Geist

Version: 90001.1

by: Cidrei [More]

I am not actively playing WoW at this time. If the addon breaks, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it up. Thanks.

Geist is incompatible with addons using LibActionButton-1.0, including ElvUI. This is not a bug so much as two incompatible button systems. Geist uses the built-in ActionButton functionality provided by WoW while buttons generated by LibActionButton-1.0 use custom code to achieve their goals. As this is not a bug in Geist, I have no intentions of figuring out a workaround at this time. My apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Geist provides a twenty-five button action bar that displays under the mouse cursor at a keypress for quick and convenient access. Geist includes Masque support for button skinning.

How to use: Bind a key to Geist using the keybinding interface in the menu. Geist will display whenever that key is pressed with the mouse over the center button.

90001.1 - 2020-10-10
* - ToC bump.
^ - Removed deprecated grid function.

80100.1 - 2018-12-14
* - So... the ToC changed overnight?

80000.1 - 2018-12-12
* - ToC bump.
^ - Minor fixes. Stop assert error.

Any idea what is causing this?

I posted this reply to a comment over on Curse, but it applies here as well.

After doing a little investigation I believe the reason this isn't working is due to addons using LibActionButton-1.0 or some fork thereof. It's not exactly a bug so much as two incompatible button systems not working together. Geist uses the built-in ActionButton functionality provided by WoW while buttons generated by LibActionButton-1.0 use custom code to achieve their goals.

As Geist isn't actually broken or bugged in this instance it's not something I'll be writing a workaround for, especially as the addon is primarily in maintenance mode. My apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

If I hold the shift key down I can remove an item/spell, but can't drop a spell or item back onto geist.

Are you using the default action bars, or custom bars like Dominos or Bartender? You are correct in that druids use multiple action bars, but Geist will configure itself to avoid sharing bars by default, at least with the default action bars.

If you're using an action bar mod, it most likely has to do with how both mods assign their ids. Geist has a (non-friendly) way of changing the action ids to something less likely to conflict with the assign command.

I like to put my main abilities on actionbar 1, then CDs, buffs and such on Actionbar 2 right above it. Usually I use Geist for noncombat things like water, flasks etc. Geist has worked perfectly for me in 5.2, except on my druid. Everytime I try to add an ability to Actionbar 2, it also appears on Geist. And if I remove it on Geist, it also gets removed from the actionbar. But I could add something to Geist, without it appearing on the actionbar. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the actionbar, so I enabled actionbar 3 and put my CDs on there instead. Again, they appeared on Geist. And then I tried Actionbar 4, and the same thing happened. Anything new I added, got put on Geist as well. I'm not too fussed about it, Geist works fine on my other characters, I just thought it was kinda weird and might be worth reporting. Edit: I presumed this trouble was caused by druids having multiple forms and actionbars, though I'm not sure why it doesn't affect the main actionbar, just the secondary ones.

If you mean that you want it to autopopulate things like potions, bandages, etc, then not at this time. That's far outside the scope of what Geist is intended to be. If you mean a different function, you'll need to elaborate.

And by the way , how do i remove the numbers on the "spells" that i put on there?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, no fix for it reacting the opposite of how it should just quite yet. Hopefully soonish. I'm in the middle of a somewhat sudden move across the country and all that fun stuff.

What numbers do you mean in reference to spells?

Cancel that.

I have a problem where the geist window will stay open for some reason, and holding the keybind down will make geist hide instead of show. I figured out that it's primarily caused when the game loses focus while geist is up. (IE hold the geist hotkey, and alt-tab out. Then let go of the hotkey and alt tab back in.)

If there was some event that fired when I alt tabbed out of or into the game, I imagine this would be easy to fix. I remember some 'dungeon finger alert'/'whisper alert' addons that could do nifty things when you were alt tabbed (because certain events will still fire while the game window doesn't have focus) and I can't help but wonder if that would help somehow... but I'm merely an amateur, and wished to report this bug.

I've had issues with this myself, although not on alt-tabbing, where the window responds opposite of how it should. I kind of know what's causing it, I just need to see if I can go in and come up with a good way of fixing it. The alt-tab gives me another way of recreating though, thanks.
