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.

- Custom textures are not enabled yet, so anything that isn't a Blizzard asset will show as green. It was the same when they first enabled addons in WoD, so it'll probably come later in alpha. A workaround could be to change some textures to Blizzard ones, but it's not really a big deal.

- The "Display Blizzard Bar" setting kind of works, but is reset to showing every time you relog. I had to tick and untick it to get the blizzard bar to hide every time I logged in.

- Configure mode seems completely broken. I wasn't able to get into it at all - nothing happens when you left click the minimap icon or type /ion config.

- Keybind mode and macro editing seems to be working just fine. Both keybinds and custom macros are working perfectly.

- Cooldowns are not showing up on buttons at all.

- I imported my variables from live and profiles are working fine. Dual spec seemed to break when I activated my third spec but was working before that (for first and 2nd specs). Maybe not so surprising.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad to see that most of the core workings appear to still be functioning, as that will make things easier. Not sure why the config mode is broken as that is more Ion related than WoW based. Not surprised about the 3 spec breaking things, as I think it is only storing info for 2 specs. With luck it should not be to difficult to update to handle the 3rd spec (4th for Druids). As for the rest I'll make note and see what needs to be done the next time I get a chance to log into the alpha.

Thanks for the heads up. I have access to the Alpha, but the last time I logged on they addons were not enabled. I'll have to log in and see what works & what doen't. After that gets squared away then I can start seeing about adding new functionality.

Wipeowt A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	Celebrations An update for ION .... well this has just made my year! I cannot thank you enough for taking this project forward as we slowly move towards Legion. I took a break from WoW due to what appeared to be the community taking a bit of a dip during/following MoP (understandable). Since discovering the addon community all those years ago I transformed my entire user interface (now stands at 109 addons). It doesn't even look like WoW anymore, as I'm sure many of the people visiting this page will relate to. The mainstay and core of this transformation was how I interacted with the game, and after much experimentation I settled on Macaroon as being the most functional, best looking and suitable solution, which has stood the test of time to this day in the form of ION. One thing I do struggle with (maybe it's just me being stuck in a particular modus-operandi) was the removal of single spec profile management for favour of the quite robust and centric profile system now employed and used by seemingly all other addons. With the original setup of Macaroon I would make, say a Prot Warrior layout then save this. When making alts I wouldn't then have to think about if Prot was primary or secondary spec, I just imported the single profile into the require spec number. Now I'm not sure if this is something that may be possible in the future as I realise each button now has it's own primary/secondary spec toggle, but I would love to see this feature implemented in some shape or form once again; although I do understand the underlying functionality may have changed too much to be possible. As for the Helium update, been using it for a few days now on a whole range of toons/setups and it appears to work flawlessly; a big thank you again for fixing some of the anomalies! One thing I have noticed is with the pet bar, it's wonderful you can switch abilities off with a right click again, although to turn them back on requires a left click (this also appears to have changed in the Pet spell frame too since this update). This really isn't a biggie as it does work (yay!). Wasn't sure if you were aware. Another positive is that flyouts are all working fine too this end! Thanks again, your efforts are much appreciated.

Celthair A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Posted two bug reports yesterday Using the bug report feature on the front page of ION to report them. Did you receive them or should I try to duplicate them and add them here? It involve Flyouts and Bars not showing properly (Having place holder buttons).

raysmith A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 29 Uploads: 0	New issue - on one of my alt server toons I added a couple of flyouts, logged out, logged back in and some of my bars had ... well, they weren't showing any buttons. When I went into one in particular it indicated 11 buttons in the config but it should have been 12. Decreasing it brought back the buttons but I was actually able to decrease the button count to -1, at 0 it still showed a button. I'm not sure what caused the issue (it's the first and to this point only time I've seen it, although it affected maybe 4 of that toon's bars but not the others, seemed like dual-spec bars were NOT impacted for some reason?) but there seems to be some sort of indexing issue going on. I logged back out and in after putting it back to 10 or so buttons, this time it showed 9 and there were obviously at least a couple of missing buttons so I tried adding more buttons but the right arrow to increase the button count didn't work, it stayed at 9 and the bar didn't change. Clicking the LEFT button actually INCREASED the button count to 10. Now it seems to only allow me to decrease the count, the first time I hit the LEFT button after hitting the RIGHT button it goes back to 10 buttons from whatever the count was previously, then continuing to hit left decreases the count. Hitting right does nothing, then left resets it back to 10. It's weird. It's not a toon I play often so I'll leave it alone for now in case you need any additional info, I'll probably reset it at some point if not.

Minor wish list item - the flyouts appear to sort alphabetically, I'd prefer if they stayed in the order I put them in.

Should be doable, but will need to change a bit of code to do it. So I'll add it to my list of future improvements.
