Ion Action Bars

Version: Lithium 3.1.2a

by: Maul, Jrosk, SLOKnightfall

Introducing Ion - Version 3 "Lithium"

Ion is a macro-based action bar addon. It can stand on its own or supplement any other action bar addon or even the default Blizzard UI.

Official Thread - Report Bugs & Request Features - Source Code

Modules:
Ion comes with 4 modules that can be used for a full featured action bar experience. These modules are optional, but it is highly recommended that they be used for the best experience.

Features:

Ion features an unlimited number of macros. You can create as many bars/buttons as you want/need per character!
Are you a keybinder extreme? Use the button storage area for all your macros/keybindings! No buttons on screen needed!
Are you a clicker extraordinaire? As many buttons on the screen you want where you want, when you want!
Macros the size of Texas! Up to 1024 characters in length!
Maul's unique mouse-over key-binding system - where the mouse-over binding system was born!
Many other of the favorite desired bar addon features and then some!
And, importantly, MASQUE support!

Graphical Editor:
Ion contains a graphical bar editor that allows for a nearly endless customization of bar shape, size, orientation, etc, that has neither limitations on max number of bars nor the number of buttons per bar. Further all of the options found in the graphical bar editor can also be set using the below command structure:

Lithium 3.0 - Update to WoW 7.3
-Bug fixes
-FAQ rework
-PlaySound fix

Helium 2.1.1 - Bug fixes

Helium 2.1 - Update to WOW 7.2
- Removed legacy morph spell code
- Removed legacy trap launcher code
- Code clean up
- Reworked Rogues stealth bars to use the stance setting. This should allow them shadow dance to change bars correctly. This change will probably result in lost old style stealth layouts.
- Added a Shadow Dance bar state for Subtlety rogues when using the "Stealth" bar state. This allows for a separate Stealth and Shadow Dance bars to be used. Users can opt to remap the Stealth bar to the Shadow Dance state if they want a single bar state
- Fix for issue where dragging a item to the bar when the editor was open would overwrite the home state macro.
- Fixed issue where macro text would not clear between bar states.
- Fixed some issues with flyouts not generating correctly.
- Added flyout macro generator to the button editor window.

khurzog A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 265 File comments: 200 Uploads: 0	just coming back from using ElvUI for a few years, 2 things that are just completely driving me crazy setting up though. first the extra action bars/zone bar won't go away and/or show up appropriately. i honestly would be fine not even controlling those with ION, but deleting the bars off ion seem to still block the default ones second, i play a sub rogue, which has a complex rotation of swapping in and out of stealth and shadow dance, plus the added confusion of the subterfuge talent, which allows stealth abilities to be cast 3 seconds after stealth breaks. blizzard recently went back on a change of letting shadow dance access the stealth bar. for now i had to select both stealth and stance, which comes up as a second stealth bar when editing, so now it changes on both for stealth and shadow dance, but 2 major problems. vanish is not activating the stealth bar instantly, rather after i cast something or hit a modifier. and also, ion does not take into account subterfuge time, which i suppose wouldn't be expected except for the fact that ElvUI and (i assume) default does, and it makes the spec a lot more complicated without that switch happening hope that makes sense. i was really looking forward to using ion again. best action bars ever __________________ Khurzog/Rubysoho/Goodwill/Outerspace/Konfusion/Didimydoe/Lightweight/Brassmonk/Cowrageous/Dontpush/Suspicious/Sudoku/Cowchpotato/ Betrayou/Falsehero/Udyed/Marybaby Last edited by khurzog : 09-02-16 at 10:56 PM.

Confirming this post. ~0.5s lag when looting, selling, or consuming an item. Basically any time the inventory changes. Only occurs while the main addon is loaded. Makes it frustrating to mass sell/desposit/withdraw things as well as skin.

Fix plez :[

Just search Ion's folder for "collectgarbage" with grepwin and remove any calls of it. A call to that function looks like this: "collectgarbage()". You can remove literally anything that looks like that in any WoW addon and it'll keep working fine. It may use slightly more memory, but its performance should never suffer unless that addon is constantly creating new frames and removing references to them. I don't believe Ion does that.

In short, collectgarbage() calls are what is causing the freezes. Remove them and the freezes go away. I did and I am happier now.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it and remove those calls.

I'm looking into the lag issues and am trying to figure out what is causing it. For the jump in memory, I'm guessing that it could be in part that a lot of new features were finally added between the Hydrogen & Helium versions. Additionally ION went from only having to keep info for 2 bars up to needing to keep track of 3 to 4 depending on the class. It is something that I'm also looking into and I'm going to make an attempt to optimize things a bit more, it is just a matter of having the time.

Re: Preventing abilities from populating the Blizzard bar on spec change?

Is anyone aware of a good way to prevent this from happening, either via add-on, some way to set Ion buttons to block any action or some other method?

darrynmsmith A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Paged Issues Hello! Thank you thank you thank you, SLOKnightfall for keeping Trinity/Macaroon/Ion alive! The new Legion update is great, just about everything is back to normal. However, a new little thing has popped up. I hav an issue with a paged bar. When I log in or reload ui, paging only shows me the first two pages (eg 1 > 2 > 1 > 2 > 1 > 2 > 1 etc. ). Oddly, if I change zones via hearthstone or using a portal, the paging goes back to normal. (eg 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 1 etc. ). Weird! I've tried completely destroying the paged bar and rebuilding it from scratch, but the behavior persists. Further, I built a second paged bar for testing and it suffers the same problem. Sooooo, I thought I'd put this out there in case anyone else is having this issue. For now, I make a habit of logging out somewhere obscure and hearthing to my garrison first thing when I log in. A little wonky, but Ion is just too worth it. Last thing: Is there a way to buy SLOKnightfall a coke? Thanks again bro, don't know where I'd be without your hard work. Last edited by darrynmsmith : 08-24-16 at 11:02 PM.

Trysor A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 30 Uploads: 0	Memory Usage After the last update, Memory usage for Ion went up to 72MB for me, on a fresh install. Usually it was below 20MB. Wiped all saved vars, both in savedVars folder and in character specific folder. Is this intended? Garbagecollection does not gather it all. It remains at around 72MB after the GC, so all of this is still referenced somewhere.

Any suggestions?

The last update added an option to hide the minimap button. It looks as if the default setting was set to have it hidden. You can show it again via the main settings via the interface window or by /ion menu

Ohh, I found it. I feel stupid... I double-checked my Sexymap settings but didn't bother to check Ion's.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Pet bar is still always showing the grid

That is the correct folder and should fix the showing for characters without pets. The grid is a separate issue that you pointed out in your code comment a while back in which the function that should be handling it stops before anything can be done. I just looked at some of the code on Github to see if that was something I did and couldn't remember why, but it looks like Maul did and has been that way since 2012 or longer.

Yeah, it's entirely possible that the issues with the grid aren't easily solvable and someone tossed that code in to avoid the side effects that I'm willing to live with so I'll manually adjust my own code for now, it's good enough for my purposes with those modifications, I rarely adjust buttons on pet bars and the workaround is simple enough when I do need to. Thanks for checking.

Unrelated question - did the recent update include fixes for dragging macros to the bar? Since I broke the LUA file by doing that I've been avoiding any macro dragging at all so I haven't gotten up the courage to test.

[Edit] Assuming by "main" folder you mean the account-level one, that worked in terms of showing/hiding in general, looks like, although the grid still shows for unused buttons on the pet bar, does that not happen for you as well?

I'll probably just wipe all of my SavedVariables Ion-Petbar.lua files later tonight to see how that goes.
