Redmist back with a tutorial requested many times!

kgPanels!!!

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/kg-panels.aspx

This mod can be used to create custom artwork in World of Warcraft around your map, buttons, userpanels, pretty much anywhere - but its also a pain to get right. So, I've created a tutorial to show you how!

You will need some transparent .tga art work to play with (you need to figure this out yourself, hunt for tutorials on line or use mine as a base) - I've created some of my own, used some from other mods (all thanks to those authors) and modified others - I've uploaded some for you here:

Please note, when playing with your own textures in WoW, you MUST make sure they are powers of two in size. For example 128x128, 256x256 or 256x512 are all sizes that will load - if its random sizes you will see nothing in the game - its how the software works!

Once you have your artwork and kgPanels is installed, you can follow this tutorial. Watch it carefully - I will not answer too many questions on this mod, the tutorial is complete and works well - I tested it on another machine.

I hope this helps make the game interface exactly how you want it - for shaman out there - take a look at totemholder.tga - use a totem mod that lets you see your totems as buttons anywhere on the screen and place this round them for a cool effect.

Check out my blog entry about this:

Cheers everyone!

@RuuffusDesign what a stupid and childish comment RuuffusDesign. Pointless and ultimately showing your foolishness.

What is the name of that chat addon?

[Beholder505]

I'm getting frustrated with this addon. I finally got the textures in, but when they go on to my screen, its locked. I've unlocked the panel, but it just stays there. And I get a "failed to load" message.
