Freshui - Mazzle wannabe
 

hi, a few of you have now started to download my recreation of mazzle and are having some success, im updating as i find issues and fixing the bits i have so far been unable to include from the original project

yet to be fixed are the frames changing colour on aggro and the hotspots for trading and such, if anyone can help i would be grateful

main panels are created using eepanels and unsure how to make these flash as scripting part is broken

maybe we can get our heads together and release something that doesnt break when updated



in party

hey mikey, could you please confirm a few things.

Will this work on any screen ratio? is their install instructions provided? should this be avoided by people that want a "mazzify" easy ui setup? I think if you include those details in your 1st post and you will almost cover all the bases!

from what i have seen in testing, it doesnt matter what screen res you are in the ui scales as long as the option is selected in video options, with regard to the simple mazzify the short of it is no, there isnt a mazzify option as this was only intended as a fix until mazz himself updated.

this as far as i can see isnt going to happen :(

now i have included a set of instructions and an updated one in the forum which ill move to here

but i would say that its not hard to set up, just a case of following a few instructions, once i get things completed ill upload the new version, im in the process of testing addons to see which give better memory usage but as the servers are laggy at the moment its kind of hard to get a realistic benchmark

it would be useful to have some feedback from people that download the pack as i can then get things i miss sorted or add things that i forgot lol there was so much in mazzle its unbelievable

i have added modules to prat3 to make the hm windows work again and give the end user the ability to have a window for battle and a seperate loot window and the ability to filter out certain messages

also added skinning modules so the buttons can be skinned seperately from eachother

theres lots going in and some coming out, i have also sorted the sraid frames to change from 10 man and 25 man raid setups but having pulled apart my old mazzle file so ill be looking to get a copy from someone that hasnt ripped it apart like i have lol

so ill be trying to add the missing pieces over the next few days to make the hotspots and flashing bars on aggro, its a shame that eepanels2 has broken scripts so may need to switch to kgpanels instead

any help or advice/criticisms anyone can give will be helpful to get this sorted

instructions for freshui
 

instructions for freshui

ok looks like a couple of people have had some minor issues, what you need to do is

1, rename your existing interface and wtf folders to interface1 and wtf1 then place the new interface and wft folders contained int he freshui zip file into the world of warcraft folder

2, before this pack will work you need to change some details in the wtf folder.

when you open the new wtf fold you will find a folder named account, inside that one you will find one called yourAccountName change that needs to be changed to your logon name. when done open that file and inside you will find a folder call yourservername. as you may have guessed this one needs to be named as your server for example if your server is Alonsus then this is what you must put, dont forget to use a capital letter or this may not work.

once this is renamed then you need to open that file and inside you will find a file called yourcharname, rename this folder to your chars name not forgetting the capital letter

now your ready to start up the game and log in

once in

now your ingame type /zmob config into chat and a menu will appear

in here click on the profile tab and highlight mikey of khadgar and click copy at the bottom

then click on your char name and press paste
if the bars moved then close the window

for the action bars you need to place these yourself, this can be done by typing /bartender, in the window that appears click lock in the top left of the config menu and the bars should turn green allowing them to be moved

all other elements can be moved by holding alt and left click dragging them

Assuming you are using KGPanels, the solution Malathar and I have used is to have 2 sets of panels, the 2nd set the color you want for agro and then the following code put into each of those "agro" panels.

OnLoad section:

OnEvent section:

I added arg1 ~= "raid2" for when you are in a raid... fairly obvious but something overlooked until I was actually in one.

Ok i'm trying your freshUI and the problem i'm having right now is my screen resolution that i use is 1024x768. everything is shifted to the right and i dont know why? can you help me out

hi im having the same problem UI seems too big for my screen resalution but i hav all set to max 1680x1050(wide)
screen shot might help. thanks in advance:)

It looks like your ui scale is set too high. You can access it in video options and via a slider you can scale it to fit (probably).

This fix will only work if you are in raid group 2.

Use this instead.

yep its the scale, hit esc and goto video settings and pull the scale bar over you should see the ui start to fit, when its in the right place you can then get on with the how to in this thread :)

I hope you can help me with my newest problem.

I had your UI working PERFECTLY, and I was in the process (3 hours worth) of tweaking the setting for 2 characters. I had char 1 (hunter) done and went to set up char 2 (mage). Everything was fine, but on my mage the loot and combat text boxes (lower right hand side) dissappeared. I then went back to my hunter to see if I could figure out what AddOn/Profile I could load to reset it on my mage, and it had dissapeared on my hunter as well...

What AddOn controls the text boxes and how can I reset just those boxes without having to go through hours of setup again =(

Also, only on my mage, near the top left of the minimap. there is a "button" that says "loot roll" how do I get rid of it?

Thanks!!!

-Star

HitsMode is the addon controlling those boxes. Not sure exactly what you'll have to do to get them to show back up though. I use to have that same problem with MazzleUI and I would remazzify and the box would show back up. Try reloading UI or kill something.

yep thats hitsmode, normally a /reloadui works but if not then its likely the windows set to their defaul position in the chat log. if you hover over chat you will see that additional windows are there title hm window or something to that effect just hold the tab and pull it out, im trying to fix this with niagara just updating that now

tbh im am uploading a new version to the downloads section now under compilations/suites suites section

The latest version of DUF I've found leaks memory like no tomorrow, fills !BugGrabber with errors until it breaks, and causes the game to take upwards of 3 times as long to load, even over X-Perl, another similar frame mod. Not to mention it breaks when you try to focus anything, due to the new blizzard focus frame.

There are now 3 different versions of FreshUI, each for different resolutions.

FreshUI ( Widescreen version )
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...sion.html#info

FreshUI Normal ( for non widescreen 1024x768 - 1152x864 ect )
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...idescreen.html

FeshUI ( 1280x1024 Resolution )
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...1280x1024.html

If u join a raid and the party 3D models don't go away
Type /zmob config and click the options button and check hide group in raid

If u join a raid and the word " cooldowns " is planted in the center of your screen you can right click the ORA2 minimap button, go to cooldowns and click on toggle to get rid of it.

Oh and Mikey on the 1280x1024 version every time I log in I get this error

[2008/11/10 12:29:33-79-x4]: Interface\FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:452: Usage: UnitCanAttack("unit", "otherUnit"):

So i'm gessing the guys revamping DUF still have some work to do

duf
 

Is there a way to enlarge the 3d models of DUF?
How do I fix the raid groups so that the characters names are more visible. The look of them now is near impossible to make out.
Is it just me or does FuBar suck at remembering customizations. Every time I log in it shows text for all the fubar plugins even when it appears to still be unchecked. I have to check and then uncheck to resolve every login. As well, cartographer 3's map is too small in my opinion.

I've been looking for a nice way to show when special buffs are active. I installed SCT but now the HUD is overwhelmed by too much. I'd like to know how much I'm hitting others for, how much their hitting me for, and special buffs. Is there an alternative built into FreshUI?

Just some feedback

Also,


Is this the appropriate forum to post for FreshUI or is there its own?

hiya and yep this is good for freshui

im going to look into the hud and see about the overwhelming amount of data, you could just turn all the data reporting off on the hud settings and just go with the combat text in the interface options, you can have it scroll or arch over, will also include healing and incoming and outgoing damage, its how i have mine set

Fubar shouldn't be messing up like that.
I've been using Fubar since it's creation and i have never had any issues.
I'd dissable all the fubar mods that u don't use as well as make sure Fubar 3.5 and FubarPlugin-2.0 are up to date.

what is the addon that shows info like current time, durability, ping etc? mine is stuck atm and i dont know what addon it is so i can mess with it

Re install fubar
 

Hi mate,
the problem with the fubar is a strange one, but not as uncommon as poeple think, i did have this issue a while back, i resoveled the issue by uninstalling the fubar addon and delete all the relevant .lua and .bak files from the saved variables folders.

I then reinstalled fubar and my plugins and have not had another problem, it might be a faulty file doing it. as my other half had the same copy as me, cos i installed to both pc's mine broke, and her is still running off the same files.

Zmob does the 3d images of the chars these can be enlarged just used Zmob config to open the waterfall options and use the setting in there.

/duf can be used to bring up the Unit frames, there are some options in there to enable you to enlarge the text so you can see it more clearly.

you can see with my image below we all hav our own way of the way we want our ui to look and feel.



Pacman you need to go into /statuswindow and pick one of the profiles, this will move the txt over to the right places.

Hope that helps

AFerrari.

statuswindow

/statuswindow will bring up the menu for it

sorry didn't realize i was beat to the answer

AFerrari That's a very sexy Hunter set-up bro

whats the mod your using for raid dps/dtps?

Damn AFerrari you ui looks pimp how did you get the bottom panel and the target panel to end up like that? thats pretty much what im looking for but cant figure out how to do it. im pretty much after the exact same bottom half of your ui if you could offer some info on how you did it i would appreciate it. thanks

Also is there any way to stop zmob from putting a ? as the 3d model when party members are out of range? i couldnt figure out how to do it after playing with the settings for ages i gave up.

thanks for the info Mazz

Question
 

Can you addin questhelper and Ark Inventory and nix Sanity?

you can easily put those in yourself eacable, I've done the same with quite a few addons that aren't part of freshui

They were in there originally but the Mikey2k pulled them out.
Most likely there was just to many mods to keep updating specially since so many mods will be changing drastically over the next month or so.

I am just wondering if the skins that have been made for MazzleUI will work with this and how you apply them if they do?

I am also having the problem with the clock and FPS text being suck on my screen off the bar. Anyone know how I get it to move onto the bar?

Thanks

I could use a little help with my bank window not opening? I everything set up correctly per the instructions. Not sure which mod could be blocking the bank window from showing or opening. Also the 2 small combat chat windows didn't take there filters after doing hidesmode. I have the 2 windows but there set for the same filters as the main chat window. All and all I love this UI

I also had that problem. I think it may have been the bag mod but am not sure. I did get it working but not sure if it was before or after I swapped the Sanity mod for ArkInvintory.

I am having a problem with the extra windows not showing up. I have done the /hitsmode step and they are not showing up on any of my toons. They have not showen up right from the start even straight after I did that step.

hey guys, yup problem with bank window comes from sanity, this needs to be disabled until there is an updatte made, unfortunatly there are some addons that i had to remove and in the next update i will have to replace a few more like deadly boss mods as its been changed to dbm core

lots will change over the next few weeks and i am holding off until addons become stable im sure mazzle found the same issues after patches and when tbc come out, so i am now starting to simpathise and undersdtand how hard it is to keep an addon pack and core up to date

ok cool i'll swap out sanity with arkinventory. I realy didn't care for that to much anyway. Thanks guys

Mike, How to get the panel turn red when you get aggro?

to do this i would probably need to make a second set of panels to show when aggro is happening, these would only show in combat but would take up more memory and with the lag from duf at the sec you would experience more lag so i didnt add this to the build

ok basically have a few problems

1 main problem is the actual frame that all the buttons etc sit ontop of seems alittle small in height i mean look at it, it needs to go upwards more so buttons/spells will fit better when i resize them also the animated character of me in the bottom left is small?

2 the runes for death knight are in the top left corner, maybe a better place to put them? if so how or what addon to do so with?

3 the little notepad icons inside my chat/combat screens is alittle annoying how do i turn them off

4 not included in the screen shot, but when i press b to open my bags i get some backsack thing pop up, its terrible and sanity is crap unless i need to check my bank..is there anyway to fix the bags?

reason backpack or whatever its called when you press B is crap is basically it shows whats in your bags only, it doesnt show empty slots so if say i wanna shift click on some food and split it into 5/5 from 10 i have no empty slot to place the split food in? sorry if that doesnt make sense

****fixed the bag issue, i downloaded Baggins addon and set it as default which is the same as mazzleUI used so forget the bag problem :P****

if you can answer all of the above you truely are my new god, and mazzle can suck it big time because this UI really blows mazzle out of the water

good work and keep it up mate its amazing so far and so less buggy to mazzle

I'm not mikey but I'll answer most of the questions on this one:

1. Resizing that frame is something that you are going to have to do in kgPanels. IF you think you need more room, its up you to get your hands dirty and learn your way around kgPanels. As for your character portrait size, that should be easily adjustable in the DuF config.

2. Sorry no answer for this one.

3. Check your Prat options.

4. Way to figure it out. ;)

Mikey,

This UI looks great, I am trying it tonight. Let me know via PM if you need any help. Im not much of a coder but I can help with testing and writing documentation.

What is controlling the mouse over that shows your equipped item for that slot?

When ever I mouse over a quest reward or something in the AH, or shift click an item it shows what I have equipped but it doesn't release it. I have to do /reload to clear it up.

Im still loveing the FreshUI outside of that one minor problem and getting DUF figured out to show the tool tips on Debuffs but I can live with the tool tip problem.

Replace the DK Runes with something like Deathknight.info Runes or LynRune

DKI Runes can be moved, background hidden and can display your Rune CDs in various ways.

LynRunes scales up your Runes and moves them to the center of your screen. If you want to move them to another location, you will need to edit the lua file however that is not difficult.

There are other Rune mods that move the runes or add functionality to your Rune display.

As a fellow DK I found that Magic Runes is a very sweet and extremely customizable mod for monitoring runes and runic power.
Oh and DoTimer is very sexy when it comes to tracking dots on multiple mobs

ok so i think the time to update this pack is almost upon me again lol, guys i have been taking into account the addons that you all want added, so now really would be the best time to start posting and letting me know what you think come up tops for different classes

we can really make this a public domain thing, lets get this ui to where WE want it until the new version of mazzle is fixed

other news

im going to streamline duf a bit more as i found some new fixes to remove that memory leak, also i added a few things for dk's and my pala. as stated before i dont have a hunter or shammy so any info on whats best will help me to no end

prat and hitsmode seem to have had a couple of updates and working on a script to adjust sraid frames depending on what kind of raid your in. for example 10,25 or battleground hopefully this is going to place frames on group size.

also going to add some new skins, i made a couple for horde players as well as some new ones for alliance and will add these as seperate packs for download,

well thats all the news for now, hope your all enjoying wrath as much as i am.

Mikey,

Im going to offer some suggestions. One is not to get wrapped up in adding a bunch addons to your package. Most people pick and choose anyhow. In my mind, the beauty of this package is your work on the kgPanels and a few select addons. By limiting yourself in this fashion, you make it much easier to keep your package up to date and make it easier for you to support. I have other ideas for you on how I think you can tweak the package to make it better for both you and the end user but I dont want this post to be come too long. Just contact me via PM if interested. Also, please contact me via pm if you are interested in having my help in writing documentation and testing. I cant code but Im pretty good at the writing and testing part of it.

is there anyway to make the widescreen version larger? it is nowhere near as large as mazzle was for widescreen

when i say larger i mean the kgpanel at the bottom of the screen, it may be fine in normal freshui but in widescreen version its just tiny, and yes i set it all up correctly.. i mean the class skills like rogues steath etc bar is on top then 2 more sets of bars under it, the buttons are really really small and to make them any bigger would be forceing the buttons outside of the kgpanel

if its a big job then nevermind, but if its not please post a fix for it thanks

Mikey I have to agree with vulturesrow on this.
There is no need for u to go through all the work to pack FreshUI will all sorts of mods for every class and such.

The general mods that work for everyone definately but I would leave class specific mods out since everyone has there own mods of choice for that.

General Mods:
Floating frames
omen
BigWiGGs
DrahulsHud
a mail mod of some sort
SCT & SCTD
StarTip is kinda scetchy and cowtip hasnt had an update in forever so I dont know
Fubar and its vast array of mods
Rating Buster
Cartographer
Baudbag or ArkInventory
My vote is still for Macaroon but i'm a fan of macro's so i guess bartender is OK lol
Prat
Quartz
DoTimer
QuestHelper
Simple Minimap
Talented
Xloot Goodness
And all that other Spiffy Stuff

Jugga,

Mostly I agree with you. For a tooltip manager, I Recommned tiptac. I have to say that I hate cartographer, my UI uses mapster. Yes on Omen for sure, I Forgot to put that in my last post. DoTimer is an excellent addition. Arkinventory for sure, I love that mod.

I installed your UI and did everything you said, but there are a few issues

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...108_144638.jpg

Edit: I fixed everything on my own.

The gap is likely there because that where Target of Target is displayed. If your target has no target, there's likely a gap. (I don't remember how Mazzleui handled this, but it's likely working as intended atm.)

Yeah I got it all sorted out, One question though, what mod is controlling tooltips? I looked through the mods list and didn't see anything.

Mikey's compilation does not include a tooltip addon, I personally use TipTac and I find it to be more than adequate.

I can't find a mods list or SS of addons folder on any of the FreshUI download pages. Mind linking where that is? (or are you meaning in your 'own' addon folder?)

I'm saying I was looking through my own mods list, sorry for the confusion.

Ok, few more questions.

Which mod is it that controls the cooldown bars (the ones that are like casting bars only they show cooldowns). Is it omnicc? Because I can't figure out how to move them, currently they all stack on each other in the middle of my screen, makes them kind of hard to read.

Hitsmode still isn't working, i've tried loading all the different profiles and still nothing. The HM windows don't even appear in the bottom right corner of my screen like in mazzle.

Thought of one, There is a casting bar in the upper middle of my screen that looks like the default casting bar only smaller, I want to get rid of it but I can't figure out what it is so I can't make it go bye bye. I don't want it there because I use eCastingBar and don't need another one.

And another, Aloft isn't working, I try to click on it and nothing happens.

I think that's all, i'll edit if I find more.

Toolbox,

the casting bar is from Dominos...if you type /dom, the interface window should open, just look for the Dominos entry and edit the bars; you'll see the casting bar as a bluish bar and can configure it as you like...I had problems with hitsmode as well, but they were user problems ;) You'll have to move the windows to the spots you want them by yourself, just remember to set the minimums to 25, as per the directions in the .txt file. And I'm pretty sure the cooldown bars are omni, which can be configured from Niagra if I remember correctly. Hope you're all set from here :)

That fixed the casting bar and hitsmode, thanks.

But I'm still having a problem with Omnicc and Aloft.

I know how to get to Omnicc's options, but I can't move the bars or anything because there is no "test" button like there used to be which made them pop up and very easy to move.

Oh, and does anybody know what mod it was that had the "Sell junk" option in the vendor screen

I thought Omnicc only displayed the cooldown timers on the spells and items you use and cast. If there are bars associated with it, I've been missing out on a decent function it seems.

I use Reagent Restocker to sell my junk (it has a sell list you can add to for white quality items you sell frequently (doesn't matter what quality the item is if you add to list). Also will purchase ammo and add/take from bank anything you add to the buy list (with configuration).

What was your problem with Aloft?

Well I know that in mazzle and in Fresh there are cooldown bars, and both of them had omnicc I'll take a pic and put it up.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...208_225017.jpg - The bar that is right in the middle of the screen are the bars i'm talking about, see how their overlapping? I can't read them when I have more then one cooldown going. It would also be really nice to move them to where I had them back in Mazzle UI. Any idea what mod they are?

I'll give restocker a try, thanks.

My problem with Aloft is that is simply does not work, it's on Fubar and I can play with the options but when I hit V the default blizzard nameplates come up, if I try to click on the Fubar plugin to turn them on nothing happens, and if I use Niagara to attempt to turn them on Niagara will freeze and I have to restart it.

I'm not using this ui, but there's 2 addons I can think of that you should see if you have.

Sorrenstimers (spelling?) or DoTimer. Those being the most popular atm, it's likely one or the other that is displaying the bar in the middle. If Mikey would give an addons list on his addon page it would be easier to help.

Neither of those are in the Addons folder in the WoW directory, so I don't know
