KaitUI

Version: 2.1.1

by: Kaitain1977 [More]

The only resolution that is supported is 1920x1080. Most other resolutions should still work, but I can't guarantee it. You may have to adjust the layout a bit yourself.

As WeakAuras is part of the UI upload, back up / export your own WAs before installing.

KaitUI is beer-powered. If it runs out of beer, it stops working.

Cheers!

Step 1

Backup your current UI. Do this by opening your WoW folder and moving the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder to a safe place elsewhere on your hard drive. If things go wrong later, put these folders back into your WoW folder and all will be as it was.

Step 2

Unzip the download and move the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder into your WoW folder

Step 3

Inside the WTF folder you will find folders that are name WTF > Account > ACCOUNTNAME > SavedVariables. Rename the folder called ACCOUNTNAME to be whatever your account name is. If you are unsure what to name it, check the folders that you backed up in Step 1.

Step 3.5

Go to https://www.tukui.org/download.php?ui=elvui and download ElvUI. Once you've unzipped the download, put the two folders into your Interface>Addons folder.

Step 4

Start WoW. On the character selection screen, click the Addons button in the bottom left, then in the top right of the panel that pops up

Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.

Make sure ALL addons in the list are enabled

Step 5

Once you are in the game, ElvUI will be propting you with instalation stuff.

Click SKIP PROCESS

Step 6

Once Elv has reloadui your UI, you might need to use the Raid Frame Menu (second from right of the footer buttons) to change raid frames to one of the presets

Also -
I just found a small issue with the buffs - If when targeting yourself the buff and debuffs top left and top right aren't symmetrical, go to ElvUI (/elvui) > Buffs & Debuffs, and disable. It will ask you to reloadui.

When using KaitUI, you can safely update these addons:

ElvUI
Raven
WeakAuras2
Plexus
DynamicCam
MoveAnything

+ any others that you add yourself

But do NOT try to update these:

kgPanels
Plexus Layouts
SharedMedia
KaitMedia

NOTES

- Open WeakAuras with /wa for now (not the menu).
Opening WeakAuras config with the menu first causes it to appear with items missing from the aura list. Collapse/uncollapse something in the list and it will immediately fix it. After the config has been opening once it should be fine all subsequent times.

- there are some hidden bars (including bar1) to the right of the main action bar. These are bars for keybinds. The main visible bar is for showing cooldowns. The assumption is that you know what your keybinds are.

- the pet bar and class power bars kind of ruin the elegance of the player frame area. I personally will be using weakauras to show them in a more contextual way, but I thought I'd leave the Elv versions visible as default in case anyone got confused.

- The 3D model of you character on the Spec/Talents screen is positioned as if your character is a female night elf. For some other races, specifically small races, your player model might be way off. I'll make a tutorial on how to fix that soon, but basically you have to exlude your race from loading on the main KaitUI Talents > Player aura, duplicate it and make the new aura only load for your race, then adjust the XYZ display values. Don't use the slider's though, edit the texts, because you have to do it blind. When in WA config, it's not showing you the model right.

Suggested additional addons:

Opie is a wonderfully elegant solution for using things like potions, crafting, etc. I notice a lot of games bind icon wheel interfaces to the C key (like Overwatch), so if you do that with OPie it feels very natural.

Clique Do more with your mouse when healing. Not really necessary if you never heal.

2.1.1 Removed ElvUI files (needs to be downloaded from ElvUI site, because ElvUI).

2.1 Updated for Shadowlands

1.2 - Added a new action Bar below the main bar (this was often requested). Changed the layout so that quest tracking is not back on the right, DPSer raid frames on the left. This was so I could remove the code making the minimap hiding and raid frames interact. My code was buggy and crap, and now it's gone. Hurray! UIscaler addon removed because it seemed to not be working anymore.

1.1 - Updated for patch 6.1. Some addons updated, some TOCs updated, some WeakAuras changes and updates

1.0.2 - Changed scripts in KaitMedia addon and in kgPanels that relate to Grid so that (hopefully) nothing freaks out too badly if you don't have Grid installed (i.e. if you want to use a different raid addon). The popup panels for changing Grid profiles won't do anything for you without Grid, but at least they aren't going to cause errors. Uou need Grid enabled to run /kaitinstall. Install the profiles then switch your raid addon afterwards.

1.0.1 - Updated KaitMedia script to fix a non-English client bug. Updated some kgPanels scripts to fix a non-English client bug. Added Clampy's focus bar WeakAura for hunters. Stopped Party Frames (P) button from causing error when not in a group.

1.0 - Updated some kgPanels scripts. Added some new WeakAuras bars for moonkin and demon warlock. Added some graphics to the KaitMedia folders. Changed the KaitInstaller script. Removed Opie, Bindpad and Dominos, and added Bartender4.

0.7.1 - Updated some kgPanels scripts to cause less lua errors

My dialogue options and quest options texts shows up as blank.

When it is a quest, I can see the question mark or exclamation mark, but I can't see the text beside it. When I hover over it, it 'highlights' but still no text.

It never really bothered me before because I played so much that I remember what each dialogue is, but after coming back after a hiatus, I don't know what the quests names are or what dialogue option I'm choosing in Tanaan are.

Someone had this before once and I suggested updating Aurora addon, and I don't think they posted again after that so maybe that fixed it. If that doesn't work, try just disabling Aurora and see if that fixes the text (the UI will look ugly as hell without it, but at least you'll know what causes it).

Well then... That did the trick. Relying on 'addon updating' software did me no good as it didn't catch Aurora and isn't listed/hosted on there.

Have a beer on me! (Soon)

XPBarNone addon is kinda buggy/weird. As such (at max level) it only tracks the last rep that you gained rep in. Which is what you want it to do 90% of the time. To see a specific rep that you're not currently levelling up, just look in the rep panel.

If possible, it would be awesome if you'd let me know how, as well

Version 1.2 has 2 action bars (see the screen shot on the home page here). You can add more if you want just go into bartender and add more.

My guess is that it's some outdated addon. (It's a fresh install that works fine if I remove the UI)

Yes I think it is but I could never find out which one. I think it works to change windowed mode from the login screen (the enter password screen i mean).

Thank's.

Hard to say but as a guess is it maybe not ALL the addons are enabled and/or out-of-date addons checked?

Hey Metarra,

I'm not 100% sure because I can't currently get in game to check, but I think it's a kgPanels script doing it. So if you go to /kgpanels config, then in the Active Panels list there is a panel called "InterfaceOptionsFrame BG". Expand that and then expand the Scripts section. It should have 2 identical scripts in OnShow and in OnHide that are something like:

Code:

CompactRaidFrameManager:UnregisterAllEvents() CompactRaidFrameManager:Hide() CompactRaidFrameContainer:UnregisterAllEvents() CompactRaidFrameContainer:Hide()

Try getting rid of both those scripts, reloadui, and let me know if that works.

Re: Cast bar latency

I used WeakAuras to make the main cast bar (no cast bar addons I could find had quite the right setup), so your options for a latency prediction are:
- find someone who has a made a weakaura cast bar with latency and try to adapt it
- replace my cast bar with a cast bar addon. To make it fit visually you'll need to use a flat texture, roboto font, and 1 or 0 pixel borders

On a side note, the reason I didn't feel latency prediction on the cast bar was important enough to include is that if your latency fluctuates (which is extremely likely), then the indicator on the cast bar is misleading because it's always giving you a false reading (i.e. a snapshot of your latency a the start of the cast, not at the end where you need to know it and it pretends to indicate that the latency window is). Having said that it is possible you have rock solid latency.

Divinix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 1	Yo kait, love the UI, been using it since it came out. Did something happen to the weakaura that shows your character model when talents are opened? Mine somehow just straight up disappeared and its not there when I try to redownload the UI either. Any way you could post the weakaura string or something? o_O Edit: Just kidding, it's apparently there but just not displaying anything at all. Same goes for a few of the micromenu rollover weakauras. Further inspection is required. Edit: JK fixed. Z axis somehow was way out of whack. Might be due to switching to 5760x1080 recently.

Joking aside... I spend a lot of time making UIs for WoW. If I can get even a tiny amount of money for it then it would help make doing it easier to justify. I realise that nobody really wants to pay for something that's available free elsewhere, and that's fine. It's just a thought.
