DrGlenn's Aion UI

Version: 1.16

by: DrGlenn [More]

Now includes an optional cobalt blue color scheme!

This is my take on a verbatim Aion UI for World of Warcraft.

This compilation supports a resolution of 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 out of the box.

Crafty users can make this work with other resolutions.

This compilation contains the following addons:
-----------------------------------------------------
- Align
- AdiBags
- BugGrabber
- BugSack
- Chatter
- Chinchilla Minimap
- DockingStation
- Dominos
- ErrorMonster
- Grid2
- HideRaidFrame
- IHasNoScope (custom mod by Zork)
- kgPanels
- Masque
- Masque_Aion
- MikScrollingBattleText
- OmniCC
- Postal
- Quartz
- Raven
- Reflux
- SellJunk
- SharedMedia (including LibSharedMedia)
- shPerformance (including shMem)
- StatBlock Durability
- Stuf Unitframes
- TipTac
- tullaRange

I take no credit what-so-ever for the above list of amazing addons.
I merely made them work together to bring you an Aion-like-experience

Kudos & credit goes to every single author of all the addons

!Read the included "README"-file for in-depth installation instructions!

Useful slash-commands and tips:
-------------------------------------
"/adibags" - bag config
"/stuf" - unitframe config
"/quartz" - casting-bar config
"/dominos" - actionbar config
"/raven" - buff/debuff-display config
"/tiptac" - tooltip config
"/dockingstation" - LDB display container config
"/grid2" - for grid raidframes config

You can change the minimap tracking setting by hovering over the minmap and clicking the middle mousebutton.

The LFG-window, PVP-window and Calendar are all accessible from 3 buttons left of the minimap. See below image for reference.

I've also added 2 buttons for quick access to the Dungeon Journal window and Pets'n'Mounts window. See below image for reference.

Most addon settings can be adjusted using the default Interface-menu.

Every addon in this compilation can be updated manually, except for:
SharedMedia
LibSharedMedia
Dominos_XP

Pre-release versions of this UI can be viewed @ the following locations on YouTube:

!Enjoy!

- v1.16
Updated addons included in the UI

XP-bar now properly hides during pet battles

Replaced shMem and shPerformance with Statblock_FPS, Statblock_Memory and Statblock_Latency.

Modified Elloria's Buttonfacade_Aion (later/currently known as Masque_Aion) to work with the latest version of Masque (which recently dumped Buttonfacade legacy support). Elloria of WoWinterface fame still deserves full credit for the original artwork and mod.

Tweaked player health a power bar positions (by a few pixels) to fix texture misalignment in the 1920x1080 version of the UI

Modified LFDungeon and LFPVP button onClick events in order for them to work with latest WoW API changes

- v1.15
Updated addons included in the UI

- v1.14
Updated addons included in the UI

Anchored minimap overlay texture to the actual minimap itself instead of bottom bars (hopefully fixing strata related bugs)

- v1.13
Updated addons included in the UI

Repositioned the quest and achievement tracker (chinchilla)

Changed strata of minimap from medium to low in order for LFG and PVP icon tooltips to be visible (chinchilla)

- v1.12
Updated addons included in the UI

Removed SimplePowerBar since Dominos is now handling the ExtraActionButton and EncounterBar

Replaced Parrot with MikScrollingBattleText (MSBT) and reconfigured ErrorMonster to output in the MSBT Notification scroll area

Added 2 buttons for quick access to the Dungeon Journal window and Pets'n'Mounts window. Both have working tooltips and will autohide when a PetBattle initiates.

Reduced the number of buffs and debuffs shown at the Target and Focus unitframe. Number of buffs are now 24 (down from 36) and number of debuffs are now 20 (down from 40). This was done to reduce UI clutter in the top of the screen.

Removed faction info from tooltip

Added dungeon-role icon to Grid2's right-frame position

Softened the hard edges of the Target and Focus unitframe texture for both the cobalt and golden version of the UI

Fixed the background alpha for the castbar(s) in the golden version of the UI

Note: when starting a Pandaren character, the PvP faction icon located to the left of the Target and Focus unitframe healthbar will bug out and display a solid green frame, until you actually select a faction (Horde or Alliance).

- v1.11
Updated addons included in the UI

Added new castbar textures for player/target/focus with improved transparency

Added onLoad code to every kgPanels texture to force hiding during PetBattles

Enabled Stuf Unitframes option to hide during PetBattles

And did a bunch of tweaks I've already forgotten about!

- v1.10
Updated a few of the addons included in the UI

Fixed all the frame-level issues related to unitframes, castbars and nameplates.

Added SimplePowerBar to reposition the AlternatePowerBar

Added ErrorMonster to get quest-info output sent to Parrot

Attempted to fix the XP-bar tooltip flickering issue by disabling the tooltips for shMem, shPerformance and shLatency. Crude fix == might not work.

- v1.09
Updated almost every addon in the UI for WoW 5.0.X compatibility

Removed ACP (AddonControlPanel) because of bugs

Replaced RaidHide with HideRaidFrame

Added Ace3

Removed TotemTimers due to Shaman changes. Stuf will display totem cooldowns instead.

Disabled overheals and loot in Parrot

Configured PriestBar and ChiBar in Stuf. Reconfigured DeathKnightRuneBar.

Disabled BossFrames in Chinchilla

Added custom tooltips to the customized LFD, PVP and Calendar buttons.

Removed insanely bloated font from SharedMedia (wqy-zenhei)

Fixed onEvent script(s) in kgPanels, in order for the customized raid-background to show/hide/resize properly in raids.

And loads of other tweaks I can't remember ;)

- v1.08
Added optional cobalt blue textures (finally!).

Added modified ButtonFacade_Aion textures to go with the new cobalt blue color scheme.

Added modified Dominos-XP-bar to mimic the original Aion experience bar. Including tooltip function.

Added Zork's IHasNoScope addon for error message handling.

Disabled the Grid2 icon from the DockingStation bar.

Updated the included addons to latest stable version.

- v1.07
Updated the included addons for patch 4.3.

Replaced ErrorMonster with Haste's IHasNoScope error-spam-management addon.

- v1.06
Added Grid2 for raidframe support!

Added RaidHide to remove every last bit of the default Blizzard raidframes (including the annoying left side-menu)

Removed text on mouse-over on the XP-bar. It was unreadable due to the tiny height of the bar.

Updated AdiBags

- v1.05
Repositioned class-specific power bars: holy power, soul shards, eclipse and runes.

Repositioned and stickied stance bar.

Repositioned tooltip anchor to above and slight to the right of the minimap, similar to what you would find in the native Aion UI.

Replaced Bagnon with AdiBags.

Replaced TipTop with TipTac (yay, TipTac is up2date:).

Replaced SatrinaBuffFrame with Raven. Raven is a worthy replacement, it's up2date and it rocks!

Removed TinyDPS. I couldn't find a fitting location for it, and ultimately it goes against the Aion theme and spirit to add any sort of damage-meter to the UI.

Disabled ticks from showing up on the player's castbar.

All remaining addons were replaced by the latest version found on WoWinterface and WoWace.

- v1.04
Updated for patch 4.2

- v1.03
Added support for 1920x1080 ! (quite a few people requested it) ;)

Removed TipTac, replaced it with TipTop.

Focus-target health percentage text was missing - fixed.

Focus-target-of-target raid-icon was missing - fixed.

Player power-bar color has been changed to class dependent.

- v1.02
Every single healthbar and powerbar re-configured to get the proper round-edge-blending with the associated texture.

Target health value text removed and replaced with a look similar to the original Aion-style, which in essence divides the target healthbar up into 4 quarters of texture each representing 25% health.

I also opted for having the exact target health percentage listed on the right side of the target unitframe for when you need to know the exact percentage value. ;)

You can still obtain the exact total health value by mousing over the unit and read the tooltip.

Mrplow was removed due to a plethora of bugs under 4.0.6.

A bunch of addons were updated, and many of them were tweaked.

- v1.01
First release.

Thanks! That should leave me all set up as far as my UI goes. Still, we can only hope that stuf implements a graphical cue to indicate if a mob is tagged.

if you want i have a extra account i dont use if you need to log and do stuff. get the raid frames from Aion instead of grid...the ones that look like the party frames you currently have.

If you want to move unitframes around (target, pet, focus target, party) use:

Code:

/stuf

and select the option "Unlock all frames" (I think that's what it's called - something along those lines at least) from the menu on right.

If you need to move action bars around you use:

Code:

/dominos config
or simply
/dominos

If you want to move cast bars around, use:

Code:

/quartz

and unlock each cast bar under the separate categories (player, target, mirror, focus, pet etc.).

You can move the raid frame by using:

Code:

/grid2

and un-check "Frame locked" somewhere in the main options menu (after that, simply drag the edge of the raid frame background).

About the raid frames, I'm afraid I won't be switching to oUF even though it would result in a much better Aion analogue for the raid frames. One of the reasons being that Grid2 enables me to use a few simple kgPanels scripts for positioning and re-sizing the raid frame background.

Also, if I ever were to switch to oUF for the raid frames, I would probably also want to use it for the remaining unitframes instead of Stuf Unitframes, and that would require a lot of work. I haven't tried building a custom oUF layout from the ground up before.

You could also argue that even though the original Aion raid frames were pretty, they weren't very practical, particularly for healing classes where debuffs, buffs and low health bars could easily be missed.
Grid2 offers a very functional and familiar raid frame to most WoW players.

Yes - unfortunately I don't get around to updating the addons a lot, since I stopped playing.
I try to keep them working after every big patch (5.4, 6.0 etc.), but I haven't updated the res-mod lately.

ok all good on the main pc at max res

Unfortunately, the 1366x768 WTF mod isn't updated for the latest version of the UI (latest UI version being 1.16).

As it says on the DrGlenn's Aion UI [1366x768 mod] page:

It may be that it works fine, and the problem you are experiencing is related to something different, but I can't know that for sure.

An excellent observation - I completely missed that myself.

Meljen is correct - you seem to be running the UI on a WoW resolution other than 1920x1080 or 1920x1200, in which case I can't help you much.
You could check out my mod I made for 1366x768, but I doubt it would solve your problems, seeing as you are probably using a different resolution:

has to be something else then

The two screenshots I quoted showed me that you had in fact copied the addon folder(s) correctly, and that the game had loaded them correctly - both of which are not a given when I'm not there looking over your shoulder during the "installation" process. By saying that I'm not trying to insult you - there are a lot of small steps that could go wrong. Especially when I don't know how proficient you are with computers. You could be John Carmack - I don't know.

It also showed me that although the addons were successfully loaded their individual settings were not.
Those settings are located in the WTF-folder, specifically the global settings "SavedVariables" folder under each WoW account sub-directory.

In my haste I often forget to rename the WTF folder(s) correctly during testing when I'm updating the UI. And the result I get is identical to those two screenshots.

Maybe it gets better the more you play, but I only had 10 days and was unable to level beyond 90 (XP locked).
At this point in time I've come to realize that the game I loved to play probably doesn't exist anymore.
So much has changed and most of the people I played with have moved on.

I do occasionally think about giving WoD a better shot - get to the endgame, find some friendly people to run casual raids with, run some BGs, see how the game fares at that point, but yeah - not sure atm.
Maybe when Blizzard sweetens the deal and runs a discount on the WoD box.

Regardless, I'll still be tweaking this UI.

The best thing i love is the name plate for when u click on a target....main reason why i want the UI...your name plates lol.

Don't get cute. I'm trying to help you, and frankly I'm not obligated or paid to deal with that level of patronizing bullshit. You chose to use my UI, which I provide free or charge (and refuse to take donations for, even though people have offered it; the reason being I don't provide any original code. This is merely a remix, if you will).

Glad we got that out of the way.

Secondly, I know what your problem is:

... because those screenshots are great - they show me exactly what I need to know.

You haven't named your account sub-directories in the WTF-folder correctly (this is a very, very common mistake).

Goto the "WTF" folder and then the "Account" folder. Inside the "Account" folder you'll find another folder called "ACCOUNT_NAME".
Rename this "ACCOUNT_NAME" folder to your actual Battle.NET WoW account name. Not your Battle.net account name (there is a difference).

This can in fact be a little tricky because Blizzard changed the naming scheme for WoW accounts a couple of years back. If you had a WoW account before Blizzard chose to consolidate all of their games under a single Battle.NET account, then your current WoW account name should be your old username. The username you used to log into WoW with (SephirotthhXX, PwnMeister59, Horde4Life etc.)

If your WoW account is of a more recent date, then it gets a bit more tricky.
The easiest way (AFTER, you've tried to run WoW with all the addons in the UI pack, unsuccesfully) is to go into your "WTF" folder and then into the "Account" folder and notice what other folders are there, apart from the "ACCOUNT_NAME" folder.

Usually, it'll be a folder named "202938#2" or something similar to that. Copy the name of that folder, delete the folder and rename the "ACCOUNT_NAME" folder to whatever the folder you just deleted was called.

Use the image below for reference:

After that it's all happy days, sunshine and unicorns.

ok first off i am very cute so lets get that out of the way ....secondly the point is screens and no errors wont show you what is wrong and this is confirmed by you telling me that i didnt rename the account folder.

well i def did that ... i renamed it to Tez which is my toon i am logged on in those pictures so that cant be the problem.....i did exactly as the directions told me to do

has to be something else then.

i will try it again though just for the benefit of doubt but i did exactly that the first 3 times as well and i keep getting the same and on 2 diff machines now.
