The Ultimate WoW Forever UI Guide (No Addons Required) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Greetings everyone and welcome back to another  video. So today we're going to talk about the UI
2. 0:04that I have created in World of Warcraft forever.  Everyone can download it very easily. It requires
3. 0:09no add-ons at all. You just have to import the UI  direct into the game and that's it. So in World of
4. 0:15Warcraft forever I prefer having a minimalistic UI  with no add-ons and therefore I created this one
5. 0:21here. It's purely using the edit mode. So you can  press escape edit mode and then you basically just
6. 0:27have to build your own UI. What I did was I took  all the action bars in the bottom. Action bar one,
7. 0:32two, three, and then we have four and five over  here. I'm using the personal resource display
8. 0:38and also the cast bar here with the damage meter  in the right corner and also the swing timers.
9. 0:43As you can see, I also have all the cooldown  managers here that is helping me to keep track
10. 0:48of my buffs and cooldowns. We're using the classic  style with the interface unit frames in the top
11. 0:53left corner. We're using raid style for the party  frames. So, the party frames, they look really,
12. 0:58really cool. But then everything else like the  quest, uh, the buffs, and also, of course, I have
13. 1:04moved our inventory and the menus down here in the  right corner. And I did make the chat a little bit
14. 1:10bigger. The cool thing about this UI here is that  I have it in four resolutions. Now, in my previous
15. 1:17video I made, I only had three resolutions. I had  1080p, 2K, ultrawide, but I didn't had 4K. But now
16. 1:25I actually also have 4K cuz a lot of people ask me  for a 4K version. So I basically also made the 4K
17. 1:31version. Now I I just first had to get a 4K screen  and then I was able to actually uh make the 4K
18. 1:38version. It wasn't actually too different from the  other one, but once you import it and I changed a
19. 1:43little bit, it looks pretty cool. So we have four  different versions now. Now you might be asking,
20. 1:49how do I get this into my game from your game? So,  first of all, one thing you have to do is you need
21. 1:54to join my Discord. You will find the link in the  description. You might be saying, why do I have to
22. 1:58do that? Well, because the the UI code is way too  long for me to post them down in description. So,
23. 2:04you have to go here and pick up the you can  just join, get the codes, and leave if you want,
24. 2:09or you can stay with Loi Paladins, which is a very  uh focused World of Warcraft forever community. On
25. 2:14the Discord server, you will see here in the  right side, the left side when you join that,
26. 2:18you can see here we have WoW forever guides.  And then we have this one here called UI guide
27. 2:23forever. Inside this UI guide here, you have this  one here called Dualing UI forever. And then you
28. 2:28can scroll down here. You can see there's  a little preview of it. Then I have all the
29. 2:32options that you should enable to basically have  the same experience as me. So again, a preview all
30. 2:38the options that you should enable. And I'm very  explicitly telling you like, okay, do this one,
31. 2:43this one, this one, this one, this one. No add-ons  still. Also name plates in case you want to have
32. 2:48the same name plates as I have. And then the UI  codes come here. So there's one for the 1080p.
33. 2:54And one thing that people because a lot of people  has been saying, "Hey, I'm using your resolution,
34. 2:58but for some reason when I import it, it doesn't  look like yours." That is because of screen scale.
35. 3:04If you right click on your desktop and you  say screen settings and you go down to your
36. 3:09resolution, you will see there's one called screen  scale. If your screen scale is not 100% if you run
37. 3:14using the 1080p then it will not look like mine  because I only use 100% zoom. Um if you use 150%
38. 3:21zoom because you like to have all the windows  way bigger in in the game then it's not going
39. 3:26to look like mine. What you can do then is there's  a workar around actually to fix that. You can just
40. 3:31go into options and then you go to uh graphics and  then you can see this one here use UI scale. What
41. 3:37you can try here is that you can enable it and  then try you can see now it just made everything
42. 3:41like way bigger. But what you can try is you can  try to keep like putting it down like maybe down
43. 3:47to like maybe 80% or something like that until  you feel like okay yeah now it actually looks
44. 3:53pretty cool. Now it actually looks like what Dinan  is showing on his video like this. Now it actually
45. 3:58looks like mine. But I I don't I don't use this  normally. But you can try do it if in case yours
46. 4:03looks differently. But again, back to the discord  here. So again, very importantly, this is for
47. 4:10uh 1080p and screen scale 100%. Then we also have  a 2K monitors and screen scale 100%. And we have
48. 4:17ultravide with 100% again. And then I have the  4K one where the screen normally recommends to
49. 4:22have 150. And I do use the 150 because else all  the windows is like super small and I I can't see
50. 4:28anything. So that's why I decided to make it for  150. But you can of course again try add it in and
51. 4:34then try use that thing where you can like scroll  down in in size in case that helps. Then and
52. 4:40again here I'll also show picture of how it looks  like. I think this is from Windows 10. Everyone is
53. 4:45using Windows 11 now. But basically it shows here  that you know you can choose the the size of the
54. 4:50render but it's just because I had a few people  asking. This is the video I made last time where
55. 4:55I basically go through all this but this one here  we are recording right now is going to be a little
56. 4:59bit more comprehended. Cool. All right. So, this  is just to let you know that if you want the UI,
57. 5:05you can get it from here. Beside of that, then  again, when you have to enable those things that
58. 5:10I mentioned in the guide, when you go to options,  I recommend, for example, again, one of the things
59. 5:15I recommend is, for example, auto loot. I like  that because it automatically loots the targets
60. 5:19for you. In interface, I like to have status text  on both. So, when I click on someone, I can see
61. 5:24how much HP and HP percent they have. I also like  to have chat bubbles uh both a party and raid just
62. 5:30because it's pretty cool. On action bars, I have  enabled 2, three, four, and five. And I also have
63. 5:35show numbers of cooldowns. Combat wise, I have  personal resource display, which is the bar we
64. 5:41have down here. We also have target of target.  And we also have scrolling combat text. Basically,
65. 5:45when you whenever you get healed or damaged,  it will show like a number on you, or else
66. 5:50it it wouldn't do that. It's default turned off,  which I don't understand. Then we go to advanced
67. 5:54options. And here I basically enable everything.  uh enable cooldown manager, enable swing timer,
68. 6:01enable damage meter, and I also like to have auto  reset damage meter, which is basically resetting
69. 6:06your damage meter every time you go into like a  new dungeon and so on, so you don't have all data
70. 6:10in them. In the advanced cooldown manager, I have  made another video about that one, but in here,
71. 6:15you can essentially set up, you can see above  me, you can set up which cooldowns do you want to
72. 6:19track. So, for example, this is the page where you  track cooldowns. This is the page where you track
73. 6:24buffs. So I can actually see how if I have buffs  active and how you know long they're going to like
74. 6:29expire. I think this is really cool. And then you  can also like group buffs which I think is like
75. 6:33for party frames and so on. But yeah, but again  these two is the most important ones like the
76. 6:38boss tracking buffs um and also tracking spells.  For example, as an enhancement shaman, it's really
77. 6:43cool to be able to track mem which is going to be  showing up here. And again, this is also inside my
78. 6:48UI that all of these is automatically here. Then  if we go into options again then you can find name
79. 6:55plates. And essentially what I have done here is  that I have increased the size of the name plate
80. 6:59to five cuz I really like to see the name plates.  Buffs I keep on 100 style I have chosen the block
81. 7:05one cuz I really like that one. Then I have chosen  to see the HP percentage. The rarity icon and then
82. 7:12after that I have enabled everything everything  and everything and then zero and debuff padding.
83. 7:20In case you also have your friend, you are like  friend uh name plates on. You can see they become
84. 7:25very big on your party members. If you want those  to be a little bit smaller and simplified because
85. 7:30you rather want to focus on enemies, then you  can do simplified name plates and you can save
86. 7:35friendly players and now they get very like  simplified. Um, so like that's up to you if
87. 7:40you I don't know if you play with like friendly  action but uh you know friendly name plates
88. 7:45in case you do that. But yeah and then one thing  they have moved from my last video is down here in
89. 7:51the bottom they have this called preset which is  like the things where you can choose if you want
90. 7:55to have the classic experience or the enhanced  experience because I also use the combined backs
91. 7:59which is essentially just making my entire all my  backs into one big back. I I really enjoy that.
92. 8:06And then if you go in here again, then you can  see uh well rest of it is not really something
93. 8:11we have to talk about. So essentially that's the  UI. If you want to import it, you click escape
94. 8:18edit mode. You click here, you say import. And  then you of course on the discord you have to
95. 8:23choose the right resolution one. The one for  your resolution that works for you. And again,
96. 8:30then we have all the things here, the options that  I just showed you regarding key bindings. In case
97. 8:36you're a new player and you're really thinking  about what should my key bindings be, you could
98. 8:40take and look at my key bindings. Uh, again, we  could probably do this little trick here where
99. 8:45the screen becomes like way bigger. Well, not not  that except um, if we do this and then this here.
100. 8:54If you look at my key bindings here, you can see  here that what I essentially do is I have 1 2 3
101. 9:004 5 6 7 8 9 zero and then I have half because  I don't know in Denmark we have h like we have
102. 9:07a button next to number one. So next to my number  one you can see next to my number one that is like
103. 9:13um this one here that's next to my number one  I like to use that one. So I use that one down
104. 9:18there. I usually use it for interrupts and so  on. But the interrupts we have as an enhancement
105. 9:22shaman is number one as well. Then I have this  one here over here which is my middle mouse.
106. 9:28So when I click on the middle of my mouse I go  into ghost wolf. I like to have that. Then this
107. 9:35the button on the side of my mouse the top one on  the side is the one I have here. Then I basically
108. 9:41use Q and E because I never click Q and E for  moving. Like I don't know why I would do that.
109. 9:47I I I respect others if that you like to do that,  but I just like to press Q for casting a spell
110. 9:52and E for casting a spell. And then I have R, F,  and then basically S1, S2, S3 all the way to S7.
111. 10:00And then up here I have C, X, C, V. So essentially  when you just be careful when you do this because
112. 10:09C is the button that normally draws your weapon.  X is the button that normally makes you sit. C
113. 10:14is the one that normally opens up your character  panel. and V is the one that enables and disables
114. 10:19uh name plates. So you just got to be careful.  Some of these cool key bindings I have here is
115. 10:24actually already used by some interface which you  never use in combat and you can always just open
116. 10:29them bar down here and name plates is something  you can just you know go into options and enable
117. 10:34and disable and then I use control one to control  8 but that is essentially the the key bindings I
118. 10:41use in case someone was asking hey what what is  your key bindings actually? So, key bindings,
119. 10:47options, UI. I think that's pretty much it. So,  and if we really need to go into the last details,
120. 10:55in case you wonder how what my graphics settings  looks like, then I am currently while recording
121. 11:00this video, I am using this resolution here,  which is 2K. I have enabled vertical sync. I have
122. 11:06uh auto detect on low latency antialyzing. I'm  using imagebased technologies. And then I have
123. 11:11just chosen CMA2. I run with base quality on 10.  Maybe if I do raids or Altech Valley, I might set
124. 11:18it down to five. Uh but that's what why you could  use this one here. So you can automatically go
125. 11:22down to five for you to better get a better frame  rate. But basically, I'm using this. And in case
126. 11:27you want bit more frame rate and you have really  bad frame rate, then you know if you disable
127. 11:32shadows, put it from ultra high to low. That's  going to do really big uh difference. One of
128. 11:37the small things that can do a big difference for  you. And also the view distances down here. These
129. 11:42options here normally I don't really touch them. I  use the default here, default here, default here,
130. 11:46default here. DRX12, physical interaction. I  currently have it on player only, but I don't
131. 11:52really know if I want to do it on one. One very  important thing that could maybe save your game
132. 11:58is that you have to choose your graphic card. Some  people they have sometimes a graphic card on their
133. 12:02CPU and their graphic card and sometimes it plays  on your CPU and you get very bad performance. So
134. 12:08try check this one here. Maybe you're actually  playing on the wrong graphic card and you're going
135. 12:12to get so much more frame rate. Then regarding  uh frame rate, you don't want to have more frame
136. 12:19rate than your screen actually can do. So if  you have one screen where it says, you know,
137. 12:23144 H set hertz, then you don't really want to  go over 144 because everything above it will be
138. 12:32waste. It will just be your CPU wasting uh like  power because but but your screen cannot see it.
139. 12:38So, what I would recommend is play with whatever  resolute like hertz that you can do on your screen
140. 12:44or else you're just like wasting. I have 144  in this screen here, but because I'm recording,
141. 12:49I kept it to 60 to make sure I have enough frame  rate. So, yeah, but I I have the settings here.
142. 12:54I don't use the target one, but I use the max and  foreground on 60. But when I don't record and not
143. 13:00streaming, then I play on 144. And I think that's  essentially uh the settings there. So, I don't
144. 13:08think there is more that I can talk about in this  video. I think that is literally everything. Now,
145. 13:13if you if you're playing with the same settings as  me, you're basically playing the game as I do, and
146. 13:18your screen should be looking like mine. So, yeah.  Thanks for watching. Have a great day. Again, the
147. 13:23UI codes, you can find them in the Discord. But  else, I'll see you in another video. Peace out.
