GW2 UI

GW2 UI is a meticulously crafted interface replacement that aims to increase immersion, as well as efficiency, without relying on dependencies.

The entire UI is hand-painted, and hand-coded, to provide the best experience possible for players. Each interface element has been (or will be) rewritten, to provide enhanced functionality as well as improve the user experience, over the default UI.

This UI is designed for players who want a quick-and-easy, plug-and-play interface that returns focus to the game world, not spreadsheets.

FEATURES

• Hand-painted, dynamic interface art
• Clean and user-friendly design
• Hand-painted class power icons, with improved animations
• Brand new, immersive questing interface
• Redesigned and improved inventory interface
• Brand new and enhanced quest tracker, complete with tracking compass and boss frames

KNOWN ISSUES

Not compatible with the "Paste" addon (action bars will appear empty). This may also occur if you are using older versions of the "StrataFix" addon. There is a new version from "Paste" which works with this UI: Paste working version

Mythic+ Dungeons causing a lot of LUA errors

Will update if I receive copies of the errors. Was reported by a reddit user.

Spec and talents locked until level 10

Trying to change spec before level 10 results in an internal error. The default UI has this functionality locked until level 10.

HUD showing under pet battle/vehicle UI

Title.

talent panel glyphs

The new/WIP talent panel does not show which spells have glyphs applied (or even apply glyphs, I think).

cannot right-click remove buffs in combat

https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/gw2-ui/issues/40

Suggestion: fade all the UI

I love this addon and appreciate the massive undertaking it must have been to rewrite the UI. The one thing That would make it perfect for me as an immersive UI would be to have all the UI fade out of combat. The way you currently have the bottom bars fade option.

I may ty to fork this to see if I can hack my way through, but haven’t coded in lua before, so we’ll see haha.

Thanks again for an amazing addon!

Vehicle UI not showing skills

When the vehicle bar is updated with new skills, they won't show and are not able to be activated with hotkeys. (Illidan story quest is a big one).

add "deposit all" option to main bag window when bank is avail

show current raid size/mode somewhere

The default UI shows an indicator of the current raid mode/size on the minimap. We need to replicate this functionality somewhere.

Licensing - Can this be better defined?

Love the addon, seriously great work. My wife uses it and I wanted to but. Unfortunately it's missing a good few things in order for me to be happy as a fulltime UI.

That being said, I want to contribute to it's development and / or create a personal fork for what I would like to add (assuming it's not fit for core). But, Curse labels the project as 'All Rights Reserved' yet, it's hosted here on GitHub. Then, there's no readme or licensing information here on the code. There's no information about contributing and copyright information for contributors, etc.

Can we get a clearer picture of how this is actually licensed and a contributors guide?

Thanks!

Automatically accepted quests break quest window

It can be reproduced on hunting quests in Northern Stranglethorn. It basically causes the quest window to appear and accept/decline buttons are unclickable.

flyout spell buttons unusable while actionbar fading is enabled

For example when I click Teleport I can't reach the new buttons with my mouse because the actionbar fades away as soon as the cursor leaves it.

add fade/mouseover to the main menu bar in upper-left

allow right-click in char preview pane to move char like default paperdoll does

Plugin development support

Hi,

I've started using this wonderful GUI addon last night and missed a few features. Thought I'd just write a plugin, but I was either too tired to remember how to actually do it or just too stupid to manage, so I ended up adding some 20 lines to the UI and it works just fine. Is there a good way of making a plugin for this addon?

tracker doesn't show timer for timed scenarios

This happens at least in the "The Deaths of Chromie" scenario

Usable quest items are not scrolling with quest tracker

Usable quest items next to the quest in tracker are not scrolling.

add auto-spec/spec-assignment option to outfits

also there's no indicator of whether an outfit is the current/equipped outfit and no way to change name

Chat bubbles appear under nameplates

With the new chat bubbles, they appear under the nameplate when using a nameplate addon like TidyPlates. (Also the chatbubble tail is missing.)

Feature Request: Objective tracker World Quest Group Finder support

https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/worldquestgroupfinder

Right now it is usable but with some limitations.
This addon adds some buttons to the objective tracker, which are obviously missing in GW2_UI.

quest tracker QoL/default features

There are a couple of small QoL things the default quest tracker does that we "take away" with our tracker for no particular reason. Allowing active quest selection, shift+left-click to quickly untrack a quest, and numbered labels that match the map markers are a few that I remember off the top of my head that we should be able to easily incorporate into our version of the tracker.

Feature suggestion: multiple actionbars

Having the option for multiple actionbars (like in the default UI). It would be great if I could switch between actionbars.

show multiple WQs on quest tracker

Need to change quest tracker layout a bit to support showing multiple/selected WQ's like the default UI does.

add an indicator to talent panel that a spell is off the GCD

Vehicle indicator on the right side clashes with quest tracker.

Vehicle indicator clashes with quest tracker. It is positioned infront of the quest tracker and is rather annoying. It should most likely be moved somewhere.

v4.2.1 Minimap Button Show/Hide Issues

The new show hide button for the minimap is currently awkwardly placed(directly over the garrison/order hall report button). Easily fixable by either making it moveable or moving it directly above the calendar button

An additional issue is that it it also hides Handynotes minimap markers, after showing then hiding the buttons.

pet battle chat tab is not styled

pet spec frame taint issue for WIP talents

36x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn 'GW2_UI' tried to call the protected function 'GwPetSpecFrame1:Show()'.

GW2_UI\character/talents.lua:485: in function <GW2_UI\character/talents.lua:479>

reputation keybind (U by default) does not open rep tab of char panel

Frequent quest tracker updates cause considerable FPS drop

QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event is called really often and triggers quest tracker updating. Consider using UNIT_QUEST_LOG_CHANGED, it seems to be much more fps friendly. Also are all the quest events needed?

"However, if you are ONLY interested in tracking QUEST-related information (accepting quests, abandoning quests, achieving quest progress, and completing quests), there's a better event: UNIT_QUEST_LOG_CHANGED."

quest tracker boss bar overlaps stuff

The boss bars on the quest tracker often overlap other parts of the tracker and cannot be clicked reliably.

One suggestion - swing timers

It is recommended that you add a normal attack timing bar that controls the display, including the right and left hand

option to toggle repair icon or tie it to health globe

Some people with certain UI elements disabled (main action bar/health globe I assume?) report still seeing the GW2 repair icon. Need to add this as a separate toggle option or at least tie it to one of the primary frame states (probably health globe).

Mythic+ Dungeon timer

Bar counts down, but the numerical timer stays at 00:00.

add option to swap mini-map location to top

quest tracker needs WQ group finder button

add buff bar as a movable frame similar to pet bar functionality

completely broke in 7.2

recent patch broke several parts of this

hovering over the mini bar no longer displays the tool tips
Hud size resets on load
reloading in game completely breaks the addon and results in none of it working

Prospecting causes tainting issue

Title. Was reported by a reddit user.

add currency window to char panel when not using our bags

When our custom bag stuff is not in use there is no way for a player to get to their currency information. This should be added to the character panel where people normally expect to find it (optionally, we might only add it to the char panel when the GW2 bags are disabled).

figure out PvP talents

Need to determine how to handle PvP talents. There was talk of a new WIP PvP UI, but BfA changes up PvP talents yet again anyway. Just need to sort out how to tackle this for the talent panel launch.

talent UI does not show talent-based passives in spellbook

Swapping Lonely Winter talent does not update passive list and adds ice lance to the active list twice.

figure out professions

Need to figure out how to incorporate profession skills into the new talent panel.

show current PvP state somewhere

There is no clear indicator of the current PvP state on the UI. Need to add something that lets you know if PvP is enabled or not; probably to the main/action bar art frame. This might morph a bit with BfA/warmode toggling.

fix level ranges for hero classes

DK (and I assume DH) show incorrect level labels on the new talent panel art.

DK should be mapped as: 15->56, 30->57, 45->58, 60->60, 75, 90, 100
Not sure on DH mapping.

support offers/pop-up quests in quest tracker UI

Right now we just immediately show the quest dialog for any auto/offered quests, since they are technically auto-accepted anyway and already in your quest log. The default UI has a quest "offer" section which is a less intrusive notification of an auto accepted quest. I think we should come up with something similar for our quest tracker.

weird border on newly looted items when opening inventory for the first time

This happens only the first time when I open my bags and have new items in it.

multi-passenger mount overlay sits on top of quest tracker

The overlay that shows you what passengers are on your mount (and lets you eject them) sits on top of the quest tracker.

shadow unit frames still do not update powerbars

hud.lua is causing the taint of SUF
GW_PowerBarColorCustom = PowerBarColor;
should be
+GW_PowerBarColorCustom = {}
