BarKeep

Version: 50200.04

by: Platykurtic [More]

BarKeep

** Now with support of bars that only appear on mouseover via the optional BarKeep_BarFader add-on. BarKeep_BarFader can be found in the 'Optional Files' tab. **

Here are the main features:

All the main action buttons can be configured to have from 1-12 buttons.
All the main action bars can be reconfigured to have up to 12 rows, so you can have 6 buttons x 2 rows, 3 buttons by 4 rows etc. This is done still using the Blizzard button code for compatibility.
All the main action bars can be scaled independently of one another.
Stance bar, possess bar, and pet bar can all be relocated to where the user wants them to be.
All bars can be hidden if you want, some using the Blizzard options from the interface menu, others using BarKeep.
The options are configured by a GUI accessed from /barkeep or /bk.
It uses an event / hook based structure for minimal CPU usage.

I want to say thanks to the previous developers of this CleanBar & CleanBarAdvanced since BarKeep would not be possible without their initial help.

So why use BarKeep?

It enables complete rearrangement and scaling of the Blizzard bars and so has some advantages over the traditional bar mod:

It uses Blizzards buttons (and button code). So pretty much it's always compatible if Blizzard make any changes.
Its really light in use - doesn't use a lot of memory and CPU cycles.
It seems pretty stable as a result of the above.
It'll work with cooldown, ranged mods that work with Blizzard buttons and also ButtonFacade with another small mod.

Commands:

/barkeep - show the config screen.
/bk - show the config screen.

FAQ:

I can't see all the bars when I first use the addon. All I see are the '+'s that enable the bar placement? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to set which bars are active or not, just as you would the Blizzard bars.
How do I set the Key Bindings? - Use the Blizzard Key Bindings interface to set the bindings for all the bars.
How do I lock the actions on the bars? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to lock the Blizzard bars.
How do I permanently show the empty buttons? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to show the empty button grid.

Future Plans:

Bug fixes once identified.
A BarKeep_XP optional module to manage the XP bar.
A reconfiguration of the mod to easily allow for additional layout types for the bars. This should be fairly easy to do, it'll just require a some coding in BarKeep.lua and a change to the configuration screen, but could take some time as I'll make the changes slowly and test carefully.

Known Issues:

None.

[Edit] I've coded a potential fix so look for an update in 8 hours or so. I've no way to test the change so feedback on whether it worked would be helpful.

Updated, and it's all where it should be. Thanks!

Feedback on how this is working would be appreciated (note the previous version is archived in case of issues).

It should work well on all other classes even with HToC forced dismounting.

So I downloaded the newest beta you have, replaced the folder in my WoW folder to update it. Loaded up and no change. Deleted the folder in my WoW folder, redownloaded and moved to WoW folder (not replacing since the folder was already deleted).. and same problem.

Totemic Recall button is still stuck along the main action bar.. everything else moves fine but that button will not move up and down, only side to side with the main totem bar.

Only beef I have with the mod. Overall great mod, I'm very happy with it.

Platykurtic A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 156 Uploads: 5	Update to this: 30200.10Beta will likely be released over the next 24-48 hours. I've tested this version on classes other than Shaman and it works well. I'll test it on my baby Shaman tonight and then release it once any kinks are worked out. I'll then need feedback on how it works with grown Shaman. Further update: This new version is working perfectly with 1 totem (including the completion of the quest where the first totem is received). I'll level my Shaman to level 10 to test it with more than 1. If that works perfectly then I'll release it. There are a number of other bugs fixed with this version and a slight restructuring that seems to improve the exit from the vehicle bar while in combat. Since I made those changes I've not been able to break this. Last edited by Platykurtic : 11-10-09 at 02:29 AM.

Platykurtic A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 156 Uploads: 5	That further information is very helpful - thanks! I have sorta tied the totem bar to the stance bar (thinking that you'd only have 1 or the other), so this makes sense. I'll run through all the options in the code - probably making them both quite distinct from each other. Edit: Actually I haven't - they are both distinct from each other - however ... in the UIManageFramePositions code there is some management where Blizzard hides the MultiCastActionBar. This'll be what's causing issues. I'll need to put some code in place to manage this. Further Edit: Figured out the issue and a possible fix. The issue is pretty subtle - Blizzard code hides the TotemBar on entering Ghost Wolf (I've never had a Shaman with a high enough level to have GW) and if BarKeep is forcing the StanceBar hidden then the unhiding doesn't work correctly. The solution is to reparent the TotemBars buttons (actually the MultiCastActionBar's buttons) to a BarKeep frame so they don't disappear as the Blizzard code does its thing. You can then place the TotemBar where you want. I'll post a Beta version of in a day or two, but have almost no easy way to test that its working fine so I'll need some feedback on this.

Unfortunately it is also disappearing during fights... I've had to put the totem call spells onto my bar for emergencies.

It seems to be related to hiding or showing the stance bar, as if I hide or show the stance bar, the totem bar appears. I.e. if the totem bar is gone and the stance bar is hidden, if I un-hide the stance bar the totem bar appears, and if the totem bar is gone, the stance bar is "shown", and I hide the stance bar, the totem bar appears.

Also, sometimes instead of disappearing after a loading screen, the totem bar appears where I have placed the (hidden) stance bar. When I hide or un-hide the stance bar, the totem bar goes back into place.

If I go to the config screen and un-lock and then lock the bars, the Totem Bar returns to my configured position.

Note that this does not happen when I use the reloadui command, so that command will unfortunately not help you test it. [/b]

Thank you for this add-on. It's very clean and nicely done.

Re: Main Bar Issues

Originally posted by Hola
I'm a Druid and everytime I shapeshift to Bear or Cat form my main bar fades. When I shapeshift back it reapears.

That would be very strange. On my Rogue everything works perfectly and Rogues use the same mechanic, so a couple of questions:

1) Do you have any spells on the Bear or Cat bar? BarKeep fades out the main bar but the BonusActionBar replaces it and you need to ensure it has the spells on it (a long time ago you didn't need to as you could click through the BonusActionBar, but this was causing issues with Druids hitting heal spells and shape shifting so this was changed).
2) Are you using the BarKeep_BarFader module?
3) Any other add-ons that touch the bars? Cooldown add-ons etc. More or less this is just for me to check that its not something else.

Re: Mind Control?

Originally posted by terafina
However, on the priest I'm levelling I can't use Mind Control and I don't know if anyone else has reported it? It cancels after about 5 seconds (checked with Blizz bars and works fine), fortunately it doesn't aggro the mob, but I see through the mob's eyes for 5 secs then am back to my priest.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm having a Priest friend check MCing to see if its a problem with BarKeep on his Priest. I'll also do another ToC5 run to see if I can replicate the vehicle bar issue as the last time I ran ToC5 it wasn't an issue for me. More news on this shortly.
