. Das Problem wär natürlich, dass ich selbst da nichts testen kann, aber sind ja eigentlich auch nur Positionen und Größen für die Panels und Actionbars. Wenn du die Version fertig hast, kannst du mir ja eine PM schicken und ich werde versuchen sie entweder direkt einzubauen oder als alternativen Download anbieten. Vielen Dank schon mal für die Mühe

Ich hätte es vorher mal ausprobieren sollen^^ Liegt einfach nur daran, dass die Castbar mit dem Porträt verknüpft ist. Aber die willst du natürlich eh erst recht nicht über deinem Unitframe haben. Ein wenig weiter unten (Zeile 111) findest du "lib.addCastBar(self, true)". Das einfach auch löschen/auskommentieren und alles funktioniert

Glad you like it

Of course this is possible. The bar on the bottom is a Broker-Display. So you can add any Broker you like to it. If you right-click the bar, you are in its configuration, where you could enable and disable Plugins and alter the appereance.

You find many plugins here:

Just install them like any other addon. For your request, there seem to be many brokers. Take a look at these:

Hope, this helps

Scaling Help

Hiya, I just wanted to first off state that I love the addon pack, it looks amazing.

Although, I have a couple of questions that maybe you can help me with... I downloaded the miirgui and icons, the optional addons, and the main set of addons. However, for some reason, the ui seems to be a lot larger than it shows in your screen shots (I even have it scaled down to the lowest it will go, I am running at a 1980x1080 resolution). And, for some reason, there's only the main action bar shown, rather than all of the extras that you have in your screenshots. Any idea on how to get it to look similar to yours? I could screenshot how mine looks if it might help you to figure out what the issue is. Sorry if this causes you any hassle.

edit: Okay... figured out how to get the other action bars to show up... So, just wondering if you might know how to remedy the scaling issue?

Unfortunately I can only play in 1680x1050. So I can't just test things for you. I have tested some settings for 1920x1080 some time ago, and it has not looked to big. Best would be, you just disable the UI-Scaling. If it still looks strange, try the macro you find in the miirGUI description. If it still needs tweeking, open nioconfig.lua with any texteditor. There you will find a section called "Position and sizes". There you can resize many things.

If nothing of this helps, a screenshot could be helpfull.

Well, I had tried to play in the resolution given, but things just looked too odd to me (buttons stretched out and everything). I'll put up 2 screens (one with the scaling, and one with it turned off), since I don't want to tweak too much in the text editor since I've never done any of that stuff, so I don't know what any of it will do, and don't want to cause any irreparable damage. lol

Scaling on:
http://i.imgur.com/qBzCr.jpg

Scaling off:
http://i.imgur.com/0AnHA.jpg

Now, just based off your screen shots, it looks like its too big and just scaling is off (probably due to the resolution). I'll try what you suggested and give an edit here if I find something that fixes the issue, assuming you haven't replied back before then. Thank you in advance for the help.

Edit: Now that I'm looking at it, I don't know if its too big compared to your screenshots, or if its just because of resolution difference... Which if that ends up being the case, sorry for being dumb.

Edit2: I was messing with the stuff, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to look like it scaled right (my knowledge is limited though, so I didn't want to try too much and mess everything up lol). But a random other question (sorry for having so many ), for some reason the runes on my DK show on top of the unit frame rather than on bottom... any idea on how to fix that?

Hm, the screenshot with scaling looks a little to big. Try to use no scaling. Maybe my code for resolution detection is wrong. You could first try the following:
In "NioUI Config.lua" you will find a section called "Position and sizes" and there you will find a section beginning with "if Resolution == "1920x1080" then". Try to copy the values between the {} from there to the same variables under "Position and sizes" and then just delete the 1920x1080 section (from "if" to "end").
If this does not work, you have to do it manually. Just start wow and have the lua file open. Change the values und reload the ui, until it fits. One thing to remember: Since you have 240 pixel more, the chat frame and the skada frame need to have more width, or you could go for bigger gaps between UI-Elements.

I changed the position for the classbar some time ago. If you like it more on the bottom, this is possible, but again involves some textediting. Maybe you would like to use a texteditor like Notepad++. Open lib.lua in the oUF_NioDrk folder. Go to line 511 and delete the two "--". Add the same "--" at the beginning of the next line. Now open nio UI Config again. You want to change the position of the debuff bars a little to the bottom.

Hope, this helps

Alrighty. I've got the class bar in the right spot, and moved the debuff frame without breaking anything. If I can figure out how to get the ui to look smaller/normal on 1920x1080, do you want me to upload screenshots so you can see how it looks? That way, if you think it looks adequate, you might be able to put it into the addon pack (or something optional) for people with the resolution to download without having to go through any hassle.
