Ask it! UI/Mods Edition

[Alione]

Good afternoon. I am attempting to do a complete UI overhaul, hoping to become more efficient in raiding. I have two questions, thus far. Please reference "The Spirit Kings 25 Man Heroic Mogu'Shan Vaults Guide" - Fatboss (YouTube).

1) Around the <0:05> mark, I am noticing the portraits used for both the character and boss. I believe having them visibly centered by my character would definitely limit the amount of "eyeballing" that I do now. Could someone please let me know what is being used? I am a Mage, so I am hoping that the intermittent icons can be replaced.

2) Around the <3:50> mark, I wanted to know the addon that was used to show the boss abilities that were incoming. That would prove invaluable to me, as I am attempting to improve coordination of certain cooldowns with raid mechanics. It seems like NeedToKnow, but I am not familiar with being able to set it up to show enemy abilities/cooldowns.

1: Those are unit frames not portraits, but anyways you can move the default ones. (Player and Target) You can move those without any addon. Right click and select move frame. Or you can get a unit frame addon if you want to change the look of them. (Stuf unit frames, Shadowed unit frames, Pitbull4) are the most common ones.

2: Tracking boss abilities is done with Deadly Boss Mods(DBM) or BigWigs.

1) I'm guessing you mean unit frames - Have a look at Pitbull, Shadowed Unit Frames or Stuf. I'd say Shadowed would be a bit easier to work with if you haven't touched any of those before.

2) This is most likely a boss mod. Either BigWigs or Deadly Boss Mods.


EDIT: Damn you Mr. bOOURNS!

bOOURNS & Tellytop - Thank you so much for a very swift response. I was talking to a former mentor of mine, and it turns out that I had the DBM option already enabled, but I was being a noob (completely ignoring them because of BigBrother's spacing). I simply disabled the other add-on, used the "move me" function and I think I am definitely in a better place. Going to try my hand at unit frames now. Wish me luck!

I'm both a clicker and a fan of the default UI (save any convincing...I'm an old dog and I don't learn new tricks, I'm fine with both)

Currently the default UI has 5 action bars...standard, bottom left, bottom right, right 1 and right 2

I'd love to have another bottom left bar...or even move the right 1 bar to the bottom left (assuming it went from verticle to horizontal)

Anyone know an addon for this (I don't want something like bartender as I like where everything is located in the default UI...just an additional bar)

Thanks

http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/button-forge should do the trick

I would like to know if there is any way to make my UI look the same for ALL characters. I really dont want to copy paste the WTF folder for every char. Any ideas?

Try Reflux

What's the addon in the middle of the screen (the five icons - bloodthirst, raging blow, c.smash etc) which shows the cooldowns and when the ability is usable ?!

It looks like clcinfo
Since i am not playing warrior i only looked for it for 1min or so
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/clcinfo_armswarrior
is for arms.
You can look for the fury version or config clcinfo to look like that for fury.
Tho there are many addons to achieve the same result

Ps.Older versions where you can get codes etc to make your own:

Greetings.

I am looking to do some few minor UI tweaks. basically moving some default blizzard stuff around and stuff like that.
Right now I am looking for a good way to move around with the achievement frame. By this i mean some way to see where im actually moving it, rather than having to earn an achievement everytime i wanna see if i got it how i like... Other than this, i might want to move loot frame, won item frame, and i cant remember the last one. But basic of this last part is just some way to make it visible so i can see what im working with. I tried /script AchievementAlertFrame1:Show(); without luck.

EDIT: Thank you Treeston for quick and usefull reply, worked with no problems.
Also looking for someone with Pitbull, who has managed to get ThinOutline implemented, or just any person who got an idea about a way to do this. Thanks in advance!

Is there any addon for Enhancement Shamans for tracking Maelstrom Weapon stacking? WoW's Powerauras and that tiny stacking icon in the corner of the screen aren't visible enough. I'd especially want to be notified on which stack I'm on as I think I'm casting Lightning Bolt/CL too often or when I'm having wrong amount of stacks sometimes.

[Teklb]

Get Power Auras for start. Make a new entry of the buff fill in the required info and you will have your aura on your screen. You can adjust both position and size, either the icon or the stack counter. For example what i have done in my shaman is to enable text auras for icon w/o writing anything into it, and enlarging the stack count. So I get one big number showing the stack of the buff and nothing else.

I'm always trolling for new ideas to put into my ui and I watched some youtube videos With some cool stuff. I'm trying to figure out what the Addons are this guy is using below his Raid frames for cooldowns. Atm im using weak auras but they don't work quite the same way.



Also I wanna know if anyone knows what he did with his combat text.

[royalfriar]

Weak Auras and XCt

The UI in the Video is ElvUI and the cooldowns are Weak Auras with most likely the CleanIcons Thin icon pack to skin the icons of Weak Auras. The way those cooldowns display like that cause it's a pretty elaborate group set up made by Affinitii. You can get his WA set from his UI download and just copy over the WeakAuras.lua file. (doing this will lose all your own auras you've made and would have to remake any you want back.)

The combat text since it's ElvUI is probably xCT+ but there are a few other options. MSBT(Mik's Scrolling Combat Text) is most commonly used.
