Description
SkyridingUI is a lightweight, customizable addon that provides a comprehensive interface for tracking all aspects of Skyriding (Dragonriding) in World of Warcraft. Designed to replace bulky WeakAuras, it offers a clean, efficient alternative with extensive customization options.
Core Features:
- Flight Speed Display: Real-time percentage tracker showing your current flying speed with color-coded indicators (blue during Thrill of the Skies buff, green otherwise)
- Ability Charge Tracking: Individual bars displaying charges for Skyward Ascent and Surge Forward abilities with distinct states (full, charging, empty)
- Acceleration Indicator: Visual feedback bar showing whether you're gaining speed (green) or decelerating (red)
- Whirling Surge Duration Tracker: 30-second countdown bar displaying remaining buff time
- Second Wind Monitor: Compact bars above the main UI showing Second Wind charges (up to 3 charges)
Customization Options:
Players can tailor the UI to their preferences through an extensive options menu (/sui options):
- Element Visibility Toggles: Show/hide individual components (speed bar, charge bars, acceleration bar, surge bar, Second Wind bars) - the UI dynamically resizes based on visible elements
- UI Scaling: Precise scale control from 0.5x to 2.0x with fine increments
- Color Customization: Full RGB color picker for charge bar states (full, charging, empty) with hex input support
- Background Controls: Optional main background with adjustable opacity, plus separate charge bar background toggles
- Position Freedom: Unlockable, draggable frame that can be positioned anywhere on screen with saved positioning
Smart Behavior:
- Automatically shows only when mounted on a Skyriding mount in flyable areas
- Hides instantly upon dismounting or entering no-fly zones (dungeons, battlegrounds)
- Robust visibility detection that works even during fast action sequences (casting immediately after dismounting)
- Minimal performance impact with efficient event-based updates
SkyridingUI enhances your Skyriding gameplay by consolidating critical information into a single, clean interface. Whether you're racing through Dragon Isles zones, exploring Khaz Algar, or speed-running through The War Within content, you'll have instant visual feedback on all your abilities and momentum. The modular design means you can display only the information you need. Hide the acceleration bar if you don't care about deceleration, remove Second Wind tracking if you don't use that ability, or keep everything visible for maximum awareness.
Commands:
/sui options- Open configuration menu/sui lock/unlock- Lock or unlock the frame for repositioning/sui reset- Reset all settings to defaults
Perfect for players who want clean, informative UI elements without the overhead of WeakAuras, or those looking for a more optimized Skyriding experience with full control over what they see on screen.
