Learning oUF and how to code a UI (moved from UI Feedback thread)
/cry; I hate and love reflux. Deleted my profile yet again. I always save it again before I log, but some times when I switch to a new profile, then switch back, it removes all of my Stuf settings z.z It makes me soooo frustrated...
I guess I'm gonna go back to my Aurora Theme again and see what I can improve /sigh; Sometimes I wish Stuf just had a profile setting in it xD Also, speaking of profiles, anyone know a way to remove all the other profiles from addons without going into each one and deleting it manually? Maybe this is a sign saying START USING OUF. <has my knife already in hand>\ EDIT: Lol and behold, OUF just updated the moment I posted~ Anyone have any idea what layout might be easier to into and use/change and learn? :P |

This one of the reasons i started to do everything in pure LUA. These profiles always reset, at some point, then your just wanna die :p oUF layout is win. i love it. |
Most people using oUF had zero lua knowledge when they started using it. Myself included. Just crap a layout and let the hacking begin! The oUF forums are full of answers already (search ftw) and you can get help for new or special problems quite fast. ;)

Wish me luck, sorry for all of those hoping for a upload of the UI. I might try something with oUF once I get it under my thumb. Anyone have a clue how to edit oUF without all the /reloads though? |

Some tips to make it easier: - make yourself a macro for reload and keybind it - don't load other addons, except for your layout + oUF + the plugins you want to support > makes reloading faster |

You'll start to see the screen in X's & Y's before long. :p |

Especially when said frame is something along the lines of: height*-(hpheight-.95) -- Taken from FreeB Which from a glance (from my PoV) is meant to change the frame incase the independent frame is changed so that dependent frame changes along with it so he didn't have to go change every little thing. But to me, I just groan 'cause I have no idea what I will mess up if I change it to just a straight number. Wish there was a layout that let me change every variable in the LUA relatively easily instead of trying to hack one and figuring what the heck is being multiplied/subtracted/added etc etc xD Say at the top, all the Frames Variables are there so you can change what you want for the new people trying to get into oUF, then all the main script loading (or w/e you call it, hooking?) those variables. I was going to try oUF_Simple, because it's the closest to what I meant, but it's not showing anything when I loaded it. Boo. While I want to use oUF, trying to get into it seems so taxing at the user using it and may take a long time to learn properly, years seeing as how most of you were doing this in TBC (looking at the old Screenshot thread) and such. I am probably just going to take a programming course this semester in college, then try again and hope for the best and use oUF as a learning tool. EDIT: Also, is there ANY way to get rid of the BlizzardUI folders in the ...AddOns\\ folder? Or in someway shorten them? Really really ugly :P |

lua Code:
Your text editor's "find" feature becomes invaluable when searching for variables. Anyway, the community here is amazingly helpful, and the oUF & Lua forums are there for your questions :banana: (and don't think of it as programming...it's just one little tweak after another). You certainly don't need years of Lua experience to hack an oUF layout to your liking! :) |
Just bought a few things on Amazon :p
Beginning Lua with World of Warcraft Add-ons World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons I'm going to try and work with oUF_Simple for now ^^ thanks for all the support ~<3 |
Uh oh. With both creative and programmatical powers, an unstoppable UI force shall be born. :eek:
