If you got feature-requests / you wan't to help me/us to make Bartender a better mod, This is the place to speak :)

Big thanks go to:

I'd really like to get rid of DAB and replace it with a shiny new Ace2 bar mod (Mikma, converting it to Ace2 is easy!). Even though I tried other bar mods besides DAB, I can't stop using it as it has a couple of very nice features - these I'd like to see in Bartender:

- switch the page of a bar depending on target (if target is friendly, show healing page, otherwise show damage page)
- switch page of a bar on metakey-down and toggle it back on metakey-up
- allow same but also different keybindings for these pages
- if a bar is scaled to <1, don't scale the buttons but crop each button (aka keep them at 100%, but cut off a part of it on all sides). This dramatically increases readability of the icons
- a simple way to add scripts to show/hide buttons (I can code the script myself, but I'd perfer not to have to hack an addon but save that data somewhere else so it can be reused when updating the addon). Example: show drink button if out of combat and mana < 80%.

finally, and probably obvious: color buttons red if out of range, color them blue if not enough mana - plus a cooldown counter.

PS: to describe my current setup: one bar with 10 icons and 3 pages (friendly, enemy, buffs). The first 2 pages change automatically, keybindings are always 1-10. If I press and hold alt, page3 is shown instead. While holding alt, I can access these buttons via alt-1 - alt-10. Besides that, I have 3 floaters I'm hiding unless they are needed (e.g. the drink button, a mana pot button,...)

Any chance these features could find their way into Bartender?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that this AddOn really uses Blizzards default buttons, that means you can use extra AddOns to modify the buttons, like RedRange, TheoryCraft, etc, etc.

Is this 1.04 different than the 1.04 on wowinterface.com?

(I don't remember the snapping bars.)

Aye, this is completely different version ;) This has StickyFrames + Scaling in, which wowinterface 1.04beta doesn't have.

The changes from 1.04b(wowi) are *rather* nice.

Thanks.

(looking forward to being able to rotate bars. :)

Neat.

Off-topic, but which unit frames are you using? :)

ag_Unitframes

Hmm, you know, I really am liking that layout you have there. I may give this a spin.

A quick q unrelated to the mod, but what is the name of the mod that makes that Fubar XP bar on the bottom edge? There's so many dratted Fubar exp mods out there, I can't find out which one it is ><.

Edit: Finally found it. It's FuXPFu, for anyone else who's curious.

The Minimap-texture is made by *someone* and 70% edited by me.
http://wow.reaktio.net/Mikma/Mikma/Mikma-Minimap.tga
use these lines in what ever addon you like to use it:

MinimapBorder:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\SomeAddOn\\Mikma-Minimap")
MinimapBorderTop:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\SomeAddOn\\Mikma-Minimap")

Thanks Mikma, that's awesome!

Well I guess I'll have a look at Ace2, and see how easily this can be switched to use Ace.

Can't say for sure when, or give out any eta's since my knowledge of coding Ace addons is about nil - zero

I'm having a wild visions of Dewdrop menu and more options changeable with it.. Let's see :)

Mikma, please add an alpha setting for the bars so I can finally replace Bongos.

Thank you.

If you're taking feature requests, my biggie would be button spacing! And maybe a background option? And an option to hide the binding text? I don't want to add too much, I love that these are so light weight. I find I hardly even miss DAB.

Yeap, spacing is on todo list :) It shouldn't be hard once i start working in Bartender again :) Lately it's been developed by others who have added some nice features in.

What kind of background option do you have in mind? color? picture? I guess it would be simple to do a colorpicker for backgroundcolor, but picture etc, that's out of my league :)

Yeah i'll add the bindings into the list too. I like them myself so haven't even thought of that.
Jayblah: Alphasetting also goes into list.

These all are rather simple to do once i get to work and manage to convert Bartender to Ace2 :)

I was thinking a simple color picker / alpha for the background. The ability to have a border would be nice too, but then things get complex, like what happens to borders when bars are docked to eachother and whatnot. I can always just write a tiny mod to put borders where I want, I guess!

I've just always been bothered by the "floating UI element." Call me weird :P.

Bartender2 is under work atm, located at http://svn.wowace.com/root/branches/Bartender2/Mikma/Bartender2 :)

May, or may not work properly, as it's being worked on all the time and features added / code improved.

Mikma, just a quick question: which of the suggestions I made in my reply#1 found their way into Bartender, or what would be possible by adding a few lines which I could probably write myself? As I'd really like to replace DAB, I can spend some hours working on Bartender if I'd know what really needs to be done :)

Maia: I'm sure they all are now possible to put in Bartender2 :)
I'm trying to make the core work first, and then people can do their own modules and add them to svn/send them to me :)

The core of Bartender2 is nearly complete. It doesn't have any way ingame to configure the bars yet (except for /script's). Last night I tested, tested, and tested some more, and finally moved it from svn's branches to trunk!

http://svn.wowace.com/root/trunk/Bartender2

Quick "howto" on the yet to come GUI-options:
There is 10 bars now. Bar1-3 are the bars on bottomleft, Bar4-5 are the bars on right side, Bar6-7 are Shapeshift and Petactionbuttons, Bar8 is Bagbar, Bar9 is Microbuttonbar, and Bar10 is BonusActionButton (same place than Bar1, is hidden and will become visible in stealth/stanceshift!)
You can see the numbers on Bars when you unlock them.

/script Bartender:Move()
/script Bartender:Lock()
/script Bartender:Hide(Bar1)
/script Bartender:Show(Bar1)
/script Bartender:Scale(Bar1,value) (value can be almost anything. without the value it will reset the scale to default ( Bartender:Scale(Bar1) )
/script Bartender:Padding(Bar1,value) (value can be almost anything. without the value it will reset the padding to default for that bar ( Bartender:Padding(Bar1) )
