Lore,
I installed Skinner to play around with it, but I seem to have messed something up. I have it how I want it in every way, other than I lost the gradiant look that the bottem viewpoint had. Any idea how to get it back?
The gradient look is actually done through another option. I don't remember what it's called off the top of my head -- I think it's just "panel" or something. You set it up similar to the viewport and just put it over top of the black viewport areas.

Lore, do you mind just upload the ui you have one right now? You don't need to update it all the time just as long as the ui setup is similar

Hi,
I was wondering if you can tell me how you got the two black bars on the top and bottom of your UI screenshot, as well which addon allowed you to show your gold and such on the bottom?
thanks

The mod that shows the gold and other info is Fubar, with different modules added in. It also adds the bars on top and bottom. However, the big black bar on the bottom (behind his action bars) is Skinner.

This is specific to Lore's Mods, I'm a rogue and I really like the mods you have, well minus the pally stuffs, lol. Anyways i don't have all your mods, but a majority of them...and I am curious which of the mods controls the casting bar...is it pitbull, bartender, icehud, like i said I have all the same mods except for the few....and it just drives me nuts my casting bar is right on top of my buttons....do i need to get another mod for that or is it governed by one of the top mentioned mods you have?

He's using Quartz in the screenshot in the first post. It will let you move all your cast bars wherever you need them.

thanks i figured it out after i posted that, appreciate the quick replay tho.
I do have some questions....with classtimers.....when i has target selected it wont show it when i am trying to configure it, that seems to be my only hangup now...maybe it's a glitch or something....i have reloaded the ui and it still doesnt show up....just annoying having the bars pop up right in the center of the screen when i am fighting a boss. Any ideas?

hi i was wondering how you got Classtimer to show Darkmoon Card: greatness, Beserking and stuff like that.
Open classtimers and there is an option to add custom buffs, go hit a target dummy until the card procs, get the exact name of the buff, and put it into classtimer.

On the Tidy Plates Addon. I have it all working right, but on bosses I can't get the gold dragon logo on the right side of the plate to appear. Anyone know how this is done? It seems to be checked in the options, but doesn't show up. It's just a normal plate displaying health and percentage.
Thank you!

A tank buddy of mine told me that Lore uses (or used to) an addon that makes reviewing the combat log after a fight much easier, like it summarizes combat log info into something you can review at a glance to know what happened in the fight. It's something other than Recount. Anyone know what that might be? Didn't see anything like it listed in his addon list.

Your UI, Lore, is by far the best out of the video reviews. Why not let us sweet talk you into updating the download?

01-12-2010, 05:02 PM
Indeed, I wouldnt go as far as asking for a release each time you update.
But once per exp? Per 3.x (3.1,3.2) or once a year?
You have indeed one of the best(or most adapted to my needs) UIs out there.
Would be worth it to be recognized for the work you've spent on that baby :D
How do you get the bottom of the screen to be black? I've downloaded all the addons but I can't figure it out.

If someone is willing to host it (whole addon pack) it is very simple to keep up to date, Curse Client V4 now allows a user to pack all their addons into a simple zip file and send it to email addresses, obviously this would be really slow but surely if one of us emails it to an FTP server just after each patch (giving addon authors enough time to update their work) then the whole "Lore UI" fan club would benefit from this.
I personally have been using this function for my Guild Members for a little while now and it is definately the best way for a mass market (coupled with some beer and ventrilo chats to help fine tune).

Hi.
I downloaded all the addons for your UI, and ive set it up as much as i could. Some things, however, just refuse to work for me. Maybe someone can help me?
for my pitbull unit portrait, i set it to show my name and class, but it never does. When they finally do show up, and i relog, then they dissappeared again, BUT my pitbull settings are exactly as they were.
Staying with pitbull, how can i config it so that it shows total health/mana on the right, and percentage on the left? i cant for the life of me figure out.
How do i congif pitbull to display the enemies bars and portrait as in Lores screenshot?
And lastly, i have that black box at the bottom of my screen, but its transparent. how do i get it to become totally black?

I mostly just need to know, which add-on is it that lets you zoom out so much. I have search many add-on that display this feature, but nevers says the name of it.
In your ICC 10 V.Dreamwalker movie, the Mod showing what's ready in your rotation/priority. Looks like something I'd like to try.
Based on my research this appears to be the Retribution FCFS helper (clcret) mod.

I have been trying to find out what the addon you currently use to highlight when specific debuffs are up on the boss, ie. sunder armor, faerie fire, imp shad bolt/scorch etc. I see it at the top of your screen on your Valrithia dreamwalker 10 man video, and probably many of the others. I would like this for my own UI so that i can better watch the debuffs on boss as a raid leader. Thank-you for your time.
edit: the addon is Utopia for anyone that was wondering as well

Hey Lore, I used your UI before I quit, but when I did I lost all my files. I really liked it, was really clean and such, and after I came back, the game just isnt the same without it. I've gotten most of it back to be a bit like yours, the thing I'm having most trouble with is Pitbull. Was wondering if you could please post your options for Pitbull, or just post your whole Pitbull addon folder. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance =)

Hey Lore my boyfriend has been trying to get your ui and for some reason skinner isnt working once downloaded he followed the directions (Copy/Move all the files in the AddonSkins directory into the SkinMe directory) then he starts WoW and all he gets is Errors. We tried to not put them in the skin me but its the same thin errors (different kinds tho). Everything to explain how to use it assumes its working and doesn't help us. If you or anyone else can help with this it would be great! (btw no minimap button for it in case people ask)

If you have Windows Vista (maybe 7, dunno) you need to right click WoW and hit "run as administrator" in order to get your addon stuff to stay the same after you log off
Make sure you are using the right layout for the bars you want to alter. PB takes your settings that you make per profile and then applies them to the bar of your choice (located on a different tab in the config menu). Hope this helps some...
Hi Lore,
I downloaded your UI a long while back, and have since stopped using it, instead creating my own.
However, I remember a totem mod that you had that I really loved while playing my shaman. I've forgotten what it's called and can't seem to find it. If you could enlighten me I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hey Lore,
I was wondering if you could tell me how you setup your pitbull player and target frames so that the health/power text is anchored on the left side and the percentages on the right. I managed to get them in the position I want, but I can only seem to anchor one side or the other causing the opposite text to move out of the frame or towards the middle as the numbers increase/decrease.
Thanks in advance
*Edit* Nevermind, figured it out.
Can you please tell me how you did that? Having trouble with that problem.

Hey, I remember a long time ago there was a mod on either Ciderhelm's or your UI (I believe) at the top middle of the screen that monitored debuffs on targets.
It was just a black bar with little icons of all the different debuffs available with your current composition.
I'm a raid leader and would like to have this to know if people need to refresh their debuffs.
Is this mod still working, and if so what is the name?

I think it is from recount hit the Cog on your recount and then go to window and global realtime windows hit the dps button it should bring up the graph

Whats the Black bar on the bottom called?
Updated the original post with the following:
This post is exceptionally out of date. In fact it's kind of impressive how out of date it is. I'll be updating it at some point, but I have been meaning to rework my UI as it's started to become somewhat cluttered. Once that's taken care of expect a full, indepth update.
In the meanwhile, many users have identified some of the newer addons I'm using that are not mentioned here. The most notable differences are:
- I am no longer using IceHUD (it was just extra clutter, so I dropped it)
- I am no longer using ClassTimer; instead I have various Power Auras setups for the most important buffs/debuffs I need to watch
- I have switched to Satrina Buff Frames from Elk Buff Bars, because Satrina is a beautiful man
- I have switched to Skada Damage Meter from Recount, and I'm using Acheron to parse death logs
- I am using RaidWatch 2 instead of Deadly Boss Mods
There are some other, minor changes, but those are the notable ones.

IIRC, the portrait is actually a "bar" that you enable once you've enabled the plugin. that's how it is in SUF, and i recall SUF and Pitbull being very similar.

Hi all,
Can Lore or some body that knows what the addon is please let me know what it is called. It sits top middle, 6 coloured boxes that put down Raid markers. Very clean and does not take up much UI realestate.
Thanks in advance.

targetcharms i believe
and that bossframe looks more like SuF then Pitbull imo tho could be wrong ofc

Thanks a lot for the update Lore. I've been admirering your UI for years now watching the videos on youtube.
One question though. Is it possible to set up the Buffs/Debuffs to show for my offtank? I always keep him on focus and would love to have a nice big debuff icon for him aswell.

I am using your UI, but i have a question, I no longer see the BOSS health bars on the side of the screen, (ie the 3 Stone Dogs) I use these for easy switching between targets, but now it doesnt show, all iget is the shared health pool from dbm, ive looked through the settings of the addons and can not figure out which one is removing these frames, any ideas?

I could just be crazy but - Grid has a Clamp to screen option - if it was all over the place depending on group sizes its because the layout moved it off the screen and viewporter & skinner did some unusual things to my screen such as move things around in bgs... Grid(2) has such a simplistic layout but not everything is in a recognizable place nor very clear in some aspects. give peace a chance.

There is no DL link which is why there is such an extensive how to video. What are the problems you are having with skinner?

Looks nice and clean, far better than my shamble attempts. I redesigned the raid frames using pitbull to look like grid as I like to have minimal raid/party frames to see who's not dead and if healers have enough mp before the next pull. Means I can also target them and give them HoP if they're being a bit too nuke happy.
I also prefer Bartender over Pitbull since Bartender allows you to use more than just 6 action bars and comes with its own out of range colour indicator.
Have you thought about using AutoBar for things like food and potions? It's a nice addon for organising consumables and popup menus so you can look through which foods you've got without having to take up several buttons on your main action bars.

I've been having trouble with Skinner too. It's leaving shadows of the panels' last state so you can't see what you're doing until you reload the ui. I've reported a bug to the author with a screenshot of the mess it makes. You have to kinda guess you've resized it and positioned it the way you want it and then reload the ui. Once you've got it the way you want it though (after much tweaking and reloading) the panels will work just fine. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon.
An alternative is to use SunnArt Viewport and Kgpanels to make virtually the same effect.

As a fellow Prot pally, I loved your UI Lore. I customized mine to be very similar, but I use Xperl instead. Personal preference I guess. I had been using TitanPanel, but after watching these videos and trying Chocolate I am addicted to it. It's so much more customizable than Titan was.
One issue I have been having though is one of the add-ons listed (I havent installed my old add-ons that I used prior to redesigning this UI) keeps unbinding my escape key to bring up my game menu and/or deselect targets. I can't figure out what is doing it. i modified a few keybindings with Dominoes, but I didn't touch the escape key. Usually reloading fixes it for a few minutes, but it is never a permanent fix. I also enabled the LUI errors to display, and nothing has shown a conflict before or right after my escape key becomes unbound. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem as well.

I have had this issue but it was not as persistant as yours sounds like. Usually when I notice a similar issue, it is when I am attempting to log and the game menu will not come up. I have been able to use the micro menu to open the game menu and log out and that has always fixed the issue. This is pretty rare for me, though.

I too, utilize Pitbull for my raidframes. I have found that it is more useful to me to have them only visible in certain situations, i.e. 10 frames for 10-man raids, 0 frames for solo, etc. Having too many unit frames indicating the same thing aggros my OCD.
One of the issues that I have atm, is during raid time, DBM has a lot going on, and there is too much clutter. I need to add error text removal in my macros, and use better placement, so that raid warnings dont sit on top of themselves. Which brings me to my next point. Skinner. To this point, I have been using kgpanels, which is very good for what it does, and art can be imported and used as well. Your use of Skinner has me thinking otherwise though. I like the viewport customizations, and I like the intuitive mod interface. All of which kgpanels does not provide.
Lore, you very well may have inspired me to re-do my UI with a few of your suggestions, but with Grid, I am not convinced. I am not a healer, tho, so what it offers, to me, is no better than Pitbull. Thank you for the inspiration.

Edit: My bad, wrong info.
It's likely disabled Boss Frames on the Chinchilla Minimap settings. Check the Show/Hide to see if it's been unchecked.
If you want the boss frames to be configurable in Pitbull4 then keep them hidden in Chinchilla and visit http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/tickets/957-patch-basic-boss-frames/ for instructions on how to edit Pitbull4 to include boss frames. It's a bit of a hashed attempt but it's workable, then you just set up the frames the way you want them.
