rnxmUI

[open marlin]

wanted to share the progress on my WA UI set in motion by Caith's ui!

[scenic steppe]

I like where it’s headed! I dislike the details window floating in no man’s land though

[sharp crag]

So coooool

@boreal plume You are inspiring ppl

[open marlin]

haha i havent gotten around to it yet, but would be nice if you could hide it under certain conditions (like flying)

[open marlin]

testing some fun spell feedback stuff 🙂

[sharp crag]

What plater profile is it for thos numbers it looks so cool how they ping out

@open marlin

[open marlin]

its my ClassicFCT profile, i have 2 different ones, one that displays color by type+icon, and one with yellow color only

[sharp crag]

God its so cleannnnnn

[open marlin]

not actually sure how to export files from cfct but ill have a look!

its unfortunately not 100% up to date tho but theres a fork on github that makes most of the features work

heres the other one, its a little more filtered, the one in the other video was more "fun" that i used with remix!

[sharp crag]

Nah the first one is far better

[fossil yoke]

How did you manage to do that?

[open marlin]

ive overlayed the action bars with weakauras

triggers and animations

i can link one in a sec

[open marlin]

https://wago.io/J79hbYDwd

it all depends on what ability you are using it for though, i'm using several triggers and theres a condition since i only want it to display when killing machine is available and play the animation when killing machine is consumed

[fossil yoke]

Tyvm!

[open marlin]

i actually have no idea to export profile

[sharp crag]

I dont think u can tbh

[open marlin]

i can make an imgur gallery with all the settings later, bit tedious but at least it gets the work done

[sharp crag]

❤️

[tawny sun]

Can you share link?

[open marlin]

https://github.com/TechHypno/ClassicFCT/forks

[open marlin]

let me know what you cook with it!

[open marlin]

another thing i forgot to show, gradient hp bar at 60% and 30% with a foreground model

[quasi juniper]

Good job 👍

[fresh lake]

OOoOoO NEED THIS

[open marlin]

i've previously tried to attach a model to progress, so that everytime you take damage, e.g. 10/20% of hp it will display a hitvfx, but thats unfortunately in custom code territory, and i don't go there haha

like a blood splat to indicate a good chunk of hp just vanished

[open marlin]

https://imgur.com/a/yai6rG3 the custom font i use is roboto condensed bold, i have no idea how to add fonts to sharedmedia, if anyone can do it please feel free ❤️

[boreal plume]

I always said this is the best part about building uis and why i am so reluctant to leave wow

[sharp crag]

@lilac minnow This is the profile im talking about for reference

[lilac minnow]

?

[sharp crag]

go to ur onlyplates last post

i commented

[lilac minnow]

I see now

[sharp crag]

You would ascend into the heavens with this profile

[fresh lake]

Nameplate Scrolling Combat Text looks almost identical - can do the same thing

[open marlin]

unfortunately it doesn't have all the in depth settings as classicfct, but it is better maintained

but yes, it has some animation variation, can display icons and color by damage type

[fossil yoke]

where did you get the textures from (playerframe, actionbars)

[open marlin]

testing some more spell feedback, this loads if you have the new Cryogenic chamber talent, displays the current value built up and has a static animation

[fossil yoke]

and I assume you are using bartender?

[open marlin]

they're all from blizzard atlas except the power bar which is a custom texture i imported

im using dominos but im sure bartender would work as well

[fossil yoke]

i will try to get a version of this ui replicated, keep up the amazing work, it really looks fantastic! ty for the inspiration

[open marlin]

no worries and thank you, be sure to post your progress! 🤩 its an ever work in progress, but i can give you some snippets to get you started

[fossil yoke]

I would appreciate that a lot! btw what do you mean with blizzard atlas? just standard blizzard textures?

[open marlin]

a little vide of it in action

[open marlin]

just ingame textures yeah, there's an addon called Blizzard Atlas Viewer that lets you look them all up ingame

[lilac minnow]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[fossil yoke]

alright, i will look it up!

[lilac minnow]

This is so damned hot

[open marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-funny-gif-24793899

[open marlin]

i also got inspired from your nameplate aura with razorice, i tried a different spin but it didnt turn out that well yet

[lilac minnow]

Using ElvUI, I attempted a few different things...first was recoloring the bar but it was being weird. First it would overwrite color codes for mobs that Blinkii developed, which is counter productive. Second, it would trigger some weird aggro coloring where, after you consume the 5 stacks, the coloring on the bar would show bad aggro, then good aggro. It's why I settled with the borders/recoloring names and what not. Tends to work better for me, at least.

[open marlin]

im currently doing it with weakauras and plater, but from experience weakauras tend to clash with plater strata settings

like you can't have a model show above the nameplate but under the name, unless there's a script for additional naming stratas

and then if you just set the weakaura strata to higher than the plater, then theres weird things happening when nameplates overlap

[lilac minnow]

I've not messed around with that, at all. I've seen some other strata/level conflicts with NPs where ElvUI FCT and/or ClassicNumbers both are higher than the NPs themselves. Makes picking out/seeing key information with NPs a bit difficult. Probably something I should point out to Simpy with ElvFCT, but it's not a big enough deal. I just use Blizz numbers there and adjust their size via Eltruism.

[open marlin]

so the sct in your latest video is elvui fct? i thought it looked pretty slick to be honest

[lilac minnow]

Plain ole blizzard

[open marlin]

haha full circle i guess

[open marlin]

heres the preview

[lilac minnow]

Lol, yup

[lilac minnow]

I'm gonna toy with ElvUI FCT this afternoon and see what I can come up with. If I can get it to show lower than the NPs, I'll switch. So much flair to be had by coloring the text.

[open marlin]

yeah for sure, my gripe with ClassicFCT atm is that its not maintained so color settings don't actually work outside of the default, which is especially annyoing on frost dk because its coded to display obliterate as physical (red) when its frost damage with killing machine

[lilac minnow]

I think this probably a combat log issue more than anything else. Even details records Oblit damage as physical...without splitting it in any capacity.

Time for me to start pumping out issues to the devs to see if it's even possible to split it.

[open marlin]

thats very true, i didnt think about that

[lilac minnow]

I'll shoot a note to Simpy and Flamanis to confirm it being a combat log thing more than anything else.

[open marlin]

thanks boss

i'll put the nameplate auras on the backburner for now, i already have the frost strike vfx for when the target has 5 stacks

at some point its all too much lol

[lilac minnow]

Nice!

Hmmm...ElvuiFCT colors KM'd Oblits as just "damage"

[open marlin]

exactly, those are pretty much the same options as classicfct

except none of them work lol

[lilac minnow]

This is my current issue with this FCT, numbers are above the nameplates

[open marlin]

and no strata options?

[lilac minnow]

I've looked before and I didn't see any...really good chance I've overlooked them.

[open marlin]

i also feel a merging/filtering option is a must have, thats my main gripe with blizzard fct, i don't care about the white hits unless they are meaningful, and i don't care about dot ticks that doesnt impact my character

only reason i have dots enabled atm is because of frost fever ticking pretty hard and building cryogenic chamber

[lilac minnow]

The ElvUI FCT can merge damage and ignore types of damage, tho I've not messed with it at all.

Your cryogenic chamber solution over the ABs is really slick. I actually just sent a request that Luxthos incorporate that in to the DK package.

Fwiw, combat log is showing as frost...time to see what WCL records...

WCL is also showing as physical...wtf

[open marlin]

i guess my next step will be to try and learn elvui

[lilac minnow]

Lol, welcome to the dark side. I'd chat with Caith about their journey to ElvUI as there's been some speedbumps trying to incorporate their textures in.

[open marlin]

and thanks, i really like the more impact from certain abilities on AB, its flavor like the fct

haha yeah so i've seen

[lilac minnow]

Your UI is sick man, I wouldn't switch just because of FCT for sure.

[open marlin]

heres the latest on obliterate, purple glow border and "obliterate hit vfx" when 2 stacks

[open marlin]

thanks man, its been a few hours, i'm sure there is a lot to optimize though as running 300~ weakauras probably isn't the best for performance

[lilac minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[open marlin]

haha and by hours i mean months

[lilac minnow]

Lol, same man, same

But you guys (you, Caith, Hope) all do amazing work with what you do

I just change some textures lol

[open marlin]

https://wago.io/cP2iedbRP i completely forgot, its a mess, but its my mess so hopefully it gets you started! good luck navigating it lol

[lilac minnow]

I'll post in here once I hear back from Simpy and the Details! dudes about why this damage is being recorded as physical. Cheers!

[open marlin]

these are the custom bars for powerbar, needs a texture folder in interface

World of Warcraft_retail_\Interface\AddOns\Textures

or you can convert it to progress bar and use a different texture

i also use mMT - Media Pack for my bars

[open marlin]

and thanks! be sure to 😄

[lilac minnow]

Details! (And I assume WCL), say that Oblit not showing frost damage is a Blizz issue. Even tho the combat log says it’s frost damage.

[open marlin]

i see, that's a weird oversight to be honest

[open marlin]

trying something a little bit different, felt like everything was glued to bottom, so i tried to air my frames a little 🙂

[sharp crag]

Bro it looks so sick

[lilac minnow]

Where I'm at with ElvUI FCT...

[sharp crag]

already lookin good

[open marlin]

nice nice its getting there!

[open marlin]

hows the strata stuff going?

[lilac minnow]

Likely not something that'll change any time soon

Simpy is the primary dev of ElvUI, so his priorities are likely more focused on that than FCT (which he also manages)

[open marlin]

was thinking maybe you overlooked them like mentioned before! unlucky that there is none 😦

[open marlin]

since the new tip of the spear feels like its the new holy power i made this resource for survival!

[lilac minnow]

Now you're just showing off

That's sick man

[open marlin]

😄 i've been trying to do something similar for ages, but the way dk runes works is fucked

for dk*

[lilac minnow]

The skulls you have working are pretty well done imo

[scenic steppe]

Don’t like the classic numbers addon jib often uses?

[open marlin]

dot or do it?

[scenic steppe]

Damned mobile keeb

[open marlin]

honestly just ripped them off wago and tweaked them a little

haha

[lilac minnow]

Just spent the last 10 minutes looking at aura's for dk

[open marlin]

find anything cool? @lilac minnow

[lilac minnow]

Not really

[open marlin]

a lot of it is very similar

[lilac minnow]

Yeah, very much so

[open marlin]

lol

i'm thinking i'll make xp bar next, since launch is right around the corner!

[lilac minnow]

As long as it replaces that azerite bar you have hehe

[open marlin]

haha blame dominos not me

[lilac minnow]

Lol

[open marlin]

its onebar mode iirc, it cycles through rep,xp,honor,ap but idk what makes it cycle

[open marlin]

screenshot of the first day i started, its a bit different now!

[boreal plume]

Yes, yes, yes. Always let frames breath. So many dont understand that concept imho

[open marlin]

its a fine line between that and it feeling floaty

[open marlin]

@lilac minnow

thats usually the casterbar position, but seeing as dks don't really cast i thought i'd use the space for something else

[lilac minnow]

Be careful tho, that kinda of shaking could cause a seizure

Worth it tho, that's sick man

[open marlin]

i could probably tune down the shaking haha, its also a little big now that i look back at it

[lilac minnow]

We're talking the PoF bar, right?

[open marlin]

yea haha

[lilac minnow]

Maybe make it the same height as your health frame

[open marlin]

heres the castbar for reference

the castbar is like 0.1 times bigger than the healthbar, but i feel like that makes sense if you are a caster

ill try make it thinner

[lilac minnow]

They both look really good. My take would be to make them the same (weird OCD-ness from me). But I do like those blues for it

[open marlin]

the castbar is older so im going to be updating it, but yeah i agree they should be same size

so much to dooooooo

[open marlin]

what you think about the extra bars btw? personally i dont need to show more than 2 but for accesibility i thought id try incorporate it

[lilac minnow]

I was just chatting with a buddy about this, I don’t show anything that isn’t necessary. That’s just my take. I think the 2 bars are probs plenty, especially with what you’ve done with them.

[open marlin]

yeah i feel its hard to have more than 2 because where do you put them, either its too stacked or it spills out too much

[lilac minnow]

I use Opie for functions that would otherwise be on additional bars (mounts, hearths, etc).

[open marlin]

@here ClassicFCT has now been updated to 11.0 has working interface and color options without needing github fork

[sharp crag]

Oh hell yah

[lilac minnow]

Guess im gonna try that out tonight. ElvUI FCT just isn’t doing it for me.

[open marlin]

the customizability is pretty nice, and can be pretty blizzlike too

[lilac minnow]

But…are KM’d oblits blue??????

[open marlin]

no but now you can change physical to any color you want 🙂

and make a dk only profile

[lilac minnow]

I can’t with this…I’m uninstalling WoW

[open marlin]

i've put in a request with the author

if he can add a obliterate category

[lilac minnow]

First they nerf FDK by a 1% reductions, basically we are ded now

[open marlin]

precisely because of the issue with blizzard

[lilac minnow]

And combat text can’t even show me my oblits are frosty damage

[lilac minnow]

I haven’t researched this, yet. But it’s odd to me that the combat log actually records this damage as frost…

I’d lean that it’s not actually Blizz

[open marlin]

meanwhile.. hehe

in any case, stormstrike has the same issue, and that has a color category of its own

[lilac minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/so-hot-the-things-they-do-fuck-damn-leonardo-dicaprio-gif-5195946

[open marlin]

so shouldn't be too hard for him to add

theres a look at the smaller pof bar too, i removed most of the shaking

and the "frost" pulsates instead

but im debating it even slimmer

[lilac minnow]

Can you link where you pulled the update from?

[open marlin]

its on curseforge

hold on

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/classic-floating-combat-text

it doesnt show up pn curseforge client for some reason

[lilac minnow]

Ok, I was confused and thinking of "ClassicNumbers". Lemme give this one a swing

[open marlin]

do it boss, excited to see what you come up with

[boreal plume]

im using CFCT for 2 years, its great

[open marlin]

its what ur using for caithui currently right?

[boreal plume]

yes

to move numbers above nameplates and above debufftracker on nameplates + show spell/skill icon on resist so i can see what resisted (or got dodged, parried, etc)

[open marlin]

good man, wouldnt hurt with even more cft addons!

[open marlin]

bottom text is amount rested/%rested

[lilac minnow]

ElvUI FCT was updated. Now has a strata level and accounts for KM'd Oblits being frost dam.

[open marlin]

nice, is it possible to grab elvuifct only? or is it integral to elvui

[lilac minnow]

I think it requires ElvUI

[open marlin]

i see, how did you fare with cfct btw?

[lilac minnow]

It’s very good! But, I disabled all text lol. I’m gonna mess with E-FCT for a day or two again.

[quasi juniper]

No FCT should also work on other NP

[open marlin]

fair enough, yeah the best part is disabling stuff lol

[open marlin]

i see, is it this? https://github.com/kodewdle/ElvUI_FCT

[lilac minnow]

Yup

[open marlin]

i guess ClassicFCT completely broke after last patch anyway

[open marlin]

it works on different nameplates but it still has elvui dependency unfortunately

[sharp crag]

im always so confused on what breaks these addons

I meant like fundementally what breaks the code doing a patch haha

[fresh lake]

https://tenor.com/view/liar-blizzard-activision-blizzard-activision-bobby-kotick-gif-10247464055084334428

[quasi juniper]

delete it in the toc file

[open marlin]

delete this you mean?

or just leave requiredDeps blank?

[quasi juniper]

Delete it and test

[open marlin]

i tried leaving requireddeps blank but only errors

[open marlin]

from the looks of it this patch changed some callbacks, as to why who knows

my portrait weakauras didnt work anymore either

[quasi juniper]

ok, it was worth a try, i think then probably some functions or libs from elvui are needed

[lilac minnow]

Still messing with ElvUI-FCT. The strata of text isn't respecting or working properly (waiting to see if it gets corrected). But I did overlook this setting for shaking the plates.

[open marlin]

nice, ive played around with that in plater as well but although it looks good i find it jarring in actual content combat

looks like theres a fork on github again now, im gonna test it

looks like it works.. but now settings are broken again, game freezes if you try to open

classicfct that is

[scenic steppe]

it's shake n bake, and i helped

[open marlin]

ill give that a try tomorrow!

[boreal plume]

imho the elite dragon border around the target frame seems a bit out of place with your unitframe style.

[open marlin]

yeah its some leftover stuff from the cata iteration, the target and tot frames are on the refresh list, so much else to do though!!!

i keep doing new things instead of updating what already exists

[boreal plume]

down the rabbit hooooole

[open marlin]

you know the drill boss

[boreal plume]

stuff on the list. the list:

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-to-do-list-long-list-gif-5580267

[open marlin]

😢

i just need to finish up some basic features though and then i can release i think

but i keep not doing that hehe

[open marlin]

new player cast bar + sneak peek at empower bar 😮

[sharp crag]

It should be against the law to not release this insane UI

[open marlin]

its coming together nicely now! 😄

[sharp crag]

Idk why but i think i still would want the map on the right and the quest to the left hmm

[open marlin]

less eyestrain on UW hehe

[open marlin]

like this?

[sharp crag]

Heck yes

[open marlin]

easily moved in edit mode! i've actually got quite used to the other way around

[boreal plume]

quest on left side of the screen

otherwise your buffs/debuffs move right into your target frame, which i saw on your reddit post

[sharp crag]

^ caith knows his stuff

[open marlin]

i've adjusted the buffs and the bossbar

ill play around with quest on left

[sharp crag]

!!!!

This just looks so insane

[boreal plume]

did you got the elite dragon border from weakaura blizz atlas?

whats up with that :x

[open marlin]

that one or the bossbar one?

[boreal plume]

i suggest to move the power bar in the middle off the hp bar, not the middle of the frame

but then it would be a bit off centered if you look at the great picture

[boreal plume]

well its the same asset

[open marlin]

a little to the right works

and then power bar a little to the left i guess

[open marlin]

UI-HUD-UnitFrame-Target-PortraitOn-Boss-Gold

pretty sure its DF

but yeah still haven't got around to doing target frame yet heheh

[boreal plume]

if you wanna keep the asset, i thought about this:

or replace it with a more fitting style for your UI theme

oh i would probably recolor it too. moment

[open marlin]

what you think about this?

[boreal plume]

i just did this in paint

😄

yeah, the yellow/gold is out of place imho.
if you wanna keep the dragon, that is. i still dont think its fittring your your general theme. i would suggest some spikes instead

bwt what is this

enemy power bar?

[open marlin]

nameplate

[boreal plume]

[open marlin]

im wondering if you can turn off boss nameplates when targeted?

do you know anything about that

[boreal plume]

no

[open marlin]

kk

i think i like portrait frame in front, unsure about color yet

idk what gives you a spiky feel about the ui

[boreal plume]

the blizz asset u use everywhere

i really like the general theme. i do think it needs a bit of polishing but the the concept is very good

i did use the same asset back when i made some elite borders myself

let me find it ...

it is behind the skull

[open marlin]

oo thats pretty good

[boreal plume]

anyways, its your ui i dont wanna mess with your ideas. keep up what u doing ^^

i noticed the buff borders are overlapping

[boreal plume]

yeah its the kinda style i moved into when i made caith classic

[open marlin]

yeah i removed masque, it screwed up some things

[boreal plume]

oh i 100% understand that 😄

my actionbars looked like that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1217056331710726206/1223038793435582474/image.png?ex=66c07de3&is=66bf2c63&hm=369bc05d4e0d7da93b35a1905a094c3d05afc0ced5eceb584fd3927d0b3b5854&

its similar to your idea. making a way cooler "blizzard default ui"

😄

[open marlin]

i really like this, but its a little spiky for me, i intend to keep the color scheme no darker than this or maybe dark bronze

pretty much, i mean your earlier iterations from like p1 sod i think is what set me off so

its very much inspired in some ways but i like centered player frame etc

i think i still have your old zip on my pc somewhere 😄

[boreal plume]

thats great. keep the creativity flowing

[open marlin]

i think its this iteration i have

[boreal plume]

yeah. when i look back at old uis from me i wanna instantly play them

but you know the drill... keep on diving down the new rabitt hole

[open marlin]

having a hard time with skyriding vigor, i wanted a dial with charges

might have to import some custom textures to make it look good, anything blizz related isn't doing it so far

[open marlin]

attaching it to personal nameplate with alpha 0

[open marlin]

current "final" version

some minor placement issues but im sure caith can point them out

[amber coral]

those "squareish" frames did you make those or are they from the game assets with WA? 🙂

[open marlin]

game assets and WA

[open marlin]

@lilac minnow

testing out some stuff for exterminate, yellow glow is normal like blizzard, glows blue if killing machine stack 1+exterminate active, glows red if KM stacks 2+exterminate active

and red because it matches reapers mark icon hehe

[sharp crag]

We arent friends till you release it

[fresh lake]

Check his Reddit! Released

[fair briar]

I can't found it can you share the name ?

[fresh lake]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WowUI/s/JkFeoeHASt

[fair briar]

Thanks !

[open marlin]

i plan to streamline the installation thing in the future, i just haven't looked into it at all yet and i cba yet hehe

[fair briar]

It would be super

[lilac minnow]

Hot

[open marlin]

@sharp crag bored at work and updated the ClassicFCT profile, i replied to the old one so u can see the difference

[sharp crag]

!!

[open marlin]

and merging options

[open marlin]

testing out maelstrom bar

[open marlin]

a little update 🙂

[lilac minnow]

Ohhhhhhhh

[open marlin]

i like it as a first take, but i think it looks a little close to chi

with the windy orbs

[lilac minnow]

Maelstrom weapon, not just plain vanilla maelstrom

Bro

Stop

It’s too much

[open marlin]

you think its too much?

[lilac minnow]

No no, it’s great

[open marlin]

its a little heavy if you actively look at it but it's actually pretty visually great in dungeons to keep track of the stacks

[open marlin]

i plan on doing something cool for dk next, at this point i've gotten used to playing without runes lol so i might try something different

[lilac minnow]

It’s both very sick and very unique.

[open marlin]

i also redid the dragonflying ui to mirror the normal one

server is down atm so can't post but the vigor is where the power bar is, and i moved dominos skyridng bar with scripts so that it centers when mounted but pops back to normal when dismounting

i kinda didn't like the fake WA bar

[lilac minnow]

I’d be interested to see it

[open marlin]

ill tag you in an hour ish!

bar looked like this at one point, i kinda liked it tbf lol

[sharp crag]

Not talking to u still

[open marlin]

i've streamlined alot so its gonna be easier to install 😮

[sharp crag]

Okay i still like u

:)

[open marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-smile-shyboos-smile-gif-11176241070398833675

i've been collaborating with some guy on reddit that is making arena frames with WA as well which ill be incorporating for the pvp people

[sharp crag]

What a bro wow

[open marlin]

yeahboii

all credits to him though, i've really only given some pointers but hes made it all

this is his screenshot!

[sharp crag]

Wow

[open marlin]

yeah man!

its insane the things you can do in WA even without custom code

[fair briar]

Man, this ui and wa are so cleaaan, do you plan making them for mage ?

[open marlin]

which part specifically?

@lilac minnow

arcane orbs and hotter streak maybe

[lilac minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-hot-sweat-sweaty-nervous-gif-21026685

[open marlin]

i'm having some issues with skinning in WA though, im trying to move away from Masque as its bugging some other things but then it looks very square in WA

and wierdly dominos has some bar paging delay sometimes

[fair briar]

Yes exactly

[open marlin]

most likely not or atleast not for a while, i don' really play mage so its quite low on the list of things to do

[fair briar]

ok ok

[wet steppe]

So are you making all of your textures or are you using textures found in other addons/plugins?

This is one of the cleanest UIs I've seen

[open marlin]

its 90% just blizzard assets, some textures i've imported myself and thanks!

[wet steppe]

was any custom lua coding required or was it just using the built in functions of WA

and is it per class or is it generalized for use in every spec

[open marlin]

i made the grouping for maelstrom bar a little easier to move so it can be put essentially anywhere

[wet steppe]

or just a couple at the moment

[open marlin]

the ui as a whole is generalized, it's more things like this that im making on a per class basis

its more skewed towards dps/tanks as i haven't added much healer utility to it though

[wet steppe]

perfect! I don't heal anyways lmao

[open marlin]

😄

its all in-WA functions

i know extremely limited coding outside of some custom triggers and functions

there are still some prevalent issues like action bars touching protected frames when changing do skyriding

its not generally an issue but if you start casting mount and then get in combat, your action bars will bug until the next time you unmount/mount

like this

[cunning steeple]

is this ui is working on retail too ?

[quasi juniper]

It’s on retail

[sharp crag]

We may never get it 😦

[open marlin]

tried out this for testing class cd progress

but looks like some diablo stuff and i didn't end up liking it

but im back to iterating on this, using the castbar space for classes that don't cast

@lilac minnow dk runes finished i think 🙂

[lilac minnow]

Dude

Those are fantastic

Have them auto-sort by time remaining and boom

[open marlin]

thanks! i'll look into that, shouldn't be too hard with a dynamic group?

[sharp crag]

[lilac minnow]

Shouldn’t be

[open marlin]

only problem looks like you can't but non dynamic groups into a dynamic group

[bright apex]

I am sure this has been asked but how hard would it be to port this over to SoD?

[open marlin]

depends, iirc the textures aren't in the sod/classic client so you would need to import them

other than that not any harder than porting from client to client

[bright apex]

Might give it a try! I love the single centrally located player unit frame.

[open marlin]

great to hear! not many of them around even though it looks great!

[sharp crag]

[open marlin]

target frame getting the player frame treatment

the script to hide action bars keep repositioning my bars though hehe

[open marlin]

how tf does normal runes behave? default ones

they empty right to left, but come off cd left to right or something

[lilac minnow]

I haven't used the defaults in years...

[open marlin]

isn't that what you meant by descending order?

or that they sort by time left

[lilac minnow]

The WA packs I use do that, sort by time remaining

[open marlin]

hmm could you link it?

[lilac minnow]

https://www.luxthos.com/death-knight-weakauras-for-world-of-warcraft-the-war-within/

[open marlin]

i'll have a look, probably a lot of custom code if its luxthos hehe

yeah his mimicks default behavior

[open marlin]

redoing most of the ui and using default assets to remove addons needed and automate the process

playerframe is moved behind the player WA, playerportrait is resized independently of the target frame with scripts, and then moved in location with more scripts

default action bars with dynamic texturing etc

using rested+name+ level text from default playerframe

[paper silo]

what is the thing that causes the actions on the actionbars to glow/shake?

[open marlin]

WA icons

layered over the Actionbars

[arctic scaffold]

@open marlin Does this work for Classic?

[sharp crag]

He has disappeared on us

[open marlin]

not sure, some parts definitely not, you'll have to try it

[open marlin]

not yet hehe

[open marlin]

@sharp crag

don't mind the misalignment, its from my work laptop so its going to be a little different but i've remade the action button effects, still testing around with them, castbars have interruption animation now, details skin and more

also been busy getting the new elite sets hehe

went back to bt4 as default bars wasn't doing it, replacing the unitframes with default and scripts also didn't work out

but i've since removed the SUF dependency and it gets interactability through hidden default frames

[sharp crag]

🥺

[open marlin]

@lilac minnow

[tough fractal]

Please refrain from mentioning the user directly.

[open marlin]

took a while and some animations arent triggered correctly but getting there

and spec colors

basically anything that has an animation can't be anchored the same way that the things that need to move => duration

it was a lot more headache than i thought lol

[lilac minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-and-take-my-money-futurama-fry-take-my-money-money-gif-15195954

[open marlin]

finally done i think

this took wayyyyy too long

nvm still some alignment issues hehe

[lilac minnow]

The animation alone is worth the cost of entry. It's so great and matches the whole "I'M A DK EVERYTHING COME AND FIGHT ME!!!"

[lilac minnow]

The sorting here is perfect

[open marlin]

good good, i tried to invert but i would have to move a bunch of stuff again

and some coloring haha

[lilac minnow]

Dude, when you get done with this, hang it in wago and post in Acherus....folks will flock to this one

[open marlin]

i'll look into it- acherus is the dk discord right?

[lilac minnow]

Aye

[open marlin]

how do you feel about class specific power bars

[lilac minnow]

Basically every day there is someone asking for very specific parts of whole packages, often a rune bar

[open marlin]

like where it makes sense

let me see if i can show you what i mean

[lilac minnow]

Sure

[open marlin]

i had some stuff made

[lilac minnow]

Color me intrigued

[open marlin]

its nothing huge, just my idea of how different spec resources would look

or not really how they would look even but color schemes that fit with how the spec plays etc

something like this, thinking more plague-shadowy

not sure i would apply this to anything other than player frame though as it could be a little disorienting keeping track of

and we have class colors for that

more of a color test really haha

i do like me some class themes

[fresh lake]

Needs model effects for power imo

[open marlin]

i had one for fury, but i dont really like the idea of attaching models to the foreground

but custom code for attaching to progress/spark etc i've had little success with finding

[lilac minnow]

I think it looks great and adds some additional flavor. But man, managing all this...bless your heart

[fresh lake]

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-my-blessing-blessing-granted-acknowledged-go-ahead-gif-15789458

It does look INSANE

[open marlin]

this is what i had going for fury

but yeah its alot lol, i'm having fun though

and i want to do something more in line with default but improved next

to hidden resource display is also very cool, wish it would move on x-axis though

i gues it does with action camera

[lilac minnow]

I do like this, personally. You have a couple other videos where your class resources were nested near your actionbars. This is really great.

Sheer curiosity, with these animations, are you seeing a performance impact?

[open marlin]

not noticeably, im currently on my work laptop though and had like 3 different versions loaded which does throttle my cpu

but were talking 1500+ auras with many animations haha

my desktop is 5800x3d, never dip below 165fps in any enviroment i play the game

the WA group in itself is around 630~ auras atm, but with ALOT of fluff/temp/trash, but its pretty optimized

the "heaviest" weakaura i have is my debuff clones since it updates info pretty much every frame, but even that is quite low

[lilac minnow]

That's promising

I did my first raid the other day and forgot I had everything maxed...getting barely 20fps

[open marlin]

haha wopsie

but honestly, mileage may vary, im developing it to my standards, so if a person has better specs than me they will have even less issues

• there are probably even more things i can do to optimize and consolidate through cloning and custom code, but im not that experienced yet

[lilac minnow]

Well it's looking great!

[open marlin]

thanks alot!

[lilac minnow]

Those DKs are nerds for not being supa excited

But, if you're bored...scroll up in that channel and look at the mega ui

[open marlin]

the 80 action buttons one? mega indeed lol

[lilac minnow]

Hehe

[open marlin]

the way he fronted it as an absolute necessity as well

yes you need 15 mounts on your action bars

[lilac minnow]

I hate to be the person who judges someone elses work

But

He legit sized out each of the actionbars

But couldn't figure out how to make OPie work

[open marlin]

pick and choose i guess haha

changed color to be alittle more plaguey

this is what it looks like on my desktop with powerbar+runes

fct is a little big when changing spec for some reason

[lilac minnow]

This is just so friggin good

its a different discord, maybe ur not in it

[sharp crag]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[foggy bay]

Hey mate , is their any offical discord for your UI to get ?

[jagged forge]

Is this available

[quasi juniper]

#1270533084835614822 message

[open marlin]

@jagged forge like blinkii linked, but its currently outdated and by the wago link you can see that it has some performance issues due to how its setup and how the game handles model displays, idk if its going to run well atm and i'm not currently working on it as im having a break from the game

[dim adder]

Holy hell... was my first reaction after seeing this UI. Amazing work.

[open marlin]

im back to playing the game and reiterating on this ui with elvUI as a base, i plan to eventually release this current ui as is but cleaned up but its not a priority atm, remaking it with elvui as a base is

[dim adder]

awesome news!

[jagged forge]

I can't wait... I need this for my warrior for SEASON2! Great work and Welcome Back!

[open marlin]

not related to the ui but something fun i made inspired from league!

[boreal plume]

very smooth. i like that

[open marlin]

glad you like it, unfortunately its only weakaura, i need to attain the knowledge to code this into an addon

[fleet tusk]

How can we get this ui profile 😍😍

[open marlin]

unfortunately there isn't much to get atm, its kind of outdated and built on a lot of weakauras of which their functions have changed since, but i plan on updating it eventually

[open marlin]

some preliminary work has resumed on this for anyone interested 👀

changes to expect:

1. pruning!!! lots of pruning (the orignal WA was around 700 auras lol, in this first round of pruning were down to 500 with a lot more consolidation to be done, i expect the final aura amount to be somewhere around 300-350*
2. Models: use of models will be heavily reduced as they have a big impact on performance if many are loaded (some are still fine and worth for the aesthetic)
3. BetterBlizzFrames (even though its a big addon on its own) will be used as a base template as i really like a lot of the features that comes with it, mainly !!Buff, Debuff Filtering for player, target and focus, no more 10 auras and 6 rows cluttering half your screen, half of it is piss you don't need to see anyway
4. i play pvp, pvp requires OmniAuras, OmniAuras work best on default frames, so we hide the default frames and unregister their events, but keep the portrait so that we can fully utilize OmniAuras for the target and focus portraits, i even made a half assed addon so you can move it around yourself 🙂
5. castbars might or might not stay, the default castbar has over 20 animations/textures built into it with different things showing based on show states, cast, channel, interrupt, stopcasting, glow, background to name a few.
   i will either try to flesh out the ones that already exist or try to edit the ones provided by BetterBlizzFrames (Default looking ones)

NOTE!!: this is currently a side project that has second priority to my other ui im currently working on, just wanted to give a little update

ps. do we like drop shaped portraits for this ui as well? let me know

[rapid swift]

I’m a fan of the portrait’s myself, you’re really cooking over there with these two UI profiles. Really like the health bar on this one.

[open marlin]

its a bit incomplete and broken in this image, scrolling further up is more representative of how its looking when not in destroyed tinkering mode, and thank you!

@open marlin any chance you can share this weak aura?? really like what youve done

[open marlin]

https://wago.io/p/Rudidudi

you can grab it here, but its an old version so if you arent familiar with weakaura i wouldn't really bother, im working on a new version though but its not on the top of the list atm

[prime ferry]

Thank you very much!

[open marlin]

Have fun 🙂 there's a lot to tinker with for sure lol

[prime ferry]

@open marlin do uno which pack has the name plate text and bar saying like "stunned"?

[open marlin]

I haven't uploaded it, I don't think I kept it either, I'll have a look when i get back home

[open marlin]

i didnt have it anymore but i'll recreate it real quick

[open marlin]

in pvp i use pvp names, so my arena 1,2,3 is on the side
i made ita little better so its all contained in 1 WA and the bars doesnt overlap if more cc is present

[open marlin]

https://wago.io/8poNa19gR
