nUI -- A full feature standalone UI replacement

In the Beta 1 the XP/Rep bars were smaller I think and I got griped at that the 20 bubble bars were too hard to read, so I went to 10 bubbles. I suspect I could go back to 20 now though.

mscott -- I'll add that to my to-do list for the next update. I meant to do it in this one but forgot to put it in the list.

If you want to do it yourself between now and then, you'll have to edit three files... Interface\AddOns\nUI\Bars\nUI_ButtonBar.lua -- Interface\AddOnes\nUI\Bars\nUI_XPBar.lua -- Interface\AddOns\nUI\Bars\nUI_FactionBar.lua -- all three of those files have a default config near the top of the file -- you'll need to tweak the values of their 'yOfs' settings to move the bars. The two sections you care about the in nUI_ButtonBars.lua file are nUI_BonusBar1 and nUI_BonusBar2

Truly an AMAZING UI.

Having a quirky problem. Using FuBar, running at 2650x1600 (30" monitor).. when I mouse to the top (I have auto hide panels selected) the top graphic shows Fubar integrated but it shifts to the left.. when I don't have auto hide, the top grahpic is shifted to the left does not fill the screen to the right.

Thanks,

Medi

A slight misunderstanding here ... it wasn't me with the problem but maybe my explanation was problematic ROFL!

hi, got a small problem, QuestHelper is not working and no quest tracker is working either (QHelper, QGuru or blizz tracker). Also i couldn't find any way of removing a totem (dismiss) from the "battlefield".

I reinstalled the addons in question, deleted cache and WTF folder but still nothing changed.

P.S. Excellent addon, could use some opacity option and some sort of key bindings.

thanks

Hey flooddrop,

Hope the following is what you were looking for re key bindings (yes, I was also wondering about them lol):

Tehryn -- With the exception of the two bars that are located below the chat frame on the left and the info panel on the right, the bars all support the standard Bliz action bar keybindings in the Interface/Key Bindings section... the pet bar and the main action bar use their respective key bindings. The bar immediately below the main action bar to the left of center uses the "BOTTOM LEFT" key bindings, the one to its right uses the "BOTTOM RIGHT" key bindings. The two bars that are 2x6 on the left and right of the unit frame panels use the "RIGHT" and "RIGHT 2" action bar key bindings.

[flooddrop]

it kinda helps a little, but what i was aiming for was something simpler to use, the system that bongos uses for example (hover your mouse over the button, press a key and voila!)

thanks for the info tho.

flooddrop- If you updated QuestHelper today, it's kinda broke now....many ,including myself, have no Quest Helper

spiel, I'm gonna attach my taint log......probably not able to track down the taint....but who knows.Dammit, won't upload...and I don't want to post it all...GGRRRRR!! any suggestions?

QuestHelper 0.53 (the latest version) seems to be bugged. Several people are complaining that it's just not showing up (exactly like your problem). I suggest downgrading from 0.53 to 0.52 and it should work. I had no problems with 0.50 and nUI, but still haven't upgraded to later versions (didn't know there were newer versions until today!).

[Tehryn]

Hi Spiel,

Just a question: is it already possible in nUI to set the coordinates precision to zero (so that we see, for instance, 49,50 instead of 49,6 50,1)? If it isn't, could it be implemented as an option?

Here's a bit of code I slapped together to execute some stuff on startup. It's mostly used for moving things around or disabling certain options. Feel free to modify or provide suggestions.

Regardless of what you do or dont do to try and satisfy everyone its a fact that there will always be someone gripe about something

[viper31fox]

ok i probly missed it but how do u move stuff like the minimap to the middle of the screen??

[Narind]

I recently downloaded nUI and I really like it. I didn't have much time to test it out, but one thing I did see that could be a deal breaker for me to use it is the fact there isn't a prowl bar. I use prowl quite a bit and was wondering if/when there would be a bar swap for prowl.

Keep up the great work you're doing!

As one of those who asked if it was possible to change the xp bar to the Blizz format (with 20 divisions) I don't really see my request as a "gripe". For just over 3 years I used the Blizz xp bar, got used to it, and have actually come to like it. Having said that, I am flexible (in mind, not so much in limbs) and should Spiel decide that my request is, in his opinion, not a valid one then I would simply live with that.

MediEonar -- if Fubar docked to the top of the display (not free floating) and is it the full width of the display?

Fred - no need... the issue is with QuestHelper, not nUI.

Tehryn -- that's not possible at this time, but I suppose I can add it to the to-do list.

Thanks for that Kodewulf

Viper31Fox -- at present, there's not an easy way to do that. I'm going to upload a mod to nUI this week to handle that though.
