I would love to see an AddOn developed specifically to take advantage of Ace to replace Wardrobe and EquipManager, rather than just reworked version. Besides, both Wardrobe and EquipManager have quirks and bugs and one of the authors is extremely...tempermental. :wink:
I love the "GUI" function of Sell-O-Matic and Zoot. What I'm picturing is...rather than have specific GUIs for equipment layouts (ala EquipManager and Wardrobe) which take up memory needlessly...just use the default character frame bags, shift-clicking to add/remove items to a set. I've no doubt this would be much smaller and much more efficient than either of the two existing AddOns.
Automatic equiping of sets could be defined, ala Wardrobe and EquipManager: druid forms, warrior stances, rogue stealth, hunter aspects, priest Shadowform, Plaguelands, mounted, swimming, etc.
Commands would be pretty easy to use. Defining a set (pre-named sets for those auto-equiped above) and modifying the equipment in the set. Something along the lines of...
/aceequip create STA <- creates a set named STA
/aceequip modify STA <- opens the character window and bag windows to shift-click inventory (equiped or bagged) to add or delete from the set. Upon mousing over the item, the tooltip would have something similar to "Zoot exception" or "Sell-O-Matic recognized"...perhaps the name of the set(s) that item belongs to.
Instant: That wouldn't allow for partial sets to be saved. That's one of the features I like about Wardrobe. And if I'm not mistaken, Wardrobe just adds to the equipment frame, rather than having its own version of it, but I'm not totally sure about that.
I wish wardrobe would; when I mouseover an item; show me which outfits that item is used in.
I wish wardrobe would let me select an item, and show me a checklist of each outfit, and I could add that item to each outfit by just checking some marks. (it would remove the checkmarks from other items being replaced on it's own)
I wish wardrobe had more automatic change outfit events. Like shapeshifting events.
Of course the proposed Ace wardrobe manager would have to have a "naked" profile, the ability to take off all equiped items with durability (leaving on rings, necklace, cloak, trinkets, etc). There is a non-Ace AddOn for exactly that purpose called Strip. However, it's not Ace! :P
I used to go buck on most of my peace expeditions.
Human Mage; "So, I dropped by Teldrassil only to find a naked Tauren being chased by 40 angry little Elves."
Note to self: If I ever decide to go to Teldrassil again without getting flagged (as I did the first time), don't walk into the damn capitol. Stupid capitol flags.
It's not ace'd, but I think allready better then Wardrobe / Equipmanager - I just switched from Wardrobe & TrinketMenu to ItemRack. I really like it, the interface etc - since 1.4 it has the ability for Itemsets, it's still missing the auto equip (mounted, plaguelands) stuff though. I prefer to switch myself anyway...

It's indeed very nice, although it's Tooltips doesn't work when you're using Tipster. It's absolutely incompatible, I can't even add it to Tipster's db. But besides that, it's great.
Ah, it's tipster... allready wondered - If you switch to "Tooltips at pointer" it should work -- I have "Use tiny tooltips" enabled also.
Me too, that's the only workaround ;)
But I've noticed another tooltip problem. I don't know if its Tipster or ItemRack.
Try hovering about the items in your CharacterFrame .. there are some slots that doesn't show any tooltips, depending on which speed you move over them.

I have that too, but before I installed ItemRack allready. Doesn't disturb me enough to explore what addon it is ;-)
I moved to ItemRack a few days ago, and am very impressed. Aside from lacking automatic swaps based off events (entering Plaguelands, etc), it's exactly what I want out of an equipment set manager.
Too bad it's not Ace'd, but I can certainly live with some non-Ace'd AddOns.
I build myself a keybinding to toggle a set called "Mounted" and the currently active set ...
For this I added at the end of ItemRack.lua
-- Added by Sari
--[[ returns current's Set name ]]--
function ItemRack_CurrentSet()
return ItemRack.CurrentSet
end
and added a new keybding in bindings.xml
<Binding name="Toggle Mounted Set" description="Toggle Mounted Set">
if ItemRack_CurrentSet() ~= "Mounted" then
UnmountedSet=ItemRack_CurrentSet()
EquipSet("Mounted")
else
EquipSet(UnmountedSet)
end
</Binding>
It's not automatic, but it's good enough for me ... having the hands on the keyboard anyways - and I dont want to switch allways if I just mount/unmount every 5 yards for herbalism ;-)
For the Plaguelands, with [ Macromatic ] installed you can help yourself easily too... just add
ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA#/script local g=GetRealZoneText() if g == "Western Plaguelands" or g == "Eastern Plaguelands" then EquipSet("Plaguelands") end
(localize zonenames and edit EquipSet name if necessary)

Curse PremiumStep 1. Equip the items you want on your character stamina
Step 2. Type /aceequip saveprofile stamina
Step 3. Equip the items you want on your character for int
Step 4. type /aceequip saveprofile int
etc...
When you need it, you can have a macro keybinding or something to
step 1. /aceequip loadprofile int
etc...
Then you wont need to catch any key-presses nor would you need
to do stuff with tooltip.. you only have to scan characters equipment
and equip stuff.

Curse PremiumI could never imagine carring around so many sets of things and actually be that concerned about what is for what situation. My head would a-splode!
I have a hard enough time remembering my keybinds for all my action buttons.

Haha same here :)
I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Blizzard bug , though ;)
