Where are the nUI+ download instructions? - Page 2

This is a huge violation of blizzards terms of use. You cannot charge money to download addon. Providing it via a privileged group on wowinterface does not make it any less of a violation.

World of Warcraft User Interface Add-On Development Policy

With the continuing popularity of World of Warcraft user interface add-ons (referred to hereafter as "add-ons") created by the community of players, Blizzard Entertainment has formalized design and distribution guidelines for add-ons. These guidelines have been put in place to ensure the integrity of World of Warcraft and to help promote an enjoyable gaming environment for all of our players - failure to abide by them may result in measures up to and including taking formal legal action.

1) Add-ons must be free of charge.
All add-ons must be distributed free of charge. Developers may not create "premium" versions of add-ons with additional for-pay features, charge money to download an add-on, charge for services related to the add-on, or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on.

2) Add-on code must be completely visible.
The programming code of an add-on must in no way be hidden or obfuscated, and must be freely accessible to and viewable by the general public.

3) Add-ons must not negatively impact World of Warcraft realms or other players.
Add-ons will perform no function which, in Blizzard Entertainment's sole discretion, negatively impacts the performance of the World of Warcraft realms or otherwise negatively affects the game for other players. For example, this includes but is not limited to excessive use of the chat system, unnecessary loading from the hard disk, and slow frame rates.

4) Add-ons may not include advertisements.
Add-ons may not be used to advertise any goods or services.

5) Add-ons may not solicit donations.
Add-ons may not include requests for donations. We recognize the immense amount of effort and resources that go into developing an add-on; however, such requests should be limited to the add-on website or distribution site and should not appear in the game.

6) Add-ons must not contain offensive or objectionable material.
World of Warcraft has been given a "T" by the ESRB, and similar ratings from other ratings boards around the world. Blizzard Entertainment requires that add-ons not include any material that would not be allowed under these ratings.

7) Add-ons must abide by World of Warcraft ToU and EULA.
All add-ons must follow the World of Warcraft Terms of Use and the World of Warcraft End User License Agreement.

8) Blizzard Entertainment has the right to disable add-on functionality as it sees fit.
To maintain the integrity World of Warcraft and ensure the best possible gaming experience for our players, Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to disable any add-on functionality within World of Warcraft at its sole discretion. For more information...

If you are an add-on developer and have any questions about and this User Interface Add-On Development Policy and how it pertains to the add-on that you've developed, please don't hesitate to email us at WoWUI@blizzard.com.

You have no clue what you're talking about. There is no charge for the add-on.

I believe Scott checked with Blizzard that what he was doing was within their ToS.

It would seem that someone neglected to read the Announcement at the top of every thread regarding how to gain access to nUI+.

I'm fairly certain that if the aforementioned person had read that post, they would have found out that there is a simple 4 step FREE process for gaining access. There is no charge for access whatsoever nor is it ever implied. It is mentioned several times in that post that the addon is FREE though. I can certainly understand how FREE could be misinterpreted though and warrant a rant with huge font needlessly used......

Followed it TO THE LETTER, still do not have access to nUI+.

spiel2001 · 04-07-12, 07:33 PM

In spite of your charming attitude, you should have access now.

Have a nice day.

Jordro · 04-18-12, 11:48 AM

Just a friendly FYI that the "http://www.nUIaddon.com/plus.html" info is shown at game login when I first installed nUI ...

Also the sticky at the top of this forum says that the FAQ is at http://www.nuiaddon.com/faq.html which is broken

Looking forward to seeing nUI+ when you have time to approve my group request!

I requested access to nUI+ 3 days ago and have yet to gain access to it. So far I love the original UI and would like a chance to check out the + version for 25 man or more raids. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I was pretty sure I followed all of the instructions given on the nUIaddon.com site. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Xrystal · 07-15-12, 11:58 AM

Scott may be the only one able to give you that access and he is currently MIA.

Leahona · 07-15-12, 02:09 PM

Oh wow, hope he is okay and thank you for the response.

Everything still in action? I notice NUI (main release version) is kept somewhat up to date but not many (if any) recent posts or any form of activity within the past couple of weeks. I've not been waiting long, only since yesterday evening so not too concerned for now (plus still testing UIs for now).

Plus I'm a little curious. Is nUI6 the same as nUI+

spiel2001 · 03-29-13, 10:11 AM

Yes... I'm traveling with family for a few days... you should have access now.

Xrystal · 03-29-13, 10:15 AM

nUI6 is a more updated rewrite of what nUI is. It looks somewhat different. I personally don't like the look of it so I am sure I'll end up writing some customizations to fit my taste.

spiel2001 · 03-29-13, 10:17 AM

What are the changes that tweak your eye Xrystal?

Cheers for the access. Just replaced release version with + version now.

I'll take another look but I think having the xp bar I think at the top of the screen messed me up. Its more a personal thing for me.
