Hud Buff problems

[cdh555]

With nUI 5.07.16 and 4.0.6, the hud buffs no longer display the mouse over information. Self and target buffs seems to work correctly.

Yeah... for nUI5, that's not going to change. The problem is that to be able to show the tooltip, the auras have to be mouse enabled, but they cannot be hidden, which means they are always there even when there's no aura to display. That, in turn, means that you cannot click the field of play where an invisible aura is being displayed. The same thing applies to the auras on the unit frames.

That was a bigger problem than the issue with the tooltip. So, it's going to have to wait for the aura rewrite in nUI6 to be fixed to both allow the mouse and the tooltip.

Sounds sensible, but the way I've found it to work is this.
Upgraded via each release to the latest and have this issue.
Deleted the nui folder and restored the 5.07.14 release.
Now the buff bars on the left look like the latest release and the tooltips all seems to work and so far I've not had any clicking issues.
The only little hiccup is the occassionaly flashing of the default blizzard frames for chars and spell bars but I can live with that as everything else looks good to me!

The default Blizzard frames should not be flashing anymore in nUI 5.07.18 or nUI 6.04.01.00.01 -- if you see items flashing still, please let me know which ones and when.

Maybe wasn't clear, not seen them flashing on the later versions.
Just on the 5.07.14 when I downgrade, that seems to be the only issue, but as I said I'll live iwht that as I can see the hud debuffs etc on that version.

You don't have to downgrade to make the tooltips work. Install the latest version of nUI, then break out your text editor. You'll want to edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > HUD Layouts > {hud mode} > nUI_HUDSkin_{hud mode}_Player.lua ] and scroll down to the ["Aura"] section. Set "clickable = false" to "clickable = true" in the first set of auras and save the file. Now reload the ui and you should have tooltips on your auras using the latest version of nUI.

Note: {hud mode} is one of "PlayerTarget", "HealthPower" etc depending on which HUD you use.

Thats great! edited the _player.lua and _target.lua and with the latest 5.07.18 everything is working nicely for me.

Thanks for the edit advice.
