Outfitter 

I just went through a round of pain with this until I stumbled on how to create a new complete outfit.

To create a new Complete Outfit:

1. Open Outfitter
2. Click the "New Outfit" button.
3. Set the "Optimize for:" value to "Use Current Outfit".
4. Type in your new outfit name.
5. Click "OK.

And you're all set.

Enhancement Request:

As some one who's used this for a while and has a tank with many complete outfits, I still will go a while with out creating a new "Complete Outfit" set and find my self scratching my head a while to figure this create new Complete Outfit thing out.

Can you add a new button next to New Outfit that's just "New Complete"? Or, create a check box in the New Outfit dialog box labled "Complete Outfit?"? something to make Complete Outfit creation a little more obvious?

Enhancement Focus: Usability, User Experience

I am a Resto Druid. I want to make an outfit for heals and one for dps. I want to create outfits under the "Complete Outfits" tab and for some reason I cant. I click on create new outfit, I named it, and it goes right to the accessories tab and I am not able to use it. Can anyone help?

*Tabards*

I would really appreciate the ability to uncheck the tabard slot and still have the set be considered a "complete set". The reason for this is that Tabard changing is now a big part of the rep grind experience in Wotlk, and frequently having to update all my sets to include the tabard is annoying. I also don't wish to make everything a partial set (with tabard ignored) due to the fact that this allows me to inadvertantly toggle sets using hot keys, something that can cause problems.

Great add-on though, keep up the good work!

Just tried the drag-n-drop outfit creation thing, and it works just fine. That was a really slick idea.

So, here's a new feature idea. I know how new feature ideas do not usually get implemented very quickly, but the core functionality of this idea's not too hard. The time-consuming part would probably be integrating it. So, the idea:

I love hybrid classes. I carry full tanking, healing, and dpsing sets for my paladin and druid, and dps / heal sets for my shaman. The problem is that every new piece of gear I get goes onto a different set, and I'm always getting annoyed at having to switch the right stat box in the character paper doll frame from spell to melee to defense and back again.

My solution for my druid was to write a mod that switches the selected stat page based on forms. Cat --> melee, Bear --> Defenses, Caster form --> spell, etc. However, I think it might be a better solution if Outfitter had the ability to switch those stat pages when I equip an outfit.

Although I don't think "Outfit Display" is a good name for the category where I would put this option, I think that menu is setup perfectly for inserting this option. Just add a category for the stat page, and let the user select which page should be shown when the outfit is activated. Maybe you could rename the menu to "Equip Options" or something.

Again, I recognize this is only my idea, and not sure if others would really care. I would like to know what you think though. "Not going to happen", "Maybe in a year or two if I'm bored", or "Yeah, that could happen in the next three months"?

Thanks - appreciate your response. For the bar, I just want to add my two weapons, feet, and two trinkets - not necessarily outfits. Seems that these type of features is not what your bar is meant for.

Any way to make the Outfit bar act more like the ItemRack bar does? That is, being able to choose which items to show there? Also, any chance for Buttonfacade support?

I'm not sure if I've found a bug or just run into some limitation of functionality.
I'm a druid, and I naturally have a set of gear for dps and a set of gear for tanking. About the only thing that is common between these two sets is the tabard that I'm wearing. But when I change out of a form I want that gear to remain on me. So in other words when I shift to bear form, I want my tanking gear to be swapped in, but when I shift back to normal/caster form, I want that gear to remain on me. Similarly, I'd like that to happen with cat form as well, so when I shift to cat form, my dps gear is swapped in, and when I go back to caster form I want that gear to remain on me.

I thought that I had gotten this to work, what I did was remove all the check marks for all the items (except the tabard) from the Normal and Druid: Caster Form outfits. I tested it and it was working as expected, however later (perhaps after a reload) it stopped working. Now when I unshift I get my Bear Form gear. I've tried blowing away my preferences several times and when I do that and start from scratch is when I get the behavior I'm looking for.

Any thoughts? If you need some more detailed/technical info let me know I'd be happy to supply it.

Ok, so fair enough on the removal of native FuBar support.

However, if I do want to use LDB in order to provide access via Fubar, how would I go about that? Is it as simple as just installing LDB or is there something else I need to install/configure? I read the LDB stuff and even as an addon author (admittedly, I haven't written anything complex), it went over my head.

I should win an academy award for that attitude. Best attitude I've ever seen, like, anywhere.*


*The above is an attitude, boys and girls.+

+the above is definately an attitude.


No, I think that actually sounds "snarkier". Here's why:

While adding "was this intentional?" which implies that the author intentionally did something wrong. Pure genius.

But then what am I to expect from a topsy-turvy world where up is down and down is up?


I've got a better plan: how about we stop splitting hairs? Cause I could do this all day. Moreover, I'm better at it.

Long time reader, first time poster here.

The attitude started with your original post:

Here's your original post, fixed up to be a polite question:

This version removes the snarky "So um... " and the annoyed ":/" emote, which suggest the author did something wrong. It retains the original message, which is that you fail at reading the patch notes of the release causing your issue.

Both of you can move on now.

Nothing at all. I choose whether to ask. You choose whether (and how) to answer.

If answering questions from people phrased in this fashion is such a tremendous grief to you, then don't answer. I can't be responsible for the personal grief you feel at poor decision making. If you're right, and the release notes would have leapt up to answer all my ~ahem~ question, then there'd be no need to answer in the first place- and I'd have found my answer eventually, wouldn't I?

Yes, I didn't read them. Perhaps one of the few times I've failed to. I asked a conversational question and what I get in return is a load of self-righteous soapbox twaddle. What's more, it's a first from you in all the time I've been following and asking questions about your project- at least a year.

Are you having a bad day perhaps? Well then, I offer you my most stringent assurance that I had no part in it.


As for the rest, well, if you don't want to support FuBar, don't. But I use it, and Outfitter, and I'm certain I'm far from the only one. I get the impression that this "miraculous" LDB somehow is inter-compatible with FuBar but I've yet to see any benefit out of it. So I guess if it breaks I'll eventually be calling it from the character pane, and at that point, maybe switch to other gear-swapping mods that can be "bothered" to support FuBar.

As you strenuously pointed out this isn't an inconvenience to you either, you don't get paid, after all. Then again, it's not my intention to provide you with inconvenience- it's my intention to provide myself with convenience (why mod your interface if it's not to make it easier to operate?). Nothing more.

So if none of this makes a bit of difference to you, what's with the attitude?
