Myslot
Myslot
Copy your whole UI setup to any character — action bars, macros and keybinds — with one text string.
Setting up a new alt, moving to a new account, or rebuilding after a UI reset? Myslot exports your setup as a short, copy‑paste friendly text. Paste it on any character — even a different class — and click Import.
Browse and share profiles at <https://myslot.net>.
Features
- Action bars — every bar, including the main action bar pages, stance bars and the Skyriding bar
- Macros — both account‑wide and character‑specific
- Key bindings
- Click Cast Bindings (Retail)
- Cooldown Manager layouts (Retail)
- Talents (Retail) — see the profile's talent loadout string, get warned when it differs from yours, and load it into the talent window with one click
- Cross‑class & cross‑account — spells, items, mounts and pets you don't have are skipped with a clear message; unowned mounts can fall back to a random mount
- Saved profiles — keep up to 100 exports in game, sort by name / date / class and filter to your class
- Automatic backup — your current setup is saved before every import, so you can always roll back
- Choose what to import or clear — pick exactly which bars, macros and bindings to apply
- Fast & safe — asynchronous import with a progress bar, blocked during combat, CRC‑checked text
- Minimap button and
/myslotslash command
Supported game versions
Retail (The War Within / Midnight), Classic Era & Anniversary, Burning Crusade, Wrath, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Titan and WoW Forever. Options that a game version doesn't support are hidden automatically.
Usage
Export
- Type
/myslot(or click the minimap button) to open Myslot - Click Export
- Copy the text and save it anywhere — a text file, Discord, email, or myslot.net
Import
- Type
/myslotto open Myslot - Paste the exported text into the text box (or pick a saved profile)
- Choose what to import, then click Import
Importing a profile exported with talents other than the ones you are using asks for confirmation first — a profile's action bars rarely fit another build.
Talents (Retail)
Myslot doesn't import talents with the rest of a profile, but helps you switch to them:
- The profile's talent loadout string is shown in the Talents box under the text box — click it to select the string and copy it with Ctrl+C, e.g. for the talent window's Import.
- When the profile's talents differ from yours, click Apply talents: they are saved as the talent loadout
Myslot(replacing the previous one) and the talent window opens with it selected. Review it there and click Apply Changes to switch to it. - A profile saved before a talent tree change (a patch or hotfix) shows Talents out of date; it can still be loaded, but check it carefully since talents may have moved.
- The profile must be for your current specialization, and talents can't be changed in combat.
Talent loadout strings only exist since Dragonflight, so none of this is shown on Classic versions.

Build your own Myslot
- Clone the source code into
Interface\AddOns\Myslot
$ git clone https://github.com/tg123/myslot.git Myslot
- Run the tests (Lua 5.1 + luabitop)
$ lua5.1 ci/run.lua
- Run the tests in game — a git checkout loads the test suite (it is stripped from CurseForge/Wago packages), then type:
/myslottest -- run all tests
/myslottest <filter> -- run only tests whose name matches <filter>
The results are shown in a pop-up you can copy with Ctrl+A / Ctrl+C. Tests cannot run in combat.
Changing Protobuf
Myslot use a modified version of lua-pb to serialize/deserialize the data. You may want to change the data structure sometimes if you want add some new things to export.
Please check lua-pb about how to generate protobuf stub files.

Posted Aug 20, 2024TY TY TY! Just what I needed coming back from Pandaria Remix with new alts. Still testing, but I have default with where I like my mount and buttons I use with all my characters. I will try taking mains and other alts that I have already set up and try moving class button layouts around. I use this with Bartender FYI.

Posted Aug 18, 2024First, great idea. Didn't even know something like this was possible until I went hunting around to find something that I can use to set certain action bars the same for every toon in my account.
But I do have some feedback and hopefully it is seen as constructive.
I realize that you are making changes to keep up with changes that the game makes and also adding new features but it doesn't appear that the description here hasn't been updated to keep up with those changes.
So, I found it a bit confusing reading the description and trying to use this. I just don't understand exactly how to use this to accomplish what I want.
I tried a couple of approaches trying to understand and like pizza1776 I found that if I try to ignore this on the import, it doesn't skip those bars but clears them.
I also found the same behavior when I ignored certain things on an export and then just did an import without ignoring anything, those items that were ignored on the export are now cleared on the import. I don't know if that is by design or is an issue but I found that part more confusing.
I also not sure about the purpose of the force import box. What does that mean or do exactly?
Also, a possible suggestion as your description has the command line items to use to clear action bars and the other parts. So, it seems like that you wanted to implement that in the UI and put it as part of the import process. But I don't understand how that part works or doesn't work in conjunction with the import, especially if other ignore things are selected on the import. Anyway, the suggestion I have is to just move the clear operations from the import button to it's own clear button (like the export/import) and have the operations on that only. That makes the intent clear and also makes it independent of the import process.
In conclusion, I really do appreciate the effort to even to do this type of addon and appreciate it. I'm just not sure exactly how it is supposed to work or how I'm supposed to use it because I'm not getting the results I expect.
Thanks.

Posted Aug 20, 2024n reply to wowgamer59:
Thanks
you should just click export then save export string somewhere
paste and click import when you want to restore old layout
the `>` button is for ppl want to customize exported string or ignore some setting during import
about the UI
i have to admit that `IGNORE during` is really a bad UI
it caused too many confusions and even caused empty export string (see issue https://github.com/tg123/myslot/issues/60)
i am trying to refine the ui to make less confusion, any suggestions are welcomed

Posted Aug 21, 2024In reply to oishii1992: Well, I guess part of my confusion are the saved "profiles". I guess that's what you call in the drop down bars. As you change from one to the other, the text in the window changes so I though when you did an export, that's what the save was for. To save it. Which is why I don't understand the copy out to somewhere else in the description or in your comment.
That's where I don't understand exactly how all of this is supposed to work.
Thanks.

Posted Jul 28, 2024Hi, I'm not sure if this is a feature request or an issue, but the menu that is titled "Ignore during Export" does not ignore bars, it wipes them. Those are two completely different actions and thus, does not do what I was hoping for. I would like the option to just ignore certain bars in an export, if that is possible. Thanks.

Posted Jul 29, 2024In reply to oishii1992: Yes, I am using the latest version. I am able to ignore bars when importing, so it does work. Just if I try to make an export with bars ignored, importing that export will remove all buttons from the bars which were ignored on export. Does that make sense?
Edited to add that in my test import that worked, I asked to ignore Bar1 and it did. However, I just did an import wherein I asked it to ignore Bars 4&5 and it did not ignore those bars. So it is not working for me.

Posted Aug 2, 2024In reply to oishii1992: Oh, I see. This must be something that Bartender is doing to throw off the bar references, then. I tested on my client, where I use ElvUI and your addon works as expected. It's only on my wife's client with Bartender that things act weird. Thanks for the replies to help clear it up.

Posted Jul 26, 2024Hello, would it be possible to use your addon to copy the settings (bars, buttons, hotkeys aso) from one spec to another? in sod with dual spec all the buttons got another layout and its really annoying for classes like shaman tank/enh, rogue tank/dps, mage heal/dps to recreate the entire layout for just change a few buttons.
would be really cool if one could copy the buttons and layout from one spec to an other.

Posted Jul 3, 2024In reply to oishii1992: errors seems gone, import goes through on beta. Also blizzard updated and launched 11.x PTR and you can use that instead of beta, should be available to everyone for testing.
