nUI -- A full feature standalone UI replacement

[spiel2001]

Hmmm... in order for that to happen, Bliz would have to say either that the target does not exist or that it has no maximum health. That's a really weird one.

As for the pet experience bar... SHIFT-P will do it until I figure out a way to do it that makes sense in the context of the dashboard. EDIT: It appears that Gagorian is no longer the go-to person on Dr. Damage. I messaged Dally1991 this morning asking to have nUI added to Dr. Damage's supported bar mods. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, as already mentioned, you can add the nUI support to Dr. Damage yourself.

I tried adding that code that you talked about, but it didn't work. There's an entire chunk of code in there that doesn't match what you have in the patch notes (the bit you have for "this is what it should look like").

Do you have the latest version of Dr. Damage from Curse.com?

Yes sir, I do.

Edit: Just remembered I had an issue last night when I was playing and went to check the taintlog. I had not yet edited the Dr Damage lua file.... Dr Damage was turned off. I hope I got all these... the file is pretty big.

hey silena took me a bit before i could get that bit to work with drdmg to i actually had to edit my lua file before i placed it into my addons folder but that may have to do with vista being picky about permission for anything
anyway this is what should show up right before and after the new code the first line in here is line 126 i think:

local function DrD_DetermineAB()
--Default
ABdefault = true
for i = 1, 6 do
for j = 1, 12 do
table.insert(ABobjects,_G[((select(i,"ActionButton", "MultiBarBottomLeftButton", "MultiBarBottomRightButton", "MultiBarRightButton", "MultiBarLeftButton", "BonusActionButton"))..j)])
end
end

if nUI_DrDamageIntegration then
ABrefresh["nUI"] = nUI_DrDamageIntegration( ABtable );
ABdefault = false;
end

if IsAddOnLoaded("Bartender4") then
local func = function(button) if button.Secure then return button.Secure:GetActionID() else return button:GetActionID() end end
ABrefresh["BT4Button"] = function()
for i=1,120 do
ABtable["BT4Button"..i] = func
end
end
PS if i can help out at all let me know good luck

For those of you who are having issues with getting Dr. Damage and nUI to work, first go to http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...dr-damage.aspx and download/install the latest release of Dr. Damage. Once you've done that, you can save the DrDamage.lua file attached to this post in Interface\AddOns\DrDamage and you should be good to go.

Thanks for posting that... but that is exactly what I have. If I disable nUI and log in, then DrDamage works and shows the Average Damage numbers on the spell icons on my action bar. If I turn nUI back on, DrDamage doesn't work.

I do thank you though for trying to help.

Not sure what I did to screw up, but I swear my file looked exactly like what neuralassassin posted. I even opened it in Prolix, re-sized the window and put it side by side with his post... code was identical. At any rate, I delete the lua file and downloaded yours. Works fine now. Thank you!

Heh, hello, I was curious if there is a way to disable the DK rune bar? I'm having an issue where it can't be clicked through, so when I try to drop a death and decay, sometimes I'll smack the rune bar and I can't drop it.

I'm not that well-endowed in the whole coding area :P. So if it's possible to remove it or move it, please let me know, thanks in advance.

And as always, great addon you have here, I hope you haven't given up on the 25 man raid frames .

[spiel2001]

I haven't given up on the 25 man raid at all, I just need to sort out the FPS leak problem.

As for the rune frame, I didn't realize I had left the one in the HUD clickable. I'll fix that for the next update.

Scott - I can also verify that on some mobs, the health/mana bars in the HUD disappear (they do flicker in and out sometimes tho). I noticed it while farming faction in Mana Tombs (or somewhere around there) last night. The whole bars poof from the hug - no outline, nothing.

Sil - if you are still having this issue, please PM me - I'll gladly email you the changed file. I made the changes as Scott stated, and the numbers show up on my nUI hotkeys now.

edit: nm - I see Scott posted it earlier

[spiel2001]

I could well be wrong on this, but this may be a Bliz bug with 3.0.3 -- the reason I say that is that the only way I don't display the health bar is (a) the unit does not exist in which case the entire unit frame goes away, or (b) the unit does not have a maximum health in which case the entire health bar goes away. Those are the only two conditions under which there's no health bar. So it makes me wonder if from time to time UnitMaxHealth() is falsely reporting that the target does not have a health bar.

Strange

THe flickering hp bar only appears since i've updated nUI. But afaik, there were rolling restarts yesterday too, so it could be that blizz screwed something up with a hotfix...

Hi,

I just tried out nUI and I really like it - it looks sooo good
But actually I don't think I will use it, cause it tooks too much place on my small screen.

What I really like is the Information Panel. It's a real good idea to combine everything in just one window.

Is there a chance to run this alone?

[Zangband]

is there a way to disable the casting bar? or replace it?

Not really I'm afraid. nUI was written from scratch from the ground up. It's not really modular, per se, so you would have to do quite some hack job for the info panel.

making other things work with the info panel isn't all that easy either. I wish there were a simple way to do it - there's a lot of things I'd like to toss in there (Carbonite's map being one of them...Carbonite's Quest Log being another).

Which one? The one over your character portrait in the player window or the one by the HUD?

Please remember that nUI is integrated and written from scratch...so things in it aren't super easily modified. If the casting bar happens to be it's own lua file, you may be able to rename the file and use a UI mod for the cast bar...But, for the most part, nUI's cast bar does for me what other cast bar mods have done - shows cast time, GCD, and lag adjustment.

I'll second that!
