Looking for an addon that traks BG win/loss, I could have sworn there was a Broker or Titan panel addon that did it but can't seem to find it.

Thanks

WA question
Currently i want icon to track stack counts of buff, and remaining duration.
While i can do %s %p it doesn't really look bueno, since it goes into one straight line.
Is it possible to make it display stack count on top half of icon, and duration below ?

you can do a custom text and manually add some line breaks in between things, but you can't just put anchor one text to the top and one to the bottom.

Hey all.
I know this seems a bit lazy (and is, but 588 pages is allot to read), but can someone please point me to a place that can help me configure elvui. I see allot of people with great looking UI but when I try to configure elvui, I keep messing up. My brain capacity is real low so preferably a place with pictures if possible.

Thanks.

Hiya,

I've been looking for a way to customize the icon size of Bartender icons - I don't want them to be square, but rectangle, with more width and less heigth. I've looked through the lua files, and the only thing I could find that looked like it might do this, didn't in fact do so. Here's what I tried:

in ButtonBar.lua I changed the sizes here:
-- align the buttons and correct the size of the bar overlay frame
ButtonBar.button_width = 36
ButtonBar.button_height = 36

which only affected the overlay, not the actual icons. I can't for the life of me find where to adjust the actual size of the icons.



I'll be forever grateful if someone can manage to help me out.

Hiya,

I've been looking for a way to customize the icon size of Bartender icons - I don't want them to be square, but rectangle, with more width and less heigth.

Might be worth trying Masque Rectangle @ wowinterface.

[Rarch]

Might be worth trying Masque Rectangle @ wowinterface.

The issue I always had with that Masque overlay is that it squishes the icons, rather than cropping or zooming them. I wanted to try rectangle action bars myself, but never ended up with anything I liked because of that.

[Revan Bane]

Hm, think I'll just change and batch process the icons themselves again, easier than hassling with each separate addon. Thanks for the reply.

Okay, moving out on deep water here, but...

I'm wondering if there is any addon that modifies the default raid frames, like a skin or something? I don't like having to set up Grid or VuDho or the like, I really prefer the default frames. But they're a bit clunky and don't fit the rest of my UI. So I'm speculating in ways to modify them. I have a bit of programming experience, but not with LUA much yet, other than through other addons...

Any ideas on wether such an addon already exist, or if it would be do-able to make one? Mostly I'd just like to be able to change the fonts, colours, borders... perhaps even resizing them if possible.

EDIT: In relation to this, any hints to guides on how to start out with making WoW addons would be much appreciated.

Well you can add Raid Indicators, you can also change the size of some debuffs with Layover , you can also add Timers and Indicators, I'm not sure if CompactRaid actually uses the Blizzard Raid Frames, but I think it does.

You can probably find more at Curse/Raid Frames but those are the ones I've heard of before. Hope it helps.

I don't have any guides to provide because I'm not really looking into making addons, but I'm sure other people do!

CompactRaid actually does most of what I want it to, and is still quite similar to the default frames. Still takes some tweaking though, but seems to have some decent default settings based on class. However, it seems it hasn't been updated in a while, and it does not show shields on group members, like the default frames have been updated to do. I guess it might be a minor nuisance for the time being, but it'll annoy me in the longer run. :/

Another question, different issue!

I just installed Aurora and Clean Icons: Tiny, as I'm following the tutorials by Touchymcfeel. Problem is, I'm also using the addon iLvLr, and it is creating some weird black borders on the icons in my character screen.

Any tips on how to remove those? I really want to continue using iLvLr, but it looks pretty darn bad. :/

So, I made a whole thread about this issue.. Which probably was kind of pointless. So instead I'll just post the issue I'm having here.


I use Elvui as many others. And along with Elvui I am running Elvui_addon_skins or whatever it's called. But I'm getting LUA errors all the time connected to the skins addon.
So, what I did was I removed all my addons and logged in. 0 errors.
Reinstalled Elvui. 0 errors.
Reinstalled addon skins. Errors.

Tried deleting my WTF and Interface folders and then reinstalling Elvui + addon skins. Still getting errors.

This is the error I'm getting:

That Lua error is not from the current version of ElvUI_AddonSkins. What is your current version number and where are you downloading it from?

Downloading it from the curse client.

Could take a look at the Tuk homepage instead and I'll get back to you.


Edit: My version was 1.65. The one from Tuk's homepage was 1.69. So I'll give that a go.

WA question
Currently i want icon to track stack counts of buff, and remaining duration.
While i can do %s %p it doesn't really look bueno, since it goes into one straight line.
Is it possible to make it display stack count on top half of icon, and duration below ?

You can also duplicate it and put them both in the same group, and then make your newly duplicated one text only. Use the group to manage the two layers... this is the way for non lua ppl like myself :P This way you can also animate the text and texture/icon independently.

[SOLVED] Weak Auras - Resto/Balance Druid Wild Mushroom and/or Efflorescence Reminder If you already knew about this.. damn you lol

If you've tried this on your own and failed, you know Efflorescence isn't a personal aura and there's no registration in the addon for druid totems. Here's the frustratingly simple workaround from an ancient thread: wowace.com/addons/weakauras/forum/18727-wild-mushrooms/#p10 (sorry can't post links yet) ... seriously druids have had totems for years now - how is this still the solution? Oh well it works. See for yourself!

Weak Auras Resto Druid Wild Mushroom Reminder import string - pastebin.com/u85dTHSc
Triple click the body of the raw paste data or be sure to copy/paste accurately. Delete extra spaces after pasting if any are present.

I put mine right over my classbar so the default UI 5min icon shows up in place of the reminder as I cast Wild Mushroom. Balance druids probably don't want inverse tracking for mushroom but w/e - they can duplicate more triggers for the same tracker like it seems Halari in the mentioned thread did for their own purposes.

The next step is to track how many people are currently affected by Efflorescence, but since the source of the spell (according to the combat log) is the totem, the usual tracking trigger options aren't enough. I'll need some LUA guru advice or code to copy/paste...

Hey, I recently returned to WoW. I am still low level but that won't be for long and I am already wanting to set up my UI because I really am a flashy kind of person and the normal UI bores me plus I miss some of the info I used to have.

So my question is what are some good up to date addon's to build a ui out of for a bm raiding hunter. I would also like to note that I have a very good gaming set up so addon size and power doesn't matter too much, i play wow on ultra 60-90 fps most times. I would also like to start making use of my keybindings. I have the razer naga epic mouse if anyone knows what that is and a razer anansi keyboard.

So far I am thinking addon wise...

-Skada (I heard recount is no longer used due to tech issues)

-Xperl (I used to have this, I really like how it can animate the character icons and make them realistic and 3D)

-Deadly boss Mods

-Prat 3.0 (Chat addon)

Any help, guidance or suggestions would be great at this time!

Likely a custom standalone addon or custom code in WeakAuras/PowerAuras.
Looks pretty basic appearance-wise, so I think it was put together to be functional and perhaps is something personal by that user.

[dementedlogic]

Its Weak Auras text that has a simple load trigger like just "In Combat" and the trigger is something similar to Player Health >= 0%.

There has been standalone addons created for similar (but better) functionality that highlights a line based off of stacks or other mechanics on a boss, but as far as I'm aware Thok doesn't have one.
