Key bindings for stance bar

PigtailsofDoom · 12-01-10, 04:07 AM

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if nUI just doesn't have this feature yet, but it would be awesome if we could assign key bindings for the stance bars. My main is a druid and I tend to switch back and forth every few months between trying out nUI and other interfaces. I noticed last night that I couldn't assign key bindings to my different shape shifts, which is something I really like about bartender/dominos. In some raid fights it's very convenient to just be able to use a key binding to switch into travel form to move out of fire quickly and then shift back into Moonkin form when I'm safe.

Also, this is unrelated but another question I wanted to ask. It seems like nUI uses up a lot of RAM. Typically it's around 15 to 20 but occasionally it uses up as much as 30. This tends to cause a lot of lag for me as I don't have a dedicated graphics card (and the graphics card is crap anyways but it's a laptop so I can't upgrade it), even with trying to lower the refresh rate as suggested on the faq page. When I was playing last night I was only getting 2-6 fps in Silverpine Forest, I usually get about 20 to 30 there. I don't want to know what my fps would be like in one of the cities or in Northrend... Is there any way to fix this or is this working as intended and I'll just have to deal? I am using some other add ons, but not that many... I also don't recall having this issue to the extent that I am now, when I was using nUI back in June.

You can key bind the stance bar... press "Escape" to open the game menu, select "Key Bindings" and scroll down to the "Special Action Button" section... those are the stance bar. The default key bindings for them are CTRL-F1 through CTRL-F10

As for the memory thing... 30meg honestly is not that much. There are quite a few posts here in the forum on the subject. That said, I do realize that the garbage collection is causing issues on older systems and nUI6 is looking to address that. However, that said, the biggest issue you're up against most likely is the new graphics requirements for WoW 4.0 -- they are pretty intense... the patch dropped my frame rate by about 20fps on my laptop, as well. Play with your graphics settings and see what you can manage there. In my case, one thing I did was switch from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and that made a pretty nice improvement. I would recommend you try the nUI6 alpha and see if it improves your frame rate, as well.

Thanks. I did try nUI 6, but I think with running both nUI 6 and regular nUI at the same time there was so much memory usage it didn't do much to improve things, lol. nUI6 was using about 15 to 17 MB on average on top of what regular nUI was using.

Yeah... but regular nUI uses much less memory because of nUI6 and if you watch nUI6 memory use, it does not grow like nUI5 does.
