MinUI  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.3.3
by: grantus [More]



Regarding the future of MinUI/gUF:

You may have spotted a lack of updates being pushed to RiftUI of late. I have spent many hours working on the new version of MinUI, but I will no longer be doing so. Issues in my personal life require that my priorities shift away from hardcore gaming. As such, I will no longer be playing Rift and as a result will no longer be actively developing MinUI (Which I have also realised was the only reason I was playing Rift, as I found myself not really enjoying the game but only the challenges of writing a UI AddOn).

The latest code is on the MinUI GitHub site and I encourage anyone who knows lua to take the code base and finish it off. The base addons for castbars, buffs and unit frames are all complete, as is the basis for writing a GUI Based options configuration. The new code is fairly well commented, object oriented and modular.

I apologise to all of those who have been waiting patiently for the new release, and encourage you to try myUI by jca as a viable (much more tested) alternative to MinUI. Or ... fork here if you wish to continue developing it.


Version 1.3b:
Combo Points should work again :)

Version 1.3a:
Optimisation
Buff and Animation update thresholds
Max buff/debuff options
Bug Fixes
Pet Frame should now function like a champ. Edit: But it does not :( More fixes incoming, soon.

Version 1.3
Buff Icon Layout added
Scale option added
Short health display added
Bar textures options added
Auras on buff bars added
Switched to LibUnitChange for target switching
Castbars added
In combat notification added
Background Color config added
Role icons added
Level text difficulty colour fixed maybe
Fixed player text bar not updating
Fixed health percentage being off by 1%
Fixed player targets castbar being wrong

Version 1.2a
Temporarily disabled the mouseover functionality - secure mode just stuffs everything up!

]Version 1.2
Finally fixed the zoning nil error (again :p)
Removed enter/exit combat spam

Version 1.1e
Fixed the frames not disappearing out of combat. They will still remain in combat (even if you untarget something), due to trion's secure mode restrictions not allowing addons to hide frames during combat.

Version 1.1d
Fixed bugs with percentage text (it being pinned to the wrong spot)
Bars have background colour now

Version 1.1c
Fixed bug with planar charge values not being displayed for users upgrading from older versions.
Added short text values for health/mana over 10k
Added percentage health/mana values back in (on right side of bar)
Started working in functionality for Mouse Interaction. Now you can use "cast @mouseover spellName" and it will work with MinUI (This is all that Trion has allowed so far). However, as a trade off to enable this functionality Trion does not allow addons to hide frames with interaction enabled (to stop automation basically). As a result, the frames are "always there" meaning that if you right click or left click to turn the camera where the frames are (even if they are "hidden") the frame will capture the input. I've left the frames barely showing when disabled to try and help users not click on them by accident.

Hrrm it shouldn't overwrite your saved variables. The MinUIConfig.lua stores the defaults, but if you have a MinUIConfig saved variable the game should use that. Unless I am missing something. Only if you do /mui reset will it copy the new defaults into your saved var.

Edit: Unless you're editing the MinUIConfig.lua file still?

Yes I'm editing the .lua file. I was doing that because the /mui reset is still necessary after you make changes isn't it? EDIT: ok I realized the saved variables file inherited all my settings so I don't need to edit the config.lua file now.

Also, I noticed that if you get put into combat without having a target, when you do select a target the target frame does not show up (although the buffs/debuffs do).

The leaving/entering combat spam is annoying as well. Can we turn that feedback off?

I, for one, think it would be better to just leave the frames always visible and consider the screen real estate they cover forfeit for the time being. Considering we already have other frames that do that I do not think a couple more will make a huge difference especially when they still allow you to see through the slight alpha background.

The reason is that, while playing a bit today I found myself without a target frame a little too often and had to fight without it, either because I got in combat while riding, or because I was attacked in pvp. Either way it doesn't really work.

I think the better compromise at this stage is to just leave them visible at all times, and rearrange/resize them to fit our screen setups better.

Just a thought.

@Aalwein: You should do everything in game name via /mui [command] [frame] [params]. For instance:
Code:
/mui barHeight player 50
Will set the bar height of the player frame to 50.

When you /reloadui it stores it for your character, and updates shouldn't overwrite it any more :-)

And the target not showing thing is because of the secure frame rules. I think I agree with you, prunkstation, just have them visible for now - until there is a way to disable interactivity when we are in a "secure" mode.

I think the secure frames thing should be dumped as well until there is better functionality. Since I'm sort of using the "hybrid" setup like I posted in an earlier comment, everytime I come out of combat my frame backgrounds go back to semi-transparent... which makes the text impossible to read when I have the default frames behind it.

On that note, I'm still hardcoding the background to 1.0 transparency - can you add that as a saved variable/in-game setting?

Kicking ass and taking names, grantus. I had to mention your addon in my latest blog entry (not that I'm famous or anything)!

thank you very much for that great addon!

Hi Buddy!

At first I really want to say thank you for that great addon! I appreciate your work so much.
But there are two things which came to my mind in order to make me more happy

1. Now, by clicking on my frame (the frame of the toon you play on), I do not target myself!?!? Is this intended? ^^

2. Is there a possibility to have a user interface for addon settings (like addons from the bad game (WoW) ) ?

Thanks again!

Cheers

1 - Sadly Trion hasn't allowed this functionality yet - when they let me do it, I'll be adding it in (cilck to target / right click menu etc). I'll probably add raid/party frames once they add this in as well (no point really until they do).

2 - Yeah, I'm kinda watching Libra (an addon library being developed) to see if that will make my life easier in making a config GUI. I just dont have time to write my own GUI stuff on top of developing the Frames at the moment.

Lightbulb MinUI

With this being called MinUI, do you plan on eventually making it a full on UI replacement? If so that would be awesome and I'm looking forward to it.

I want to make a UI, but I don't know how. I want to change images (I can create images in Photoshop) and make it completely custom design and I prefer minimal designs.

I'm thinking I'll go as far as Raid/Party Frames - I should of perhaps named it MinUF, but it's a bit late for that now hehe.

I'm surprised noone has made a "kgPanels" type of thing for Rift yet (as this wouldnt be too hard I don't think) for people to add their own textures to.

I don't know how to do it, do you think you could make one and make it easy to do for people that don't know code or have the ability to understand it without stressing their life out? Lol
