Latest update

Hi guys,

I know there's still some things missing, like layouts for example.

I would have loved to keep the old version of AG Unit Frames up until I thought the new version was 100% ready, but 3.0 came out, so I had to put the new version up. The old version not compatible with 3.0.

That said, I feel that the new AG Unit Frames is much lighter than the old one, while being easier to configure, contains more modern features and so on. As soon as the glitches in the wake of 3.0 is smoothed out, I'm sure many of you are going to be pretty happy with it.

Regarding the missing layouts, the layout system was completely changed, which makes the old layouts incompatible. It is much better and dynamic now and allows for a lot more customization, It is unfortunate that I haven't had time to rewrite some of the old layouts like "classic". I really plan to.

I hope this answers some of your questions!

Issues

There is a problem where party members won't be created correctly if they join while you're in combat. This is a bug in the Blizzard interface code and won't be fixed until they release a new patch. This affects all unit frame addons.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
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".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has 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.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
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
Start World of Warcraft
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.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Hello!

I need some help at configurating my UI. Basicly, I want to fix my raid frames in a way grind is fixed (kind of like raid frames picture, but only 5 per collum). Everything goes ok, but I get one problem. Due to being raid leader, it's very nice to see who gets what debuffs. Problem is, I want them inside and minimum per line is 8, which results in very small icon, where you can't even see number of stacks.
So, is there any way to get those debuffs bigger? In addition, is there any filter to not show some sort of debuffs, like Arcane Blast debuff)?

Thanks,
Flesh

Since the latest server maintainence ag_unitframes has been causing massive lag while I'm tanking raid bosses. I uninstalled it and installed pitbull and the lag went away. Do you know what could have caused this?

How do you get that menu that you show on your picture from your player frame?
I'd love to see my total health and mana instead of for example "23.8k"

Thanks Daveo, that worked! I have 2 quick questions:

1) Is there a way to get the threat % to show on the target frame? I couldn't find it in the ABF setup area.

2) Is there a way to get the role icon to show for the 5 man randoms? I'm talking about the tank/healer/dps icons that show in the Blizz party interface when you do the 5 man randoms.

Thanks!

r710 is on Curse. In the client right click on ag_UnitFrames and select Preferred Release Type and set it to Alpha. It will then let you update ag_UnitFrames to release r710, which is compatible with Patch 3.3

Why has AG been updated on WowAce and not Curse? If AG is losing Curse support I have to find a new Unit Frame AO :(

Hey andreasg

Thanks for this addon, love it! A question:

Is it possible to make my own buffs/debuffs/auras bigger than the other ones? If no, do you plan to add this?

Is there a way to move the "target" portrait to the left side, as on the "player"?

Really tried about anything, and starting to nerd-rage... Any help would be very appreciated, thank you.

Regards,
Eferne.

Hey Eferne, you can switch the sides of your player portrait and that of the target. All you have to do: unlock the frames and simply switch the positions of the frames.

This is a solid addon, even without the updates. I've been using it for a year and a half and it's sticking around until it's not possible anymore. Good work.
