Default Want to try something fresh..

I've been using ctmod and I want to change a few things.



~ Is there a way to get rid of other people's portrait or add them at will when I need them? As shown in red.

~ Lots of mod like to put their minibutton at the blue coloured region in the map. Which mean if I want to access something I have to log out, disable the current mod and enable the mod I want to use. Then log into the game again to use the mod in game.

~Is there a way to resize omen box size?

And umm...do you think my wow is kinda bland? As you can see lots of original wow feature is still in it.

You can resize Omen - I figured it out a few weeks ago. Just pull the bottom right corner.

As for your party portraits, I know how to do it in X-perl, but not in CTMod.

Geez you have a lot of space in your hotkeys mate. Mine are fully filled and I have to keep swapping things out:

F1 - Bloodlust Brooch AP trinket
F2 - Stealth
F3 - Mount
F4 - Kick
F5 - PvP trinket (swap in haste pots for raid)
F6 - Adrenaline Rush for raid, Prep for PvP
F7 - Gouge
F8 - Terokkar Tablet (AP trinket)
F9 - Drums of Battle
F10 - Flying Mount

' - SnD
1 - Attack
2 - SS for raid, Hemo for PvP
3 - Rupture
4 - Kidney shot for PvP, Feint for raid
5 - Exp Armour for PvP, Evi for raid
6 - Evi for PvP, Kidney Shot for raid (only for spell interrupts)
7 - Sprint
8 - Evasion
9 - Vanish
10 - Blind
11 - Bandage
12 - Heal Pot

I also bound X and S to the stuff I most use as I turn with my mouse (I don't click on my hotbar) and strafe with Q and E particularly in PvP.

X - Blade Flurry (raid) or Shadowstep (PvP) - in WotLK I bound Murder Spree to this
S - CLoS

Here's my interface (hotkeys were cut off)

Yeah it looks a little dated/bland. You need to get X-perl and Titan panel. I too, am all about revamping my UI and I have to say nothing of the bulky original WoW stuff remains on my game. X-perl is far better than ctmod, especially for raiding and such. Titan will minimize the use of the other indicators, and put everything you need on a clean bar at the top (or bottom) of your screen. You can even reskin titan with an x-perl theme for a sleeker, glassy look.

I'd recommend possibly redoing your hotbar UI with hotbuttons classic or something, as it makes a ton more room, but this is optional - I eventually went back to the old bars. Try "Scrolling combat text" to eliminate alot of the times when you need to look at your combat log, and you can also free up some space by axing your bag UI with Titan.

Just my 2.

I'm a clicker so I don't bind my keys. As you can see I group my icons according to their functions.

wow original action bar - main attack abilities, interupter, seldom usage skill.

second row from bottom bar - stealth abilities , escape abilities, super power abilities, trinkets, consumables that aid in combat, macros.

right row - travel items, hp/mana consumables, quest items.

left row - throw/range abilities, secondary profession.

Ok, I'm still using Ct mod but I've done some tweaking. Now it looks much much more spacious.

Q : Does xperl works with ctmod?



As you can see I'm still unable to find any mods to edit the party portrait. As shown in red.

I purposely shown recount and omen to show where I put them. Normally they are not shown but when they do my screen still looks spacious. I also manage to resize them. But the black box is kinda distracting. I wonder if I can make them slightly transparent.

In the meantime I help myself to download naturcombat castbar, auctioneer, mobinfo, gatherer, questhelper and atlas.

I can see how you could do it for raids, but do you find it hard to pvp while clicking?

People straff left and right had always give me problems in pvp. Or those that like to move here and there. However..

Honestly, the most annoying problem I had in pvp (and also in other areas like raids or 5 man) was that my icon would be gone. Yeah that's right, my icon will be missing in a middle of a fight.

I will be like "omg! my ss icon is missing!!" "where is my vanish icon?"

Then just recently, more like few weeks ago (don't laugh). I've found out that I can actually lock my icons in their bars so that they won't move.

Yeah after all these years of playing wow.

Not sure if Ctmod works with it, I dont use both, only X-perl and the raidhelper within it. It looks better now, I see you got the hotbutton mod. Your UI could use a titan bar, which would fit nicely on the top of your screen there, showing gold, durability, bag space, server time etc. all on one neat line. You can even meld Atlas into it via the plugin on the Atlas site, and eliminate the icon around your minimap.

I still think you need X-perl, as you can fit your party members energy bars into a much tighter and neater space, and even take off the portraits if you like (good for raids etc.). You can also dump castbar then, since X-perl has it's own.

I would definitely consider upgrading to X-Perl - it's so flexible.

Firstly, get Xperl, not CTmod.

Look at Memmys UI with the portraits, look at mine. As he said, very flexible. I want my party in the top left, and myself in the bottom.

Also, square mini map ftw. And look for a mod called floating buttons/detached buttons or something, lets you move all mini map buttons where you want.

Shame its 4am, as this is an Old UI pic, I'd show you something newer/bit nicer.

Btw you two, get a widescreen monitor, helps loads.

And yes, I prefer standard Blizz icon bars over bartender

Edit - Ignore me being 5th on damage, thats not normal It's BT, note no oil/food buff/flask We don't care in BT
