General WoW Questions

[SnatchWrangler]

Figured I'd start this up again, because for a level 60 rogue that IMHO is pretty damn good in Instances and decent in PvP, I still have alot of simple questions I have no clue about...

Okay, for those of you that have Insomniax.

You know in the top, center of the screen when you've selected a target, or mouse over something it shows the Name, Level, PvP Enabled, etc. in a colored slightly transparent box?

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET RID OF THAT CRAP?!? Or atleast move it.

It overlaps whatever player or mob I'm engaged with, and I can't tell how many combat points I've built up. It seems like a minor thing, but I still have an issue with clicking a different target and resetting my combo points, or at the very least, using ColdBlood when I've only got 3 or 4 CPs, when I think I had 5.

Anyone?

Also, how do I remove all those little buttons that Insomniax puts around your mini-map? I like a couple of them, but about 80% of them are useless to me.

because of this and fuckupbot otherwise known at thottbot I dont use any UIs for warcraft anymore.

Did you try Insomniax at all? I like it a lot better than Cosmos, and haven't run into any issues running it (meaning it doesn't break after every patch).

The only time I ever crash anymore is when I'm PvPing, and I get DoT'd by 40 Alliance at once. It'll freeze my screen and crash the game. Since I dumped Cosmos for Insomniax, I haven't had a crash other than that situation.

Insomniax > Cosmos

I don't know the answer to your question Alorg. I don't have those issues except with the little buttons around the mini-map.. but they don't bother me at all.

You will when using your combo points with Stabbed becomes more crucial.

Could you post the link to install Insomniax? I'm willing to test it out over Cosmos.

On your mod icon row, the one that surrounds your radar, click on "Open Insomniax Custom Tooltip 1.1." It should be the fourth icon from the right.

Check the "Disable Relocation" box.

I've been using it for a while now. Definitely the best mod out there, since it brings together the best single mods and makes them work together. It takes a while to set it up how you like, and it seems a bit overwhelming at first, but it's worth it in the long run.

[Nieninque]

It is far and away better than Cosmos and it does take a lot more time to set up but god is it worth it.

I have to say I couldnt imagine using the game without the UI mods any more...kind of like the reliance on the psinet features in GS. It makes the game so much easier and more managable...a case in point being the fact that in PvP, if I was missing the buttons I would end up clicking on the ground and changing the camera angle so I was looking down on what was going on....seriously threw me on many an occasion....so I moved the buttons and now if I miss the buttons, I just miss the buttons. Cant do that without the mod.

As for your problems Alorg, the only thing I can think of is the tooltips, which you can turn off or move using the tooltip button (ironically on the edge of your minimap). Only thing I now have like that is a button in the cente of my screen when I log on with Target...I turn that off each time I log in and no other problems with it. Pretty much everything is movable with the mods Insomniax put in. Some of the control panels for some of the mods arent so obvious and to find out how to use them, I browsed the folders in the Add Ons folder and looked through the Readme files in the relevant ones (i.e. Healix - was something like /hx spell to open the control panel for the spells, then you can change the setting for that.) You might want to browse through and see what ones you need or otherwise.

OMG thanks for the link and suggestion to try it. I like it SO much. I'm going to be so hooked. I know I'm just shooting myself in the foot with this since my fiance and I tend to play on each other's computer because he has a mac and uses mine to play Sims 2. So when I play WoW on his computer, I'm going to be all screwed up. Ah, who cares. It's awesome. Thanks again. :)
