Need an unshapeshift button. #266

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Problem:

Well I just installed this addon and was playing with it to learn how to 
use it. I went into the ER button configuration (Druid) to find out what 
it actually is (Vague name). Suddenly I get an error and the button 
dissapeared from AutoBar. I'm having trouble restoring it, and forgot the 
code in there (Only saw it for a minute), so I can't add it back manually.

I have since tried deleting the addon's folder from my computer and 
reinstalling (Multiple times) to no avail. Not only is the button gone, 
but every time I delete and reinstall, it's like I didn't do anything and 
the addon was never removed. All my settings are saved (How, I have no 
idea since the entire AutoBar folder gets dumped into the Recycle Bin each 
time I reinstall), and the ER button is still missing.

Also the Profile section is not there, so your recomendation in the Readme 
to Reset is impossible.

My least question is how the heck can it be preserved with these errors 
when the folder gets deleted and replaced with a new one? Does AutoBar 
save it's config in a second place?

Help?

This other issue was helpful in letting me reset the addon. I still wonder what 
would cause the error dialog popup. Where can I find a log of it so I can show 
it 
and you can look into it? I'm kinda new to addons, so I don't know where to 
look.

Would be nice to have an ingame Reset ability like the Readme says. Maybe you 
removed that ability? Any chance you could put it back please?

Also would be nice to have a less vague name to the ER button please. :D

ER = Emergency Room or Emergency Response.  Kind of a riff on a tv show.
I have upgraded the FAQ for finding bugs with all the steps you can take.

Reset is on the ToDo list.

One more question: Does ER not show up under AutoBar/Buttons?  if it does you 
can 
add it back to the bar...  Also not all classes have it at the moment.

One more thing, it is a macro button so by hovering over it you can see exactly 
what 
it will do in the tooltip.  I also just tried it on my druid with no issues.  
What 
level is your druid?

Woot for Reset on ToDo list. :D

Oh, it had dissapeared from everywhere, even Buttons list. I didn't even see it 
until I did the deleting of the lua files like in the other Issue posted. Do 
addons 
export to a logfile anywhere so I can provide you the error I got? Cause I 
don't 
remember what I did anymore, so I can't reproduce it.

My Druid is 25 at the moment. Yea, I'm weak. >.<

Oh while I'm here, a button for going back to caster form would be a nice 
addition 
in my opinion. I assume the point of the extra AB buttons is to make them next 
to 
each other and easy to access (I put the AB buttons on the right, so they're on 
top 
of the default WoW buttons which I usually click anyway so it goes together and 
I 
like that. Left ones are bothersome to click since I'm a righty). To go back to 
caster I have to click the active form so it wastes a little bit of time moving 
from 
AB to the default buttons. I tried to make this, but it doesn't seem like we 
are 
allowed to make new buttons with actions that aren't already predfined.

Nevermind on the not being able to make custom buttons. I just read the Usage, 
and 
it's very informative. Still would be nice to have a button for caster form as 
a 
standard thing, and not something I can make custom (Not that I can, since I 
don't 
know how to make macros well yet). Just a suggestion.

All right,  I think perhaps the ER button fails at your level if you dont have 
the 
required spells yet?  You would need Nature's Swiftness...

All right, I will add a todo item to create an Unshapeshift Button.

Great. Unshapeshift button among the forms would be awesome.

Just an FYI, the ER command doesn't completely fail actually. When I click it, 
it
casts Healing Touch just fine, but because HT was not Swifted, GCD kicks in and
Regrowth is not casted. My build is 41ish Feral so I can't afford Swiftness no 
matter
how I try. Definitely planning on it in Wrath.

I really wish I could reproduce the error message I got with ER, but I swear to 
god I
don't remember how it happened. If it happens again, I will of course post 
again so
it can be fixed. :D

Oh and is the Travel button not supposed to have Travel Form in it? *confused* 
All I
see is Cat Form for indoors (Which is pretty useless since Feral Swiftness says 
it
only works outdoors, but your macro is clearly marked to do Cat form Indoors), 
and
Aquatic Form when in water (Which works as intended). I can't test if the Travel
button does Travel Form as intended yet because I don't have it yet, but was 
pointing
out a possible issue with the Travel button, since I don't see Travel Form 
mentioned
anywhere in the code.

Oh as long as we're talking about Druid buttons, I'd like to add that the Cat 
button
is a bit redundant since the Stealth button activates Cat on the first toggle, 
and
Prowl on the next, so it can be used to enter Cat Form, which kinda makes the 
Cat
button not needed. We can just choose to not hit the Stealth button again and 
just
remain in Cat Form, getting the same effect as the Cat button.

I will look at ER again.  It should only have regrowth if you actually have 
tree 
form.

Travel form indoors has cat because u can sprint with it.  If you do not 
actually 
have travel form why would it be on the macro?  An error would halt the macro...

Cat and stealth are not redundant.

Ah, thank you for the explanation on the Travel button, since it was confusing 
me a 
bit. I sometimes forget about Dash because of the cooldown, heh.

ER should only have Regrowth if I'm speced for Tree? Well I guess we found a 
bug eh? 
xD And thank you again for planning an Unshapeshift button.

I must get to 30 so I can test all the buttons. I level slow because I like to 
explore a lot, heh.

I guess the Cat button is for just going to Cat and the Stealth one activates 
Cat if 
you don't already have it. Ok nm, it's not redundant.

Keep up the good work. I love this addon and recoomend it to all my friends. :)
