    HUD not showing
    Bug #: 8997
    File: nUI [Retail]

    Status: Not a Bug
    My HUD display does not show since the WoW pre-patch was released. I opened nUI Movers and there is nothing showing.
    On another note, I have noticed that when my character gets inside max range to cast a spell, the spell icon on the spell bar does not show as a possibility to cast; even though I am.
    I delayed posting a comment thinking that it would be caught by one of the updates.
    Addons I have going is Titan, ACE, Decursive, Big Mods, nUI dual stats.

    Luncellent (mage) of Feathermoon.

    The Hud is controlled by the button at the top of the screen. It has been working ever since the addon was created nearly 15 years ago.

    It appears when you target an enemy, so try it with a distant enemy or a test dummy and then click the button on the top until you find a hud that suits you. One of them is nohud so it might be that you have cycled to that version and not realised it.

    Give that a go. And let me know what happens.

    As to the highlighting problem, I suspect that is linked to the new changes to backdrop blizzard added. It seems to have darkened most if not all of the buttons. I raised the alpha rating to help but it hasn't helped much.

    Another possibility is that Blizzard has changed how the buttons react to availability of a spell which may have broken what nUI does. I still don't understand the complexities of nUI's coding to see what I can do there without breaking anything else.

    Looking at the button coloring .. it's not something I have touched ever so it is as it was added by Scott.

    nUI_DefaultConfig.ButtonColors =
    {
    ["OOR"] = { r = 1, g = 0.5, b = 0.5 },
    ["OOM"] = { r = 0.35, g = 0.5, b = 1 },
    ["UNUSABLE"]= { r = 0.45, g = 0.45, b = 0.45 },
    ["CDC1"] = { r = 1, g = 1, b = 0 },
    ["CDC2"] = { r = 1, g = 0.6, b = 0.6 },
    }

    Looking at my lowbie demon hunter the Soul Cleave ability requires mana/power to work .. so, when it is low it is in the unusable state. Although, if I click on it, it just does an auto attack rather than its actual move. So, confirming the fact it is unusable.

    Blizzard also added the button system to their new mixin system so there is a chance something is missing in nUI's code but when I first noticed this problem I scoured the place and found nothing missing in nUI's code that is in the base code for the same functionality. In fact nUI does additional stuff, so I checked that too, again something I haven't touched myself.

    I've played most of my characters since Pre-Patch but only my Hunter since it went live but I haven't been able to tie down what is causing the issue myself.

    nUI does build a table of spells to aid in identifying usability but I would hope that isn't a permanent list but one recreated each session but, it's always possible that Scott stores this information somewhere and it is now out of date.

    I thought I had one created but have created a bug report on curse to help remind me that it is an ongoing investigation ( I have several of them ) in case something springs to mind during gameplay.
