Post Button Forge Updated for WoW v4.0.1

Hi,

I've just recently uploaded the initial release of Button Forge (screenshots included).

This is an action bar mod that allows you to create almost any number of bars and buttons in the game. It wont make any changes to your existing UI (whether modded or not), and the buttons are designed to operate in the same way as the standard action buttons in game.

As it is the first release I am still working on some of the finer details, but it is very useable.

P.S. For users of my other action bar addon Extra Bars, this addon is the successor to it.

Update: v0.9.1 has just been uploaded, it introduces the ability to create a button to enter exit config mode (along with several other smaller changes/fixes)

Image: In configuration mode, adding more columns to a newly created button forge bar - oh and the bar has been skinned using Button Facade

Post v4.0.1 Ready

I've just uploaded v0.9.5 of Button Forge. This version should work against WoW v4.0.1 which has just been released to the Live servers.

Go gentle as I ended up updating the addon against the Cata Beta rather than the ptr and was under a bit of time pressure.


Update: There were a few last minute surprises in v0.9.5... I've now uploaded v0.9.6 to resolve those

v0.9.7

Just a notice that I've uploaded v0.9.7

Button Forge now supports Flyouts and the glow effect on Hunter Traps (and hopefully wont experience an issue when you add hunter traps to the bar anymore).

v0.9.13

Button Forge v0.9.13 is now up

The changes introduced are:
  • Many more of the gui configuration options are now available via slash commands
  • Added slash only command to change the gap between buttons
  • Added slash only command to disable and enable bars
  • Added slash command to read out info for a bar
  • Improved the feedback when slash commands are not correctly supplied
  • Added a basic API to allow other addons to query information from Button Forge


And a few bug fixes, see the change log (one fix is for Holy Word Chastise to display correctly in chakra states)

Coming up:
- The next feature I very much want to add, is a way to make the bar invisible but keep it's key bind enabled.

I think that is one a lot of people have been wanting. Like other recent features it will be a slash command (at least to begin with).

I intend to make it so that if you're holding an action and press the shift key, the button will become visible so that you can change the action of the button with out too much hassle.
