ncHoverBind

Version: 1.4.2b

by: nightcracker, Coote

Now maintained by TMcMahon51. See thread here.

ncHoverBind is a simple addon that does one thing: binding buttons on mouseover. You can mouse over actionbuttons, spells in the spellbook and macro's in the macro pane and bind them while hovering. You can bind keys, mousebuttons 4 and 5 and the scrollwheel with this addon. If you made a mistake in binding, you can just press "Discard" and your old bindings are loaded. Real simple!

Usage:
Download and install. To start use either /hb or /hoverbind. Hover over buttons, spells or macro's and press a key, scroll with the mouse or press mousebutton 4 or 5. After you've bound your spell/items/macro's press "Save bindings" and your done!
If you use HealBot, use /hvb instead.

I get the save or discard thing on /hb but that is all it ever does. perhaps the current and the other version you linked do not work yet. Or this never worked with Bartender4? I love the idea! the way Bliz still makes us go to some scroll forever maybe you will find what you need key-bind list, if we want to do anything, is just stupid. Thanks for your effort!

TBH, I have never tested it with BT4, nor have I ever used it with BT4 in the past, since BT has nearly the same function built in. It'll be about 2 weeks before I start playing again to be able to really test it, though.

BT4 has nearly the same function? Hmmm I have not found that, I'll have to investigate further.

-- Update

Wow, i'm blind! big button in the main UI. I guess I was expecting to see something in the LDB menu flyout.

Razko A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	This is weird but it seems to "lag" with modifiers sometimes. What I mean exactly is, if you're trying to hotkey something like say shift+1, and you do it very quickly, it registers only 1 as the bind, not shift+1. Sometimes I can replicate this, sometimes I can't. I discovered this while just normally binding stuff by the way, so it's not like I was trying extra hard to be too fast. This happened just during normal use. EDIT: Figured it out. It's because of this: Code: bind:SetScript("OnKeyUp", function(self, key) self:Listener(key) end) It's not uncommon that by the time you release 1, you're not holding shift down anymore, even though you do press shift+1 and the game registers it like that. Changing it to OnKeyDown makes it work flawlessly. I got another question though: why don't you support middle mouse button binds? And will this addon work with more mouse buttons than 4 and 5, e.g. Naga for example? EDIT2: Support for middle mouse button: 1. Comment out this line Code: or key == "MiddleButton" 2. Add Code: if key == "MiddleButton" then key = "BUTTON3" end directly above these Code: if key == "Button4" then key = "BUTTON4" end if key == "Button5" then key = "BUTTON5" end 3.

Will be done in the next version. Thanks for the input.

I added in some test support for the Naga, and the Steelseries WoW mouse at one point, though wasn't able to actually test it myself, and never got any responses back from the person supposed to test it. I believe all that is needed is to add up to Button14 or 15 or however are on it, assuming WoW sees those buttons as mouse keys, rather than keyboard binds. If it sees them as binds from the keyboard, rather than the mouse, it should already work by default.

I'm not entirely certain why it was never supported, and since I never thought of rebinding the middle mouse button myself, it never occurred to me to change it. Can have that changed in the next version, as well.

m97 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Great add-on, exactly what i was looking for, but i found that i can't key bind pet action bar buttons and stances properly, i'm quite new to lua but i managed to fix it (i think?): replace this: Code: else self.button.bindstring = (spellmacro=="STANCE" and "StanceButton" or "BONUSACTIONBUTTON")..self.button.id with this: Code: elseif spellmacro=="PET" then self.button.bindstring = (spellmacro=="PET" and "BONUSACTIONBUTTON")..self.button.id else self.button.bindstring = (spellmacro=="STANCE" and "SHAPESHIFTBUTTON")..self.button.id this seems to be working so you can use this until someone comes up with a better solution Last edited by m97 : 03-18-13 at 07:38 AM.

Xully A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 28 File comments: 160 Uploads: 0	One question about this lovely addon, does this act like the Blizzard key binding window in a way that if I keybind things then go to a different computer, my keybinding will still be there? or do I need to bring the files/WTF with me like vanilla WoW?

Coote A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 440 File comments: 69 Uploads: 12	It uses the in-game binding system, and there is no saved variables. Any keybinds should be saved server-side like they do when you use the Blizzard keybindings menu. __________________ "This is the fifteen-thousandth four hundredth and ninety-eighth occurence".

This is great Coote, but one thing that I noticed is that if I bind things inside the spellbook, which is one thing that I love about the addon too, for example I bind "stats/mark of the wild" buff inside the spellbook, I don't feel the need to put it in the auction bars. but this doesn't go with me to other computers, if you know what I mean.

Look for bindings-cache.wtf in World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SERVERNAME\CHARACTERNAME and make a copy of it. __________________ "This is the fifteen-thousandth four hundredth and ninety-eighth occurence".

Coote A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 440 File comments: 69 Uploads: 12	I just tested it out, and it works fine for me. I did notice that I screwed up last time I uploaded, though. Rename the folder from ncHoverBind - Copy to just ncHoverBind. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably an issue with the bar mod you're using. __________________ "This is the fifteen-thousandth four hundredth and ninety-eighth occurence".

I just bumped the TOC up to keep it clean in the addon panel. Not everybody likes having to load "Out of Date" addons.
