Is there any hope of Shifter (Shifter2) being fixed for TBC or does the latest "UI-Function Nerf" break it completely?

I'm not too familiar with LUA, so please excuse my ignorance. All I know is that I just tried to play my druid in TBC and have a really really hard time getting used to pressing form buttons twice to switch forms. :/

//edit: I got shifter to work with the latest TBC build now, it works out of combat but not in combat. Guess its dead. :(

I'll keep an eye on the thread, looks promising. I really miss the functionality of not having to press a form button to get out of it, but you get used to the "Blizzard-UI" way if you are forced to use that. It's still somehow unintuitive and wrong, I agree that the Swiftshift/Shifter-Like behavior should be standard.

Right now I did get Shifter to work just fine (the "old" Shifter version with the TBC Branch Libs), however, only out of combat. Once the character is in combat and I press any of the Buttons, nothing happens. No Errormessage either. The second I drop out of combat it works again. :/

I play a druid so this will be the first addon I will be working on when I either A) get a beta key or B) the 2.0 client gets put on the test servers. For now I won't be working on it anymore though until I can actually test it because I suck at drycoding.

For every Druid out there playing the beta and going crazy with having to click every form button twice to shift out, I believe I found a dirty workaround for it until Shifter is fixed.

Catform Macro:

/cancelaura Dire Bear Form
/cancelaura Travel Form
/cancelaura Aquatic Form
/cast Cat Form

Bearform Macro:

/cancelaura Cat Form
/cancelaura Travel Form
/cancelaura Aquatic Form
/cast Dire Bear Form

Mount/Travelform Macro:

/cancelaura Cat Form
/cancelaura Dire Bear Form
/cancelaura Travel Form
/cancelaura Aquatic Form
/use <insert mountname here>
/cast Aquatic Form
/cast Travel Form

They don't have any "spam-protection", so you will get shifted out if you press it too often - but for the most part they work just fine. Certainly better than the default UI behaviour.

Best of luck with the Betakey, Greywind - if you decide to give drycoding a shot anyway, let me know and I'll help you test it all day long.

Hello!

I have been looking for an Ace2 version of SwiftShift, and have found this one. I downloaded the latest version that is out on the SVN but this version does not seem to be functioning at all. Any clues on what I am doing wrong?

Redlance

Thanks for the reply and the file, Otto, but I still cannot seem to get it working. No /shifter or /shifter2 command, and nothing I can find in the key bindings to see it going.

Redlance

I am not using anything that modifies my Key Bindings. The Shifter version does work correctly for me, but I cannot spam the shift keys on it as it works directly like the regualr shift buttons. I was hoping that Shifter2 fixed this but I cannot get it going.

Redlance

Any new updates on this mod for tomorrow? I'll miss it terribly.

-DR

Updating this mod is beyond my coding skills atm so if anyone wants to pick it and take it over then be my guest :(.
