About kgPanels

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels

Wiki and FAQ

Sample Scripts

OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.

if pressed then
  -- do mouse down actions
elsif released then
  -- do mouse up actions
end

This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.

Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial

Ive created an Example Texture Pack.

This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

I am trying to setup a panel to show only when i have a pet present. I use Dominos for my bar mod so probably be easier to setup using some kind of check to see if pet is out. Any help would be appreciated.

That's easy to do. Just bind the panel to the pet bar. You will need the name of the pet bar though. To get the name place your mouse over the first button on the left and type this into your chat box:

/run print(GetMouseFocus():GetName())

That will print the window name under the mouse to your chat window. Then go into kgpanels and change both the Parent Frame and Anchor Frame to the name you got from the output. Change your anchor points to Center.

Then just resize the panel around your pet bar. When the pet bar disappears so will the panel.

I have two gradient panels, for my chat and combat log, which are at either side of the screen, but the fading is facing right on both of the panels.

Is it possible to flip one of them around so that the solid part of the panel starts at either side of the screen and fades towards the middle?

I've tried using the Flip functions aswell as the Rotate function but it doesn't seem to work.

Just change the colors on one of your panels to be opposite. So the BG color of the left panel will be black while the BG color on the right panel will white. Do the same for the BG gradiant color.

hey, I want to use kg panels on my main, but deactivate them on my alt, any way I can do that, with or without scripts

you can select the kgpanels layout "none". layout's are like groups so you can select an empty group (none) to see nothing. or your layout with panels.

Hi.

I have made 2 panels that are used stances/buffs and consumables. When I enter an vehicle the actionbars dissapear, but the 2 panels remain. What I want is the panels to dissapear when I enter an vehicle such as a plain or wolves in ToC and they re-appear when I leave the vehicle.

Any input/scripts/help will be very appreciate.

Many thanks.

Check wowwiki.com and look for anything like IsInVehicle() or something and then an event called UNIT_IN_VEHICLE or similar.

Then register the event in OnLoad and make an if-statement in the OnEvent

Tried looking at wowwiki.com but didnt find any scripts or tags.

In the OnLoad:
self:RegisterEvent ("UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE")

In the OnEvent:
if UnitInVehicle("player") then...

there you go :)

Ok so I made it partically work but when I exit my vehicle my panel doesnt show back up.

I did
OnLoad
self:RegisterEvent ("UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE")
self:RegisterEvent ("UNIT_EXITING_VEHICLE")

OnEvent
if event == "UNIT_ENTERED_VEHICLE" then
self:Hide()
elseif event == "UNIT_EXITING_VEHICLED" then
self:Show()
end

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, excellent addon btw :)

I was wondering:

I'm trying to make the healthbar look like it rises from some other part off my ui, when i target someone or entering combat. I got all the other stuff working in the script but can't find out haw to access the objects (HPBar) coordinates from the scripting in kgpanels.

Tried stuff like kgPanelsDB.global.layouts..test.absolute_bg.URx self:setoffset

Don't know what to call for and where i should insert the new cords.
