[How To] Remove the gryphons of your actionbar - STEP BY STEP.

[Scarecr0w]

Heya G's out there

I've been wondering why I've never found any addon that simply just removes the gryphons on the sides of your actionbar. Yes, in my opinion they look like sh1t and I think the blow - HARD.

So I've worked out a new way to remove the gryphons yourself, by making an addon. This guide will teach you how to do it step by step. It's not very hard, and will only take MAX 5 minutes. Have fun!


Step 1: First off, you want to make a folder in your World of Warcraft addon's folder (C:\Programs\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns), you can call it anything you like - I simply just called it "MyAddon".

Step 2: Inside the new folder you made, you create 2 files, MyAddon.toc and MyAddon.lua. You can do this simply by making a .txt file and rename the last bit to .toc and .lua.

Step 3: You open MyAddon.toc with notepad or any other text program, and inside it you type this:

## Interface: 30000
## Title: MyAddon
## Notes: My very own addon!
## Author: Me!
MyAddon.lua



Hit safe and close it.

Step 4: Then you open up the MyAddon.lua with notepad or any other text program - and type in all of this:

-- Do this when I enter the world
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
f:SetScript("OnEvent",function(event, ...)
-- hide errors caused by addons
SetCVar("scriptErrors","0")
-- camera now shows up to 50yrd and not only 35yrd
ConsoleExec("cameraDistanceMax 50")
-- set max FPS to 70, and limit fps down to 30 when WoW is minimized (saves GPU/CPU)
SetCVar("maxFPS","70")
SetCVar("maxFPSBk","30")
-- hide gryphons when I login
local g1, g2 = MainMenuBarLeftEndCap, MainMenuBarRightEndCap;
if g1 and g2 then
g1:Hide()
g2:Hide()
end
end)



Hit safe and close it.

Step 5: Close World of Warcraft if you have it up running. Re-open it and have fun.




Sincerly,

Wrong section, should go to Macros / UI or whatever.
Otherwise, nice guide, even tho it covers more than just gryphons :P

[Scarecr0w]

Yeah abit - not much though.
Could anyone move this, PLEASE?

[warsheep]

Not that it's very likely, but wouldn't it be better to write
if g1 or g2 then
instead of an and statement? Not that it's very likely to be a problem, but if only one
gryphon shows up, then this wouldn't activate, would it?

Anyway, this was one of the good posts I've seen lately, and I really liked the max
background FPS and stuff.

Also, to get mods to move your thread, try to report it yourself, at least it will get the attention.

+Rep
(Also, could you include a download link for this, to make it even easier for people? >.<)

Unexpected to see my guide posted here, but that's just great. I hope more people will learn about the "background fps" cvar and use it, hehe. gj mate! I am glad someone finds the posts I make on the wow-europe UI forums useful! ^_^
