Correct -- those buttons are the Death Knight's runes which appear in the HUD already, as well. They are critical to the DK's casting which is why they are located on the unit frame and on the HUD which is where the player would normally be looking during combat. While your personal preference would be to locate them at the top of your screen, I think most people would feel that was too far away from where their eye is normally trained.

Again, if you like, you can edit the layout for the unit frames to relocate them or to remove them.

first, let me say thanks for making such an awsome mod =D i'd previously been using a bunch of mods that gave my UI a look that has become to be known as. "The Box"...its Square..and its box shapped. Moving along. nUI addon(s) pretty much wiped out need for about half my addons.However they're were some i was sad to see go =*(. Thus bringing me to the reason of my very long winded post! =D. two things about the addon, 1. Is it possible to track 25 man raids with it? *i see the 10 man raid option but T_T i play a healing druid..occasionally.. and need to see every1..and would really hate getting Grid again...* 2. The Map...i'm sorry...but default blizzard map, with the option of having it being a Square or circle is an eyesore. So My question is..is their any plans of having custom artwork to replace the look of the map? or is it possible to intergrate the addon: SexyMap, with nUI somehow?..Note: I'm not some uber1337 addon writing...dude, so i have no idea how hard it would be to write a code that allows use of Sexymap w/nUI.. T_T otherwise i would try and do it myself..looking at blocks of code makes me dizzy though...

Lastly, thanks for reading through my wall of Text.Sorry for bringing up the raid frames, if some1 else already had in an earlier post i did not see it..mostly because 81 pages of text is....78 pages too many for me to read through T_T

The hud buttons are all right its the buttons on the players picture would i still have to play around with the code to move or trash them

spiel2001 · 11-17-08, 11:07 AM

Yes -- you would. I would be interested in knowing why you would want to.

Okay... first... the minimap... you can disable nUI's management of the minimap using the command '/nui minimap' and then continue using SexyMap if you like. I'll also have a look at the mod and see what it looks like, etc. What is it about the mod that you're attached to?

Second, no, there is not a 25 man raid panel yet. I am expecting to have the 15/20 man in the next update, but the 25 man is not likely to make it into that one... nor the 40 man. I would suggest using Grid until I get those panels. You can just disable it when you're not raiding.

Thanks for the kind words, as well.

First I would like to say that this is a great interface that you developed spiel. I'm quite new to the whole WoW Community, my brother got me hooked on it. He's been playing quite awhile and was very impressed by it as well as a lot of my fellow soldiers, who I didn't know also played WoW, and they all wanted to know where I got it from and its name.

With that said....

I looked (well I skimmed) through the forums and I couldn't find exactly how to move the mini map from the far right to the center of the interface. So any guidance would be appreciated.....thanks ahead of time

spiel2001 · 11-17-08, 12:39 PM

Astrin -- make sure you have the latest version installed (4.02.00) and the minimap should move itself to the center of the dashboard. If not, when you log in, before you select a character, click the AddOns button at the bottom left of the character selection screen and make sure the AddOn "nUI_InfoPanel_Minimap" is disabled.

PS: Airborne All The Way! Houhaa!

My brother is the one who initially got me going on it and he's been playing WoW for quite awhile now. And then come to find out some of my fellow soldiers play it as well. And alot of them asked about your interface and complimented that it was a great utility.

Which begs the question: How many PLFs can you fit in a GP bag?

~lol~

PS: Seen the key to the DZ anywhere? I'm still looking for that pricky-7

I don't know if this is an issue with nUI, other mods or what. It seems that my messages such as "You are too far away" "Target needs to be in front of you" , messages about not being high enough skill to mine, herb, etcs. ore not showing up. They used to show up in red on the center of the screen.

I am trying to track down what is causing this and was wondering if anyone might have some insight of what it is.

I have tried looking in interface settings, /nUI options and did some searching on the net but haven't found anything.

Thanks

spiel2001 · 11-17-08, 02:52 PM

I can tell you that nUI does not modify or manage the Bliz error frame at all.

My recommendation would be to try disabling mods one at a time and retesting to see when the messages reappear, then you'll know who the guilty party is.

spiel, did the DK panels get added yet? I was on with my wifey a few days ago ( we both started DK's) . The default DK panels were showing up for controling things, (which was fine!), we just couldn't see the health of them beasts we were riding.

I was Navy, I was stationed on a Marine transport ship..amphibious assault ship.

Edit: in a previous post I saw a hud with straight bars, is that a command in nUI? I didn't see it before.

spiel2001 · 11-17-08, 05:27 PM

That was a separate HUD mod someone was using, with the straight bars, instead of the HUD built into nUI.

As for the DK panels, I think you're actually referring to the vehicle panels as they're the ones that overlay the dashboard when you're riding a beastie of one sort or the other. The answer to that question is that nUI does now include a unit frame for vehicles, but you still can't see it when you're in one because the default Bliz vehicle frame is still overlaying it. I hope to the Bliz vehicle frame embedded into nUI in the next update.

And I suppose now would be a bad time to make a crack about jar-heads, squids and flotsam, huh? ~grin~ (kidding)

Keybindings in the vehicle frame still seem to be bugged.
I can't use them with nUI

Have a look at nUI: Config [Blizzard Runes] created specially for you.

mscott998 · 11-18-08, 12:39 AM

No i haven't but will give it a shot. Thx

KiwiiDawn · 11-18-08, 07:33 AM

Okie Guess my post got lots in the mail lolol..

How do i move my carbonite map info the left side info panel where you have the map/omen/recount/stuff.
I download and installed the nUI -- Minimap Infopanel mod hoping i could use it to put it there but no luck. I use my mini map with in my carbonite map, and this would be very nice to have it in that spot with the other stuff too.

Spiel,
Used nUI exclusively for past few weeks.

Running latest production code //with mid 62DK 70Mage and 40ish Priest//
(Curse actually updated while I was at work... sweet)

As requested for comment: Other than the right-click focus known issue I have not experienced any major unexpected bugs.

I even have scale UI on and set to lowest without incident.

I did observe that if I alt-tab away from WoW before the UI finishes loading (during the queue or the animated load screen) the frames do not appear correctly and I get nice opaque "blocks" around the elements (2 big black blocks where HUD should be). This is fixed with a simple /rl and I imagine its not so much a nUI issue as it probably has more to do with my setup and atl-tabbing away during start up.

Still lovin the nUI

~Request for when you have time:
Between the added code for the runes and Kodewulf's rune mod I am pretty set for my prefrences
...but... (don't ya hate the but) in future releases do you think it could be possible to make the runes part of the hud config so we can turn on/off and relocate (up or down).
I've come to rely more on the HUD rune power bar and the "lighting up" of the runic abilities more so that watching my rune bubbles flash and change color (blood's red to death's purple etc...) so the rune "bubbles" are more of a hindrance than a help at this point, a visual distraction drawing my attention to the flash and away from the HUD and the Action.

Thanks Spiel

[Addition] Btw... I noticed when I group with other players the background frame for the default blizzard party frames shows up (though the frame and portraits do not) I can right-click and set transparency to Zero easy enough but I didn't know if you'd consider this a glitch or not.

spiel2001 · 11-18-08, 10:01 AM

I had forgotten about that item and failed to put it on my issues list. I did put it on the list this morning, so I'll work on that as soon as I can.
