Wink Mana visibility

I want to see how much mana I have instead of the percentages because its really annoying when you don't know how much mana you have and you just have to spend time calculating it yourself.

Can we have no percentages next to the vitals display and just have numbers? Or can you at least put an option for us to switch between Numbers and Percentages? I wanna see how much mana I have, and the progress bar overlaps the morale vital numbers display (how much morale you have) and that could be adjusted to replace the percentages.

Thanks!

First, your exact mana numbers are shown in the HUD which is designed to allow you to focus your eye where the combat is occurring rather than spending the game staring at your unit frame.

Howeer, that said, you can easily change percent mana for current mana if you so desire. Edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > UnitPanels > {panel mode} > nUI_UnitSkin_{panel mode}_{unit id}.lua ] and look for the section labeled ["Power"] -- In that section you'll see setting for "pct_power" -- change pct_power to cur_power and save the file then do a '/nui rl' and you'll see the percentage mana replaced by current mana. You may need to play with the xOfs and yOfs values after that to adjust the location of the text, as well.

What are morale vital numbers?

Great - thanks for that.

Morale vital numbers; oops using wrong language here for this game hehe. Basically it means the amount of health you got (basically your health stats). We call them vitals on another MMORPG because it is the vital part of where you would most certainly look at throughout the game!

Oh and how can I do the same to the Health bar? Changing from percentages to numbers.

The health bar already shows current and maximum health.

It's in the upper right corner of the unit frame. And, again, these numbers are all in the HUD.

However, I wish for the maximum/current health value next to the health bar and NOT on top of the health bar because the progressive bar overlaps it and it will be harder to see the health bar from there. (Especially when you got alot of time-elapsed skills which are not instant cast. I'm a shaman btw so...)

Same thing... edit the same files and instead of altering the ["Power"] section, alter the ["Health"] section. xOfs and yOfs set the horizontal and vertical positions of the elements. Just move the numbers where you want them.

Ok this may not be relevant to this thread but, the armour/weapon durability UI from Blizzard does not show on the nUI mod. Is there a way of any addon that I could install so I can see my armour durability aswell as my weapon durability? Just so I know when to repair and know when an item is yellow or red.

Hmm, it should appear on the center right portion of the screen.

Type /nui movers and you should see a large square on the right hand side, that should be it. Unless of course you are using something like titan bar which has its own durability display and thus will hide the display of the durability man, although it doesn't stop the /nui movers window appearing

Make sure that you're using the current version of nUI as well... earlier versions did not manage the durability window correctly after the 3.1 patch.
