Debuff bars

[Anjalena]

Hey Scott. Don't squish me for suggesting this. You told me where to find the player debuffs and mob buffs. It's just, my brain is drool, and when I have to look too many places for stuff, I get confused and lose all ability to play and then I get deaded. *laugh*

So, I thought... when you have the time, and if you have the inclination... that you might make a plug-in that gives debuff aura bars. I'm thinkin they'd sit right beside the buff bars. Same for mobs. Of course you could just add them to the currently displayed bars. Just might color the debuffs red so we could see which are buffs and which are debuffs. Or whatever. I'm not a coder. Heh.

Anyway, that's my little suggestion. Also, did the map get a little smaller with the 3.1 dev versions? Or am I doing something retarded? But my arrow and all the dots on the map (like for my pet and for whatever I'm tracking) have gotten tiny. =( Maybe I'm running another addon that's doing that? I do have Cartographer. I got rid of my other map modifiers... I wasn't using them with nUI anyway, so I got rid of simpleMinimap and another one, not sure the name of it. Anyway, just thought I'd ask about it.

Okay, I'm gonna go die for a while. I'm so incredibly, horribly sick. UGH. Less than a week after getting out of the hospital. Fun, n'est pas? I'm sure I caught this thing while there at the hospital. It's such a "healy" place, don'tcha think? *giggle*

Sorry to hear you've been so sick ~frown~ but thinking positive thoughts for getting better. ~smile~

I'll be the first to admit that I am not satisfied with the current aura setup and I'm looking to improve on it.

As for the minimap... nothing has changed there, so it should be the same. I would not be surprised to learn that Cartographer was messing with it though.

Oh cool, thanks Scott. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with the bars (when you get time, obviously).

I'll disable cartographer and see if that's the culprit. =)

More likely it's the patch that changed the mini-map. I have heard that the icons on the map now scale with the min-map size.

[Anjalena]

Okay I was thinking you meant they scale with the level of zoom. So, the smaller the mini-map, the smaller the icons? It makes a little sense, but if that's the case, I'm screwed. I have a hard time seeing things on my mini-map now with this whole teeny icons issue. It's very very frustrating.

I took 3 screens of me and my pet, separated, so you can see my arrow size and the size of his circle. I took one with minimap zoomed all the way out (which is how I usually keep it), one with it zoomed all the way in, and then I logged out and disabled Cartographer, logged back in and took the third shot. No difference at all. They're still teeny. I think an ant is bigger than these icons. They're like... flea sized. =( Stupid Blizzard. *sigh*

Screens attached.

(oh, nifty hint for those who don't know... the Manage Attachments upload doesn't like filenames with parenthesis in them. Heh. Oh well. Hyphens will have to do me.)

What happens if you use the "Use UI Scale" option in the video options section and increase the value of the slider? (ps: you will have to do a '/nui rl' after you adjust it)
