UI & Addons

User interface customization and addons.

UI is Almost Up

by

I was bound and determined to get my UI compilation back on WoWInterface today, but the forces opposing my UI productivity were conspired against me. I had all sorts of unexpected things come up. It’s just about ready to go, but I need to pack it in for today. All I have left to do is write up the description …

Another reason to be excited about Patch 4.3

by

I have a big fat UI update on the way. 🙂

Gar Hunter UI Pre-Patch 4.3
Current version of the Gar UI

I know it’s been a patch or three since I last posted an update to this, and for that I apologize. You have to understand, however, getting a UI compilation prepared and ready for download is serious business — something I seldom have the time for. There may be little quirks and things that I can live with, fix later, etc… but when I make the decision to actually post it online, s**t has to be near-perfect. Because I have to work for a living, I must make decisions on how to spend my ‘off-time’, resulting in things like UI updates getting placed on the back burner.

Having said that… those of you eager to try out my user interface will be pleased to know that I have spent the past two days hard at work, trying to iron out the final few kinks. This involved a full audit of my custom interface, i.e., reassessing all of the addons – making sure that all of them were current and still being developed – or finding better alternatives, as well as finishing up the little customization odds and ends that have been needed prior to this update.

And I mean it this time… I know I’d been promising a Patch 4.2+ update for the past several months and hadn’t delivered, but I will be uploading an updated version of the Gar UI by the end of this week, If not sooner. Of course, this is provided that Patch 4.3 doesn’t blow it all up. 😉

I also plan to update all of my Hunter Power Auras this week. I’ll have those posted here on the site.

Updated Power Auras Sets

by

I wanted to make a quick announcement letting you know that I pasted my current Power Auras sets last week. The individual Power Auras strings still need updating, but if you wish to try any of my PA’s, just import my entire sets and mess around with them from there.

I’ve trimmed down the Power Auras that I’m using, but I’ve left any and all PA’s in the sets so others may try them out to see if they like them. Just be sure to enable them for either or both specs, or else they won’t activate.

Visit this page and scroll down to where it says My Entire Set of Power Auras, then follow the instructions below…

NPCScan

by

While working on my post about Madexx, I figured I’d make a little more fuss over NPCScan. It’s truly an awesome addon, which probably every WoW player should be using.

Even if you don’t play a hunter (in that case, wtf are you doing on my site?!), NPCScan is a great addon to have. It alerts you to rare spawn mobs that are nearby – including the targetable Mysterious Camel Figurines in Uldum. With NPCScan, you rarely miss an opportunity to find what you’re after, or to find what you didn’t know was there. 😉

As long as a mob’s within targeting range of NPCScan (which has a pretty huge radius), the addon will sound an alert and display some on-screen notifications – including a clickable portrat of the mob that it’s discovered. It also places a raid target icon on the rare mob, making it extremely easy to spot.
