ncUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1a
by: nightcracker [More]


ncUI is an extreme light-weight user interface with a nice minimalistic look. This UI has less than 350 kB memory usage! I'm in love with this UI, and I hope you will fall in love with it too. Almost all config(which is currently nearly none) is found in the .lua files. Open them with Notepad and start editing! Warning: if you edit the wrong parts it will break the UI.

How to install:
Rename (if existent) your "Interface" and "Fonts" folders to "Interface_backup" and "Fonts_backup". Extract the Interface and Fonts folders to the folder which contains WoW.exe(default is "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\"). On first login you will be prompted to auto-install, click yes and ur done!

Usage:
Once installed, when you enter the game the UI will auto-configure. Then your ready to begin!
The navigation in ncUI is a little bit different than in the default UI. To bind use /hb and you can bind your actionbars, spells in the spellbook and macros.
Rightclick on the minimap is for tracking.
To get 25 extra actionbutton, open the default keybindings frame(Escape > Bindings), scroll all the way down and bind something to "Extra Buttons". If you now press and HOLD the keybinding, 25 extra buttons will become visible under your mouse.

Config is in the lua file "config.lua" found in the ncUI addon folder. The settings are well commented and easy to edit.

Upcoming features/todo list:
- Gametooltip quest info
- Clock and guild to ncDatatext
- My own unitframes
- Rewrite of CoolLine to ncCooldownline
- Totem bar
Suggest features! My todo list that constantly updates can be found here.

I love the UI, my comp runs really smoothly with it, but I want to make the fonts bigger on my unit frames so i can see my health and mana and stuff. How can I do this? I edited my .lua file for a few things but can't find an option to make fonts bigger.

Update with version 1.8:
By request I scaled up the font of the UF and made it more readable and I've fixed the extrabuttons script. Thanks for your feedback!

@Statius: Yes, bind something to "Extra Buttons" found in the bottom of Escape Menu > Keybindings
@Drekonus: It supports every single resolution bigger than 800x600.
@Icecx: Should be fixed in this version.
@giakaama: Should be fixed in this version.

1.8 does not have any update regarding this. Do you have any other addons running? Make sure you delete older version of ncUI before updating!

To get 25 extra actionbutton, open the default keybindings frame(Escape > Bindings), scroll all the way down and bind something to "Extra Buttons". If you now press and HOLD the keybinding, 25 extra buttons will become visible under your mouse. Make sure you are dragging a spell if no spells are on the extra buttons yet, because it is not affected by "Always show actionbars".

Ok, then it's really bugged, I can't check it out right now because I'm at my dad's house on a computer without WoW installed, but as soon as I can I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: I think I've found the problem:

So you basicly want more actionbars? Since it's requested so much I'll think about it. The problem is, druids use so much of their actionbutton id's I don't I can add another bar without having to create virtual buttons. I'll do some research and post here when done. BTW, I don't get what you mean with "Nightcracker so U don't bother with the hidden buttons and with the unitframe font".

EDIT:
Did some research, and it's possible!
Code:
Default Blizzard IDs:
1-12 Main Bar (Unused by Warriors)
13-24 Second Bar
25-36 Side Bar 1
37-48 Side Bar 2
49-60 Bottom Right Bar
61-72 Bottom Left Bar
73-84 Warrior Battle, Druid Cat, Rogue Stealth, Priest Shadowform
85-96 Warrior Defensive, Druid Tree
97-108 Warrior Berserker, Druid Bear
109-120 Druid Moonkin
121-132 Possess Bar (Unusable)

I was trying to help so U just don't focus on those hidden buttons, and just do something temporary like that with more actionbars, and as U said many requested more actionbars !
And with unitframe font, i've seen many said that they don't see the font on the unitframes and the thing is I don't see the mana bar, it's too small that's why i've given U a suggestion about the unitframes !

Hope U don't take it as a mean thing from my part, it was just a suggestion U can delete it if U want !

PS. Tried last version the hidden buttons still doesn't work !

The problem is, I can't help anyone ATM, I'm working on a computer without WoW installed on it. If I just had a CPU with WoW on it I had everything fixed within 2 seconds... I'm sorry

And I'm currently uploading the last update for today, this is my final attempt on this damned WoW-less computer to FIX THOSE DAMNED HIDDEN ACTIONBUTTONS, RAWHR!
