Spell Book - Spell Rearranging

drapeta · 02-10-10, 03:14 PM

I looked around but didn't see anything like this
So for the more dynamic and smarter people out there..

There are anal retentive people like me, who would really like to be able to arrange their spells inside of thier spellbooks so that it makes sense to them

For example: Druid has four different sets of things under thier feral spells
It would be so nice if I could group them myself so that all the cat spells, tree, moonkin, and bear spells were close to each other.

There are other such things but this is just something i noticed which was absent. Perhaps it is not possible to rearrange the spell book, if not then, thanks for reading.

I've never seen anything like that, and not sure if anything like that would even be possible.

That could be why it doesn't exist!

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be possible, a pain to do thought.

That was my thought. My concerns were the functions that use its position in the spellbook to get its information. Does it use a fixed spellbook system or one that we could set up ... but would be an interesting and erm maybe fun project rofl.

I've never really played the spellbook code, but you would likely have to reimplement the entire thing rather than hijacking Blizzards.

iirc, the reasoning for this addon existing is not for a lack of trying. It had to do with taint and needing to still be able to use the spellbook in combat.

Then again, if you created your very own spellbook addon to completely replace the default spellbook (instead of modify it) then this might work...

I'm not sure about dragging spells, but if you write your own spellbook you could use the secure wrapper system and a lot of caching to keep it working on combat. But that's a lot of work for something you don't use that often.
