Player/Target, moving cooldown bar.

twizt3dkitty · 03-25-12, 05:22 PM

I am editing my layout to my liking and trying to weed out some bugs, doing an ok job, but in a screenshot I found of a plugin, I noticed the cooldown bar was moved to show all the 'debufs' on the target similiar to how xperl works. How exactly do I enable this? ss linked below. I realize that the below shows a friendly target and buffs, but I think what Im asking is basically the same thing, also I would like these 'clickable' for the sake of mouse overs. But I think i have that mod already done.

trying to be a bit more clear about what Im trying to do, as shown in screenshot 1 I can remove the '2nd' cooldown bar circled in black by changing the enabled to false also circled in black. My first question is can someone explain to me the differences in this circled bar and the bar above it?

By making that change I can get my UI to screenshot 2. Much cleaner and to my personal liking in my opinion. (Other ppl may not like this, not trying to offend anyone, I just like this setup).

I am still messing with the 'range' and castbar to get them exactly where I want them, but the concept is there, the 2nd cooldown bar is gone and I still have the cooldown timers on my action bar. Fantastic, now what i have circled in red, i would like to move as shown in the screenshot from my OP. Also illustrated with an arrow in ss2. i would like these 'clickable' so i can mouseover for the details shown in the box circled in blue.

Now circled in blue, It looks like the same debufs or cooldowns listed in that nice little box. How can I hide or disable that box as I believe it shows duplicate information. unless someone can advise me otherwise.

Circled in green are the Players buffs, I kinda like these here and not next to the health mana bars, but while Im learning here, where would I modify the code in which lua to have these be moved next to the hp/mana bars should I want them to be.

Once the red is moved, and the blue is gone, I would move the range and cast bar to refit the screen. I have figured out how to do that on my own.

Thanks in advance, I know Im changing quite a bit here.

*edit*
Interesting, by changing what I have changed my fps go to hell like <=5, altho nui un modded seems to be dropping my fps as well, having only nui+ installed im around 35-40fps, using sli gtx480s.

I think you may be very much misunderstanding what all of these things are. I might suggest you have a look at this FAQ and all of the labels in the image so you're clear on what each section is.

There is only *1* cooldown bar. Player buffs are only in one location and have never been next to the health bars. etc. I think after you look at the image and labels, you'll begin to see.

All of that said, the player and pet buffs, and target debuffs are defined in the ["Aura"] section of the corresponding [ World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > UnitPanels > {panel mode} > nUI_UnitSkin_{panel mode}{unit}.lua ] files.

The easy way I remember where the buffs/debuffs are, are as follows:

Good Stuff at the bottom left/right. Player Buffs, Target Debuffs - We like those

Bad Stuff in the hud left/right. Player Debuffs, Target Buffs - We hate those

thankyou both, that image made things alot clearer, so what i really want to do is hide the cooldown bar entirely and move the auras off to the side of the hud. Any ideas on why modding this makes fps go to hell however? Im going to try to start over now that I know whats what.
