New plug-in idea......hint xcrystal

[neuralassassin]

Should be pretty easy I think and I was going to try it myself but I can't find the time with work so if anyone else wants to give it a shot I was thinking of putting totemcaddy http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...otemcaddy.aspx into the info panel but my shammys not 30 yet and you need to be 30 for the mod to work so I'm not sure if it can resized enough to get everything in there, but if it could it'd be a nice way to clean up all the totems and what not

[spiel2001]

Is that going to be necessary with the changes in Patch 3.2?

[neuralassassin]

possibly not but i believe totemcaddy is more than just totems seems like they've squeezed some other stuff in there too but im not sure as I havent got a chance to try it yet also depends on whether blizzs implementation is worth a damn

[spiel2001]

From what I understand, they're changing the mechanics of totems so they behave like spells.

[neuralassassin]

ummm totems do behave like spells dont they?
From what Ive read shammys are getting a totem bar where pally auras and pet actions go and they will also have three different spells to drop three different user configurable sets of four totems

[Xrystal]

Yep thats what I understood of it as well.

As to putting TotemCaddy in the info panel. I'm not sure it will be possible unless it has a scaling option as I checked myself if it would fit in there but its too big.

And with the new changes coming out it might be good to wait and see whats in store there. My shammy is 74 now so should be able to see most of it working once they set up the test server.

[eaglepgc]

I've got an 80 shammie. I don't mind being a guinea pig when 3.2 comes out. :-)

[Xrystal]

Well looks like they may have opened up the Test Server for play

There's a 1gb patch after you download the client from the site so I'll have to wait until tonight when most of my family aren't using the computer to download it - rofl. But copied my raiding toon, my shaman and my alchemist and reserving my 4th spot until I can see which items I need to test next

[spiel2001]

So it would seem -- I've copied my tank, and hunter (80s) as well as my lock and priest (73 and 74) and got a premade lvl80 DK, Druid and Shammy on the test server... so I should be able to verify most key functionality as well.

I'm not going to stop public server development just yet as I undestand 3.2 is a ways off and I would like to complete the event engine overhaul in the nUI_UnitAura, nUI_UnitRaidSort and nUI_UnitSpec modules before I do that. I'd also like to complete the layout engine if I can and cut a final release version of nUI+ and nUI Lite, then I'll stop development and cut a PTR version and start the port to 3.2

I'm probably going to shoot for stopping public server development the end of July and cut the PTR version then.

You hit it on the head, that's all it is, it's a bar with 6 buttons, 1 for your "call of air/fire/earth" and one for your totemic recall, and 4 for the totems, you get three sets of totems essentially, one for each call.

It's just a basic stance bar, it's nothing special, though it doesn't work with nUI, though nUI itself is working perfectly except for that on the PTR.

[Xrystal]

Well, finally patched the 1.15gb of patches to the test server to find that my characters hadn't transferred yet and a new shaman doesn't have anything appear straight away for the totem stuff. So, also set a premade transfer going in case that gets transferred quicker. Hopefully in the next couple of days one or the other will appear.

[spiel2001]

Okay --

The new Shammy system is in fact implemented as a completely new bar "MultiCastActionBarFrame" -- so it looks like all I'll have to do is to add it to nUI_SpecialBars and do the work to create the nUI copy of the bar. Shouldn't be too much pain.

[Xrystal]

Bah .. you managed to get in there already .. sigh .. my 3 character copies are still pending and my premade is still pending .. rofl

Ooh, wonder what else will be added to that Maybe the Warlock Demon form spells

Famous last words, my friend!

[Xrystal]

Well finally got in there with my pre made shaman .. here's a few screen shots of a non nUI setup.

[spiel2001]

Okay -- so what's the deal with the little up/down arrow? I presume that's for 4 predefined sets of four totems? How does it work?

[Xrystal]

Kinda like the totem timers addon. The arrow up allows you to select the totem to place in that slot for that Call of * totem bar. The arrow down simply closes it but it also auto closes when you move off of it or at least click on the next up arrow. The Call of * column is the first one and you use that one similarly to select which totem bar to use when placing them all at once.

By the looks of it you can still cast them individually by clicking the buttons singly but for 1 click all 4 down it definitely works.

Edit : Just realised those screenshots need a bit more explaining. Each totem button has an up arrow except the last one. The last one is the new Totemic Recall spell now call Call of Earth. The first one is the currently selected Totem Bar and you can select from Call of Air, Call of Water and Call of Fire. The 4 bars between them are for the 4 different elements with the arrows in their case allowing you to select the respective totem of that element to use for that selected Call of * totem bar.

i would kiss you if you made a plugin for totemcaddy
