ActionUI

Aengdar_ActionUI

This AddOn is designed for people who are happy with the default UI but find themselves running out of space on Blizzard's ActionBars - extra important now Wrath brings us new spells and talents!

It provides an extra ActionBar on the right half of Blizzard's main action bar, replacing the micro icons (Character, Spellbook, Achievements, etc.) and the bag icons. You can choose to replace the whole bar, giving twelve extra buttons, or just the micro icons, allowing the bag icons to remain. The extra ActionBar should react to action bar page changes in the same way as Blizzard's default bar.

I've split off the stance change/shapeshift functionality into another bar that is attached to Blizzard's existing 'in-stance' actionbar. This extra bar can be enabled and disabled independently of the normal extra bar. Plus the sliding in and out looks cooler! Remember Warriors are always in a stance, so the choice of whether to enable this bar or the non-stance one depends on whether you want the icons to change depending on stance.

To replace the removed micro icons and bag icons, I have placed two new buttons on the minimap, which allow access to the hidden features through dropdown menus. The lag tooltip can also be accessed by mouseover of the calendar icon on the minimap.

It also has a few other convenience features:

Right click self cast can be enabled for all Blizzard and ActionUI action buttons.
Macro names displayed on action buttons can be hidden.
The bag scaling you get when interacting with a banker can be disabled.
You can make sure bag frames never obscure the minimap.

There is currently no support for shortcut keys for the extra buttons, sorry! I recommend using a key binding AddOn that lets you set bindings for spells and macros directly.

To configure the AddOn, look in your Interface Options, under the AddOns tab.

Please update me with any bugs or other issues you find!

Change Log - ActionUI

Changelog

28/08/2009 v1.7
-> Updated TOC for interface version 3.2.
-> Removed call to removed function PlayerHasSpells().

05/06/2009 v1.6
-> Updated TOC for interface version 3.1.

28/02/2008 v1.51
-> Fixed problem which meant the micro button menu was not opening with latest WoW client.

01/12/2008 v1.5
-> "IsAttackSpell(): Invalid spell slot" bug fixed.
-> Can now move mini map icons.

30/10/2008 v1.4
-> Cleaned up the code so that it no longer hides/displays the main bar. This means the individual features(such as the minimap buttons) can be used in conjunction with other AddOns. Tested with Macaroon and Bartender4.
-> Each bar now has its own page change buttons and index.

27/10/2008 v1.2
-> In-stance bar split from main bar. This means it can be enabled and disabled independently, and slides in and out correctly with Blizzard's own bonus action bar.
-> Moved action page number to right of the bar.
-> Removed ability to hide action bar background textures.

26/10/2008 v1.1
-> Buttons now show and hide correctly when changing state in combat (was problematic when one stance had a button set but another had that slot empty).

26/10/2008 v1.0
-> Initial version.

Get Bindpad.

Anyway I found a bug if a druid shifts from a form to another form the bars switch like half way and I see both... I'll post a vid...

nanovivid A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Thanks for a great addon! I just have one odd request. Is there any chance of adding an option to size the buttons the same as minimap buttons from other addons instead of being the same size as the tracking button? I'm using Minimap Button Bag and the buttons from ActionUI end up being much larger than all the others. Last edited by nanovivid : 09-01-2009 at 05:50 AM.

Loltak A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 1	Hello, it is exactly what i need but i have a little problem with the option "keep bags button" on. With the "standard" extra bars, i cannot open the bags with clicking on the button. With "stanced characters" and their special action bars, it works fine; i can open bags with the button. if i also activate the "standard extra bars", it've go again the problem. I try to disable all my addon except yours and loadit, and it was the same problem. Thanks @+ edit: is there a possibility to make it compatible with drDamage? edit2: finaly i've tried ipopbar. that's good enough for me. Last edited by Loltak : 04-13-2009 at 10:24 AM.

This is a new feature in 1.5. Just enable the option and drag the micro buttons. You can also reposition the zoom in and out buttons in case they're in your way.

Thanks for the feedback!

Abisha A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Thank you so so much for this addon. It is exactly what I have been looking for since day one. Though with the introduction of 3.03 I am now receiving an error message. The symptom of the error is that the 'new action bar' that replaces the bag buttons and system buttons shows up completely blank when I login. Though if I simply use the up-down arrows on the very left to move to another action bar, then go back all the buttons reappear and everything works fine after that. I will do my best to record the error message and post it here. Once again, thanks so much for this! Even with the little hiccup it's so perfect. ____________________________________________ Okay, I logged back into the game and retrieved the error.

Hi Erica, I'd rather not release it separately since I'd have to maintain two versions of the mod.

But, you should be able to use my mod along with your favourite bar mod with no problems! I don't use any resources such as action slots, and each part of ActionUI is individually configurable. Just disable the extra ActionBar functionality from the interface options panel.

I've just uploaded a new version, 1.4, that makes it even more unlikely that you'll have problems when mixing my mod with others. I've just done a quick test with Bartender4 and Macaroon and everything worked fine.

Hope this helps!

erica647 A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 208 File comments: 246 Uploads: 4	Having the micromenu buttons as a minimap button is awesome and would be very useful just by itself... as a lot of bar mods now hide the micromenu and bagbar. I'm wondering if you might consider releasing that as a standalone mod. Thanks! __________________ Lyndi Level 70 Night Elf Hunter Silvermoon/The Jesters Guild
