I'm assuming you got no error messages, correct?

yes i have mobinfo addon, don't know for sure if it was like this b4 i downloaded it or not but can test it out if you want. and another thing is that keybind 1 and 4 as i know now doesn't change properly when stealth and unstealth... and no error message

Okay -- the keybindings problem should be fixed by the update I just released. And I would consider removing MobInfo and see if the problem goes away. Bliz has changed how mob health is handled I don't know if MI2 can handle it anymore.

ye will delete mobinfo. i have down loaded the new nUI after the keybinding fix and it seems like all keybindings works except button 1 and 4, keybind 1 only works sometimes, have to look it up more to give a better description.

Well... since you and Frighten are both reporting a problem, I'm not going to dispute that there's one there... which is really frustrating given I spent many hours testing it on my rogue, warrior, druid, lock and hunter today and after the fix I never had a keybind problem again.

It also concerns me that you're only seeing the problem on buttons 1 and 4 as they are all managed together as a group... there is no special treatment for a given button... so they should all work or none work. That's *really* puzzling to me.

If you can give me the sequence of steps that reproduce the problem reliably, I'll see if I can reproduce it on my end and find a fix.

I might also suggest, just to be sure it's not a mod conflict, trying to run nUI by itself and see if the problem remains or goes away. If it goes away, then we'll need to figure out which mod we're conflicting with and then figure out why.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Frighten -- same advice for you... try running nUI as the only enabled mod and see if the problem goes away. Also, make sure when you log in that nUI is printing that version 3.02.00 is loaded. I can't for the life of me imagine why the problem is continuing for you as I played many hours today without encountering it again.

Again... to be sure... I'm not disputing it is there, I'm just miffed by it is all.

have played a little now and i see that none of the keybind 1-9 works if you break stealth with a "stealth breaking" ability like ambush or garrote, but if you stealth with stance button and unstealth with it again all keybindings works, and i haven't done anything with my addons, and just tested with only nUI addon now to and it is the same as above

Okay... after a slew of e-mails back and forth with a few rogues I've been able to sort out why so many people are having this problem and I did not. I don't have an easy solution yet, but I'm working on it.

I'll update as soon as I can work a fix.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Hello there
Im new to this forum but not new as user from nUi, im using it from almost the start i think version 1.06.This Interface rocks , even in Raids like SWP,BT its very stable and realible.When patch 3.0.2 came out i needed to use the standaard interface again from blizzard, and trust me that was like hell for after using nUi for months and months.When version 3.0.1 beta was released for public download i was to happy so i started tested arround to see if its still stable.First problem i got was not one single bar, minimap was gone.Well i deleted my WTF folder because there was still data inthere from the older version i liked 1.08.When rebooting wow again then everything worked fine.

But there is one bug , thats why posting here.Im playing a hunter and like most people know , hunters playing with spammable macro.When im using macro he starts casting STEADY SHOT. But when i push macro again, the casting bar just freeze.The casting is not broken,only the bar stops showing the % it freez at 5%.Even with the new version you released today the problem exist.

So maybe if this is possible can you take a look at it please,because i just LOVE your nUi.

Zangband · 10-27-08, 11:27 AM

have noticed that blizz unit frame that you have taken away still show combo points

Petrah · 10-27-08, 12:21 PM

I've been waiting awhile for you to release this last version, and I'm quite impressed with it... amazing work indeed!!

A few things I wanted to ask

The fonts. They have a black outline on them and that black outline gives the fonts a blurry effect. Being in my mid 40's, I simply cannot read that blurry text (I had a headache from eye strain after about 10 minutes). Is there any way to turn off the black outlines on the fonts?

The action bars. I'm a clicker and seldom use hot keys. During a fight when I go to click on a spell, a tooltip box appears giving a description of the spell. Is there any way to disable the tooltips on the action bars during battle?

The background graphic towards the top of the screen. I noticed last night when I went to help my room mate with nUI that his top graphic comes down further on the screen than mine does. So like, he has Fubar and put some addons up there, whereas on mine there is no room for my Fubar stuff because it's up too high (let me know if you need a screenie and I'll get one for you). I checked his video settings in game and they're the same as mine (since our monitors are exactly the same size and from the same company), so I'm unsure why his sticks down farther on the screen than mine does.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I installed nUI with a fresh Interface folder and fresh WTF folder, and I run 1280x1024.

Hope that grandbaby is doing well!

Zangband · 10-27-08, 12:50 PM

just wanted to ask you if its the same for shadow priests that mindcontrol, as i recall it there actionbar changes when they do, and change back after

Small problem with "WIM 3.0.2", might not be nUI's fault but..

If I close a WIM window, I either get a error, or WoW crashes so I don't get to see the error (I'll try to get the error).

It doesn't happen however when the "minimap button bag" is opened. (The window closes to the Wim button so to speak).

Anyone else had this or is it just me ?

Did you try to disable all other addons except WIM, and troubleshooting from there?

I am using both, no crashes on mine...yet

BAD SPIEL2001 BAD NO COOKIE FOR YOU. Thats a -50DKP Mister.

Oh on a side note this was the same issue as you had after becoming a zombie but now that that's gone its kind of a mute point.

Not yet, but it seems to be happening more with the latest nUI.

Will try it later :-)

Zangband -- thanks for bringing that to my attention... I missed that frame when I changed how I'm managing Bliz's default frames. It'll be fixed in the next update.

Well... I'm 50 and trust me, I feel your pain. Trust me on this too... you do *not* want to lose those black outlines. If you think reading those fonts is hard with them, try it without them. Without the contrast the black outlines provide the fonts disappear into the background of almost any and every graphic they overlay regardless of where it is, which is why Bliz puts those outlines on all of the fonts.

That said, if you're really militant about wanting to be rid of them, you'll have to search the code for the keyword "OUTLINE" and replace is with "MONOCHROME"

The action bars. I'm a clicker and seldom use hot keys. During a fight when I go to click on a spell, a tooltip box appears giving a description of the spell. Is there any way to disable the tooltips on the action bars during battle?

This can be done, but it won't happen soon... at least not until the WotLK release / nUI Beta 4 -- In the meantime, one solution would be to try using '/nui tooltips fixed'

The background graphic towards the top of the screen. I noticed last night when I went to help my room mate with nUI that his top graphic comes down further on the screen than mine does. So like, he has Fubar and put some addons up there, whereas on mine there is no room for my Fubar stuff because it's up too high (let me know if you need a screenie and I'll get one for you). I checked his video settings in game and they're the same as mine (since our monitors are exactly the same size and from the same company), so I'm unsure why his sticks down farther on the screen than mine does.

nUI automatically detects the presence of FuBar and moves the top console down to account for it. If you want to install FuBar, go for it and nUI will adjust itself accordingly.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I installed nUI with a fresh Interface folder and fresh WTF folder, and I run 1280x1024.

Nope... doesn't matter at all. nUI should fit itself to any resolution WoW supports.

Hope that grandbaby is doing well!

That she is and thank you for the though ~smile~
