Shapeshift

[airanp]

I am loving the addon. After getting into FFXIV I decided to check this out and it is working wonderfully. The only issue I am having right now is when I switch forms on my druid it does not dynamically switch the key bindings for the addon. Whatever form I am in after a /reload or upon logging in is the action bar that gets the key bindings. I am currently using ElvUI, not sure if that matters much over the default UI.

It's a problem with ElvUI. There are other issues with ElvUI, too, such as the raid cursor not working with the raid frames. How customized are your bindings?

1-6 are normal. 7-= are changed to other letters. I tried to put the bindings back to default but it was the same result. The only thing that worked was reloading the ui after every shape shift. I'm going to play around with it some more. I am loving playing with the controller, its like a whole new game. Just need to get a ui that works flawless with it.

Which version are you using btw? The new binding system does not use the system you describe anymore.

Not at the house but the latest one that is on curse. The bindings are a b x y lt lb and so one. And it goes to the f keys through xpadder. On Dec 21, 2015 12:20, "Sebastian Lindfors" notifications@github.com wrote:

You can try this and see if it solves your issue:

1. Disable ElvUI temporarily.
2. Log in with ConsolePort running and reset your bindings to default.
3. Rebind the action bars as you want them to be.
4. Re-enable ElvUI.

If that doesn't work, I'll do some testing on my druid later and see if I can reproduce your problem.

Tried disabling ElvUI and logging in with ConsolePort running. Worked just fine. I tried TukUI, which is made by the same people but is pretty much just a minimalist reskin of the blizzard UI without any customization in the background and it worked just fine. No idea what they are doing with ElvUI, but however they are managing their action bars is not working with ConsolePort. Or I am just missing a vital check mark in the settings somewhere.

Weird, but I'm not completely surprised. ElvUI also does some strange under-the-hood manipulation of the "secure environment", which causes a complete meltdown if you try to use their raid frames with the raid cursor from ConsolePort. I guess it was never really an issue for them, because the way ConsolePort handles and manipulates the interface is kind of unique.

The management of bindings in ConsolePort is built on the assumption that any custom action bar addon is using orthodox methods to host actions. Developers have a bit of freedom with how they approach action bars, but the best and most robust way is using the same approach as Blizzard. Bartender is one such addon. ButtonForge is not.

I've located the issue of this bug and it is indeed caused by ElvUI. For whatever reason, they are repressing the default Blizzard action bar from updating. This is not a necessary behaviour to implement, since Bartender4 does not force the default bars to stop updating.

I think the reason the developers of ElvUI did this was to add some very minor optimization, since they probably assumed nobody would be using the action page value from the default bar anyway. ConsolePort does not use the default action bar, but it uses the wrapped bindings provided by Blizzard. Those bindings rely on a correct action page value from the default bar.

I've reported the issue(s) to the ElvUI developers.

For now I am content just enjoying the game with a DS4 controller. Even though I really like elvui and all it brings to the table, I can tolerate tukui and it's minimalist look if that is what it takes to fully enjoy the game from the couch. Thanks again for the responses and for the amazing add-on
