What are your questions? Are they relative to Discord or specific mods? I played around with Spartan UI a bit and got rid of the CT Mod stuff as well as updating the Discord mods... seemed to work pretty well after a few simple changes and updates. I haven't tried it on the PTR yet though so that may totally break it again... time will tell.

Basically, we have everything working right. (we too did away with the CT stuff) But, we cannot get raid icons to show on the target frames. I believe this would be in Discord but we cannot find any options for that.

Glad to hear you guys are making good progress... that is a sweet UI. I'm afraid I never got that far with setting it up as I just wanted to get the basic functionality. What most have to do is just play around with Discord as I'm pretty sure that's what it uses for all the frames. Might also want to try posting on the Discord forums if you don't hear from a Discord expert here soon or maybe even try the Mazzle forums since they always see a lot of traffic (and since Mazzle also uses Discord). Good luck and can't wait to see what you guys do with it... hopefully you'll post it when you're done. :P

There's an option in duf for raid target icons, it's just named weird..and I can't remember it right now

I'll post back when Itake a look.

It's definitely a bit weird.

Look at the settings for one of the other icons. I think it's the race icon. In the special options (second page of options for a unit frame item), and there will be a checkbox that says something like "Use raid icon instead". If it's not the race icon, keep looking. It's definitely a special option on one of them.

btw, why does Spartan need revived? Did the devloper quit WoW?

No, but the developer is taking a while to update it.

Now that is what i call an understatement

I got the raid icons working, and changed some textures/sizes/locations/ etc. It seems to playing nicely with my other mods as we are getting almost no errors now.

I love this UI and although I tried to use others they just didnt "do it" for me.

Thanks everyone for the help. As soon as I feel the add on is near perfect I will post a screenie.

Are we going to see this posted soon perhaps? :P

The SS or a Compilation?

erica647 · 03-06-08, 06:55 PM

The compilation itself... I assume it will look close to the same right?

**Seerah** · 03-06-08, 07:20 PM

Muqq has posted several fan updates to the UI since it's last official upload, including one today: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...tanUI2.3c.html

Evolution85 · 03-07-08, 08:00 AM

Honestly, I have had not given any thought to doing a compilation for upload. I really dont feel comfortable doing so either for the following reasons.

1) I dont know how much time we could ultimately spare to keeping it up and going. 2.4 is just around the corner and it looks like it is going to break ALOT of mods.
2) Muqq has a version on here already (as Seerah stated) that will have the bugs worked out in no time. If Muqq ever decides not to continue it I "may" be talked into picking it up. But that is neither here nor there atm.

But I am flattered that anyone would be interested in it.
