wanting to use a diff way of displaying my buffs/debuffs so...

Solgath · 01-07-11, 09:39 AM

now, I've been a huge supporter of nUI, but my only really beef atm is the buffs and stuff, my question is, if i disable aura's using maxaura 0 to hide them without using the aura buttons, which btw do not enable me to use maxaura 0, is there a way to hide the buff bars that appear in the left and right corner, the ones that show ur char's name and pet if u have one?

There really isn't a way to do that. As the FAQ states ( http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=23943 ) disabling nUI features to replace them with another mod is not supported.

In addition, setting maxauras to 0 also breaks the HOT/DOT bar, the HUD and several other elements.

Just be patient for nUI6 which will allow you to customize your auras far more. Until then, just stick with the AuraButtons plugin.

its a pain in teh butt when healing having heaps of debuffs and stuff appear with the current version of nUI 5, and i don't really use the hud at all, setting them to 0 doesn't break the current addon i'm using, just seem easier, when there are problems with the aura's, i mean, i'm hanging out for nui6, but tbh with u, i don't see it being here till feb or march atleast.

edit: another problem i should mention is that with using the aurabutton plugin a lot of tooltips don't up date with some of the buffs i get, or when i'm combat and when the time runs out on them, so disabling them is the only really course of action for me

AuraButtons don't change how the buttons work, only the way they display... so there's no difference in tooltips between with and without AuraButtons.

As for nUi6 due date... it'll be in at least close to the state of nUI5, if not past it, before January is out.

i dunno why aurabuttons is doing it, i've been in combat a few times on my feral druid, i use feral charge and it gives me a proc, sometimes when i use it and i don't, the buff doesn't disappear, or i get some sort of buff from being in or near something during combat, like i do Vortex pinnacle and stand in the lightning fields and the tooltip won't show, i have it set to show in combat, and even on default, and checked all my tiptac setting to make sure nothing is wrong there, but nothing seems to help

This has been explained several times, but the bottom line is that Blizzard made the aura buttons a protected frame in WoW 4.0 which means they taint in combat... you cannot move, show or hide a protected button in combat. As a result, the "trick" nUI was using of creating, showing and hiding aura buttons while in combat no longer works. This is why I am having to completely rewrite the aura system for nUI6. Until that's done, you're going to have problems with the auras.

yeah, thats why i started using Elkino's buffbars, seems to do the trick, not sure how they managed to get around the taint issue, but they work properly i love the default way nui handled the aura's just now, with the issues both aurabuttons and the normal way its just not production to use them, when ur healer it makes it annoying when u got it covered by a heap of debuffs, or someone gets a buff or debuff, ur spose to remove and can't cause u don't know what it is or called cause tooltips don't work. thats why i asked if it was possible, but its all cool, i can live with the bars that are there now till nui6 comes out
