Ultimate UI
Compiled by Nathanmx

Introduction

Ultimate UI is a compilation of addons for World of Warcraft that have been setup in a way to make the life of the user easier and more efficient. It is quite possibly the most feature-packed, customisable UI out there. Note that 99.9% of the credit for the coding of this package goes out the the respective developers for each addon - all I did was merge the addons by fixing code here and there, and made sure there were/are no conflictions.

And lastly, make sure you check up on the latest stuff happening at the WorldofWarcraft.com official UUI thread.

How to Correctly Install UUI
Instructions to Setup UUI. If you follow these steps, your UI will work. I've tested this beyond belief.
1. Just by read this, you must have already installed UUI. If you haven't and don't know how to, then you are not at the stage in which you will be able to successfully use this UI. It's that simple.
2. It is advised that you delete your entire interface folder BEFORE installing UUI. If you have failed to do this, then delete you interface folder, and reinstall UUI. This applies ESPECIALLY to first time installers. Add any addons that you would like to use after you have UUI set up and working correctly, just in case of addon conflicts with your separate addons.
3 . Unless you have incredibly important data (like lootlink, or a karma list) that you want to keep, delete you WDB and WTF folders in your warcraft directory. Failure to do so may cause errors in the game. Leave the WTF and WDB folders as they are at your own risk. And no, removing them does not damage WoW in anyway, don't be nub, please. K thx.
4 . Optional Step: Go to your interface folder, then go into a folder labeled "GlueXML". In that folder you will find a file called "AccountLogin.lua". Open that file (if it asks you to choose a program, choose WordPad or NotePad) and enter your password and account name in the quotes. This is so that when you start up wow, your name and password will automatically be entered in the fields and all you will have to do is press enter. THERE IS NO RISK OF SOMEONE STEALING YOUR PASSWORD HERE, EXCEPT MAYBE YOUR LITTLE BROTHER. In other words, only people who have direct access to your computer and open up the "AccountLogin.lua" file will ever be able to find out your password. If you don't trust a sibling, then don't do this step. It is optional, as has been mentioned. Below is a sample of what the first two lines might look like:

PASS = "thisismyleetpass1";
ACCT = "TheDarkstriker";

5. Start up WoW. If you completed step 4 successfully, then your account name and password should already be entered for you. Just hit enter. The screen that you come to after you login and wait eons for that "Authenticating..." thing to go away is the Character Selection screen. In the bottom left corner there is a button labeled "Addons". If you ever need to disable a feature in UUI or any other user interface, just click the Addons button, and uncheck the feature you don't want to use. NOTICE: UNCHECKING THE WRONG OPTION CAN CAUSE UNDESIRED GAME INSTABILITY. No, your computer won't blow up, nor will anything really that bad happen, but WoW might get nuts on you and do some crazy stuff. Ok this wasn't really a step but ok next step anyways.
6. Play WoW and have fun. More on Setting up Your UI in the next section.

How to Setup your Lovely new UI

This section is organized via questions. Look down the list and find your question and read the answer. Each and every time I get asked question that is not on this guide, I add it here. In time, hopefully no one will ever read this guide and still be confused. Ok, lets begin with the questions.

Question #1: WAIT! My UI seems grouped, I can't drag the player frame without dragging the party frame and the target frame!
Answer: Click the "G" icon on your minimap. In the unit bar tab, the first option allows you to group/ungroup the unit bars. Check/uncheck as appropriate.


Question #2: I can't move stuff around wtf help!!!
Answer: To move stuff around, click the golden lock icon on the side of the minimap so that it's unlocked (see "Lock/Unlock Button" in figure 1). Then, move your mouse over vairous parts of the user interface, such as the action bar, and you'll notice you can drag the individual parts (by dragging them via the tab that pops up).


Question #3: Where / what is my cast bar?
Answer: Your cast bar is the bar that shows the stuff you are casting and how long till it will be cast. If you can't find your cast bar, the easiest way is the cast a spell, or use a bandage, or get on your mount, or use a travel form. All of those cause the cast bar to appear. If you cannot see it even when you do those, then somehow it has move off your screen. Try resizing your resolution to really high, then casting/mounting again. You should be able to see it somewhere on the the screen. Move it to where you want, put your resolution back, lock it up, and you're all set.


Question #4: Everyone once and a while, my Party Frame gets messed up, sometimes appears to disappear, sometimes graphics being displaced. What do I do?
Answer: Unlock the UI, click and drag the party frame any distance. This movement resets the party frame.


Question #5: In the gypsy menu, I can't click the side tabs, they seem to be greyed out!
Answer: This usually occurs with a savedvariables conflict - your probably forgot to delete your WTF and WDB folders. Make sure you follow the installation instruction above by the letter.


Question #6: I can't click portraits of people to target/select them!
Answer: This is because some frames are in the way. Frames can be invisible. Most of them are. Some overlap. Those that overlap the party frame will prevent you from being able to select the party members. Examples of this include the side bar - it may be invisible but that doesn't mean it's not there. Go to the UUI options and move it all the way down. That should do that trick.


Question #7: I can't move the chat frame!!!! Please help k thx bye
Answer: Moving the chat frames is wow default stuff, it has nothing to do with this UI. But anyways, hover your mouse over the chat frame and a tab should pop up in about 2 seconds. Right click that tab, and click "Unlock Window". Now, drag the window via the the tab. Lock again the same way you locked it. If you have problems getting the General tab to pop up, try double clicking the chat frame area.


Question #8: There's some kind of karma error that happens when you join groups or invite people. Something on line 1119. What is this?
Answer: It's just a stupid karma error that I have no control over. I've tried to fix it, even though karma is not my jurisdiction. Again, I don't make these mods, I make them compatible with everything else.


Question #9: I can't move the actions from the action bar - they seem stuck!
Answer: hat's cos there's an addon called "lockbar" that prevents you from accidentally dragging actions off the action bar. Simply hold shift when you click and drag and action or click the check mark on the far left side of your action bar. You may not be able to see it fully with lower resolutions, but it's there.


Question #10: I can't move my equipment buff icon/text
Answer: It's kind of weird, but you have to select a bit below the icon to drag it. Approximately 4 mini icon lengths in distance works fine. Sometimes it works correctly, and all you have to do is click and drag it via the icon.


Question #11: How do you move the popbar? It seems stuck to the gypsy frame...?
Answer: To use the popbar with the gypsy hotbar, all you have to do is disable the hotbar temporarily. To do that, go to the gypsy options (G button on the minimap), click the hotbar tab, then disable the hotbar via the first option. Then, move the popbar away from where the hotbar used to be. Then, enable the hotbar again the same way you disabled it, and voila! - the popbar and the hotbar are separate.


Question #12: Where are the buttons for talents/quest log/GM help/character frame?
Answer: Those are referred to as the menu buttons, and they disappear when using the hotbar. You can bring them back with an option in the gypsy menu, and even move them around to where you want.


Question #13: Bloody pirates!!!! I can't logoff, or exit the game without wating a little bit... wtf?
Answer: I've personally had this happened to me, and I'm not sure what it is. What happens (for those who don't know) is that when you click "logout" or "exit" from the menu, the game kinda just sits there. You may leave the main channels, and you can't use guild chat, but your character can still move around. I'm working on a fix as we speak.


Question #14: How do I remove the status bar text on my party members and/or myself?
Answer: There's two options that enable that text. The first option is in your Interface options, I believe it's called "Enable Status Bar Text" or something of that nature. Make sure that's disabled. Then, go to UUI options, and then in Advanced Interface options there should be another option to enable/disable that status bar text. Once both are turned off, it should disappear.


Question #15: The gypsy hotbar uses some of the same action slots as the right sidebar, can I change this?
Answer: Yes, the easiest way is to simply hold shift and press the up arrow to change the pages that the hotbar uses. Just go until you come to pages that the sidebar doesn't use. The only downside is that you'll have to redo some keybindings (0-9, -, =).


Question #16: My target/player/character/party frame doesn't exist or I can't find it on the screen, how do I get it back?
Answer: You dragged your target/character/player/party frame off your screen. Go to the gypsy options and go to the unit bars tab. Then check/uncheck group unit frames. Make sure it ends checked, but you checked and unchecked it at least once. Now, when you drag the targetting frame or player frame or your party frame, the other frames will go with it. It shouldn't be hard to find and correctly place the frames where you like from here.
