Nightfall UI

This is a Widescreen UI designed around a 1680x1050 resolution. Using this UI on other resolutions will result in severe uglyness, please refrain. If there is enough interest for 1280x1024 I will consider making a separate release for it. This is the first UI that I've released to the public so constructive criticism is most welcome! FAQ: Bongos There are 2 hidden 2x2 button frames between the middle frames and two spaced to the left and right of them. Left click the bongos minimap button and middle-mouse click them to activate. Shift-Left click on the Bongos drums icon around the minimap to enter key bindings mode. You can now hover over the Bongos action bar buttons and press ESC to clear the binding(s) and press any key to apply new key bindings. Where is the Tracking Button? If you’re wondering where the tracking button is, mouse over the bottom right corner of your screen. Addon Tips & Tricks: Configuring all the ACE addons Type /rock to bring up the configuration window and choose the addon you wish to configure from the top left drop down menu. This window can also be accessed by right clicking anywhere on the FuBar. Align How to configure: /align If you need to move something around, align is a great took to get things aligned and look less wishy-washy. Bongos How to configure: Use the Bongos Minimap Icon – Left Click to enter configuration mode, Right Click to show the options menu, Shift-Left Click to enter bindings mode. There is no way to please everyone, so I recommend that if the default layout doesn’t suit your needs, make your own! The Default layout is a decent compromise between screen space, button economy and looks. Personally I run with my Action Bars hidden most of the time (Middle-Mouse Click a bar to ‘hide’ it). The buttons that are placed under the unit frames I use to show special skills and to monitor cooldowns so they can easily be seen when they are up. cyCircled How to configure: /rock, choose ‘cyCircled’ from the drop down menu or Right Click the FuBar and choose ‘cyCircled’ from the drop down menu. The standard skin for the buttons is Vol but there are 3 more non-standard profiles to choose from: Onyx, Vol Gold, Vol Gold: Gloss and Vol: Matte. Chinchilla How to configure: Right click the Minimap. This is the Minimap addon. If you want to change the Nightfall UI default minimap icons (they are bigger than the wow standard ones) – right-click the map, select ‘Tracking dots’ and choose ‘Blizzard’. There are also a few more presets to choose from.

Installation Guide

1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
2. Download the mod you want to install
   • Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
   • Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
   • If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
3. Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
   Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
   • Windows
     • Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
     • WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
     • WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
   • Mac Users
     • StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
4. Verify your WoW Installation Path
   That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
5. Move to the Addon folder
   • Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
   • Go into the "Interface" folder.
   • Go into the "AddOns" folder.
   • In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
   • The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
   • Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
6. Start World of Warcraft
7. Make sure AddOns are installed
   • Log in
   • At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
   • If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
   • If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
