Options

UnitUI

• Disable BardUI++ UnitUI to show the default UnitUI
• Clicking on your level (bottom left of the portrait) will toggle the Ability Queue System (default hotkey is L)
• The yellow border around your gold means that you're able to shop (if its not yellow, the items you buy will go into your stash).
• Ctrl+Right-Click to swap an item to your stash (only when near the base shop).
• Ctrl+Shift+Right-Click to sell an item (can be done from anywhere).
• You can also buyback by shift + left clicking your gold (the tooltip shows the buyback amount).
• You can target skills and items on your portrait.
• Most of the options speak for itself
• Options that affects your inventory also affects your Stash.
• When disabling the 3D portrait it will only show the unit's icon.
• The Fast Share button will automatically be toggled on if you hide the SelfUI (and the death timer and buyback button will also show up on your UnitUI). When you disable the UnitUI there will be an movable Fast Share button.
• The pH and mH values are Physical Effective HP and Magical Effective HP. These values are calculated from your current HP and your physical and magical armor values.
• The UnitUI and your Inventory are individually movable. Stats will always be aligned left of your UnitUI.

Ability Queue System
The first number is the amount of free skill points you have, if this is higher then 0 it will have an orange border and a glowing effect.
The other buttons are LevelUp buttons for your stats and the rest of your skills.

The panel will automatically hide if you have no free skill points, so to queue abilities you need to toggle it.
This can be done by either clicking on your level at bottom left of the portrait or using the default hotkey which is L.
When you toggle the Ability Queue System and you have no free skill points to spend, clicking on the LevelUp buttons will queue you abilities.
Right clicking an ability will add a persistent skill block (this is indicated by an orange border) which will stay there until the skill has been maxed.
Clicking a skill block in the queue above the LevelUp buttons will remove it from the queue.

See one of the screenshots for an example, in this example you will max your ultimate first, then your first, then your second, then your third skill and as last your stats, this way you have all your abilities and stats queued up with only 5 skill blocks. This is possible because if a persistent skill block cannot be leveled up when you get another skill point, it will look at the next one until one is found that can be leveled up.

Future Plans:

[normal] Bug fixes and feature requests.
[unknown] Add stealth indicator (unknown until S2 gives us some kind of stealth check)
[unknown] Team UI, Add skill tooltips (unknown until S2 makes this information available in a more convenient way)

Other notes:

• This mod includes a bug fix in Movable Frames involving the alignment of a movf_label instance. This fix is global, meaning it applies to all mods who use movf_label instances.
• This mod includes an update to Movable Frames involving the outline feature of a movf_label instance. This update is also global, meaning it applies to all mods who use movf_label instances.
• This mod includes a bug fix in Mod Options Framework involving saving variables on first use. This fix is global, meaning it applies to all mods who use Mod Options Framework. (see this post for more information)
• This mod includes another bug fix for Mod Options Framework involving remembering the state of a category header being collapsed or not. Pressing F10 twice would reset the state. This fix is also global, meaning it applies to all mods who use Mod Options Framework.
• When changing an option that involves a dropdown box use your up & down arrow keys to choose and use enter to select it. This is due to a (design) bug in the Mod Options Framework (see this post for more information).

Mini ui not compatible with this...

[[NoNu]sicu]

Having some issues with this after going from v0.96 to .97.
Cannot see pings on minimap and also some weird growth issue on buff icons every now and again. This is most likely some kind of lag on the popping effect in enhanced buff icons, but this only happens after upgrading to BardUI++. Other than that, great work so far =]

I don't use MiniUI, so didn't know about it.

Updated BardUI++ to be compatible with MiniUI. (not via auto-update, redownload the hon mod in the first post)
Now MiniUI needs to do the same.
Use this MiniUI version temporarly v1.34: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5648227/barduipp/MiniUI.honmod

It has some bugs though, like the fast share button is always visible.

I'll look into the pings, they seem screwed up idd.

And buffs icons can also not be related to this, because I removed them completely from BardUI++.

You're right, just had another game and buff icons worked fine, must've been something else.

Seems that all pings are relocated to a tiny square at the bottom left of the minimap:

The reborn of BardUI

Will try it asap

Thank you Sir.


PS. Off-topic, hope it won't bother.
Since Bard_Buff is gone, mind if I ask for some modification help?

How do I change eBuff to this old Bard_Buff?
Removing the "s" and lower the spacing between buffs.

When you uncheck 'Use overhead timer' (in the Mod Options of Enhanced Buff Icons) the time will be on the icon.

[[ByUM]Thermalwolf]

How can I move the team UI down to the bottom of the screen like old Bard UI. The option isn't their anymore. Saddens me so

Seriously, just because its not on the picture doesnt mean its not there. I suggest you read the whole post before saying something.

Especially this line:
Added Moveable Frames support to minimap, miss buttons, buffs bars and VoIP sliders. Team UI is now movable via movable frames (and movable frames only) disable/enable the groups (1x4 or 2x2) you like and move them around freely.

Love your screenshot with mega details
