perhaps we are confusing different things.. double clicking brings up the old fubar config.. im looking for even older... it was the separate LoD module. perhaps references have been deleted for good? c'est la vie

Must be really ancient then cos i have never seen any other in the time i have used autobar...

It does not seem able to do this anymore.. at least I am unable to get it so. Just the waterfall :(

Ok lets clear up some confusion here. If you have the AutoBar icon on your FuBar or minimap then you can right click it to get an icky hierarchical drop down. This is DewDrop. If you double click the icon, or type in /atb or /autobar then you get the GUI which is waterfall. This waterfall GUI is different from the old custom AutoBar GUI which was last provided by the AutoBarConfig load on demand mod.

Now, certainly noone wants just the dewdrop. It mostly sucks except for quick checkbox clicking.

Waterfall-1.0 which is currently used for the GUI is ok but has severe limitations, especially drag & drop. I have been meaning to replace it with Rock Config but have frankly been too lazy so far and spending time on other features instead. As well I just shifted the things it does badly to AutoBar itself: Move Bar and Move Buttons mode.

So having said all that what is it that you are missing? The waterfall GUI, or the old custom GUI?

...For over a week now my autobar is in a single location for all of my characters. I have to relocate it for each character. Is this a known issue or is there a known "fix" that I have missed?

This is not an issue it is a feature. By default most Bars share their Layout, Position and Buttons amongst all characters. You can read all about how to share Bar Location at http://code.google.com/p/autobar/wiki/Usage

If the documentation is inadequate or confusing etc. then you can post here to get clearer or more detailed docs.

All right then we have a suspect. If you have the black button thing is it because you also use cyCircled? Does anyone have black buttons without cyCircled?

I use cyCirc and not seen any blackbuttons yet.

No. Cat form activates gcd so u need to click twice if you are not in cat yet.

Only coming OUT of a form is instant. So for instance if you are in bear you can come out of bear (no gcd) and instantly go cat, which triggers gcd.

AHHhhh ok, that makes sense. I forgot about the GCD. It seems redundant to the other Catform button, but I'll play with it and decide if I want to kill that button for myself.

No it is also designed to toggle stealth mode. The 2nd part in fact is simply Prowl and not as reported.

Yea, that was my bad, its not the actual macro line. Before I posted here, I did a Search on this forum to see if the Prowl issue had been discussed, and I found a post with your update notes from October-ish '07 and just quoted the lines from your post.

I also have those black buttons issue on Autobar and Bartender3 using CyCircled. I usually do a /rl then which fixes it for a while then.

I'm having a bit of a minor problem. Sometimes, if I move the mouse away from autobar at the right angle and speed, the popup portion of a button stays popped up, and remains so until I mouseover the button again. Here are pictures!




Any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it? It's not majorly breaking, or anything, but it is mildly annoying. Failing that, could there be (or is there) an option to only display a button's popup when a modifier key is held?

Thanks :)

hello, first nice addon and great work..

exactly same problem for me since some update, and dont know what is the problem but very annoying because each time i move mouse away autobar, it's sure i ve the problem with one or more button and need to go again me mouse away the buttons to correct problem..
if i go slowly with mouse, no problem, just if i go away autobar more fast .
maybe it could help you to fix that.

:D I knew you would understand! Yes the old custom GUI! I personally LOVED it..

Disabling Cycircled seems to fix the problem with the black buttons on Autobar and Bartender but I like the circle buttons so much more. Is there any other addon thats doing that ?

I know I've blabbed on and on about the trinket fix in the past, but figured I'd mention that TrinketMenu is broken on the current PTR. You can expect a lot of folks are gonna look to this mod now to replace that functionality. How much of a donation are you looking for to fast-track that fix's development?...heh.

You can turn it off Show Count for all of AutoBar. Meanwhile as soon as I can test (realm is down) I will post code to eliminate the doubling, as well as replace counts > 99 with *

Thank you very much for fixing it!

So I encountered a problem last night with Autobar which prevented me from loading the game.

I was in an instance, casting a buff when the game locked up. My party members advised me that it was just me, not the game (on vent) so I waited and ended up having to kill the game to try to get back in.

Well, the game just would not load. It sat at the loading screen with a full loading bar. My party members informed me that my toon would log in and then just stand idle till I timed out. I was able to log in with no issues on another character. A GM ported me out of the instance and still had the same issue. Ran the repair tool on WoW (after renaming my WTF folder preserving it) and no issues were found.

I then disabled all addons and found I could log in. By process of elimination I found that Autobar was the addon that was preventing me from logging in. There were no error messages that I could find.

I love the addon, however I cannot use it at this time if it is going to do this sort of trick.

Ironically this happenned to me on Uncle Archie in Mount Hyjal last night. Now I had messed with PT3.1 sets trying to get a minimal set of them (which knocked off 250k or 500k of memory iirc). I think I made a mistake because completely refreshing the PT3.1 libs fixed the issue.

So now the question is: if you get an AutoBar lockup are you running disembedded and noobing the update of needed libraries like I did? I will also add code to make this PT3 stuff robust instead of assuming the correct libraries are there.

Im glad you had the error as well. . But im confused and still broken. What is PT3 and where do I get it? I had only used WoWAce updater and now WoWMatrix to update so I think I might be missing something.

Thanks for your hard work.

PT3.1 is Periodic Table 3.1, it is listed as LibPeriodicTable-3.1 when your looking for it to download.

Quote from Valimonde »

Thank you. . .Allthough im still stuck. Downloaded the latests version using wowaceupdater as a stand alone. Still loading all the way to the right and freezing on my druid.

Well the theory here is that your lib is wrong. http://code.google.com/p/autobar/wiki/FAQ lists the files needed for AutoBar to work. If you do not see ALL those files in your AutoBar folder then in your Wow Ace Updater preferences make sure the only thing checked on the left side of the preferences panel is "Default mode WITH externals".

Its not a druid problem. Why?

I have the same problem on my mage, was buffing right before pulling the twins and my screen freezed.

1)I couldn't log in with my mods enabled.
2)I could log in with all my mods disabled.
3)I could log in with all my mods enabled but Autobar.
4)I couldn't log on with only Autobar enabled.

After this i tried the following, removed all the autobars files, from the addon folder and from the wtf folder. Reinstalled it. Still couldn't log in with autobar enabled. I could log all my alts with autobar enabled even the mage alt i have.

I don't think i updated autobar until today(to clarify: i didn't update Autobar for like 3 days)and only today i got this problem, on my main character.

So if you have problems logging in, just disable autobar.


I hope this will help to find out what is the problem, like someone said i love this mod and can't play without it :<

Was messing around a bit with my ui layout and noticed that autobar's alignment feature seems to do nothing now. I'm trying to place the bar horizontally at the bottom right corner of my screen and set it to grow to the left as I add buttons. It wants to grow right no matter which alignment setting I choose. If it matters, I've moved everything to the basic bar and disabled the others. Using the latest version from the WAU and running embedded libs (with externals). Thanks for an awesome mod! :)
