ButgerStijl UI (Guild Wars 2)

Version: v4.01

by: Butger [More]

FYI: I've recently 'kinda' re-made this with up-to-date mods.

About the Interface:

This interface is somewhat inspired by the 'Guild Wars 2' UI and is designed with any class/spec in mind. It aims to be fairly conventional but still offer all tools needed for high end play, such as buff/debuff trackers, cooldown counters, threat driven nameplates, improved tooltips, better resource tracking and decent raid frames. The thing is built with existing AddOns only, however some minor tweaks are applied in the code to make the addons match the visual style or behave more convenient.

Tips and Issues:

How to bind keys on the actionbars:

Type /dominos and click bind keys. Hover over any button and hit the key you want to bind.
Pro tip: Type / and copy this command: run for i = 1,120 do PickupAction(i) ClearCursor() end. It will clean all actionbars. Nice when you're setting up from scratch.

If you use 'Weakauras 2' already, but also want to use this UI:

Weakauras 2 is the backbone of this interface, if you want to use this UI there is no simple way to use your own weakauras settings. It's probably best to use a different addon for your custom auras.

Health orb does not fit correctly for some resolutions:

Type /rbbs, go to general > unlock all and use the left mouse button to move the orb around, right mouse to scale it correctly. After that, type /rbbs and go to general > lock all

Updating addons yourself:

If you are going to update addons yourself, which is totally possible, Grid will look a lot different and you'll need to manually load the profile ButgerStijl for /raven, /dominos and /tidyplates. Castbars will also get messed up, manually load the ButgerStijl profile, disable spell icons and remove the castButton and castGloss layers from /kgpanels. Do not ever update SharedMedia, or if you do, copy and replace all media from the old folder and copy all media paths in the lua.

Addons and Info:

Raid Frame be Gone - Hides the blizzard raidframe. Type /rfbg hide or /rfbg show.

Or did i oversee something?

PS: Really no body press numbers >5 - but if you had a spell on the action bar 1 for example and press the key, it works, but you dont see them anymore.

For cosmetic reasons I have set-up the actionbars in a 2-5-5 button arrangement. Also, for me it makes it easier to spot cooldowns for my abilites. (in a row of 12 buttons it's harder to spot 1) So there's the 'reason'.
Ofcourse, you are right about the 'issues' caused by this setup.

Anyway, if you can't live with this, open the /dominos config and change the bars '1' and '2' to 12 buttons, disable the others, move things around so it fits, and you're set. It still won't be, and can never be, the same as the standard WoW UI because thát has 3*12 buttons.

Using /kgpanels config you can move around the artwork, however if you don't know how the addon works it won't be easy.

Anyway, my UI just doesn't allow for a lot (if any) of customisation if you're not into addons.

Rammoth A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 73 File comments: 628 Uploads: 1	Thank God I've been waiting for something like this for quite a while. I had a forum post a while back about it, and someone agreed to make a Guild Wars 2 like UI, but she never got around to it. Then you came out with this, my search is over. I can't code anything, but I can design... that's why I never made it myself. Thank you. You have just caused me to re-sub my WoW account.

Know what's causing this? Don't want to disable my Earth Shield since it looks so nice :P

I can't figure out what the problem is, the WeakAuras are correctly setup. For example the priest Mending tracker works fine, and it's the same thing as the Earth Shield tracker. GRID Also seems to have a hard time tracking Earth Shield.
Perhaps some Addons are interfering, or it's a client bug.

I'll look into it, but meanwhile i guess you'll have to disable it.

Edit: The Grid not showing ES was just a settings issue.

Otherwise, it's a really awesome UI. Albeit I'm customizing it a little to tailor my needs it's one of the best ones I've had

Butger A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 43 Uploads: 3	Thanks for all the feedback people. ^.^ @Chilayse I'm very happy with the UI so it probably won't really change in any major way, ofcourse it will be updated every now and then. Most notably I'm now working on having all secondary recources/buffs for all specs tracked and editing BagNon for a fitting style for the bag window. @Luxxie I had figured pretty much the same thing. It seems that it's an issue in WeakAuras itself, I've created a ticket for the problem so hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. I'd hate to remove the ES tracker too.

Yes, select the 'Bar Group' and tick 'Time' under the 'Layout' tab.

Lucavi00 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Hi. I was wondering how you add timer text to the buffs in the upper right corner of the screen. I went down the list of addons and didn't see one that specifically controls the main buffs, only raven, which controls the buffs/debuffs to the left/right of the mid.

My addon description might suggest otherwise, but all buff/debuff icons/bars are controlled by Raven. Look for the 'Bar Group': 'Player Buffs'.

EDIT: Scrap the last question, figured it out... my bad... still a great UI EDIT2: Are you going to update the UI with any of the newer GW2 art work? Last edited by tankknat : 04-28-12 at 07:12 PM.

Not sure what you mean here, but if anything I've noticed the minimap, healthorb and to some extent the actionbar became a lot less grungy in GW2. Ofcourse GW2 also has a lot of great art in the character panes, map, quest trackers, textballoons, etc. But these things are near impossible to alter in WoW without writing my own addons. (something I can't do at all, lol)

That being said, I don't plan to alter the look of things, to be honest in the end this UI doesn't resemble the GW2 UI thát much, the games are just too different and I'm limited by the use of existing Addons. So really my UI is somewhat of a compromise, it has the GW2 "feeling", but still has all the functionality you'd want in a custom WoW UI.

Thanks for the feedback.
