WoW UI / Mod assistance

Wyrdo · 20 Feb 2007 at 17:35

Hey guys, hoefully one of you lovely people will be able to help.

I came across a WoW screenshot today and was impressed with the setup, do you have any ideas what mods they're using or what UI this is?

I especially like the chat window set up across the bottom and the buff window, would like mine like that.

Edit: Link removed, swearies! :eek:

Looks like photek ui with elkano buffbars and the warlock mod necrosis. Not sure what extras there are as I've not used photek for a few versions now.

yep thats Photek UI. Download it here

The main mods in the compilation are

AG Unitframes
Bartender
Fubar
SW_Stats
X Raid Status
oRa2
KTM Threatmeter
Cryolosis (mage mod Bottom left hand corner)

and ya might want to blur out the sweary in the picture

Thanks for that guys, got Photek installed and spent ages messing with it all last night. Very nice

One problem I had that I just left as I was tired, when opening windows such as the character or abilities window they were locked in place and I couldn't see a way to move them.

I assume there is but I was tired and just gave up and went to bed. How do I move these windows?

When I used photek there was a yellow button on the fubar that let you configure every single addon individually, they all had descriptions too so it wasn't too hard finding the right one.

It always impressed me how much wow could get 'modded' and once you have started to use mods, going back to stock is really strange.

it's because the default UI sucks basically.

Although I use a couple of mods, they don't really drastically change the setup. I gave myself an extra 2 bars, some pretty icons for buffs/debuffs and the CTRaidAssist as it's useful and mandatory for us. Oh and KTM Threatmeter too.

Personally I think the fairly generic standard UI works fine, I even used to raid using it and never had any problems.

I agree, I used to use photek but since I started playing WoW again all I now use is bongos, onebag and dimapcoords as they provide everything I need. The default ui has lots of extra options such as auto looting, implied targets etc these days which is a big step forward.

never thought i would start messing with my UI but as i got bored of the game i thought i would at lease make it look a little nicer... so have spent a week or so making a ui mod usinf Discord Art, Unit Frames, Action Bars and frame managment. Everything looks cool so far but i am getting bugs using the Discord action bar scription.

I have been trying to get the action bars to chance skills when a stance is changed or shiftshape. (ie druid and warrior) got it working but sometimes it sticks. bloody annoying.

any how... bit off topic there... i don't think i could go back to the default ui.

They are locked in place. To move them, you will have to get another mod called "Move Anything". That should sort it.

I didnt want to start a new thread on WoW so here goes.

Sorry to sort of hi-jack btw, I am a noob at this im only lv27 and I have a few mates from work who now play this game too. I have got a guild charter for people to sign. I did set it up initialy to recruit workers from Morrisons supermarkets.

Now that we have all joined, well the ones I work with. I have a few places left for the giuld to be set up. I need 3 more signatures from players.

If you are playing this and not in a guild please /w me "droolinggimp".

We are a social guild based on the PvP server "maelstrom" the guild is called "The Sons of Morri" Geddit

If you are interested, like I said wisper me and ill get back to you..

ICEMAN133 · 21 Feb 2007 at 15:57

The maelstrom! w00t :O

never came across anyone playing there (Except in-game ofc >_>)

horde/alliance?

i'm not playing much, if at all now, but on topic - i've found once you get your head on using/setting up mods, your UI just looks soooo much nicer.

i'll try and find a pic on our guildie forums and link

Droolinggimp · 21 Feb 2007 at 16:06

Yeah myself and my mates are all on maelstrom. We are horde btw..Im a Orc Warrior

I d/l a UI thing today. Makes it loads better. Titan bar I think it was called.
