NioUI

Version: 2.38
by: dickloraine [More]

Resolution: 1680x1050 (1920x1080)

This UI is made to fit to the beautiful MiirGui textures and trys to be very lightweight.

Here is a small video, that shows the UI in action.

nioUI replaces many of the default interface elements, like actionbars, map, minimap, questwatch, unitframes etc. It covers nearly anything I consider basic functions of an UI. There are two exceptions: First, you would want to install a Bossmod in addition to this UI. Second: If you are like me, you want to have some other Addon, that tracks and shows your cooldowns, debuffs, buffs etc. which are essential to your rotation somewhere in the middle of the screen. The thing with this is, that each class needs other things and each player prefers other ways of presenting this informations. Fortunatly there are many addons out there, which cover this needs. One you will find in the optional addons pack, that comes with this UI (weak auras).

Update
2.38
  • Updated oUF
  • Fixed special Debuffs recognition
  • Hide unitframes in pet battles
  • Hide panels in pet battles. This is an option and can be turned of. Changed nioUiConfig in line 370 for the option
  • Lootframes are now in a new position

Installation
  1. Backup your Addon and WTF Folder
  2. Optional but recommended: Download and install the MiirGui Texture-Pack and the MiirGui Icons (also available in grey: Grey Textures, Grey Icons).
  3. Copy the folders inside this zip to your Addon folder
  4. Optional: Copy any addons from the optional addon pack in your addon folder
  5. Enter wow
  6. Just click the "Okay" button.
  7. Done!

Configuration
If you want to use the grey theme, go into the ingame-options and check the button.
You can change many settings ingame in the blizzard options panel. To change things not covered there (or you want to repostion frames), look at "NioUi Config.lua" in the nioUI folder.
To change the indicators or the blacklist/whitelist, just modify "nioauras.lua" in the nioUI/Unitframes/oUF_NioDrk folder.
If you want to see other data brokers in the broker display, look into "Broker config.lua" in the nioUI folder.

Usage
Just some quick tips for the not so obvious little features:
  • You can right-click the Minimap for the Tracking-Menu. Middle-clickin opens the calender
  • You can make a mount macro: Just make a macro and enter "/niomount" in it. Drag it on an actionbar. Right-clicking it, will open a menu. You set your flying mount by clicking on the mount and your ground mount by shift-clicking.
  • You will find some tweaks in the ingame-options, like auto-selling grey items, auto-repair (with or without guildfunds), enter your TS/Ventrilo/Mumble Infos and post them vie the option in the raid-broker and some more little things.

FINALLY HOME!!!

Guess what! I didn't have to touch the panels AT ALL after all! D Am THRILLED! Am currently in the process or resizing the action bars. That's IT! Awesome!

Need to take a quick break now. Will continue later as I want to switch the quest objective frame's position with the hidden left action bar. Will look at that in a bit.

Awesome job so far!

Thanks again!

edit: so many huge grins LOL but I am really thrilled I'm going to be able to use this heheh.

omg thank you love it. but its giving an error

The new update should fix this and some other errors. Haven't played much in the last weeks, so I tested the UI only in town on the beta. Was raiding this evening and fixed a few errors, so hopefully nothing game breaking is left. Some things still are to be done however, but I don't know, how much time I will have to do these things. But that would be minor things, as moving the new lootframes etc.

Please keep reporting any bugs, so that I can fix them

You're *really* making me want to go home right. now.

Thanks again for info. I had seen I could change the unit frames last night but I was really so disappointed as I thought I couldn't make the rest work for me that I kinda just gave up without looking into it in any depth. Tonight, however, with everything on the live server, I plan to do an exhaustive overhaul of, well, everything. It's a big step for me. I've used the same UI and addons for years now. Lua editing is new (and an exciting challenge). As a healer, raid frames are my biggest thing. Will see how everything works out. Will let you know and help out as much as I can.

WTB home time so I can start fiddling about with the UI :ACK!! 5 hours to go! (oh and pray live servers are up by then too...)

Moving the Unitframes is very easy. Just go into the ingame menu and there on the unitframe section. There is a button called "Move frames". Just click it and you will be able to move and resize the unitframes freely. Of course it is also possible to do this in the config.

Within "NioUi Config.lua" you will be able adjust nearly all aspects of the ui, without much knowledge about lua. There are just all options, positions and sizes for all the elements in one place

Thanks for the tip! I was so disappointed at the thought of not being able to adjust it - as I basically only need to move the side panels a bit and want to lower the player portrait and target portraits down a bit so the centre of the screen is uncluttered (I have a bad habit of clicking the middle of the screen when I try to turn the camera mid-fight and I often end up clicking something I don't want to, LOL). The rest is pretty much ok.

I will DEFINITELY set to work tweaking it as soon as I get home from work tonight. You've made this a very happy priest! My hubby also loved the UI and now that we know how to tweak it for both our resolutions, you've just made yourself 2 new fans. Definitely made my day. Thanks and will send you feedback as soon as I can.

Gosh, is it home time yet?? Work-on-major-patch-day FTL!

Keep up the good work
Thanks for the compliment
It shouldn't be that difficult to adjust it to your resolution. You do not need any lua-skills to do it. Just open "nioUI Config.lua" in a text editor (Notepad++ is a very good one. Set the language in it to lua and the file will be much more readable). At the top of that file you will find all positions and relevant sizes in one neat place. Everything there should be very self-explanatory. The easiest way to make this changes, is to open the file and wow. Enter your values, save the file and just reload the ui. This way you see your changes immediately (P.S.: You can reload the ui by shift-clicking on the Bugsack-LDB).

If you do this, you could post or send me your changes and I will implement them, so that you don't need to change this file every time you update, and maybe there are others like you, who will profit from it too

Yes, this is possible. You have two options: You could disable my actionbars and install another addon, for example bartender. Or you could change some settings in "nioUI Config.lua". Beginning with line 182 you will find the settings for the actionbars. I would advise, that you just use actionbar 5 for your 3. bar in the middle. Just change "b5rows" to 1 and "b5mo" from true to false. Now scroll up until line 28. Now it is only some testing to find the correct placement. If you want to have background panel for it too, look at line 123 downwards, to get an idea how to set things up.

There are many addons out there, that do this. http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/markassistant for example would even be skinned by my ui and has a toggle in the Raid-LDB, if it is installed. To skin it, you may have to reinstall the ui (easily done through the ingame options).

Edit: Also, the resetting bug is fixed. But the double lines for what someone is targeting still show up in the tooltip.
Fine About the double lines: Are you sure, they are the same? There are two lines, but one is for who the unit is targeting and the other one shows by whom the unit is targeted.
Yeah... I just tested it by targeting someone, and it doesn't show who is targeting them in the tooltip. Both of the lines say who that unit has as a target.
