Version: r10

by: Aranarth [More]

This data broker plugin:

- swaps your talent spec (and gear set) when clicked.
- suppresses chat spam caused by a spec switch.
- sets aliases (leave blank to remove).
- associates an Equipment Manager Set to the current spec.
- mirrors changes made with Blizzard's Equipment Manager.
- toggles the talent frame when right-clicked.
- provides an easy to use interface.

and other minor customizations and utilities...

Supports the following addons:
- AddonLoader (reduces load screen time).
- TipTac (SpecSwitcher mimic its appearence).

r10
- Fixed gear switch (was delayed or prevented).
- Fixed default huge size for high res (was not using UIParent as parent).

r9
- Rewrote gear association and alias interfaces for 4.1 compat.
- Added: Shift+Click a gear set or a spec with an associated gear set to equip it.
- Added: MouseWheel on tooltip to change scale.
- Reacts on Blizzard's equipment manager "Delete" and "Change Name/Icon" actions (mirrors).
- Attempt to mimic TipTac look if you have TipTac.

r8
- Took advantage of the gear manager interface to provide a user friendly way to (dis)associate gear.
- Added a dialog box to edit aliases.
- Within that dialog box you have the option to use the associated gear's icon & name instead.
- Shift+Click (gear manager) and Control+Click (alias editor) can now edit your off-spec using Shift+RightClick and Control+RightClick.
- Changed tooltip to be clear and concise.
- Fixed following issue: if your spec switch cast failed to complete, the associated gear was still equiped.
- Attempted to fix rare issues: gear set not equipping and/or chat spam not blocked

Tell your display to not show the text for this plugin

Khaira A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 43 Uploads: 0	Would it be at all possible to choose an icon for each spec? My main is a druid, specced Bear/Cat so both specs show the Feral Combat icon and it's impossible to see on first glance which is the active one. I don't want to clutter the display by showing the numbers too.

EDIT: r3 introduces aliases. Control+click to set one. Leave blank to remove an alias. Note that aliases are stored in two different groups, so you can have an alias for primary "00/60/11" --> "Bear" and an alias for secondary "00/60/11" --> "Cat".

That's odd. Is it happening every time you log ? Zoning too ?

Thank you for the detailed error report. It's fixed in r6.

Funkydude may have forgotten something in the changelog because there's no error with 2.60 and 2.61 only update the ToC file.

Laurent A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 2 Uploads: 1	I'm having issues with my Aliases not saving. I can set a name for a current spec such as "Retribution" and it stays through logging and etc. but as soon as I switch from the spec the and then back to it my alias will default to blank and it'll show the ##/##/## instead of the alias. Am I doing something wrong? __________________

One issue since Tuesday's maintenance, is that it seems the chat spam is back. __________________ Masque: Renaitre, SharedMedia: Renaitre and DHUD4
