Action Bar Saver 2   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Quick little mod, allows you to setup different profiles for your action bars. Mainly this is for hybrid classes that want to be able to respec without spending 10-20 minutes setting their action bars up. All you do is type /abs save <name> and it'll save the location of all your spells, macros and items.

For example, if you're currently a Feral Druid you can type /abs save feral then you can respec to Resto and setup your bars, then type /abs save resto once you go respec back to Feral you can then train all your spells again and type /abs restore feral and you'll get your feral setup without all the work of actually finding where you placed things.

Works with any custom interface like Bongos provided you're not using more then the standard 120 action buttons, ones that provided features to go past 120 will cause only the standard 120 to be saved/restored. This isn't a bug however, just a limitation in the WoW API

* Agh stop complaining
Author: Shadowed <shadowed.wow@gmail.com>

Date: Sun Apr 5 16:04:50 2009 +0000
* fixed spellRAnk typo

Date: Sat Apr 4 22:25:04 2009 +0000
* Whoops, TOC is supposed to be 30100 not 31000
* Stripped the old Action Bar Saver -> Action Bar Saver 2 conversion code it's been almost a year "should" be fine
* Stripped all of the companion saving for 3.0, it doesn't work half the time and is ugly anyway
* Removed localization.deDE.lua and localization.frFR.lua not like I ever use them
* Actually stripped Ace3 so SVN would commit
* Changed companion saving to use the new Blizzard functions that actually work (And only took like 6 months to work)
* Cleaned up some code in general to be less ugly and weird in general
* Updated TOC to 3.1
* Stripped Ace3, can't remember why I added it in the first place

Date: Thu Jan 8 22:10:31 2009 +0000
* Added debug code if the companion scanning fails, hopefully this will let me narrow down whats causing it to happen (HOPEFULLY)

Date: Mon Jan 5 04:16:33 2009 +0000
* Added support for AddonLoader

Date: Sun Jan 4 17:10:09 2009 +0000
* Added an option to restore the actual spell rank saved, instead of defaulting to the highest rank (/abs rank, restores highest rank by default)

Date: Sun Nov 23 17:02:46 2008 +0000
* Added a check to prevent profiles from being restored in combat
* Since down ranking was removed, we don't really benefit from having lower ranks of spells restored, meaning it will now default to restoring the highest rank, and if that fails it'll restore the rank saved

Date: Thu Oct 30 22:05:14 2008 +0000
* Fixed an issue with saving profiles as a Paladin or Warlock because Blizzard likes inconsistencies because they're evil bastards
* Updated libraries
* Updated TOC
* Removed build 30000 checks

Date: Sun Sep 21 18:32:22 2008 +0000
* Fixed one button in the restore failing if you had an action on the cursor when you started a restore
* Updated AceDB-3.0
* Changed the macro check to 36 global/18 character since Blizzard lied apparently
* Added a work around for companions not returning a valid GetActionInfo
* Stripped out AceConfig, AceDBOptions, AceEvent, AceGUI, as I can't think of any case I'm going to use these in the future

Date: Sun Sep 7 20:54:48 2008 +0000
* Apparently blizzard didn't up the per character macros to 36 yet, so removed that check
* Fixed /abs macro and /abs count not giving the correct response and always saying disabled

Date: Sun Aug 31 22:09:37 2008 +0000
* Should mostly work with WoTLK now, just need to add mount/companion parts in
* Added Bazaar support

Date: Sun Aug 3 04:21:56 2008 +0000
* Fixed macro check, only does it if we find a macro we need to restore
* Fixed /abs macro not actually working and letting you disable it
* Added spell linking, this is very basic and for general substitution like if you have a Tauren Druid and a Night Elf Druid, you can set it up so if it can't find War Stomp it uses Shadow Meld in it's place and vica versa.

Date: Fri Jul 4 23:57:43 2008 +0000
* Fixed a bug with the DB upgrade possibly erroring
* Fixed the class categories not being filled in unless you had upgraded in the first place

Date: Thu Jul 3 23:42:45 2008 +0000
* Fixed profile list not working correctly due to DB profiles

Date: Wed Jun 25 17:37:47 2008 +0000
* Fixed spells not being restored if they were the max ranks
* Fixed /abs delete not deleting unknown profiles
* Cleaned up the restore code slightly
* Added /abs rename old new for renaming profiles, also will move them to your current classes category

Date: Fri Jun 20 23:44:59 2008 +0000
* Moved ABS to Ace3 to clean up the code a bit more, game restart IS required
* Slash command is still /abs
* Added /abs count toggles checking if you have an item in your inventory before restoring, may need this enabled on this like Arena Tournament Realm to prevent disconnecting issues
* Cleaned up the storage format, we now store profiles per class so you can use names like pve/pvp for different class sets without issues, you can now also only restore sets that were saved on that class
* Improved the code in general, saving, restoring, adding macros and such are all less ugly and good things like that

Date: Sun May 18 00:23:11 2008 +0000
* Added a quick check to string format for macroID to prevent a nil error
* Fixed a bug in macro searching, will actually search for macros now if they go missing or the ID changed

Date: Wed Apr 16 18:06:11 2008 +0000
* Oops, left debug code in. Won't spam spell names anymore.

Date: Tue Apr 15 20:45:16 2008 +0000
* Added a quick hack in to prevent things with : in them from causing format issues

Date: Thu Apr 3 22:58:27 2008 +0000
* Updated our restore logic, it appears with 2.4 Blizzard changed the way dynamic icon macros are done so it'll specifically say the macro to the last known icon. Because we don't seem to be able to pull out if it's a dynamic icon macro or not, will just stop using it for identification

Date: Mon Mar 10 01:55:41 2008 +0000
* Fixed a bug with attempt to index nil table profileData

Date: Sun Mar 9 06:01:02 2008 +0000
* New option, /abs macro will toggle auto recreation of saved macros if they aren't found, defaults to off and will first create in per-character slot until it fills up.
* Mainly this is for developers, or things like transferring your layout/macros to a different character like the tournament realm easier. Requires the save to have been done with a r615 or later of ABS
* Auto save on logout is now defaulted to off instead of on
* Switched to localization.*.lua files, GAME RESTART IS REEQUIRED BECAUSE OF THIS
* Fixed auto save, we now store your current profile per character instead of globally so it won't attempt to auto save a Druids profile on a Rogue (for example)
* Improved /abs list, will now save the name/realm that a profile was created for and will list it per that group to make it easier. Any profile that hasn't been saved/restored yet will show up as misc.

NOTE I am moving to using my portal for feature and bug requests, please direct them to http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=269 from now on general comments and such can still go in the comments, but as I do not have unlimited time anymore it's easier for me to see what needs to be fixed or implemented if I can just look at a single list instead of searching through 60 addon comments.

Even if you already posted a bug or feature, re-posting it in the portal would be a big help. Thanks!

Today was the first time i restored my action bars and every time i do the game kicks me out and it only restored like 2 or 3 spells. I think its because it crushes the cpu or something, i ran into this problem with a mod called routes. Would you be able to add some sort of throttle control so it doesn't crash the game but takes a little longer?

Ty for the fast response! ok understood.

Keybindings?

Will this save my keybindings as well? I use CTBarmod will it work with those bars? and if it will work with CTbarmod does it save the CTbarmod keybindings too?

It's still not going to happen, eventually I'm going to pull code in to update the saved sets if you change a macro (DamnMounts already uses this) but right now I haven't had enough motivation to do it.

I know you've covered this before, but is there any way you could change the way ABS handles macros?

When I get a new shield/1-hand, my spell reflect macro changes; when I learn a new mount, my mount macro (to bypass the [flyable] bug) changes, etc.

I use multiple profiles on my warrior, and keeping track of all the macros I've changed across multiple specs can get very frustrating.

Thanks

It's possible, but it's not something I plan on doing at this time.

What about having a profile that ONLY saves certain bars.

When I swap my priest from Holy <--> Shadow, I only change 2 bars. I modify other bars on occasion to have random things in there, and I'd rather not default those back when I swap specs. I'd like just certain bars to change.

This possible?

Frostbolt rank 1 - snaring other mages from range but too quick to counterspell

Dampen magic 1 - trash buff protection cast before arena starts (playing with a healer)
