LUI v2211  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2211-15
by: loui, Siku

LUI v2211 Dragonflight 10.0.2 Edition, with new versioning


Important:
- For technical support please go to the LUI Discord Server

To access the Twitter integration stuff, either disable the Chat module or type /share

If you are doing a new install and you see that the frames are overlapping, or unaligned, you need to move the frames yourself:
Chat (BottomLeft): Go over it and right click on "General" tab of the chat frame, click Unlock Window and drag the tab around until you have the frame in a position you like.
Omen (MiddleLeft): Type "/omen config" (without quotes) and uncheck Lock Omen, drag it around, once you're done, check Lock Omen again.
Recount (MiddleRight) Type "/recount config" (without quotes) and go to Window and uncheck Lock Window. Move it around, and lock it back up when you're done. You're free to re-enable the Report, File, Config icons if you want.
Raid (BottomRight): Type "/lui", go in Unitframes and change the Raid settings. Then move the lone raid frame with your name around. You may need to reload UI for changes to apply (Fix pending)

LUI is a World of Warcraft User Interface overhaul dedicated to replace the standard Blizzard UI in a way you cannot imagine.

Main Features of LUI:
- Full automatic installation
- Support for all addons
- Support for all resolutions from 1280 pixels in width up to 1920
- Over 200 Textures that will make your WoW look better than ever before.
- Option Panel with more than 3000 possibilities to make your UI unique.

Installation:
- (Optional) Rename your WTF and Interface folders to keep a backup of your old UI.
- Put the Interface Folder into your WoW Directory
- Start WoW
- Enable all Addons
- Enjoy!

Addons:
LUI
Bartender4
Masque
Omen
Recount
Embedded oUF
BugSack

Optional Addons found in the Extras folder
SPTimers (replacing the defunct Forte)
Details

Note: If you pick Grid, Grid2 or Vuhdo make sure you go in the lui options, under Frames, then "Raid" and choose the appropriate name from the dropdown menu to have the texture correctly applied.

Thanks to all of you for waiting so long!
I hope you like it!

---------------------
http://web3.india025.server4you.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7178


LUI v3.5.2
---------------------

UI Elements:
- New texture for the infotext bar at the top. This one is much much larger. There should be no differences for people using small resolutions (up to 1680x1050) and should come as a nice feature for people using larger ones (1920x1020) or even have dual/triple monitor setups.
- You can now attach the Raid Texture Panel to Blizzard's default raid frames by using the dropdown menu.

Unitframes:
- Vengeance has been updated again.
- Added Firelands Stuff to Raid Debuffs Icons, if you are using the LUI raid frames instead of Grid.
- Fixed a few issues with Health and Power Updates.
- If a boss has an Alternate Power, it will be displayed in place of the power bar. An example would be Onyxia and her Electrical Charge bar.
- Fixed some issues with the Reputation and Experience bars.
- Fixed issues when petframe was disabled.
- Added some more options concerning Party Frame Visibility

Infotext:
- Fixed the faction logo for BattleNet Friends. So now you can tell your friends are being traitors and will be marked with traitorous logos next to their opposite-faction characters.

Fader:
- Fixed a few comat issues.

Chat:
- Potentially fixed an error that would appear on extremely rare cases, and would end up disappearing after the ui is reloaded. Written as "potentially" due to the extremely rare and probably unreproducible nature of said error.

Extra Modules:
- There was a screw up in the 3.5.1 release that caused the Interrupt and Merchant module (after following instructions) to still not work. This has been fixed.
- Along the lines, the Merchant module has been rewritten to fixes any errors that caused its exclusion in the first place.
- Some options of the Merchant module (such as the Item Quality) may have been reset as a result of this.
- Meh



LUI v3.5.1
---------------------

Addon Support:
- Added fix for Recount having huge font unless modified. You no longer need to modify Recount to have LUI's intended font size.
- You can now choose the font size you want for Recount under the options - General > Addons

Unitframes:
- Fixed an issue with the unitframes when they were disabled.
- The Player XP and Rep Bar should now come in front of the Health/Mana Text when mouse is hovered.
- Fixed an issue with Unitframes Layouts causing havoc under certain situations
- The Swing Timer and Vengeance Bars have been updated.

InfoText:
- Fixed an issue related to fonts that appeared under certain situations.
- Updated to 4.2's Combat Log Event to fix lag during combat.
- Fixed an issue with the Friends infotext not displaying in 4.2.

MicroMenu:
- There is a new button on the micromenu for the Encounter Journal, you can find it marked with a skull, next to the dungeon finder button.
- Fixed an issue with the talent point reminder where it wasn't the intended color if you selected to use a white colored micromenu.

Options:
- Sorted the options menu so everything should be easier to find, including clicking on the white Module section to easily enable/disable certain modules within LUI

Extra Modules:
- Remove the Merchant extra module from the basic package because it is not handled by anyone on the dev team, and it is causing quite a few errors to many people.
- For LUI to load extra modules, you need to move the Extras.Xml file out of the modules folder (next to the LUI.xml), this was done to prevent your Extras.xml file from being overwritten if you were to update LUI.
- For those who had a working Merchant module and want to continue using them, just move the Extras.xml file out of the modules folder.

LUI v3.5
---------------------
Unitframes

The LUI Unitframe is now embed with the LUI addon, no more troubles with oUF not being loaded on first install, bugging the whole process. (Somehow, i think someone will still manage it)
The Unitframes have been improved alot in terms of performance, and lots of bugs were fixed.
Options have been added to Import and Export new unitframes setups, as well as being able to switch between various setups without much hassle! Import a layout, or exporting one, may or may not cause severe lag.
Added an Alternative Power Bar, used by Blizzard for many raiding encounters.
Arena Frames were added, which include frames for your opponents, their pets and their targets.
Added Heal Predictions.
BossTarget Frames added, but disabled by default.
New Raid Frames have been added, in case you do not wish to use Grid or similar addons. Take note those are somewhat experimental for now.
Unitframes now uses the same raid icons textures as the nameplates, because those are 20% cooler.


DataText

DataText has been improved alot. Efficiency and performance went up to eleven.
Now have two more info text bars. Along with having things in the Top Left and Top Right, you can now have datatexts in the Bottom left and Bottom Right.
Removed most of the UI Reloads required when enabling / disabling things.
Most option changes are now instantaneous.
New entries: Currency, DualSpec and Instance Info datatexts.
Added option to choose if you want infotext to work during combat or not.
Added option to display Home or World Latency in the bar, or both.
Added option to display your combined gold on the server, or just the current toon's gold.
Left-Clicking on the Gold will now switch between server gold and toon gold. Instead of opening the bags.
Fixed the infamous INVITE PENDING issue with the calendar...again. Blame Blizzard for having buggy API, not us.


Bags

Fixed some other bugs that prevented the bags or bank from correctly updating.
Added the Sort Button fix.


Misc.

Blizzard Errors not disabled by default anymore. This should reduce confusion by alot.
Updated the ColorPicker to Ace3, no more Ace2 libraries!
Updated and Improved the AutoAccept Invites function.
Added the Merchant and Hix_Interrupter into the main UI. Mostly because of the cooked version in fact. Their original authors will still have to update them.

Just did some searching for a seperate mod that could do this, and I ran across this post in the WoW Forums:

I don't know of an addon specifically, but this macro should work, though it is not automatic:

/run ChatFrame1:Hide()

Then make another macro to show it again:

/run ChatFrame1:Show()

This has the added benefit of allowing you to hide it whenever the hell you want. :-P

so it seems that there is a simple macro to hide / show the chat window... How would I incorporate this to the "Chat" button on the top of the UI? I don't know where that button is, or under what mod, but I would assume it wouldn't be terribly complicated to just tack on a little macro to execute whenever you press it

Is this the intended functionality? I would assume that the care you took in making such a wonderfully minimalistic UI would carry over to making the chat box hideable as well.

If this is not the intended function of your compilation, could you let me know how to fix it, or where I could go to find out how to fix it?

Edit: I see in your first picture your chat window is hidden, so it definetly is something that should be working for me.

How do I make it so the chat window goes away with the background when I click the "Chat" button on the top?
Afaik, your chat window can never be hidden, but if there isn't any chat for a while the chat window will become transparent and it would seem that it isn't even there but it is.

You can see this in the screenshot by looking at page icon in the top left corner of where the chat window is.

still getting errors an minimap is not fixed. wiped the whole wtf folder again.

my left side bar is horizontal an the bar itself shoots out a bit.

also the bars sometimes look open,but they aren't. so you have to double click the arrows to fix this.

i'm very tired... LUI v3.0 looks good but takes all my energy.
i'll anser all the questions tomorrow.. but please check some of your problems on your own...

examples:
if you want to display the title bar of recount... please just open your recount option window and enable it / recoloring it... why asking here for support?...

there are some really simple and annoying questions out there and it makes me even more tired by reading them... so please... before you ask something, think about it for 2minutes... that would reduce the number of questions about 40%, 40% of more time to work on v3.0.

by solving your more or less big problems on your own you do understand all the addons a little bit better everytime you have a little prob... so its the best for all of us.

that should not mean, that i'm toooo busy or bored to answer some simple questions.. its just the amount of questions that are scaring the **** out of me.

my english is not as good as my german, so i hope you get the message :-)
good night.

right click your General Chat Tab.
Unlock the ChatFrame
Put the ChatFrame to the center of your screen.
Resize the ChatFrame so he fit with the Background Panel.
Put the chatFrame back to the bottomleft corner.
Lock the ChatFrame.

you should see your party members within your Grid Frame.
type /pitbull and check if groups are disabled.

you can configure grid (with or without pets) like you want to.

there are some kgpanels anchored on pitbull frames.
and there are some lines of code within the LUI addon (core.lua) which are working with Pitbull.

if you want to switch the UnitFrame Addon you will also have to adjust this things to your new addon.

LUI v3.0 will have 3 different types of oUF Layouts with an easy way to make your own Layout if you want.

Re: Why 11 slots on bars 1 and 5 instead of 12?

Originally posted by qzmicro

-Qz
there was not enough space to do it with 12 buttons in several resolutions... and the only reason i added bars to the ui is because many of you wanted them..

the uiScale of LUI v3.0 will be different so there will be more space for bars and other things... especially 12 buttons.

you can increase the number of buttons within bartender
then you have to increase the Width / adjust the X Value to the kgpanels "bars" and "bars" to fit the new bartender width.

Nameplates: Delete the Addon called CaelNamePlates
Spelltimer above the PlayerFrame: Its FortExorcist and it has no support for RU clients. You will have to find another spelltimer addon like classTimer or something like that.

Achja und wie heisst nochmal das Addon für die leiste ganz oben mit Friends, Gilde etc?

Danke schonmal für die Antwort.

Mfg.

PS: Dein UI ist einfach das Geilste was es gibt. Allein schon weil es meine Auflösung unterstütz. Freu mich schon auf 3.0
ob man nun ne haltungsleiste einblendet oder nicht ist geschmackssache.. du kannst die einzelnen stances auch einfach vom spellbook in ne normale bartender bar ziehn oder du positionierst / stylest dir deine eigenen zu sammen.

falls die stancebar nicht sofort am bildschirm erscheint nachdem du sie positioniert hast dann geh auf den "positining" tab und klick auf vertikale / horizontal zentrieren... dann solltest sieh sehen.

du kannst noch den buttonfacade skin anpassen, skalierung usw anpassen.
