Title: How to change ingame UI resolution?
Post by: dobidoberman1 on March 15, 2014, 01:35:04 pm

Hello Modcraft!


I'm wondering about a possibility to increase the Arena UI panel resolution to make it so it'll cover the entire monitor. My question is: If this can be achieved and also how?


Thanks

You will need modifications in Interface/FrameXML for that. Also maybe a new texture. If you only need it bigger but not beautiful, a quick hack would be modifying the height of the frame in XML only.

May I request some further guidance due that I never messed with client modification. What MPQ do I need to extract? which directory is it and etc.

PS: Thanks Schlumph, big fan... big fan and also I just wants it to be bigger that's all

Do the steps in Modcraft Tutorial part 2.
Extracting the clientfiles. This way you have always latest file at your fingertips.

Then dig into the interface folder structure.

It's a little Off topic but here are some LUA Commands to change Scale of InGame interface (TEMPORAL)

Code: [Select]

/run MainMenuBar:SetScale(1)
/run PlayerFrame:SetScale(1)
/run TargetFrame:SetScale(1)(1) = Scale modifier ( 1 = 100% , 2 = 200% , etc..)

Code: [Select]

/run print(GetMouseFocus():GetName()) This will print name of UI part that you are mousing over by cursor so you can try to use this printed name with

Code: [Select]

:SetScale(1) .. may it be usefull ..
