How do I use this addon?
I know I have to have a layout along with the core addon, but what do I do after that? I must be an idiot because I can't seem to bring up any menu of any kind with slash commands like /ouf and it's not in Blizzard's addon manager.

Thats how oUF works. Most of the layouts have no configuration. They are pre-designed templates.
If you want to do your own configurations for unit frames i suggest Stuf or pitbull. oUF does a fantastic job bit requires editing Lua files. If that doesnt phase you id save dive right in and give it a go. |
As MidgetMage stated most oUF layouts (and oUF itself) do not have /commands. All configuration and tweaking is done via lua.
That said, there are now two layouts that have in-game configs:I would suspect others will be coming with in-game config menus as authors take advantage of the various pre-built config libs such as Portfolio, Ace3 (AceConfig), and others. oUF itself will not come with a in-game config menu as it's the framework on which layouts are built, in-game menus will be supplied with the layouts. |
Is the layout supposed to automatically replace the default Bliz UF then? Because, it's not. :l
|
What layout doesn't replace what frame?
Do you get any errors? Do you have showing of Lua errors enabled in the interface options Which version of oUF are you trying? Give us something to work on, and don't just say "it" doesn't work :). |
To expand on what Haste said.
First of all download and install BugSack. BugSack and !Buggrabber need to be installed into their own folders in your AddOns folder. Then log into WoW. Did you get a bug message (you will see a red sack icon in your MiniMap/FuBar/LDB Display and hear a "Fatality" sound bite)? If you do, then click the red sack icon. The BugSack window will pop up. Copy the contents of that windows (Ctrl A to select all, Ctrl C to copy). Then paste the contents into a reply to this thread. This much more helpful than simply saying "Its broke". Posting what layout you are trying to use in addition to the version of oUF (plus any oUF plug-ins) will also help. |
Ah, well I didn't mean to just say "it's not working". I wasn't sure if there was something I was supposed to do in order to make the unit frames pop up or anything like that. The unitframes remained the default Blizzard ones and I didn't know if I missed a step installing them.
I'll download those addons and see if I get any errors. I was trying to use Lily. No plugins. I heard somewhere that there is an ag_unitframes-style layout for oUF. Is this true? |

Question on your layout: Did you try to intall the layout in the oUF folder or directly into the AddOns folder (like a standard AddOn)? If you did the latter then we have a bug issue as that method is how you install oUF layouts. If you tried the former, you need move the layout to the root AddOns folder so it is installed like an AddOn. Interface\AddOns\oUF Interface\AddOns\oUF_Lily |
Strange, it's working now. It must have been a conflicting addon, because I always extract all my addons to the Addons folder unless the author says to do different. I installed BugSack anyway, for future reference.
Is there a way to move oUF frames, or are they stuck where they are? I like my unit frames to be in the top left corner like the default Blizzard ones. I don't know lua so editing any files is out of the question.. |

OK, now that you have selected your text editor, open up the oUF_Lily folder. Locate lily.lua. You can right click on then select "Open with..." or double click and then in the following menus, select your text editor to open the file with. Alternately, open your text editor first, then use its Open command. Your copy of lily.lua is now open in your text editor. Scroll to the bottom of the file. You will see the following: Code:
local focus = oUF:Spawn"focus"
OK Now set "player" and "target" to ("CENTER", 0, 0). Save the file and Alt-tab back to WoW. Now use /console reloadui (or if you have an Ace3/Rock based mod installed, /rl. Some other mods will add the /rl command). Your UI will reload. Now your Player and Target frames will be in the center of your screen, one layered on top of the other. Select yourself or a "victim" (other player/NPC/mob) to confirm placement of the target frame. Alt-tab back to your text editor. Now set "player" and "target" to ("TOPLEFT", 0, 0). Save the file. Alt-tab back to WoW. Reload your UI as before. Now both your Player and Target frame will be in the upper left corner of your screen. Parts of them may be off screen. Alt-tab back to your Text editor Now this where you place the frames to where you want them. Experiment with X, Y, coordinates. Note that if you are in a Party, your Party frames will likely be covered by your Player/Target frames until you move the Party frames. Your Pet, Target of Target and Focus frames will also have to be moved separately (but using the same method). Many other oUF layouts will anchor the pet frame to the player frame (so moving the player frame moves the pet frame) and the target of target frame to the target frame. Things to note with lua editing:

Oh, nice. That's not difficult at all. Thank you, once again.
I'm guessing oUF uses a lot less resources than ag_UF or Xperl, right? I'd hope so, since my computer is pretty old. |
