Ask it! UI/Mods Edition

[Zetlizard]

Can anyone make a WA that counts the spells cast by a boss, for example Brackenspore Necrotic Breath, for example I'm supposed to use a CD on tank for breath #4, #8 and so on.

Looking for help with ElvUI, currently I am trying to change my unit frame font color to white, changing it from its current green for health, blue for mana and class color for names. I was wondering if there is any way to achieve this without swapping to SUF

My UI



Ideally what I want (this is with SUF)

Just remove the [namecolor], [healthcolor], and [powercolor] tags from the ElvUI text by going in to the unitframe options and selecting the text you want to edit from the drop down.

If you want your HP on your target to be formatted that way it would be [health:current]/[health:max] iirc.

[Kaitain]

I'm having a brain fart...

Why does this script (on a kgPanel) close Stuf party frames then immediately open them again?

if released then
	if Stuf.units.party1:IsShown() then
		Stuf.units.party1:Hide()
		Stuf.units.party2:Hide()
		Stuf.units.party3:Hide()
		Stuf.units.party4:Hide() else
		Stuf.units.party1:Show()
		Stuf.units.party2:Show()
		Stuf.units.party3:Show()
		Stuf.units.party4:Show()
	end
end

I'd understand if it did that if it were triggering twice in a row, but I'm not sure how it is.

nvm. this works:

if released then
PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\KaitMedia\\sounds\\button2.mp3")
	local a = Stuf.units.party1:GetAlpha()
		if a == 1 then
		Stuf.units.party1:SetAlpha(0.00001)
		Stuf.units.party2:SetAlpha(0.00001)
		Stuf.units.party3:SetAlpha(0.00001)
		Stuf.units.party4:SetAlpha(0.00001)
		end

		if a ~= 1 then
		Stuf.units.party1:SetAlpha(1)()
		Stuf.units.party2:SetAlpha(1)()
		Stuf.units.party3:SetAlpha(1)()
		Stuf.units.party4:SetAlpha(1)()
		end
end

I think with Show() and Hide() Stuf was telling it to show again as soon as I hid it.

Hey all.

Sorry if this has been asked or even if it is a silly question.

I was watching Sco from Method on his twitch stream the other day and saw that he has a nice setup that counts down boss abilitys in bars, and when it has less then 5 seconds to go the bar turns red. I dont know how to explain it better due to lack of IQ on my side. Hope someone knows what I am talking about and could assist me in trying to copy that setup it looks cool and could be verry helpfull. He also has a cooldown on Bress which could be helpfull.

Thank you in advance.

Deadly boss mods most likely, that also has a cd timer for ress.

for ElvUI
the map portion, when i enter raids, the garrison button covers the raid "flag"
how to fix this?

[Krom2040]

This seems like a silly question, but... what addons do people use for announcing major cooldowns or interrupts to the party? i.e. "I used Last Stand!" or "I interrupted Angry Demon Fire Breath"? I did a search and came up with a bunch, but not sure if there's one that's better than the others nowadays.

[Cheze]

what are the favored addons for tracking eclipse these days? I found several on curse but they all seem to be fairly limited.

I really just want a bar that I can move/size and style using shared textures, but this seems to be difficult to find

They all work more or less the same, just pick whatever appeals to you. RSA is still popular.

Assuming you mean the tracker in the middle near the bottom, then that appears to be EventHorizon Continued @ Wowinterface.

[alturic]

Does anyone know of an addon that will display BoE on items icons in bags/banks? I swear I had an addon that did this before but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I'm using the skada data text plug in for elv ui. Can i get ti to sort ppl by dps, rather then damage done?

Looking for Grid/Vuhdo gonna pay in Gold!

Hey Guys,
I fell in love with some Groupframes I saw on random screenshots recently and
tried to create my own Design of it, just the way I like it. I tried to use Vuhdo
for it, watched some guides and just tried it, but it never looked or worked the way
I really wanted it to. Thats why Im asking for help in here. Im willing to pay you out
for your time and work if youre ready to help me. Doesnt matter on what Realm or faction
you want the gold. Wanna play around +-10k Gold, maybe more if I really have to.

So, thats what I want it to look like -> pic-upload.de/view-25776642/TestV.jpg.html

Also some random google screenshots which I somehow like, not 100% but they are pretty
cool in some ways.

The optic is really important for me aswell, so there should be a little Frame
around every Player (maybe some very thin black one) but not around the whole Panel.

**General things about the Frame**
-The HP Bar should be dark grey coloured, just like I painted it, or it is shown in the Screenshots
I linked above. No gradient or other pattern, just a flat one.
-Lost HP should be coloured white, or even in a very light grey.
-The Ressourcebar should be in a standart ressource colour. A ligther one when filled up and
a darker version of the colour in the background of it.
-The Charactername should be displayed in classcolours.
-Directly underneath the Name should be a Hp Lost Display which also displays the "DEATH" message
when a player is Death. It should also display the Afk tag and the Ready Check symbol.
-The Oppacity of the Frame should be lowered if it is out of Range, and in addition the direction
arrow should be shown by mouseover.
-The Frame should be greyed out if a Player is dead.
-A red border if Aggro.
-White border for mouseover and my current target.

**More specifiy information**
I added numbers to some areas on my Screenshot, look at this right now.

1.) Powerword Shield and weakened soul debuff. Just a square with different colours. With a timer.
2.) Clarity of will. Just a square.
3.) Debuffs, left to right.
4.) Raidmark
5.) Debuffs I chose to be displayed larger than normal.

That should be it in general.
Would be nice if I find someone who helps me out here, like I said im gonna pay for it very well.

Greetings.

I'm looking for an addon that announces/broadcasts certain things (usually raid debuffs) in /say. I've seen it in videos, the person will /say "Gushing Wounds on me!" or "Mark of Chaos on me!" or whatever. I'd really like to know what addon does that. I do have PhoenixStyle with SayAnnouncer but it doesn't seem to work unless I'm a raid leader, unless I'm missing something. Thanks much.

Most Boss Mods do this.

Wasn't able to view any of the Urls you posted other than 'i.imgur.com/ZOqyXmX.jpg'...This happens to be an ElvUi customized by the player using it...all of the things you are asking for specifically are also able to be done w/in the ElvUi addon...I use it myself and highly recommend it.

This has absolutely nothing to do w/ the datatext for elv and is handled by skada setup.

Hey guys, struggling here:



I can't get the background to be transparent. What I'm doing is making a new file in PS, setting the background to transparent, then opening a screenshot of the Witcher 2 as a second file, selecting the UI, copying and pasting that into a new layer, then selecting the frame I want to make, sticking that in a new layer, erasing the inside and outside bits, then taking that border and pasting it into the first file with the transparent background. I make sure the canvas borders are a power of 2, then, I save it as a Targa, in 32 bit, and put it in Interface\Textures.

What am I doing wrong? How come the background isn't staying transparent? There's only one layer in my SubBar file in Photoshop, and it should have a transparent background. Right?

I don't know.

WoW doesn't look at what you've set as transparent to determine what not to show, it uses the alpha channel to determine what not to show.

If you don't know how to use alpha channels, this is a good tutorial for how to create the textures with transparency and using it in WeakAuras.

Oh right, the Colin videos! Someone linked them to me in the UI thread. I did watch them all, and most didn't pertain to what I was after...but that was weeks ago and I forgot how showed stuff about transparency. Will watch that one now. Thanks!

FUCKING YES I GOT IT TO WORK! MFW:



This is a huge step for me. I can actually do what I've felt was so easy to do, I can take X and stick it in-game via Weakauras. Yay!

[ProphetNoata]

Is it possible to take someones UI files(wtf/interface/fonts) and copy the settings of particular addons into your own. Lets say for instance i want to copy someones grid profile. And then another persons unit frames profile? Is this possible? And if so how would i do it.
