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.

wrong, since 1 year, tukui is self-coded and use no memory at all. A little bit more than ncUI because I added a tons of options for the Tukui community. Each time i add a feature, it increase a bit memory usage. Actually it use approx 750kb. It was the case for Tukui V1 to V5 (at beginning of WOTLK expansion) using a lot of addon but since V5 it's totally hardcoded and a single addon. NC joined me to introduce a new pixel core at the beginning of 2010 because it was annoying that we could not change uiscale on the old pixel perfect core script and also helped me with some feature request by users like, example, the keybinding script at the end of 2009. He's now admin and a full collaborator of Tukui project.

Tukui relys on any addons, and that way, update are really faster than a "normal" UI compilation that relys on many addons to work. Proof, Tukui is already updated and functionnal for new patch 3.3.5 incoming. (http://www.tukui.org/v2/forums/topic.php?id=254)

that's it.

Not entirely true.

It all once started when I was making my own UI from scratch and loved TukUI. I started copying small chunks of code from TukUI and made my own interface with that. Then I started adapting, adapting and adapting and after a few months almost every line of code was written or reviewed by me. Then I made a complete new core for this UI that made everything pixelperfect for every resolution. Then I offered Tukz if he wanted to use my code, and he was OK with it, so a lot of code was put back in his UI.

Long story short:
My code, his design.

I do not know if this is intentional, but could someone either please explain what it is used for OR this might be a bug on which you could work for dear Nightcracker .

Thats a bug from the buffs, i renamed buffs.lua in ncUI/scripts to abuffs.lua so the addon wont recognise it since im way too lazy to check the codes and stuff. With this however you will get the blizzard-like buffs....no bugs due to the renaming appeared as far as i saw.

Taint issue caused Action bar do not work when enter/exit Vehicle in Combat

I love ncUI and use it when leveling up my Pal, but I often meet some problems when enter/exit Vehichle for some quest. Sometimes the action bar will only keep few buttons with other button disapeared and all buttons do not work by pressing key or mouse clicking.

After searching same issue in google I found it should relate with taint issue. So I disabled other AddOn except ncUI and set taintLog as 1 in console, when the issue happen again I got these logs:

Code:

Great work on the coding, though! Congratulations on making a WHOLE UI from scratch. Any ETA on the char panels/etc?

Three little quirks in the Suite :

I am truly sorry if this issue has already been addressed:
At one point, on my rogue, a little black box (similar to a single action bar button) appeared in the middle of the screen and stayed there, couldn't click on it or do anything with it... I do not know if this is intentional, but could someone either please explain what it is used for OR this might be a bug on which you could work for dear Nightcracker .

Also, one little bug that bugged me (pun intended) is that the number of combo points appeared under your target's target frame. If there was a way to easily modify the positions of the target frames... Or even the combo points frame... It'd be cool

I found that when you added another line of buttons to the bottom action bar, the top right part of the bar was actually also part of the push-to-see action bar... IE if I changed some slots in the permanent action bar it also changed the right side buttons of the push-to-see action bar......
I don't know if that is due to me playing on my druid or anything like that (because druids use helluva lot of bars for stances and stuff like that) but it was kind of bothersome... But in the end I just ignored the buttons in the push-to-see bar...





Also, thank you very much for this light suite completely changing the UI into something a lot slicker.

A future change that would be highly appreciated for people wanting to customize things a little more (but that do not have the required programming skills) would be to add descriptions of important lines in the .lua's as in the config.lua... IE : arrange the x/y positions/scale of some images; the positions of target frames.

Your work is appreciated, thank you!
