KaitUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.1.1
by: Kaitain1977 [More]

The only resolution that is supported is 1920x1080. Most other resolutions should still work, but I can't guarantee it. You may have to adjust the layout a bit yourself.

As WeakAuras is part of the UI upload, back up / export your own WAs before installing.

KaitUI is beer-powered. If it runs out of beer, it stops working.

Cheers!



Step 1

Backup your current UI. Do this by opening your WoW folder and moving the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder to a safe place elsewhere on your hard drive. If things go wrong later, put these folders back into your WoW folder and all will be as it was.

Step 2

Unzip the download and move the Fonts, Interface and WTF folder into your WoW folder

Step 3

Inside the WTF folder you will find folders that are name WTF > Account > ACCOUNTNAME > SavedVariables. Rename the folder called ACCOUNTNAME to be whatever your account name is. If you are unsure what to name it, check the folders that you backed up in Step 1.

Step 3.5

Go to https://www.tukui.org/download.php?ui=elvui and download ElvUI. Once you've unzipped the download, put the two folders into your Interface>Addons folder.

Step 4

Start WoW. On the character selection screen, click the Addons button in the bottom left, then in the top right of the panel that pops up

Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.

Make sure ALL addons in the list are enabled

Step 5

Once you are in the game, ElvUI will be propting you with instalation stuff.

Click SKIP PROCESS

Step 6

Once Elv has reloadui your UI, you might need to use the Raid Frame Menu (second from right of the footer buttons) to change raid frames to one of the presets

Also -
I just found a small issue with the buffs - If when targeting yourself the buff and debuffs top left and top right aren't symmetrical, go to ElvUI (/elvui) > Buffs & Debuffs, and disable. It will ask you to reloadui.


When using KaitUI, you can safely update these addons:

ElvUI
Raven
WeakAuras2
Plexus
DynamicCam
MoveAnything


+ any others that you add yourself

But do NOT try to update these:

kgPanels
Plexus Layouts
SharedMedia
KaitMedia



NOTES

- Open WeakAuras with /wa for now (not the menu).
Opening WeakAuras config with the menu first causes it to appear with items missing from the aura list. Collapse/uncollapse something in the list and it will immediately fix it. After the config has been opening once it should be fine all subsequent times.

- there are some hidden bars (including bar1) to the right of the main action bar. These are bars for keybinds. The main visible bar is for showing cooldowns. The assumption is that you know what your keybinds are.

- the pet bar and class power bars kind of ruin the elegance of the player frame area. I personally will be using weakauras to show them in a more contextual way, but I thought I'd leave the Elv versions visible as default in case anyone got confused.

- The 3D model of you character on the Spec/Talents screen is positioned as if your character is a female night elf. For some other races, specifically small races, your player model might be way off. I'll make a tutorial on how to fix that soon, but basically you have to exlude your race from loading on the main KaitUI Talents > Player aura, duplicate it and make the new aura only load for your race, then adjust the XYZ display values. Don't use the slider's though, edit the texts, because you have to do it blind. When in WA config, it's not showing you the model right.


Suggested additional addons:

Opie is a wonderfully elegant solution for using things like potions, crafting, etc. I notice a lot of games bind icon wheel interfaces to the C key (like Overwatch), so if you do that with OPie it feels very natural.

Clique Do more with your mouse when healing. Not really necessary if you never heal.

2.1.1 Removed ElvUI files (needs to be downloaded from ElvUI site, because ElvUI).

2.1 Updated for Shadowlands

1.2 - Added a new action Bar below the main bar (this was often requested). Changed the layout so that quest tracking is not back on the right, DPSer raid frames on the left. This was so I could remove the code making the minimap hiding and raid frames interact. My code was buggy and crap, and now it's gone. Hurray! UIscaler addon removed because it seemed to not be working anymore.

1.1 - Updated for patch 6.1. Some addons updated, some TOCs updated, some WeakAuras changes and updates

1.0.2 - Changed scripts in KaitMedia addon and in kgPanels that relate to Grid so that (hopefully) nothing freaks out too badly if you don't have Grid installed (i.e. if you want to use a different raid addon). The popup panels for changing Grid profiles won't do anything for you without Grid, but at least they aren't going to cause errors. Uou need Grid enabled to run /kaitinstall. Install the profiles then switch your raid addon afterwards.


1.0.1 - Updated KaitMedia script to fix a non-English client bug. Updated some kgPanels scripts to fix a non-English client bug. Added Clampy's focus bar WeakAura for hunters. Stopped Party Frames (P) button from causing error when not in a group.

1.0 - Updated some kgPanels scripts. Added some new WeakAuras bars for moonkin and demon warlock. Added some graphics to the KaitMedia folders. Changed the KaitInstaller script. Removed Opie, Bindpad and Dominos, and added Bartender4.

0.7.1 - Updated some kgPanels scripts to cause less lua errors

One last thing though. I'm playing warlock, so your WeakAuras is not really useful for me (But they are really cool made). Therefor I want to remake them so they work better with warlock but I haven't done anything like this before. I'm starting to get a little understanding how it works, but is there any guides you can recommend?

Like, how to set it up and how to find the right visuals?

Again, thank you for taking the time to make this masterpiece and answering our questions
What spec of warlock do you play? I might have a go at making a set of Auras for it this weekend. The power bar sections (the bit that is the focus bar for my hunter) are the complicated bits. The timer bars below are pretty simple to do (i.e. you can just copy the Hunter bars and change the spell names).

Weakauras can be a little offsetting at first, plenty of help can be found on sites like mmo-champ ect ect, if you get overwhelmed with it a simple google search for warlock strings you can import into weakauras, from there it is easier to edit someone elses strings to suit your own needs, it's basically how I learned to create my own

hmm. It looks like the kgPanels stuff has half loaded then stopped. It normally does that when it hits a bad script half way through, but I don't think there are any (that are critically bad) because it loads for me and it seems like for most other people too. Do you have version 0.7.1? do you have ALL the addons in the list enabled? If so, maybe just try reinstalling from the start?
Thanks for the reply. All Addons are enabled, tried several times reinstalling, nothing... seems that i have to use an other UI
Make sure the profiles are loaded for both addons, /kgpanels config it's either KaitUI or default, not on my rig so not 100% for dominos /dom copy KaitUI I believe, if I am wrong just type /dom and it will list usable commands, you basically want to copy and use the KaitUI profile.

I have one request though, which I hope might not be too difficult finding a fix for; The micro menu.
It's f****** fancy, but I fear that in some cases I might mouseover it by a mistake and suddenly it's in the way while doing arena or raid.

Is there any way to make it only popup if you click it? Or only when you're not in combat? Or maybe even a combination of these two?

Kind regards,
Bearshaker.
Thanks. Yes there is a script you can switch around to make it activate on click.

type
/kgpanels config

click the little + to expand the Active Panels section on the right.

click the + to expand the options for the panel called Mincromenu

Click the + the expand the Scripts bit

in OnEnter there is script like this:


Code:
kgPanels:FetchFrame("Micromenu popup"):Show()

if WorldMapFrame:IsShown() then QuestLogMicroButton:Click(); end
delete that and click Accept.
below that in the section called OnClick, copy and paste in this code:

Code:
if released then

kgPanels:FetchFrame("Micromenu popup"):Show()

if WorldMapFrame:IsShown() then QuestLogMicroButton:Click(); end

end
and then click Accept.

You'll still need to move your mouse away from it to close it.
I hope that's not too complicated.
GL :-)

@Cupcakez2309 I'm sorry to hear that. It's sort of impossible for me to troubleshoot what the problem could be without getting in front of your computer, but I'm sorry to have wasted your time anyways :-(

OK cool, thanks for letting me know. I think if you have disabled any of the addons that KaitInstaller is trying to set profiles for the script won't work (also if you have KaitInstaller disabled).

I'll look up how to add lines to the script so it only tries to load the profile if the addon is loaded.
Just to add, the only addons I removed were GladiatorlosSA, Bindpad and Opie as I don't pvp and my binds are fairly simple for pve stuffs I looked at the lua for your installer and would seem neither are affected when profiles are added. I have one question though, the P on the main bar does nothing when clicked, can't for the life of me figure out what it's supposed to do
Ah ok, thanks for the info anyways.

The P button hides and shows party frames. I put it in for the benefit of healers in 5 man groups who have the group in Grid frames, and I couldn't figure out a robust way to have it happen automatically.
