That's StatBlockCore. I assumed since he mentioned it in his post that it wasn't what he was talking about.

The first block is picoFPS.
The second is the blizzardclock.
The third is Tekability.
The fourth is Minimap button Frame.
And the fifth is Raidbuffstatus.


Heh she. Its ok I forgive you. :cowdance

And yes that was the most of the info I was looking for. I'll echo GrimbleCrumb when complaining about LibDataBroker/StatBlockCore. It seems some of my blocks will move around when I logout then log back in. I would like to widen certain blocks (like location) so they don't wrap to two or more lines. Is there any way to do this? I've had limited luck with scaling it down, but then it gets to a point that I can't read it.

In the second pic I was more interested in knowing how you got your clock and buttons to look like that at the bottom of the screenshot. I assume to the right of the clock is some menu buttons from WoW?

I haven't modified my pitbull frames yet, so that is the next item to tackle. I'm especially interested in how you displayed your health and mana texts in your frames. I'm not much of a lua expert sadly.

I've been playing my priest more this week so I haven't really polished that much for my druid UI. I'll post something when I feel I'm getting closer to completion. Thanks for your help so far.

I never had problems with the StatBlocks moving around. Have you locked them in place? I have no idea what the problem could be.

To widen or shorten a block, make sure it's not locked, and just scroll wheel with your mouse on top of it.

The clock at the bottom of the screenshot is tied to the bosshealth bar right above it. It measures the amount of time the current or last boss fight has taken. The menu buttons are all part of that aswell. It's all pretty much default when you download DXE.

As far as the lua for pitbulls text. It took me about two hours of messing with just to figure out how to add colors. =P If you want the lua for a certain frame, let me know and ill post it here.

That fixed it, I would have never figured that out. Thanks Kavian.

I've one more question if you don't mind. How do you remove the little box that shows the raid difficulty at the top right?

See it hiding behind the moonkin form/master shapeshifter/fort/spirit icons?

Thanks. That solved my problem with StatBlocks. I think I'm finally done setting that up the way I like. The worst problem I had really was just trying to figure out where I wanted to place all my blocks.

I started working on Pitbull last night - wasn't confirmed for 25 raid, so I had the time. I was wondering if you could share your lua for Health and Power texts. I found a couple of things just from googling on how to change color, but was curious as to how you set yours up.

Also, I'm wondering how you set up the black border surrounding each frame. At one time I had it turned on, and I turned it off because I didn't like it. Of course now I can't find that setting.

I'm not really planning on changing the location of my frames. You can see my most current UI at the top of page 52 of this thread. I'm hoping I'll have a screenshot to share with you guys tomorrow.

MBF claims the newest version grabs it, however i can't find the option. It bugs the shit out of me, and I'm not sure how to make it go away.

Health for Self Frame
Code:
local s = Status(unit)
if s then
  return s
end
return "|cff00ff00%s/%s|r",Short(HP(unit),true),Short(MaxHP(unit),true)

Power bar for Self Frame
Code:
local max = MaxPower(unit)
if max > 0 then
  return "|cff0099ff%s/%s|r   ",Short(Power(unit),true),Short(max,true)
end


Health Percent for Pet, Target, and Target of Target. The mana percent is the same code, just with the Hex code changed to the blue color.
Code:
local s = Status(unit)
if s then
  return s
end
return "|cff00ff00%s%%|r",Percent(HP(unit),MaxHP(unit))


The black border isnt really a border. I just set Spacing to 1 and Padding to 2. Both are under Bars>General.

I'm bored - RL is explaining boss fight to everyone. Here's a screenshot of what I've got so far. Normally I don't put my statblock bars there, but since I had to open a GM ticket. So I decided to move them down so they wouldn't be blocked by that.

I have some bigger screenshots to share now so I'm looking for some input. Note that I moved the DBM bars further up and decreased the size of the text. I have also decreased the MSBT text in the top middle so it is not so large. Also added a few more entries to Spam Suppression list so it won't be so spammy.

Image
Original Size - 1680x1050

Let me know what you guys think. And thanks again for the help so far.

Mishti - That looks great when nothing is happening, but rapidly devolves into a garbled mess when you're actually raiding. I'd find a different way to display your middle column of MSBT. The overlap of your battle text and your boss alerts really make both impractical to read quickly. You may want to consider bulking up your filters on your battle text to filter out uneeded info. Do you need to see mana gains from impMoonkin etc.? I know you mentioned that you already fixed this a little but imo it's clouding your UI a GREAT deal during combat.

You have duplicate info with the Power Auras and your cooldown timer (particularly the DoT's but also the Eclipse). I realize you might want to hold on to an addon that tracks the ICD of Eclipse and separates them out, but if that's what you need from it, eliminate the rest.

It looks like you might be using Button Facade, in which case you should apply it to all of your buttons/buff frames etc. I noticed your buff frame looks drastically different from your other buttons/frames. That's more of a stylistic thing than functionality, though.

I agree with you, I spent a great deal of time filtering out all the junk while waiting for our RL to explain Festergut fight to the raid the other night. I think the mana regen from Imp. Moonkin form can go away as well as any other replenishment. I also took off the pally auras like devotion, concentration, and ret as well as leader of the pack and tree of life. Any suggestions on any others to filter out? Any ideas of where to move DBM bars? I kind of like seeing important messages from both DBM and MSBT in my face, but again I'm open to ideas.

Yep I was thinking about that last night. While I was transitioning to using Quartz Procs, I didn't want get out of my comfort zone of Power Auras. Unforunately I think Power Auras will lose out, even after all that hard work you put into making it. :(

I have Button Facade installed, not really sure if I am using it however. I was thinking about a new facade for my buttons any way. Couldn't remember if Satrina Buff Frames had an option to change them to look the same. But I will take a look at it.

I'll get to these the next time I'm at my home computer and can take a look at them long and hard.

You have been warned :P :P :P :P :P

I moved a few things around. Sorry about the poor quality. I moved DBM and tried to eliminate more from the notifications box for MSBT to eliminate spam.

All right Mishti first:

Going off your latest shot, you've cleaned it up a ton from the ones you linked earlier.

- Change your boss mod bar textrues to match the rest of your UI.
- Change the font on your pitbull name/class to match your cast bar and cooldown checker.

That's all I've got as far as things you can change. For MSBT I'd recommend filtering out pet dodges, and misses from when they attack, filter out any damage less than say 300 and heals less than say 300, and it will amazingly filter out quite a bit of spammy type things. For your notifications, I'd make Clearcasting and Eclipse sticky crit. Then the normal stuff would be NG gain and Loss, and any power gains above say 120mana. That will also filter out a lot of spam.

Raroo:
- Your UI is very off center. Move recount to the top left corner, and drop it to show the top 10.
- Move omen up
- Center your bars
- Move your minimap icons up by recount (I'd suggest above recount tucked in the corner, then recount below)
- Adjust your chat and other chat box so that they are in the corners and relatively the same size.

Voila, you've opened up a ton of space on your UI for better vision :) This would also allow you to drop your oUF down some so it's not nearly in the middle of the screen...if you know how to do that through the Lua.

Kus:
Love that look of LUI, but couldn't use it personally. See if you could center your "Attempts remaining before retreat" and you're fine.

I wanted to share my UI, since I think it could be useful for those people who have to heal sometimes (or like me, more than I'd like to). As you can see, I have the raid/group below my pj, and, when I'm not 'dpsing', SAA hides (obviously), leaving a clean UI for raid healing :)

WoWScrnShot_011610_173151.jpg [ 175.83 KiB | Viewed 1212 times ]

Mods seen:
-Bartender4
-Chinchilla Minimap
-Shadowed Unit Frames
-Quartz
-Grid (and a lot of plugins)
-ForteExorcist
-MikScrollingBattleText
-Prat3.0
-SquawkAndAwe
-DoTimer
-Recount
-MinimapButtonFrame
-The Wrath icon at SAA's left is OwlAdviser
Notice a few things:
·Only my auras appear over the player frame
·All buffs are in the top left corner, and fade to 0.2 alpha in combat
·Over the Target frame only my debuffs appear, but all its buffs.
·I have several bindings in the mouse, like Force of Nature or Hurricane (the bind on 6 will cast barkskin together with Hurricane), and others in another bars which I swap with º button, but in combat it stays as you see.
·Omen only flashes my Screen
·I have a lot other mods, laike bagnon, BigWigs, AtlasLoot... but they don't modify my UI

I hope you find it useful and any thoughts are appreciated.
