Aren't they locked together with the rest of the buttons?

The buttons that are native to the pet bar are locked in. However, buttons that are in the spell book aren't locked into the bar. You can move them there but they aren't locked in. Spells such as Heart of the Phoenix which resurrects the pet, for me, it is important that they stay locked in the bar. This way you to don't have to open the spell book while in combat, which can really be annoying. This wouldn't be a problem if the pet "Magically Appears" as Blizzard claims in the text. The GM's get a laugh out of the wording as well. Unless it's in the bar, the pet bar at times will disappear before you can get to the spell and activate it. If you want your pet to Dash at a certain time, that's also a problem, if you had it set to auto in the spell book, its not going to be available when you need. Lick Wounds much of the time also gets the pet killed when a Ret Pally or Warrior hits a critical since it won't auto-activate until the pet is at about twenty five percent. When I see either of these classes on the pet, I like to use this spell when the pet is at half health. Unfortunately, this is another spell that won't stay locked into the bar.

hi!

I am liking BT4 but I have some issues:

1) Scaling with most addons, including BT4, does not seem to work when the scale is set to High. When I switch from full screen to windowed, Omen, BT4, etc are partially out of the window. Setting the scale to something lower seems to help, but not always. Reporting this in case the addon devs can help Blizzard fix the issue :)

2) How can I swap out spells on bars with profiles? I want a mutilate and combat set of bars for when I respec, so b should be backstab in one profile, and killing spree in another.

3) When I am in keybinding mode, is there any way to see what is in the slot I am binding? The tooltip has generic slot # info only. Sometimes the icons are dimmed and it's tough to make out what I drug there 30 mins ago, or the scaling is so small. I play mainly by keys, so my buttons tend to be tiny.

thanks!

Spells on bars are stored on the Blizzard server, I think there might be other addons with the functionality but I don't think BT does that. Rumor is when/if Blizzard introduces a dual spec system you'll get that functionality automagically.

Yes that would rock. I am trying to find a solution for today. Maybe I am abusing the bars.

I have bar 1 be a possess bar, with bar 7 for stealth. I do this so I can overload keys:

M - garrote when stealth, slice and dice when not
B - Distract when stealth, killing spree when not.

Now I want to change the "when not" side of things, so I tried using paging, but paging breaks when stealthed. For example, when I page to bar 2, whether stealth or not, I always get bar 2. I don't get bar 7 when paged out to 2.

Not quite sure what you're asking. BT4 should switch bars for you automatically with stealth.

It switches bars 1 and 7.

if I use the paging, and page bar 1 to 2 (pressing control 2 for example) then stealth leaves bar 1 on page 2 (bar 2)

confusing I know, but I didn't develop this wonky system, blizzard did :)

OK, I've trolled through the entire official Topic.

Situation: I'm a physically disabled veteran. As such, I have little use of my left arm. I use a Nostromo n52te so I don't have to fight to reach the keyboard.

Process: I map the basic 14 buttons on the face of the n52te to Bar 1 (10 buttons, 2 rows of 5) and Bar 2 (5 buttons, 1 row of 5). I do the same with pairs 3&4 and 5&6.

I would like to make a button. Call it SWITCH that basically swaps through the button sets. The problem of course comes from:
a) mapping the keybindings
b) writing the conditional code to swap through successfully and maintaining those mappings.

My first thought was to use ActionBar Paging but it never seems to present Bars 3&4 or 5&6 instead of 1&2. The order is twistedly weird and I haven't figured out the pattern.

Any thoughts? Assistance? Help?

Thanks for anything.

So no one knows how to make a 2 row bar go from
[ 1 2 3 4 5 6]
[ 7 8 9 0 - =]

to

[ 7 8 9 0 - =]
[ 1 2 3 4 5 6]

Would really, really like a way to do this due to the way the possession bar works. So I don't have to use 7 - = to click my buttons when possessing.

One of the forum goers said he managed to do it by editing prototype.lua
I'm thinking at this point maybe make generic macros for pet abilities then having BT4 switch to the bar with those macros so I can preserve the 1-6 bindings when possessing.

I configured Bartender 4 without using any guides for the first time and it went really well. The only issue I encountered is:

I play a druid and after configuring everything I find that when I shift out to caster form the Cat form bar (Bar 7) still appears. I have set Bar 7 to only appear in Cat form but when I switch from any form to Caster form, Bar 7 appears. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Nev, I'll try the conditional you specified. I seem have gone about this in a roundabout way but it seemed intuitive to me. Adding caster/default form to the list of stances would be a nice touch.

Brilliant work on the addon. It was fun to set it up and my UI looks great now!

Hello,

i have a problem with the normally wonderful addon.
the xp bar seems not to be working properly. sometimes it's there and then it's gone and when it's there it won't advance when i gain xp. i gained 2 levels without the bar moving at least one single bit.

is there some configuration i have to do to make it work?

hope you can help me.

Everytime i log in, the bars change positions. I'd like to have 1 profile for full screen and one for when i run a smaller window. What am i doing wrong?

Hello, i'm currently having a problem with the new beta1/beta2.

In the older version i use to be able to page through 3 bars, while having others visable on my UI. But now in the betas, i am able to page through all the bars that are enabled on my UI, and not the 3 that i am normally using.

I do not use shift/alt/ctrl as a paging hotkey, i simply use mouse wheel scrollup/down and have it set through the blizzard keybindings to scroll my bars up/down.

Is there a new change that reworks the way this process worked? How can i fix it?
