,I have been playing Turtle Wow for some time now on my Steam Deck and have been tinkering with it trying to make a good working UI and think i managed to do it. It has 30+ actionbuttons and 2 pages that can be switched using L2/R2.
For now because i have not a lot of time i made a quick guide for it, i plan to make a more expansive guide here on how to do the whole proces. including a basic setup guide. So for now it assumes you know how to install and add Turtle wow to steam.
The steps below will explain the proces to get the same UI+controls, the file holds the addons used + config files (addon/WTF folder)
You can see it working here:
(edit 10-04) I Created a step by step video to make it easier, sorry about the TTS voice but mine is worse
: (edit 16-04) Here is Version 2, it has 40+buttons and also the first page changes when you shapeshift/stance change:
New: Download V2.1:
https://github.com/Ryac1/Ryac_TW_Steamdeck_UI
mirror: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3woglq64 ... 2.rar/file
This holds my interface folder with used addons + WTF folder with config,addons and character files.
I recommend watching the video for the steps, this is easier to follow and more up to date.
- I assume you know how the download Turtle wow and place it in a folder (home for ex.) in desktop mode and then add it to Steam (steam- add non steam game- select turtle wow.exe file and set compatibility to proton 7.06.)
- put the files in the interface/addons folder and in the WTF folder(allow it to overwrite the files).
- in Steam make sure the rename the game name to "World of Warcraft"
- Search for my controller layout and use it, should be called "Ryac's template DAB TW" ( you can only see this if you renamed the game correctly, might take a few minutes)
- go to desktop mode and into your Turtle wow folder.
- In "WTF\Account" you will see 2 folders, your account name(if you logged in once) and XXXXX, remove your account name folder and rename folder XXXXX to your account name (think it needs to be in caps).
- Then you might need to start up once and create a character, remember character name.
- In "WTF\Account\(youraccountname)\Turtle WoW" rename one of the "xxxxx1" folders to your character name.
- Now when you go in game it "Should" look the same and work since you are using my settings and mod list.
- It is possible it does not load settings correctly (bars not correct and keychain artframe in middle of screen), you can type in game: '/dab' then go to 'Misc Options' then under 'load profile' select 'Ryac2'
- When creating a new character you need to rename a xxxxx folder again to the characters name.
- Use 'Steam+X' buttons to open keyboard (typing '/ ' will start chat, for instance to turn off instance spam type '/lft spam'' )
- L2 and R2 can be used to switch button pages.
- L1 and R1 are using the middle two buttons
- Bar 1 (with starter spells) will show up on the left side (this was the only way to make it work) so you can drag those spells onto your bars below. Left side bar hotkeys can be pressed with your thumb.
- Check my video and imagine 2 Plusses(corrosponding to d-pad and ABYX buttons) and 2 buttons(L1/R1) in the middle, that is where you can place spells. you can also press the buttons to see which buttons light up. it looks like this: + - - +
- Left trackpad has a menu with some shortcuts, right trackpad is mouse + (left)click
- Left Thumbstick is movement, right stick is camera (touching stick is right click, sometimes it does not respond just retouch it, also mouse cursor will jump back to middle screen when touching, this is done on purpouse to not drag spells off the left bar)
- Select is map and when holding is zoom in
- Start is menu and when holding zoom out
- When you want to add spells the the L2/R2 pages you need to hold down L2 or R2 first and then drag buttons, when you drag the spell first you can't switch pages anymore until you left go of click.
- The top right back button is right click (to interact/loot), the left side backbuttons are bags and character panel, bottom right is jump
- i made a macro for attack nearest enemy and place it on L1 on the action bar, not sure if it will add my macros, otherwise you need to create one
- If you need to use Shift button for anything, you can hold the bag button (back trigger top left), since this has a bind shift+b)
- In a recent Steam Deck update they changed it so you can switch your keyboard to the top of the screen ( so it does not block chat ) you can do this by holding L2 + the bottom right arrow on the keyboard (you can see it switch when you hold R2)
- for warriors and other single spell classes, when buying new ranks (heroic strike for ex.) it will remove the button for bar for some reason, you need to do a reload once to fix it
- Druid/Warior/Rogue bars do not switch to new bars when changing stance/stealth (fixed in Version 2)
- It is possible it does not load settings correctly (bars not correct and keychain artframe in middle of screen), you can type in game: '/dab' then go to 'Misc Options' then under 'load profile' select 'Ryac2'
When i have more time i will make a new video on how to set up a new character the first time without renaming a folder and maybe a whole setup video.
