==== Installation ====
Preword:
Installation is simple but works only 1 way. So if you do any steps wrong
it won't work. Take your time and carefully read the install guide to get
the beta to work the first try.
Step 1 -- Getting ready:
Rename your Interface and WTF folders to:
- Interface_old
- WTF_old
this will make sure you have a good backup in case you dont like reborn ui.
Simply remove any reborn content and rename the folders back to use your
old ui again.
!!! DO NOT COPY ANY REBORN FILES JUST YET !!!
Run the game with Launcher.exe
You will notice that wow is running at default starting with the intro. This
is good. Login with the character you want to install reborn ui for.
Hit ESC and go to video options.
Set your resolution to : 1280 x 1024 (any other resolution is not supported in this first beta)
Exit the game.
Go to your World of warcraft folder and go into WTF
- World of Warcraft\WTF
Open Config.wtf with WORDPAD (if you dont use windows use any other kind of reader that can open text files)
Find the following line :
SET uiScale
It has a number behind it. Select the entire line and replace it with:
SET uiScale "0.69999998807907"
This is your ingame ui scaling.
Step 2 -- Copying and installing reborn v5 beta 1
Copy The following folders to World of Warcraft\
Interface
WTF
Fonts
(on any popups by windows stating a overwrite message click continue)
Go into the WTF folder. If done correctly you will see an Account folder in it.
enter the account folder : World of Warcraft\WTF\Account
You will see a folder called : ACCOUNTNAME
Change the name to your account name. (not character name or realmname)(change it to the name you type at the login screen when starting wow)
enter the folder : World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME
You will see a folder called : Realmname
Change the name to your Realmname.
enter the folder : World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\Realmname
You will see a folder called : Character name
Change the name to the character you want to install reborn for. ( installation for alts is discribed further below)
Do not enter the folder but go back 1 step.
Enter the folder : SavedVariables (World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables\)
Open the file called : DiscordArt.lua ( with notepad or any kind of programm that can read text files)
Go to EDIT - Find or hit CRTL + F
Find the following line : ["Charactername : Realmname"] = "Default",
Replace Charactername with your Character name
REplace Realmname with your Realm name
Step 3 -- Completing the installation.
Run the game.
If all steps are done correctly the ui will work fine.
