ncUI 12 button patch

Why thank you whoever favorite'd this xD

I can see if I can't figure that out. In order to do that I may end up having to completely redo his code, but then again, that's what I thought I'd have to do to do what I've already done :P Back to digging through Dominos' actionbar code for inspiration!

Ok yeah, adding modifier paging is a lot tougher than adjusting the length of the bars I've been scouring the code of not only Dominos, but Bartender4 and scouring the depths of Google trying to figure out how to implement it without completely redoing the code and I'm not getting anywhere. I'm slowly starting to understand how it could work, but I'm not exactly a Lua expert which is hampering my progress.

While you can do that, it's not the same as what he's asking. He wants to hold down a modifier key (alt, ctrl, shift, or any combination of the 3) and have the main bar page until he releases the key, returning it to it's original page. Blizzard's keybindings only allow you to flip pages up or down. It's possible to swap the actionbar's page via macros too, but macro's require clicking and thus don't serve the purpose. The "easy" fix would be to use ChangeActionBarPage(), but that does not function in combat. I'm pretty sure that I can use SecureActionButtonTemplate to achieve that goal, but there's two problems. I don't quite understand how it works (The example code is rather generic and doesn't quite relate to what I'm trying to do) and it would require making the lua code more complicated than it already is :P Another problem is that the most recent example of sample code that is well commented is from 2007.

I do know that Bartender4 and Dominos both can do this, but they wrote their code completely different to what NC did. NC went with a procedural route with his code, while both Dominos and Bartender4 are OO. Kinda makes it difficult to translate them over. :P

In the meantime, NC's hoverbind functions built into the addon allows you to do essentially the same thing, it's just tough to remember what spell is bound to what key :P

Well, at the very least I'm beginning to make progress. Finally managed to get the other 3 extra bars to line up over the main bar, now it's just a matter of getting them to disappear and reappear according to what modifier you push.

I'm getting no luck with Is(Alt/Shift/Ctrl)KeyPressed() or MODIFIER_STATE_CHANGED though.

Alright, now that I actually have a job again and can afford WoW again, I'll get back to work on this and see if I can't get the bars to page. Also, I never expected to get over 200 downloads o.0 Since this has become a lot more popular than I thought it would, It'll give me incentive to solve this :P

Now then, since I've been getting PMs on how to have more than one bar in the UI, you have to open the config.lua in your Addons/ncUI folder and change

to
Also, you only need to enable the bottomleft actionbar in the interface>actionbar menu. When I cut the bar size from 16 to 12 buttons, I enabled the full bars, so you don't need the other two.

Sorry about not getting this updated yet, work and Oblivion have kinda stole much of my WoW time away from me a never got around to checking on ncUI for updates :P I have to redownload/install WoW and then once I test my update I'll post it. It *should* be fine, but I want to test it to make sure :P

Hopefully it'll finish installing/updating before I have to go to work today.

EDIT: I guess not, I'll have it uploaded sometime after midnight EST I guess.

UPDATE: Alright, I come back after my shift and WoW is still installing, so I'm saying screw it and uploading the new version anyways. For the most part it's the same, but nightcracker used different methods to achieve the same goal with 2.1a as compared to 2.0b, not to mention the addition of 3d Models.

I'll update my screenshots probably sometime tomorrow when WoW finishes updating.

FIXED: I should have waited untill WoW finished installing/updating to upload it xD turns out I forgot to change 3 values and the main bar only had 8 buttons. Please redownload once it's approved
