Topic: So... UI Updates...

I see that Blizzard took a nice, big, steaming loaf on the UI community to a degree with this patch. Some of the updates are cool and needed to be done... some are a freaking nightmare unless you are Blizzard.

Anyone know if Flexbar is going to be updated or a viable replacement for it? This is the major part of my UI Setup and honestly I don't like playing without access to the normal 36 buttons I had on my screen before...

Any new and interesting addons that might be popping up now that the patch has been in place almost 24 hours?

Riiight... The use of all 120 buttons that Blizzard put in the game is the same as a modified graphics file that gives you the ability to instantly see a target because it's neon orange.

Grab the last version at the bottom

Flexbar2 - Second last link at the bottom. Their servers are getting hammered so be patient.

Woo! I've been trying to get to the Flexbar Forums since last night and it seems they're just plain dead... Server seems to have assploded or something.

Well, now I can get down to business on fixing the addons I've written and trying to rebuild the rest of my UI.

Flexbar is not the same as custom models or scripts. Using flexbar is akin to changing the Counter-Strike display so that you hold weapons with a left-handed stance as opposed to a right-handed stance.

To this day I am amazed at how fast Blizzard products can uninstall. Two equivalently sized games: most games take a 10-15 seconds, Blizzard games take less than 2.

I'm convinced they just clean out the registry and references to the files and leave all their shit there for the OS to write over later.

Mods that I need updated or replaced:

  • SHARDTRACKER

  • SimpleMiniMap (replacing SquareMiniMap which was broken in 1.9)

  • QuickCalc (it's just an in-game calculator... nothing more)

  • ProTimers (lets me know when banish or any other debuff or DoT will wear off. Like the timer in CTMod but will display multiple timers at the same time)

  • Theorycraft (oh jesus christ I need this)

    That said, /castsequence macros are the BAWM DOT CAWM

  • Pick up the new version of Dotimers....it has pretty timer bars akin to bigwigs for all dots, cooldowns and of course... banish. I love it. However, good luck getting it from any site due to server fuckery... if you have AIM, hit me up at estebon317 and I can toss it over

    Flexbar2 LOOKS like it's working.... but where the fuck are my slash-commands? I need to place things, lock them into groups, setup my "aura swap".... and there are no slash commands to work with... wtf?

    I have all 120 buttons in the middle of my screen.

    Yeah, my list is of mods that I have so far been unable to replace.

    Can cross protimers and shardtracker off that list, though.

    So I hit WowAce.com and Curse-Gaming.com and grabbed their "Ready for 2.0" addons that were updated on 12-05 or 12-06 and they all LOOKED like they were working.

    Then I tried to disenchant something.

    Hit DE hotkey, mouseover item to be DE'd, click, BOOM ERROR HAHAHA

    I'm so tired of seeing that "<insert addon here> has been blocked from performing an action available only to Blizzard" blah blah blah error.

    After getting it and disabling Ace2, FuBar, a couple of FuBar plugins, ag_UnitFrames, and about 3 other addons, it finally let me DE the damn green piece of junk loot.

    Certain errors seem to have a cascade effect.

    For example, casting siphon life was causing one error, but after I disabled the erroring mod, I'd get a new error in an different mod every time I cast it, no matter how many mods I disabled.

    Eventually I re-enabled all the mods I'd turned off except the initial one, /reloadui, and had no problems.

    I've still yet to find a working AddOn for action bars. Bartender seems to be completely broken, FlexBar just puts a huge block of 120 action buttons in the middle of the screen and still does nothing with Blizzard's action bars.

    FuBar has all its mods bound to the minimap now instead of having bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

    OneView was preventing me from accessing the main game menu through ESC. I had to control-alt-delete to get out of WoW.

    Whaaaat is goooooing ooooonnn?

    Make a script with this in it. Run it when the 'onload' event raises. It will get rid of all the blizzard interface that is not already toggleable.


    MainMenuBar:Hide()
    if (ExhaustionTick) then
    ExhaustionTick:UnregisterEvent(\"PLAYER_XP_UPDATE\")
    ExhaustionTick:UnregisterEvent(\"UPDATE_EXHAUSTION\")

    If anyone knows a good replacement for Monitor Status, I'd appreciate it as it hasn't been updated in months and no longer can be loaded.

    What it did was stick info right in the lower center of my screen at the most readable spot about my target's and groups HP and Mana/rage/energy+combo points.

    Like so
    Target 100 100
    Player 85 30/5
    Pet 60 40
    Group1 100 100

    Open up the Flexbar menu (you might have to go into your key binder and bind a key to it first). Open up the Flexbar Script menu, put that script in. Open up the Flexbar Event menu and tell it to do that script with the 'Onload' event.
