Possible to have 2 UI packages installed at the same time?

[elchali]

Hi everyone out there.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have two UI packages installed at the same time?
Ie. if I wanted to have UltimateShamanUI (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...0169-WIDE.html) installed for my shaman, and Alza UI (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...81-ALZAUI.html) installed for my warrior.
I know you can just rename the folders in the WoW folder, but is there another way of doing it?

Thanks!

You could try using Reflux, however I've not used this addon myself. You'll have to wait for somebody else to give further instructions.

I cant for the life of me remember how i did - but i used COmmand prompt to create a folder link for "Data" two my original wow folder, but i can't find the guide!

Do you still have the .cmd file?

Any chance it's like this?

Careful profiling and ensuring that you have only one package's addons running at once (i.e. no dominoes and bartender on at the same time) would make it possible. Reflux isn't necessary...Reflux is used to switch an entire UI while on one character in game (DPS -> Heal dual spec is what I've used it for in the past).

However, if there is addon overlap, the profiling will be difficult to do. If both packages use Pitbull, for example, the supplied profiles are in two separate files -- but Pitbull can only read one. You'd have to find a way to merge profiles or, like ghepip said, link them externally somehow.

This link: http://www.nostockui.com/2010/03/mak...rface-sandbox/ worked almost how I wanted it to for those who might want the same
(I posted the link in a previous post aswell)

Easiest way is to make duplicates of the first addons in ur addon folder
Change the names of the addons used by both to Bartender41 (just add a 1 or anything) etc
Then go into the folder u renamed and open bartender4.toc
Change the title to bartender41

Repeat for all duplicates

After that, go to ur WTF folder, and go to Accounts/<NAME>/Saved Variables, and Accounts/<NAME>/<REALM>/<CHARACTER>/Saved Variables
In both folders rename the SAME addon .lua's to bartender41

Afterwards install the 2nd pack

It should now work since they no longer use the same addons

Make sure u back up ur WTF and addons folder just incase i forgot something big :P

Hay guise look what I found at the login screen:



I want you to look carefully at the top left corner of this image.

Then it's also possible to save an addon's layout as a Profile.

I run different profiles with no problems.

Unless the source of the addon itself has been modified to the extent where another layout isn't valid, which I cannot see happening. If so you'd have to create your own variant of the base addon and redirect one of the UIs to it, which can or cannot be a pain, I know nothing about LUA.

MAKE SURE before u use this 2 have a copy saved incase you do something wrong, this is not the orignal copy i had i have done this in about 3min with google searching make sure to have spare copy's and test it out

Have the interface/wtf folders in the C:\ultimate and same with alza hope this helps

heres a start these 2 are seperate batch files

Shaman.bat
rmdir /s /q C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\interface
rmdir /s /q C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\wtf
Xcopy C:\Ultimate\ C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft
"C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe"

Warrior.bat
rmdir /s /q C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\interface
rmdir /s /q C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\wtf
Xcopy C:\Alza\ C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft
"C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe"

If you need to google how to make a batch file its the first link i cant post it here as a refrence as im still new its called "Batch File Help"

you also might need 2 change drive letters and paths this is just for me testing
