Talented

Talented is a replacement to the default Talent UI, with a lot of added features.

Feature List

See the complete talent tree on a single frame.
Create and view templates for all classes and all pet types.
Set a specific template as a target, and see it when you're spending your next talent point on level up.
Apply complete templates with a single click, after a talent wipe.
Hunters can view the spec of their pet and apply templates to them.
Share your current build with other, or any template you've made.
Import templates directly from the Blizzard Talent calculator, wowhead or wowdb.
Export templates as URL to wowhead, wowdb or the Blizzard Talent calculator.
View and switch to your alternate spec when you've bought it.
Allow pet templates to be imported from and export to wowhead pet calculator.
Inspection of other characters will also inspect their alternate spec, if they have one.
Integrated Glyph frame, similar to the one from Blizzard's Default UI. This frame is independent from Talented main frame, though.
A macro command /talented apply <template> allows to automatically apply a template based on its name.
Shift-clicking on an entry in the template menu opens the template in a secondary frame, allowing to compare two templates side by side.

Supplement

Talented_Loader allows Talented to be loaded only when needed. This improves the time to first login and the memory payload of the game if you don't use Talented in a game session. AddonLoader users do not need this, as it provides mostly the same benefits.

Talented v2.4.3

Talented v2.4.3 fixes a few issues and regressions.

Talented v2.4.2

Talented v2.4.2 adds targets for the pet spec. The target is based on the pet name, in order to give the most flexibility.

Talented v2.4.1

Talented v2.4.1 fix the premature loading of Talented_SpecTabs.
Talented v2.4.1 add support for wowarmory pet talent calculator links (both import and export).
Talented v2.4.1 fix pet talent updating.

Talented v2.4

Talented v2.4 is only compatible with the 3.2.0 patch. It contains the following enhancements:

The 3.2.0 wow patch includes a talent tree change to the Frost branch of Death Knight. Talented v2.4 is compatible with this change. This change means that some death knights templates that invest in frost will be incompatible. Talented will fix these templates and will warn you about them.
Talented v2.4 split the glyph frame support into its own lod module.
Talented v2.4 stops checking the validity of all templates at load time. This makes Talented load faster and use less memory at startup. This means that the invalid templates for death knights will be fixed when you try to select them.
Talented v2.4 adds the point distribution of each templates to the corresponding menu entry, as well as the name of the primary tree.
Talented v2.4 fixes a graphical glitch that occurs when RestartGx() is called.

Previous versions

Talented v2.3 integrated Talented_SpecTabs with Talented.
Talented v2.2 updated the Template menu to remove "Current" and "Alternate" specs. The interface consistently shows "Primary" and "Secondary" spec instead.
Talented v2.2 added the ability for both specs to use a separate target.
Talented v2.2 fixed the last remaining bugs related to pet talents.
Talented v2.2 added an option to add a small space under the talent panes in the main Talented frame so that the different bottom strings and widgets do not overlap with the talents.

works fine and was able to figure out the dual spec thing. was wondering though, if anyone has made a macro to switch between specs. would rather click a button instead of opening talent ui

Oh, I noticed that the glyph window only shows the primary spec glyphs, and not the secondary.

Having problems with importing templates. It tells me that the URL I just copied from wowhead isn't a valid URL. Even if I copy the URL Talented comes up with when I export a template. Said URL works fine at wowhead, but it won't import back in to Talented.

Please report class and locale. This is important to help you. Do you have the "Show lua error" option checked ?

I infer that the class is druid. I have a druid and it doesn't cause any problem with 1.9.6c on live.

I need to be able to reproduce or get an actual error message. Talented will only disable itself after showing an error message.

I am having the same problem as Woolie except my issue is on live. I am using 2.0 alpha as the Curse updater said it was a valid update (sigh). I have since installed 1.96 but I figured the following information may be helpful.

The following is what I did and may be tied to the problem.
1. Talented works fine on my main alliance account.
2. I transferred my horde druid to the same server my alliance account is on.
3. I copied my WTF settings for my Alliance accounts server over to my Horde accounts.
4. I renamed my main alliance characters folder to my hordes name so I would have the same UI/mods etc.
5. Now every time I load up my Horde account Talented does not load. I enable it in the addons list (out of date addons load) but when I go into game the mod does not load. I exit back and check the addons list and the mod is disabled.
6. Works fine on my alliance characters.
Also, I added both account to the new Battle.net account manager yesterday. I am not sure if that has any bearing on this but it's better to let you know than not.

@woolie: Open a ticket if it occurs with the 2.0 alpha. Please report class and locale.

See http://www.wowace.com/projects/talented/tickets/31-conflict-with-cowtip-concerning-tooltips/

CowTip is unmaintained, and has a lot of issues. I would suggest not using it. It forces the tooltip that Talented creates to Show even though Talented never ask it to be shown.

Hey Jerry.

This note for the latest release intrigued me: "merge r442 (working fix for CowTip)"

What was wrong with CowTip and Talented? I stopped using CowTip because it was giving a memory block error, and am wondering if it was related to this.
