First of all load up cosmos*****, hit the configure button and set the Cosmos distribution to Cosmos AlphaNow exit out of cosmos and go to your WoW interface dir (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface) and delete everything in it. Re run Cosmos***** and let it update as normal.

As of right now Cosmos' "second bar" is gone and but the Cosmos DEV's are working on blizzards new "second bar" and making it work the same way Cosmos' old one did. Cosmos's DEV's still have not completely taken out their second bar and it causes errors. This should be fixed very shorty but in the mean time you can disable it yourself.

Go to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\PopNUI and edit the file PopNUI.lua. Go to line 715 and replace

Sea.util.hook("ShapeshiftBar_Update", "PopNUI_ShapeshiftBar_Update", "replace");

with

-- Sea.util.hook("ShapeshiftBar_Update", "PopNUI_ShapeshiftBar_Update", "replace");

Now you're ready to go in game. Once at your character logon screen you must hit the "addons" button in the lower left hand side and enabled all the UI addons you want. Enable all of them even if they say out of date. Hit ok and pick your character you want to log in with. Once in game go to interface options and enable Blizzards left hand second bar. You'll notice this new Blizzard second bar shares the same buttons as Cosmos' popbar rows (if you use popbar). To fix this go to Cosmos' popbar options and set "Button ID Start Page to page 5.

Now all thats left to do is rearrange your ability buttons and macros to the bar slots you had them at previously, you will also have to set your key binds to all these new buttons. The buttons have changed quite drastically, some are going to be changed and some are going to be missing so you are going to have to go over all your keybindings and set them all again.

I hope these instructions are clear enough Good luck.

*update* Turn off Mobile Bags in the MobileFrames Cosmos options so you do not get constant side bar and bag errors.

ooo that worked great, thank you :)

not quite the same...but a lot closer to what I had then what Blizzard provided.

Sure with the bags would 'overlap' like the used to and not be forced to move to the left a bit but oh well :)

Thanks again!

*update*

I do one thing a bit differently. So as to keep everything else up to date, I keep my updating and cleaning turned on, but I made a popnui.lua.nopatch and out in the addons root made a sidebar.nopatch (empty text files) so Cosmos won't overwrite them, but this way when they 'try' to patch, I'll see that they weren't, and can take steps to back them up...see if Cosmos maybe added what I like back...and if not, put the pieces back in :)

how do you edit the POPUNI.lua?

how do you edit the POPUNI.lua?

It's just a text file, I presume notepad would work, but I always use my PFE Editor program, just to be safe, in case it's not Microsquish friendly :)
