Rob’s Guide to Not Sucking: Part Two

So, this has taken me like four months to write. It’s pretty unhelpful, but I had already completed 99% of it and wanted to clear it out of the editing queue in wordpress. So, I know you are all salivating over the prospect of part two to my guide to not sucking. Let’s begin!
So, now [...]

Rob’s Guide to Not Sucking: Part Too

So, I decided to jump ahead in our little fire-side chat about not being terrible at making/presenting UIs to the community. I’m going to leave the substance of making a UI to the third post, because I’m really lazy…and it’s probably the most important post of the three. Well, that’s not really true. The most [...]

Video Tutorial: Discord Unit Frames Part 1

This is part one of a two part tutorial using Discord Unit Frames. This tutorial is a cursory glance at the options menu, as well as some tips for not becoming overwhelmed by DUF. The next installment will be the creation of some Unit Frames using DUF. That will likely be pretty long, as creating [...]

Forums!

**If you read some garbage here about using the forums isntead of comments…um…that was like the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. I’m not doing that – each post is like its own thread in a forum…no reason to replicate it elsewhere**

Tutorial Video: Background Art, Featuring eePanels

Well, it’s been about 900 years in the making, but I’ve finally produced something of an eePanels tutorial video. The intro to the movie was meant with good intentions, but it turned out a lot less awesome than I had anticipated. I am, however, too lazy to fix it. There is an actual problem with [...]

UI Tutorial: eePanels – Part 1

Well – I know it’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally put together something I’m comfortable releasing to everyone. It’s part one of my eePanels tutorial. I will be putting together a video tutorial that goes through setting up a gradient forest like you’ve seen in Ryas’ UI and Caith’s UI. That might [...]

Tutorial Video: Unitframes, Featuring Pitbull

Before I get into the meat of the tutorial, I wanted to start out with this:
I greatly appreciate all of the work that the mod authors put into their particular mods. Without such a willing, generous and talented coding community Warcraft would be much less of a game. I can, in no uncertain terms, say [...]

Announcing: Mod Video Tutorials!

After spending some time in the UI/Macros forum, I think the community needs some tutorials on basic things to do with mods. I’m currently developing a series of videos that will go through the steps of constructing a UI using some of the more popular mods. Hopefully the tutorials will benefit some folks when they’re [...]
