Neuron

Version: 1.0.5c

by: Maul, Soyier

Introduction:
Neuron is a full featured action Bar addon for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, updated for Patch 8.1

Want to contribute?

Theme Support:
Neuron inherits all theming courtesy of the Masque addon. Neuron has full Masque compatibility, and the theming options found in Masque are quite in-depth, not to mention the robust portfolio of skins made to support Masque. In short, you can make your bars look any way you like!

Features:

Neuron features an unlimited number of macros. You can create as many bars/buttons as you want/need per character!
Are you a clicker extraordinaire? As many buttons on the screen you want where you want, when you want!
Macros the size of Texas! Up to 1024 characters in length!
Maul's unique mouse-over key-binding system - where the mouse-over binding system was born!
Many other of the favorite desired bar addon features and then some!
And, last but not least, MASQUE support!

Graphical Editor:
Neuron contains a graphical bar editor that allows for nearly endless customization to bar shape, size, orientation, and much more! Further, Neuron has neither the limitations on max number of bars nor on the max number of buttons per bar, as you might find in addons such as Bartender4 or Dominoes.

If the command line is your thing, all of the options found in the graphical bar editor can also be set using the below command structure.

Neuron is a fork of the amazing Ion Action Bars addon started by Connor Chenoweth aka Maul, for World of Warcraft Legion and onwards. All credit for the bulk of this addon should go to him accordingly, along with SLOKnightFall for his maintainership throughout the years. I, Soyier, take no credit for the idea or implementation of this addon prior to my adoption of the code in the Fall quarter of 2017.

Well, I figured it out. Not sure where the conflict is, but it seems that there's a conflict somewhere with the Chatter add-on. Guess I look for a new way to manage my chat boxes, because I definitely need Neuron. At any rate, seems like all is good now!

Haha that's strange. I've never heard of chatter. I wonder how chatter could have been affecting Druid form transitions... That seems quite odd.

Nice detective work!

I click to edit, and then again to turn edit off, and the bar appears with all buttons, but they're completely non-responsive. I'm not sure if maybe I've configured the bar wrong in the new setup, but I figured I'd reach out for help.

Re: Re: Main Action Bar Disappearing

That's odd... My main is a druid and it works fine for me. Did it used to work and now it isn't? This may be a stupid question, but for your different form states, did you put abilities on these bars? The different states are effectively fresh bars that need to be filled with abilities

For some reason, once I set it to "shapeshift" so it will change based on shapeshifting, as well as "stealth" so it will change when I'm stealthed in cat form, whenever I shift, the buttons disappear. If I edit the bar, it'll reappear with all of the buttons on it, but none of the buttons actually work, either by keybind or by clicking on them.

At this point, I'm kind of lost as to how to fix it. I don't really want an action bar set up for each of my different forms, particularly as I don't think they'd hide properly. Any suggestions?

Soyier A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 219 Uploads: 1	Ok a new release is coming out that fixes all the issues reported below. For now I'm not getting rid of the aura code, and I did tuck away the event calls behind the aura_ind flag, so there should be no performance hit for people not using the aura boarder setting. I'd still like to fix the aura countdown code, but I seriously cannot figure it out. It's one of the more bizarre things I've ever worked with. It should be working, but it inexplicably isn't. Oh and an explanation for why the issues with charges/binds not showing happened was due to a framelevel mismatch. those elements were showing behind the icon instead of in front. I didn't catch it because I use Masque and masque will apply its own framelevel to those elements based on the theme, so those issues were only visible to people using the stock theme Last edited by Soyier : 01-14-19 at 04:24 PM.

raysmith A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 41 Uploads: 0	In terms of duration/cooldown/aura, I do have separate tracking via TMW but I use that info on the bars a lot as well. I've definitely noticed the absence of the durations on buttons, especially since I don't have every single duration tracked in TMW (I don't track poison durations on my rogue, for instance, I only track missing poison). I've always used the buttons for that info in conjunction with TMW. Setting aside the current issues with duration, in my perfect world (which is beyond what previous versions of the add-on offered), I want to be able to enable duration/cooldown, as well as PRIORITY (which number displays when both are in effect), at the BUTTON level, not bar. I'd also want the sweep to track the lower priority of the two so I can see both at once. I believe in the past both numbers would display simultaneously when both were enabled which was difficult to read. In terms of high CPU, I'd like to at least give it a try to see what kind of impact it has. The idea of a high CPU warning seems reasonable to me as long as the choice is in player hands. I'm assuming not but would button-level durations help with the CPU issue? Also, have you tried running the high CPU issue past the WoW UI/mod forum? I've had issues with a handful of long abandoned add-ons over the years when Blizzard changes/breaks things and to my recollection the UI forum people have always come through with a fix or workaround. Your issue is bigger than the ones I was having, of course, but there seem to be some experienced brains over there.

I could probably do that. The issue is that the aura feature is pretty widespread, so I'd have to abstract it a bit to make it toggle-able. I'd also have to still fix and rewrite all the parts that are currently broken. Bleh.

You'd just have to register and unregister that event.

Key Bindings disappear when you place an action in them. 2. Item Count is also missing from bottom right of icon (drag a stack of herbs from backpack and place on bar would normally show a count). I have just been reading the other comments below, as you said I think the recent change with cooldowns broke these, they worked in previous version.

Soyier A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 219 Uploads: 1	Decisions to make. Ok so we're at an impasse. The code to track auras and have them show on the bars is terribly broken. To the point where after days and days of hacking I can't make heads or tails of what is going on. My first plan was to rewrite much of this code, and in fact I DID rewrite a sizeable chunk, but I entered a warfront and discovered something disheartening. By subscribing to the events that are necessary for tracking auras, i.e. "UNIT_AURA", in raids, warfronts, and battlegrounds the CPU usage spikes through the roof. This leads to constant jitter and noticable lag spikes. By turning off the aura tracking parts of the code all this crap behavior goes away completely, and the FPS is buttery smooth. So my heart says to just remove the code. It saves me time, makes the game feel better, and reduces the code substantially meaning it will be easier to maintain into the future. However, I know lots of you guys use this feature, and I've tried very very hard to not remove features, as that's just bad juju. Though, to be quite frank, when that code was added it was before addons such as WeakAuras, and was meant to fill a niche void. However, with addons FAR BETTER tailored for specifically tracking aura events, it makes me think that this is just wasted effort on Neuron's part :-/

There seems to be a feature missing - the display of mob debuffs applied by spells on the button for that spell. I'm not sure when it went missing, my setup is kind of automatic I've been using this for so long, but I seem to remember a "buff/debuff duration timer" radio button on the bar config page, it's not there anymore.

Am I missing something?

No, I temporarily disabled it (keyword temporary) because it got very broken. I haven't yet had a chance to fix it. It will be fixed in no more than a couple of days

Fan-freaking-tastic! How does this addon keep getting such good people to continue the work?

/bow

Thanks

I've spent like two days working on this, and I CANNOT figure it out. I don't know why I can't get timer's for the auras to work. It's not that I can't detect the aura countdown, in fact I can get a perfectly functional countdown printing to console, I just can't get the damn numbers to appear on the buttons. With some spells they show and dissapear after a couple seconds. With others they never show at all. It's just bizzare. I'm using the same code for the most part as for the cooldown counters, and those work flawlessly. I dunno wtf is going on.
