WowAce

Experiencing bugs with the totem bar. It suddenly changes location on the screen when I enter combat. Anyone else?

Anyione know how to copy my profile from retail to Forever?

In reply to weltallica:

 In the launcher, click the gear icon next to the play button and select 'open in explorer'.

The file you want is '_retail_\WTF\Account\WOW1\SavedVariables\Bartender4.lua', and should be copied to the same location under '_forever_\'. You may need to replace WOW1 with your wow account name if you have a very old wow account or if you have multiple wow accounts on your battle.net account.

The same process with a different source directory should work to copy your settings from the forever beta; I think that was _classic_beta_ but I'm not sure and I deleted mine already.

In WoW Forever, the Possess Bar option doesn't work with Mind Control. Bar 1 disappears, but no bar replaces it.

Anyone got a working macro to toggle visibility of specific bars? Every one I've found via "The Google" throws errors.

concerning the totem bar moving when in combat: I made it fade out 100% and checked the Hide in Combat button. so its only visible when I hover over it out of combat for when I wanna setup call of elements, and just use regular totem actionbars for the occasional totem placement

to fix [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn 'Bartender4' tried to call the protected function 'MultiCastActionBarFrame:ClearAllPoints()'.

in Bartender4/MultiCastBar.lua, based on stock 4.18.4, are:

Line 19 — replace with:

local MultiCastMod = Bartender4:NewModule("MultiCast", "AceHook-3.0", "AceEvent-3.0")

Insert at line 89, immediately after function MultiCastBar:PerformLayout() and before self:SetSize(...):

-- Blizzard can refresh the action bars when the spellbook opens in combat.

-- Defer all geometry changes until protected frames can be moved again.

if InCombatLockdown() then

MultiCastMod:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED", "ApplySystemAnchor")

return

end

MultiCastMod:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")

This defers protected layout changes during combat and applies them once combat ends. AceEvent also cancels the pending update if the module is disabled. In-game confirmation is still needed.

I tried this last night. It sits quietly until I opened Edit mode. Suddenly the speakers start making this "bbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbdb" sound and Wow says my addons are causing errors. Also, when downloading Bartender "hold to cast" stops working. disabled and it works again. I tried it a few times and anytime i used edit mode all hell broke loose.

Totem bar keeps moving when engaging in combat, after combat ends i goes back to the original position.

@user_7kf7j30z0850rd4y +1 on this issue. very annoying!

@user_7kf7j30z0850rd4y Same!

I play as a druid and when i try to power shift, the bars goes to humain form and dont go to the cat form or bear form i was in before. i have to leave form wait and then go back to whatt ever form i wanted to go in for the right bar to show up.

Totem bars are randomly disappearing. Reloading UI brings them back but it eventually happens again.

Weird visual bug in Forever, for some reason the exp bar keeps moving to the left in combat and then moving back to where it was afterward. Not sure what's causing it.

are we getting the hold to cast repeatedly function back in forever? currently does not work while using bartender 4. going to have to stop using this addon without that

help, if the addon is enabled blizz damage meter doesn't work (and skada)

Is there a way to have Bartender behave like the stock action bars where you can make them "hidden in combat" but they still show up when dragging abilities around on other action bars or if you drag something from the spellbook?

It's sort of a nuisance to have to make in-combat bars visible again just to put abilities on it, especially while leveling when you're constantly moving stuff around or adding new abilities to action bars.

Status bar DIDNT CHANGE if u using some macro with mods like mod:alt mod:shit mod:ctrl, but they still usable
