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

* Stripped the old Action Bar Saver -> Action Bar Saver 2 conversion code it's been almost a year "should" be fine

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1191 | shadowed.wow | 2009-04-03 23:39:52 -0700 (Fri, 03 Apr 2009) | 1 line

* Actually stripped Ace3 so SVN would commit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1190 | shadowed.wow | 2009-04-03 23:39:30 -0700 (Fri, 03 Apr 2009) | 5 lines

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1057 | shadowed.wow | 2009-01-08 14:10:31 -0800 (Thu, 08 Jan 2009) | 1 line

* Added debug code if the companion scanning fails, hopefully this will let me narrow down whats causing it to happen (HOPEFULLY)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1055 | shadowed.wow | 2009-01-04 20:16:33 -0800 (Sun, 04 Jan 2009) | 1 line

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1052 | shadowed.wow | 2009-01-04 09:10:09 -0800 (Sun, 04 Jan 2009) | 1 line

* Added an option to restore the actual spell rank saved, instead of defaulting to the highest rank (/abs rank, restores highest rank by default)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1026 | shadowed.wow | 2008-11-23 09:02:46 -0800 (Sun, 23 Nov 2008) | 2 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r993 | shadowed.wow | 2008-10-30 15:05:14 -0700 (Thu, 30 Oct 2008) | 4 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r930 | shadowed.wow | 2008-09-21 11:32:22 -0700 (Sun, 21 Sep 2008) | 3 lines

* Fixed one button in the restore failing if you had an action on the cursor when you started a restore
* Updated AceDB-3.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r929 | shadowed.wow | 2008-09-21 11:26:12 -0700 (Sun, 21 Sep 2008) | 3 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r898 | shadowed.wow | 2008-09-07 13:54:48 -0700 (Sun, 07 Sep 2008) | 2 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r887 | shadowed.wow | 2008-08-31 15:09:37 -0700 (Sun, 31 Aug 2008) | 2 lines

* Should mostly work with WoTLK now, just need to add mount/companion parts in
* Added Bazaar support
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r836 | shadowed.wow | 2008-08-02 21:21:56 -0700 (Sat, 02 Aug 2008) | 3 lines

* 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r802 | shadowed.wow | 2008-07-04 16:57:43 -0700 (Fri, 04 Jul 2008) | 2 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r800 | shadowed.wow | 2008-07-03 16:42:45 -0700 (Thu, 03 Jul 2008) | 1 line

* Fixed profile list not working correctly due to DB profiles
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r784 | shadowed.wow | 2008-06-25 10:37:47 -0700 (Wed, 25 Jun 2008) | 5 lines

* 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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r781 | shadowed.wow | 2008-06-20 16:44:59 -0700 (Fri, 20 Jun 2008) | 5 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r717 | shadowed.wow | 2008-05-17 17:23:11 -0700 (Sat, 17 May 2008) | 2 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r673 | shadowed.wow | 2008-04-16 11:06:11 -0700 (Wed, 16 Apr 2008) | 1 line

* Oops, left debug code in. Won't spam spell names anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r669 | shadowed.wow | 2008-04-15 13:45:16 -0700 (Tue, 15 Apr 2008) | 1 line

* Added a quick hack in to prevent things with : in them from causing format issues
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r649 | shadowed.wow | 2008-04-03 15:58:27 -0700 (Thu, 03 Apr 2008) | 1 line

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r621 | shadowed.wow | 2008-03-09 18:55:41 -0700 (Sun, 09 Mar 2008) | 1 line

* Fixed a bug with attempt to index nil table profileData
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r617 | shadowed.wow | 2008-03-08 22:01:02 -0800 (Sat, 08 Mar 2008) | 3 lines

* 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r616 | shadowed.wow | 2008-03-08 17:09:03 -0800 (Sat, 08 Mar 2008) | 3 lines

* 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r615 | shadowed.wow | 2008-03-07 23:26:49 -0800 (Fri, 07 Mar 2008) | 7 lines

* Lots of improvements in this!
* Restoring is more verbose, will specifically report what spell/macro/item couldn't be restored and to what slot, if an error occurs it'll say something like "Restored <name>, failed to restore <errors> buttons type /abs errors for more info"
* Instead of bag scanning, we use PickupItem instead, this also fixes a bug with items that aren't in your bag but are equipped not being restored
* Full rank is now saved instead of only numeric ones, "just in case".
* Removed all tooltip scanning, replaced it with GetSpellName calls, this should fix issues with auto save not working
* We now identify macros using name/icon/macro text, if we find a macro id doesn't match our saved info then will scan all ids until we can find the matching one and then restore that, this fixes issues with deleting macros and causing it to restore profiles incorrectly

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r524 | shadowed.wow | 2008-01-25 19:18:57 -0800 (Fri, 25 Jan 2008) | 1 line

* Switched to using a spell name/rank -> index cache for restoring so we don't do around 400-600+ tooltip scans per a restore
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r522 | shadowed.wow | 2008-01-25 01:13:13 -0800 (Fri, 25 Jan 2008) | 1 line

* All future profile saves will use spell name/rank instead of spell book id this should resolve issues with the restored profile being completely messed up due to respeccing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r514 | shadowed.wow | 2008-01-19 12:31:23 -0800 (Sat, 19 Jan 2008) | 3 lines

* Added ClearCursor after doing a place action
* We no longer check and make sure we have to change it, we simply change it anyway
* Added tonumber to crtID to prevent API issues
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r492 | shadowed.wow | 2008-01-06 11:04:42 -0800 (Sun, 06 Jan 2008) | 1 line

* Oops, forgot to exit our item scan loop if we already placed it on the action bar
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r490 | shadowed.wow | 2008-01-05 23:25:41 -0800 (Sat, 05 Jan 2008) | 3 lines

* Initial commit: ActionBarSaver
* Saves your current action bars including macros, spells and items for restoring later
* Supports multiple saved profiles for people with multiple specs and such, /abs for slash commands

kyth A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 8 Uploads: 2	Extremely extremely minor but: I modified my local copy so 'load' was the same as 'restore', because save/load is what my mind thinks of rather than save/restore, and it's faster. /abs load mimiron /abs load vezax /abs load freya You've made my life so simple these days when I have different hotkeys and specs for each hardmode (and have to remember to switch between fire ward and frost ward.) __________________ Ulduar strats, speed run guides, and more: http://www.stratfu.com Last edited by kyth : 05-30-2009 at 02:08 PM.

Could you add the possibility of making macro conditionals?
Cause I have a 1 button respec/equip and I would like to see something like this:

farsightxr20 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I actually still find this mod useful... I'm a warrior, and I was specced Prot for main spec and Arms for secondary spec. For ulduar progression I'm changing my second spec to a survival (as opposed to threat-generating) prot set. I want my action bar setup to be almost the same as my other prot spec, but I'd have to completely change everything around because it's currently setup for arms. With this addon I can "save" my bar setup in my primary spec and then just load it into my secondary spec instead of having to setup everything again. And I will still have my Arms bar setup saved for when I decide to go back.

I know you're not SUPPOSE to share accts... of course. But, would this add on allow me to have one set of key bindings to be loaded when I play a toon and then a friend would also be able to load their key bindings for the same toon when they play? Or, does this just change the action bar button placement?

Note that with duel specs in 3.1, you really do not need this mod anymore, as Blizzard automatically saves/restores action bar setups when swapping between duel specs.

While I'll still maintain it for people that need beyond 2 specs/transfering setups between characters, odds are you don't need to use it most of the time.

Please note that, especially with hardmodes, and especially with the higher-end guilds, many of us are respecing far beyond the 2 that Blizzard provides us.

I play a mage and I have 3 different specs I switch between based on which hard-mode it is, then an additional one for normal-mode Ulduar.

And I know our tanks and healers all have, e.g., two healing specs or two tanking specs, and then when they need to switch roles they hit a trainer.

Not to mention people who have two pve specs and then go and pvp.

Actually doing all keys would be even better because for example my targeting key is different on my DPS and tank chars/specs than on my healers.
But it sounds like its not a planned feature?

If you could add a way to save keybindings aswell for each profile, I at least would use it.
Blizzards way doesnt do that and especially for druids that simply needed to do a feral/balance or feral/resto dual spec.

Shadowed Premium Member Forum posts: 34 File comments: 1368 Uploads: 84	It depends what you mean specifically, Blizzard offers something like 70 buttons by default, but unofficially support up to 120 buttons. As long as you do not go beyond 120 buttons then ABS will work with Bartender, if you go beyond 120 then it'll only support those 120.

04-16-2009, 12:55 PM
Cyn325 An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 35 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Does this work with addons like Bartender4? In other words, ones that can add more bars than the blizz ui. Concerned about bars not transferring between specs if there are more than just the blizz ones active. __________________
