Is there a way to keep it? I wanted to modify the font and fontsize of charges/stacks on some of my abilities in my actionbars (Brutal Slash and Survival Instincts). With OmniCC the cooldown text is looking neat with new font I'm using, but charges (Count) is terrible.
Not at this time, no. I would suggest using a mod that customizes the fonts (Tekticles, Fontain, etc).
Is there a reason why .Font and .FontSize aren't supported anymore?
Font/FontSize aren't supported because many people use add-ons that specifically handle fonts and that would require special compatibility checks to prevent conflicts.
I do apologize, however, that they're still listed in the docs. I'm in the (slow) process of migrating and updating that info but real life takes priority. :)
I actually came here to mention AddonSkins because the Weak Auras author mentioned it. Glad it got figured out. Just out of curiosity: Does that add-on have an option to disable per-module? I'd hate for you have to remove the whole thing for one add-on, at least until the author fixes it.
Thanks. I looked into it and it's going to be tricky. The problem is that the Spell Alert doesn't change size to fit the size of the skin. Trying to manipulate its size at run time is a cluster eff because you have to resize each one of the animation's textures. Not to mention that those scales and sizes are done in the XML file and are scripted to update each time the code runs. Trying to scale the entire animation causes each texture to scale differently resulting in the "ants" moving exponentially further away.
So for now I'm just going to move the hotkey and count text more to the center of the skin. It won't look as pretty, but until I figure out a better solution, that's the only option. I was able to re-parent the animation to the base frame (the frame under the button that the background is parented to) so that it appears under the skin, but it bleeds through a little on most skins and a lot on Caith (since it doesn't resize).
Quite a bit of the code needs to be updated anyhow, so maybe I'll have a brainstorm or something. But here lately, that just leaves my brain muddy. :p
Edit: Holy shit, either I'm getting old or the text on this forum is really small. :/
Edit 2: I've made those changes to Caith. It seems to easier to read now.
Hi! Is there any way to desaturate icon while it is on cooldown?
This would require more hooking of update functions by Masque. And since Masque primarily just deals with the initial skinning of a button, you'd be better served asking the author of the button add-on to implement such a feature, since it's already using those functions.
Just want to know: Does Masque work in the Legion Beta? I personally don't have Beta access, but, since I do a few "skins" for Masque I figured I'd ask.
It does work to an extent. there are some texture mapping bugs in legion right now but as faras I can tell masque works for the most part
I'm unaware of any engine changes that would cause the coordinates to be off. Do you by chance have a specific example or scenario that I can reproduce what you're referring to? I logged in and everything *seemed* to be working correctly.
Edit: All I see is something about SetTexCoords not accepting values higher than 1, which skins shouldn't be using anyhow.
Sorry, Stan, I've been pretty busy. If I'm not mistaken, the game uses the count (stackable items) for the charge count. If that's the case, I can't reparent the text to the cooldown animation because it gets recycled and used by other buttons. I will look into playing with the layers in the skin to make it more readable.
That said, I'm dealing with the recent passing of my mother, so it'll be a few weeks before the 7.0 update is released. Thanks.
I'll look into it. The spell alert animation is its own frame and is drawn above the button while the text layers are attached to the button frame itself. It may be more feasible to adjust the positioning of the text for the skin. Which skin are you using?
I've gotten multiple complaints about Weak Auras with Masque. I'm not sure what it's doing, but I don't believe it's on Masque's end. The add-ons I use all save fine.
Is there anyway to skin blizzard action bars ? I kinda use them I dont like to use bartender or anything else ty
You can use one of the outdated add-ons, like the one that Phanx linked but there's really no logical reason to not use a bar add-on if you're going to skin buttons.
Right, but the instructions don't work as written, so there's simply no way to follow them exactly. I posted about this and your reply was "well, some other guy wrote that years ago, so who knows", so I did my best with the methods I could find that actually worked.
The cloning script works, but the branch/tag conversion script doesn't.
I think I used:
git for-each-ref --format="%(refname:short) %(objectname)" refs/remotes/tags \
| while read BRANCH REF
do
TAG_NAME=${BRANCH#*/}
BODY="$(git log -1 --format=format:%B $REF)"
echo "ref=$REF parent=$(git rev-parse $REF^) tagname=$TAG_NAME body=$BODY" >&2
git tag -a -m "$BODY" $TAG_NAME $REF^ &&\
git branch -r -d $BRANCH
done
This sounds miserable, as no GUI client for Git I've ever seen has this functionality -- they all just "push tags". If I wanted to type crap on the command line all the time, I'd use Linux. My first several computers ran DOS, and I don't see why anyone would voluntarily go back to that for basic everyday functionality. :p
SourceTree, from Atlassian (BitBucket.org guys), actually has an option to not push tags.
Unfortunately, that still confused the old packager.
Once you turn packaging back on, it would get into its usual scheme of building broken old packages all the time.
Good thing it's got a long-overdue spanking coming. :p
Phanx: In Git, tags are just pointers to a specific commit. Whereas in SVN, tags actually create their own commit. What I did was abandon the idea that I wanted to include all of the old tags since their only real purpose in Git is to trigger/mark a release. And I neither want, nor need those older "releases".
So there's basically two options:
1. Delete all the old tags and only use tags for current/future releases (what I'm doing).
2. Don't push tags along with your commit pushes. Instead, push only the tags you want packaged, separately. That way, you can keep your old tags locally, if only for the sake of history. You could also just leave them un-pushed until the new packager is brought online.
As far as the actual conversion process, I'm using Ruby and SVN2GIT. It makes it so much easier, as it clones the repo and converts the tags/branches to their git equivalents in one fell swoop. Then I just do some clean-up (included removing the old tags, as I've no use for them once I've logged them. But that's optional), push it to a staging repo on BitBucket, clone it back down so that the repo is clean of all the SVN stuff and then push it to WoWAce/GitHub.
Torhal: So with new packager, is it set up to only create packages if the current tag/commit is actually newer and is a higher "version"? Because rebasing dates is a pain in the ass. :P
Random blurb: Rebasing with SourceTree is SO much easier than using Bash if you need to fix typos, etc. Then you can follow it with a blanket rebase using the --committer-date-is-author-date flag for historical goodness. :)

Ah. This is what the message was about. No sure what "Hermes" is but Phanx is correct. Add-ons support Masque, not the other way around.

Along with what Phanx said: At the point you're using Masque, there's really no logical reason to not be using a third party action bar add-on.
