Ask it! UI/Mods Edition

Blizzard specifically provides those UnitID's, which means that clickable frames can be "created" for them - boss1/2/3/4/5 (I believe) are all part of the game's UnitID framework.

UnitID's are given for specific "Boss" units in some fights, Player, Target, Party1/2/3/4, Pet, Focus, Raid1-Raid40, and can usually have "pet" or "target" added to the end (partypet1/2/3/4, raidpet1-raidpet40, partytarget1-4, raidtarget1-40, raidpettarget1-40, etc).

Basically, if a mob isn't being targetting by you, a pet, or a group member, there's no way to create a clickable frame for them.

[Treeston]

You can actually append "target" to any valid unitID as often as you'd like. So "partytarget1" should be "party1target".

Exception is made for player names (which are valid unitIDs as long as the player is in your party or raid), where "-target" is used instead.

I left out the "targettargettargettargettargettarget (always some dude named Kevin Bacon, wtf Blizz?)" joke out of my earlier post. ;-)

Hi guys,

So i have just started using weak auras and i'm having a problem with some icons i want to configure. What im trying to do are some icons that show up when my buffs are ready to use (i.e Berserker Rage, Bloodbath, etc) and if i use them, the icon have to hide himself and show up again when the cooldown is <= 5 seconds. Also, I want the icon to glow when the cooldown reaches 0 seconds. Someone helped me and I got the icons working except for the glowing part... I tried many different things but the only glowing effect i found was the one in the actions tab and i don't like how it looks, and I couldn't make it glow just when the cooldown was in 0 seconds...
So my questions are, how can i make an icon glow exactly when the buff cooldown is 0 seconds? and, are there any other glow effects for the icons? something like the glow when you get a proc in the icons in your action bars?

Thanks in advance! and sorry for my bad english :P

That's my problem right now.
I'm rebuilding and suddenly, when I'm trying to apply the 1 pixelborder to my Stuf, it won't move with the frame. It's slightly off everytime.
Any ideas?

*EDIT* never mind! Found it.
The bar offset was set to "1" and "-1", Do'h

Hey, I am searching for a Unit frame that also have a castbar within the Health bar, so that when not casting it aint showing. like it is half transparent, while casting ontop of the health bar. I know it is a vague discription. But I am desperate for this addon.

[Skogul]

I've just installed IceHUD to try it out. I really like it so far. I'd like to know if it is possible to set up bars for tracking boss health/power/alternate power and the like?

Seeing as it is possible to create custom modules, I'm basically looking for what to write in the "Unit to track" text field. I'm not familiar with LUA yet, or much of the WoW API, and I'm not sure if I can find a library for it somewhere?

Any help is very much appreciated.

EDIT: I just looked a bit in previous posts in this thread, and saw the replies by Taryble. It works when using "boss1", so thanks!

[alinayg]

Sigh...dam it...wrote out this huge thing and lost it due to "you need to log in"

TLDR: Wanted new icon boarders, got Masque, applied it to my buffs as well. I use PitBull 4's aura, tracking to track debuffs. It uses Blizzard icon boarder UI, don't like it, looked around, but no go. Wondering if there was a way to change it, or get a new debuff tracking mod that's not going to clutter my UI, thanks!

Edit: Would have posted links and such to things but I can't, also here's picture of what I mean.

Hi, I've stumbled across this screenshot today and I like very much the UI in use; unfortunatelly i couldn't catch up with the owner so I still have no idea how any of the mods used are called or if it's some sort of compilation.
Any of you guys cares to help me out?

Looks like the actionbars are Bartender with somesort of Masque texture on top.
Health frame could be anything, Shadowed Unit frames, Stuf, AG, pitbull.
The yellow healthbars there are defo "Tidy Plates" And minimap is probably "simple minimap" or "Sexymap"
Not sure on the buffbar though.

It doesn't look like any type of compilation I've seen around, it's most likely homemade.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a simple mod that checks if people prepot and use a 2nd pot during the fight.

Is there such a thing? I don't need fancy smancy high end buffing mods, just this.

Thanks!

I think I made this for someone during Cataclysm. Let me check.

---------- Post added 2013-02-11 at 09:23 AM ----------

Found it. Here you go. It won't work with some of the API changes since then, however. Give me a second to fix it.

All done.

	["Earthen Armor"]=true,

            else
                print("Everyone had a potion buff when combat started!")
            end
            if (#noinpot>0) then
                print("Players that did not use a potion in combat: "..table.concat(noinpot, ", "))
            else
                print("Everyone used a potion during combat!")
            end
        end
    end
end)
a:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")
a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
a:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")

You'll still have to replace all the spell/buff names for the individual potions you want to be allowed at the top as I don't have an active account to check these right now.

So im looking for an combat text addon which is in a panel. Should track my healing, damage taken and damage done. Pretty much like in the following picture. (Im new on to forums so i can't post direct links/images)

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2coq93n&s=6

Does anyone know the addon in the picture? Or something similiar to it?

This feature is in PhoenixStyle.

[Myzou]

Does anyone know if there's an up to date addon that adds a minimap button to toggle recount?

Skada has stopped working pretty much at all for me, but recount works, but being able to click a button works a lot better than manually having to type /recount show.

[Korkkari]

Looks like EavesDrop

Thank you very much! Just the addon what I was looking for, expect I found it a bit too hard to configure. I've found pages which hints that eavesdropp should contain "advanced options" tool, however, after downloading the addon I can't find one? Any solution(s) for this?

[Ripley6174]

I want to play with health bars over enemies' heads, but seeing all those health bars over pets and totems and stuff gets confusing. Is there an addon that lets you choose what bars you want to show? I just want actual players and a few totems like Healing Tide.
