This UI is of course inspired by a very cool game called Aion: The tower of Eternity! I loved the interface that they used in the game. Everytime i watch videos of the game I think to my self man that would work so well in world of wacraft. So thats what brings me here today with this UI. This is my Ode to Aion.
Here is a link to the offical Website for Aion: Tower of Eternity
Supported resolutions: 1440x900 Widescreen.
Installation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Step one: Rename your WTF and Interface folders to WTFold and Interfaceold
Step two: Unzip the Crystal UI to either your desktop(or where ever you want to unzip the files)
Step three: Put the interface folder, WTF folder and Font folder in your world of warcraft directory (should be C:/Programs/Worldofwarcraft)
Step Four: inside the WTF folder you will see an account folder. Enter that folder and inside there you will see a folder that says ACCOUNT NAME. Rename this folder to your log in/account name. Make sure you put your account name in all caps!
Step five: Inside the ACCOUNT NAME folder you will see a server name folder. Rename this folder with your servers name.
Step six: Inside the Server Name folder there is a Character Name folder. Rename this folder with the character you wish to use this ui with.
Step seven: Log in.
When logging in for the first time: Type
/reflux switch Crystal UI
you must include the caps! very important!
Addons included:

Re: Pet bar
I promise promise promise to have this updated tonight. I have worked extra hard on the action bars, making sure they change right when you are in a vehicle, possess, pet etc. Most of the issues you guys speak of will be fixed.
like i said i PROMISE to have this up tonight. Logging in right now to finish up. One small issue i am still having is with duel specs. When I switch to my alternate spec, then mount one of the argent mounts for the daily quests in icecrown, i do not get the action bar that i need. But in my primary spec it works fine.

Re: Re: Pet bar
Thank so much for your hard work and for sharing the results with us. It really is such a pretty UI. I think some of us get frustrated because we don't know how all this is put together (since we didn't do it) which makes it difficult to troubleshoot. If we're raiders (as I am) and the UI does "weird" things, it risks our inconveniencing 24 other people - which is not a happy thing.
Any extra documentation you can provide for accessing the config for addons that don't show up in the Blizzard Addons menu (assuming your UI did something that makes its normal functionality not work - we can look them up otherwise) would be great. For example, I was trying to move the tooltip anchor, but despite using what it said were the parameters for the addon, the anchor never showed so I couldn't move it. I also couldn't get any kind of options window to show so I could make the tooltips opaque, as they can be difficult to read. Is this something that is locked down because of the UI's configuration methods? Thank you again! |

Re: Re: Re: Pet bar
I have explained all the commands for all the different mods I used. For the tooltips you can type /tip to see the options. click show anchor then you can move it where ever you like.

Questions
Hi, thanks for the updated UI. Opie is awesome, I've been having a blast configuring that for my druid. Really keeps the UI clean/minimizes the number of things you need an actionbar for.
Couple questions/comments: 1. What are you using for the time? I actually got rid of simpleminimap and went to ricominimap to try to fix it (I use 1920 x 1200 so I needed to move stuff). I can move the map, but the time stays in (the wrong) place. The time is just stuck where it's stuck. So is the mail button. 2. Microbar? I have no idea where to find it. Are we supposed to add it ourselves using the addon of our choice? 3. How do you add your own panels? I made one as a background for my chat box (used artwork from Aion site), added to the artpack folder, added it to the .lua file there, added the panel to Kgpanels active iibrary, made a new panel....no graphic. I reloaded UI, I logged out, logged in, making sure the Crystal UI Artback addon was enabled...I have no idea why I can't get it to work. I would be happy to send you the graphic, but I don't want to have to reinstall/reconfigure everything from scratch again. I've spent more time trying to get this UI to work than playing WoW. lol 4. Just curious as to why the party artwork is different from the target artwork? IMHO it doesn't really blend with the UI as well (it's too harsh) and isn't nearly as pretty. I changed my party art to the Target art (including portrait overlay). Please let me know if this was bad to do for some reason. I did NOT create copies of the original art, just have multiple things pointing to the same .tga file. Hopefully that's ok and doesn't cause issues. 5. Stance changes on macaroon bars? When I switch forms on my druid, the action bar doesn't change. I didn't change the settings in Macaroon so I know I didn't break anything. 6. There's a ton of "garbage" in the saved variables folders. Bindpad, adapt, geist, azcastbar, discord stuff, errorredirect, neonchat, ...the list goes on. People who don't know about the saved variables folder could go nuts trying to figure out why new/changed addons have weird info/funky settings in them. It also could cause those addons to fail if there have been major revisions to that addon since the creation of that saved variable file. I also don't know if there's risk of corruption of those files, and if there was, if it could make WoW bug. GMs are always ranting about addons and deleting the wtf if there are issues, and I've wondered if "ghost" saved variables could corrupt and contribute (I have no idea). Just food for thought. Thanks for the help!

Re: Re: Questions
Ah, that's why if I disabled it the problem would go away. I am not familiar with fluid frames so I didn't know it was SUPPOSED to move the time. No wonder it was stuck! LOL It's so odd that it was making Bartender go crazy, too. I disabled fluid frames, have Ricominimap installed with the option to hide the minimap border as well as the clock, and I use fortress/uclock instead. My server is Pacific and I live Central, so I like showing both my time/server time. If Simpleminimap breaks (I haven't been able to find anything newer than October 2008), if you are unfamiliar with it, RMM works well and is maintained. Is it safe to "lose" Portfolio and Fluid Frames if I don't have a clock or calendar button? For whatever reason, I still cannot get my tga file to work. I wonder if it's because I made the targa file using PhotoShop on a Mac (I play WoW on a PC). Or if it matters if it's a 16, 24 or 32 bit per pixel file, or if it's because mine is RGB? I tried with and without RLE compression, so it wasn't that. I've never tried adding my own (ok, I "borrowed" it but it was edited by me!) art before and I'm new to KGpanels. I tossed together something quickly just for giggles, but basically I took a screenshot of the various web site pages for Aion, and cropped/edited a gold box, and filled it with a golden yellow. For now, using just a regular box with Blizz's Parchment 2 for fill and the Wood Achievement border doesn't look to bad. I may spend more time coming up with something but I am not very proficient in Photoshop. If I get something I like (and I can get it to load properly in KGpanels!), I'll get a screenshot and post it for you. I also want to find something to use as a background across the bottom to sort of "anchor" everything. Who knows, I may hate it once I try it, but I thought something in teal (smile) could be pretty. I will probably try cropping a section from the wallpaper here: http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/aion/aion-blue.jpg As for Macaroon, I nearly gave up, but I finally got things working. I still don't understand all of its features, but it's doing what it's supposed to do and I'm happy. It took a LOT of trial and error, though. How funny that the party frames are from Aion. It's their vision I guess, but I personally found the mix of delicate actionbar/target art and coarser party art to lack harmony. Ah well, no one died and made me arbiter of good taste. Thanks again.

hi, i have mods set up already, but would absolutely love to use the artwork that you provide in this all-inclusive UI.
is there a way to just install the artwork for the frames and not include the extra mods that you do so i can use my mods that i already have? ie. bartender instead of macaroon and xperl instead of stuf? i've never changed artwork on WoW, so i'm assuming it takes more than just moving a folder to my addons folder and presto it's there. thanks for the help! |

Re: Chatbox and Background Graphics
I took some graphics from various pages on the Aion site and worked my poor Photoshop skills on them. The chat boxes work, the backgrounds don't load so I'm obviously doing something wrong with them. If you're interested, you can download the graphics from http://www.4shared.com/file/10498464...alArtPack.html There are three chatbox options, and the two non-working backgrounds in the zip file. I'm using chatbox2.tga, and once I changed the various chat colors to make them brighter and the font to Diablo, I love the way it looks. I'd be interested to see what you think. I'm actually happy enough with the chatbox graphic (I use it for chat, carbonite mini-map and carbonite quest watcher), that I don't think I need a background across the bottom at this point, but I'd still love to know where I went wrong with the tga files. |

Reflux doesn't seem to want to work. When I tried using it, it didn't change my UI at all, it just left it as a huge mess. X_X
