BarKeep

BarKeep

** Now with support for the Totem Bar! The Totem Bar should be repositionable, be scaled to the same size as the Main Action Bar and stay in its new position. Please let me know if this is not the case! **

** Now with support of bars that only appear on mouseover via the optional BarKeep_BarFader add-on. Now with support for ButtonFacade via the optional BarKeep_ButtonFacade add-on. BarKeep_BarFader & BarKeep_ButtonFacade 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, pet bar and vehicle 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:

There is a request to add the seating indicator that needs to be done.

Is the vehicle bar scale menu option not working? I'll test it tonight to check.

I'd expect this is due to other add-ons, as BarKeep does nothing to the keybindings. These are simply the Blizzard settings as BarKeep uses all the Blizzard buttons.

BarKeep 30300.3 & 30300.5 both seem very stable in gameplay on my characters. As a result after the holiday break I'll look to add a couple of the requested features.

OK - many thanks for the work then. Its a relief to know it wasn't BarKeep.

I'm not sure if it's one of my other addons, or if many other people are having this issue. But I'd love for it to be fixed because I love this thing. :]

Barkeep causing Lua Error with Achievements

Hi, seems that Barkeep (which I love) is interfering with the avhievements.

Quote:

Message: ...ns\Blizzard_AchievementUI\Blizzard_AchievementUI.lua:671: attempt to call global 'AchievementMicroButton_Update' (a nil value)

updateTrackedAchievements = <function> defined @Interface\AddOns\Blizzard_AchievementUI\Blizzard_AchievementUI.lua:50
trackedAchievements = <table> {
}

That's the error message I get. Either when an achievement pops up or I open the tab. Disabling Barkeep stops the errors.

Also, if I disable the addon then renable it, all my settings are reset. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

I'm having that issue due to OpenRDX. Its caused by another mod unhiding the Blizzard MicroMenuBar. You'll need to request that add-on author to be able to disable that feature of their mod.

I can maybe try a few things to force it hidden again, but it'd be cleaner to find out the mod unhiding the frame and fix that.

Should now be done. Apologies about the time taken, but I play on a US server from Europe and the servers weren't up in time to test the 3.3 version (before bed). There was one easy to correct bug that caused the issue you have and I caught it as a result of testing so it probably was worthwhile to do the testing.

There is one more minor issue that I noticed. Blizzard have changed the 'hiding the empty buttons when the spellbook is closed' method and so this isn't working as well as in patch 3.2 in BarKeep. It's not a major issue by any means and I'll post a fix in the next couple of days - I just wanted to get a working 3.3 version out ASAP given the MicroMenuBar changes Blizzard made.
