Posted June 16 you can get frames to center without add ons: example /run PlayerFrame:ClearAllPoints() PlayerFrame:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-111,-175)PlayerFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) /run TargetFrame:ClearAllPoints() TargetFrame:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,113,-175)TargetFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) more distance on camera: /script SetCVar ("cameraDistancemax" ,50) 6 Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16 (edited) Adding on to Puredew's commands above: For the following commands, UIParent is your screen, "CENTER" is where on the screen you're docking your frame, and (X,Y) is the movement of the frame in relation to it's dock. Your Player, Party, and TargetFrame positions are preserved. Everything else resets upon logging out. While this is an annoyance, you simply have to press the macros once on login - Addons can do this via an OnEvent trigger. Moving Party Frames /run PartyMemberFrame1: ClearAllPoints() PartyMemberFrame1: SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-250,-60)PartyMemberFrame1:SetUserPlaced(true) Moving your Tooltip /run hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(tooltip) tooltip:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -900, 400) end) Moving your Cast Bar /run local f = CastingBarFrame; f:ClearAllPoints(); f:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, -375); f.SetPoint = function() end; f:SetMovable(false); f:SetUserPlaced(true); Moving your Target Cast Bar This anchors the "BOTTOMLEFT" of the Target's Cast Bar to the "TOPLEFT" of your Target Frame. Adjust your anchor points as necessary. I do believe it has to remain anchored to the TargetFrame in 2.4.3 otherwise the spell fill will warp/stretch. /run TargetFrameSpellBar:ClearAllPoints(); TargetFrameSpellBar:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", TargetFrame, "TOPLEFT", 20, -15); TargetFrameSpellBar.SetPoint = function() end; Moving your Right Action Bar /run local f = MultiBarRight; f:ClearAllPoints(); f:SetPoint("RIGHT", UIParent, "RIGHT", 0, 300); f.SetPoint = function() end; f:SetMovable(false); f:SetUserPlaced(true); Rescaling your UI You can string your rescale commands together with ";" so you only have to press one SetScale macro on login (if you're within the 255 character limit). /run PlayerFrame:SetScale(1.1);TargetFrame:SetScale(1.1);GameTooltip:SetScale(0.8) Return the Reference name of a UI element (mouseover) /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() ); Reposition a frame with Mouse-Drag This does not work on some UI elements, namely Action Bars. "framename" is the reference name of frame you're dragging, i.e. TargetFrame /run local f=framename; f:SetMovable(true); f:EnableMouse(true); f:SetUserPlaced(true); f:SetScript("OnMouseDown", f.StartMoving); f:SetScript("OnMouseUp", f.StopMovingOrSizing); Set Opacity 1 is Opaque, 0 is Transparent. Change "Minimap" to the desired frame. Certain elements cannot have their Alpha scaled. /run Minimap:SetAlpha(0.75) Remove End Caps (Stone Gryphons) If you're repositioning Action Bars, you can remove the gryphons like the dirty little immersionless gremlin you are. /run MainMenuBarLeftEndCap:Hide();MainMenuBarRightEndCap:Hide() Get Subzone and Coordinates of Player Position /script SetMapToCurrentZone() local x,y=GetPlayerMapPosition("player") DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("%s, %s: %.1f, %.1f",GetZoneText(),GetSubZoneText(),x*100,y*100)) Edited June 26 by Geology Cleaned up layout, commands, and attempted to make it easier to digest. 2 Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16 (edited) Thanks to the both of you for posting this information. A lot of this stuff is hard to find, changed during wrath/cata, and is generally unknown to most players who just opted to use addons. This is some great stuff to utilize to have an "acceptable" raiding ui. Below are some screenshots from testing these (from Geology).

Maybe there is a more elegant solution which is persistent, though. All of the commands function as macros, rather than pasting the line of text in the chatbox as long as they don't exceed the character limit. The ones that do need to be separated into shorter strings and run in succession. The longer string ones that I'm having issues with are a series of 4 or more macros designed to allow both buffs and debuffs to display concurrently on raid and party frames. Buffs, in particular HoTs on your party frame only show if you mouseover the party member. With the default raid frames, rdruids and to a lesser extent priests have to choose between showing debuffs or tracking their HoTs/Shields (so by and large, mainly just an inconvenience for RDruids). Mainly just trying to improve the QoL for a druid friend so he doesn't have an aneurysm on certain encounters or in heroics. However, these are from ~2010 and either these functions aren't supported in the base 2.4.3 client without editing it with addons - or the syntax to allow them to show concurrently changed between 2.4.3 and 3.3.5, or both. My small American male brain is unsure which, though I assume it wasn't supported without addons until later expansions. I quit at the end of TBC and never touched wrath (moved to pservers instead), used xperl/luna and then grid when it came out around 2.2 back then, tl:dr brain too small for this. 0 Share this post Link to post

Posted June 23 (edited) Here is the current state of my UI. For those that feel like this layout is sufficient enough of a base for you to work with you can copy and paste the subsequent commands to reproduce it (The value of the UI Scaling Slider in video settings I use is the minimum of 0.64). Tweak the (x,y) coordinates and scaling as you see fit. https://imgur.com/a/WttTmCc My commands are likely messy and could be cleaned up/made more efficient. I'm sorry. Don't hate me. Enter each of the following once, either in individual macros or just in the chat window: /run PlayerFrame:ClearAllPoints() PlayerFrame:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-120,-290)PlayerFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) /run TargetFrame:ClearAllPoints() TargetFrame:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,120,-290)TargetFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) /run PartyMemberFrame1: ClearAllPoints() PartyMemberFrame1: SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent,-250,-60)PartyMemberFrame1:SetUserPlaced(true) Next, create a macro for each of the following. These are the ones you'll press once each time you log in: /run local f = CastingBarFrame; f:ClearAllPoints(); f:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, -375); f.SetPoint = function() end; f:SetMovable(false); f:SetUserPlaced(true); /run hooksecurefunc("GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor", function(tooltip) tooltip:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -1220, 130) end) /run PlayerFrame:SetScale(1.1);TargetFrame:SetScale(1.1);PartyMemberFrame1:SetScale(1.3);PartyMemberFrame2:SetScale(1.3);PartyMemberFrame3:SetScale(1.3);PartyMemberFrame4:SetScale(1.3);GameTooltip:SetScale(0.8) /run RaidPullout1:SetScale(1.3);RaidPullout2:SetScale(1.3);RaidPullout3:SetScale(1.3);RaidPullout4:SetScale(1.3);RaidPullout5:SetScale(1.3) The last line requires your raid frames to be active, and is only there to increase the scale for ease of mouseover targeting for heals.

You could reference chat addons like Prat to see how they anchor it to a new SetPoint to see if it's possible to pull a string or two out that works as a standalone macro. In newer clients you can reference it as ChatFrame1EditBox and use SetPoint to anchor it to the "TOPLEFT" of the ChatFrame1. This doesn't work in 2.4.3 though (at least, I haven't been able to get it to work, granted I only spent ~30 minutes on it before I stopped caring).

Move it the same way you'd move other frames. I would assume it follows the rules of target/party frames and can be moved with the mouse drag command as well. Have not tested though.

Posted July 20 Banning Addons, but allowing all sorts of scripting aka macros is kind of ridiculous, cause that is cheating then as well.

Posted July 27 I was able to figure it out. This shit is annoying and buggy af. gg This requires 4 separate macros. And the positioning may be different based on your monitors resolution. My laptop is 1920x1200. I've tested this on my desktops 1440p monitor and had to change the Y axis in the macros. The positioning does not save after you close the client, so put the 4 macros somewhere on your bars and click them when you log in. /run MultiBarRight:ClearAllPoints() MultiBarRight:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", MainMenuBar, "TOPLEFT", 6, -372) MultiBarRight:SetScale(1) MultiBarRight:Show() /run for i = 2, 12 do local button = _G["MultiBarRightButton" .. i] button:ClearAllPoints() button:SetPoint("LEFT", _G["MultiBarRightButton" .. (i - 1)], "RIGHT", 6, 0) button:Show() end /run MultiBarLeft:ClearAllPoints() MultiBarLeft:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", MainMenuBar, "TOPLEFT", 6, -416) MultiBarLeft:SetScale(1) MultiBarLeft:Show() /run for i = 2, 12 do local button = _G["MultiBarLeftButton" .. i] button:ClearAllPoints() button:SetPoint("LEFT", _G["MultiBarLeftButton" ..

Posted August 16 (edited) The following two macros will put coordinates at the bottom of your world map based on your mouse cursor position: /run WF=CreateFrame("Frame","WF",WorldMapFrame) Wt=0 WS=WF:CreateFontString(nil,"OVERLAY","GameTooltipText") WS:SetPoint("CENTER",WorldMapFrame,"CENTER",0,-368) /run WF:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(s,e) Wt=Wt+e if Wt>.1 then Wt=0 x,y=GetCursorPosition() W=WorldMapDetailFrame z=W:GetEffectiveScale() WS:SetFormattedText("%.1f, %.1f",(x/z-W:GetLeft())/W:GetWidth()*100,(W:GetTop()-y/z)/W:GetHeight()*100) end end) Run those two macros once, in order, every time you log into the game or reload your UI.

Here are player coordinates just below the minimap in a large font with a black background: /run MF=CreateFrame("Frame") MS=MF:CreateFontString(nil,"OVERLAY","GameFontNormalLarge") MS:SetTextColor(1,1,1) MS:SetPoint("CENTER",Minimap,"CENTER",0,-90) MT=MF:CreateTexture() MT:SetAllPoints(MS) MT:SetTexture(0,"CLAMPTOBLACK") /run Mt=0 MF:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(s,e) Mt=Mt+e if Mt>.2 then Mt=0 _=WorldMapFrame:IsVisible() or SetMapToCurrentZone() x,y=GetPlayerMapPosition("player") MS:SetText("") _=IsInInstance() or MS:SetFormattedText("%.1f, %.1f",x*100,y*100) end end) You can change "GameFontNormalLarge" to "GameFontNormal" for a regular-sized font. You can use MS:SetTextColor(r,g,b) to change the color, for example: MS:SetTextColor(0,1,0) would make the coordinates green. If you want the coordinates to display inside the minimap, change -90 to -55 after SetPoint.
