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Make sure that Load out of date AddOns is checked.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

Okay i will try this.

Another Problem is, i can not choose a reputation as experience bar. Normally when you click on a faction in the reputation tab you get a mini menu, show as experience bar etc.

This menu is not showing

EDIT: Ok the WTF folder is protected but when i disable the protection it is not going away ...
no matter what i try also dont know why this is happening with the chat maybe chatter addon?
For the permissions thing, I really have no idea. I'm on a mac, and on my end the folders all say anyone can read & write. I'm afraid I don't know much about permissions on PCs. Sorry.

For the reputation thing, I never noticed it before because it have XPBarNone set to auto watch rep (i.e. as soon as you gain rep for anyone, it switches to showing that), but yes I can't get that faction mini menu anymore either. But I disable XPBarNone and it still won't show. I'll have more of a think and let you know if I crack it. Until then, auto-watch rep is pretty useful so hopefully it isn't a critical problem for you.

YOu have to go into dominos config

/dominos
Use Blizzard Overwrite Bar uncheck
and on the right side choose which bar you want to be overwritten

but i have another problem,

everytime when i ccreate a new chat window and drag it on the right side after relog or reload it is gone :/ what can this be?

WAs should not need re-importing. Check if you definitely have read & write access on the WTF folder (and all the folders inside).
No need to be sorry, just wanted to point it out. Again, you're doing an amazing work!

And yeah, seems like it was just the WTF i had copied in that had Read-Only. Should have checked that first
try this one:

Warlock Hand of Gul'dan

Looks great!
I'm probably going to edit the fury bar a bit with some colour triggers, but I made that work out with a little test.

The Hand of Gul'dan bar is acting a bit weird tho and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this or if some of the layers are messed up :

Full stacks
One stack and one recharging
Full recharge.

Looking at the main bars children, it seems fine though, so I'm not sure what's messing it up.

Also, as someone said earlier, it does not save any edits made, so when I relogged I had to import all the VA codes again.

I might have to chance to Affliction soon though, so it's these two specs I will be focusing on.

If you manage to make it for these, I will go full supporter of this UI and will promise some incoming "beer"!
Try these that I made this morning:

Warlock Power Demo

Warlock Procs Demo

Warlock Bars Demo

Warlock Hand of Guldan

You can move kgPanels by unlocking them (option at the top of each panel's page), to drag move invisible frames you need to make them visible (most are making themselves invisible with an OnLoad script. ...But I honestly wouldn't do that if I were you. Rearranging the layout will take as much work as it took to arrange it... i.e. many many many hours.

For using Grid2 (or trying to), here is what you need to do:

/kgpanels config

Active Panels > Popup R rollover1 > Scripts > On Click.

there you will find a script like this:

Code:
local m = Minimap
local g = GridLayoutFrame

if released then
PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\KaitMedia\\sounds\\button2.mp3")
Grid.db:SetProfile("DPS 5/10man")
if m:IsShown() then g:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -11, -276)
    else g:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -11, -122)
    end
kgPanels:FetchFrame("Popup R"):Hide()
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("|cff00ccffKaitUI:|cffffffff Grid profile set to DPS 5/10/25man |cff9C9C9C(If you don't see the raid frames change then type /reloadui. Grid can't change the profile when you're in combat).")
end
this bit:

Grid.db:SetProfile("DPS 5/10man")

is the bit changing the profile. I presume that

Grid2.db:SetProfile("Name of your profile")

would work, but it would need testing. There are similar scripts in the script sections of Popup R rollover2, Popup R rollover3, Popup R rollover4. There are also scripts referring to Grid profile switches in KaitMedia addon folder, in KaitGridProfileSwitcher.lua. The purpose of the KaitGridProfileSwitcher.lua script is that if you have Grid set to one of the smaller group profiles, and you join a 40 man raid, the raid fills up to a point where the large raid frames no longer fit on screen, but rather than overflowing past the edge of the screen, grid moves the anchor point. And the anchor point never moves back, so it effectively breaks the layout. The KaitGridProfileSwitcher.lua script makes a auto switch to the 40man Grid profiles if the raid gains a 26th member.

I'd test it myself but I'm slightly wary of installing other big addons while still working towards version 1.0 of the UI. Be warned also - if you change a lot of scripts, new versions of the UI will overwrite your scripts.

(easier method - for now... just don't use that popup menu thing with Grid2, change the profiles manually)

As for Raven - /raven. then go to the Bar Groups tab at the top. Then on the left, select the buff frame you want from the dropdown menu. Then go to the Layout tab below that. Scroll to the bottom and you'll find the attachment options. I found I needed to set this to be UIParent make it locked to Top Left (etc) , but it has the strange effect of making the frame no longer drag-movable, just changeable with those numbers. I *think* if you delete where it says UIParent and leave it blank, it should become draggable again.
