Neuron  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4.18
by: Soyier, Maul

Neuron development is on an indefinite hiatus upon the launch of WoW 10.0. If you are interested in helping with development efforts to push the project forward into Dragonflight, please reach out to Soyier.

Introduction:
Neuron is a full featured action Bar addon for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

Important Note: Neuron tentatively works with World of Warcraft: Classic and The Burning Crusade: Classic, but none of our developers actively play Classic, so support and bug fixes are offered without any guarantee. Realistically, many bugs in Classic require max level characters to debug, and none of us have any such characters. Outside help with Classic is always welcome!

Making add-ons is a lot of work! Your help goes a huge way to making my add-on work possible. If you would like to Donate, Github Sponsors is the preferred method as they are currently matching donations dollar for dollar and take zero cut.




Want to contribute?



Example:


Theme Support:
Neuron inherits all theming courtesy of the Masque addon. Neuron has full Masque compatibility, and the theming options found in Masque are quite in-depth, not to mention the robust portfolio of skins made to support Masque. In short, you can make your bars look any way you like!

Features:
  • Neuron features an unlimited number of macros. You can create as many bars/buttons as you want/need per character!
  • 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, last but not least, MASQUE support!

Graphical Editor:
Neuron contains a graphical bar editor that allows for nearly endless customization to bar shape, size, orientation, and much more! Further, Neuron has neither the limitations on max number of bars nor on the max number of buttons per bar, as you might find in addons such as Bartender4 or Dominoes.

Disclaimer:

Neuron is a fork of the amazing Ion Action Bars addon started by Connor Chenoweth aka Maul, for World of Warcraft Legion and onwards. All credit for the bulk of this addon should go to him accordingly, along with SLOKnightFall for his maintainership throughout the years. I, Soyier, take no credit for the idea or implementation of this addon prior to my adoption of the code in the Fall quarter of 2017.

Community Help!

I could use the communities help with this request:

Right now the language support for Neuron is woefully lacking, and I would love any multi-lingual persons help doing translations. Right now we have a working English Localization file, and a partial (very partial) german translation. I would love to see a spanish/french/or any other language translations though.

If you would like to help, please get in touch over on github, and start submitting patches/pull requests (or just send me the translation .lua files), and I'll make it happen. Please use the enUS file as your template.

Also note, the addon is in fluid development, meaning that translation strings are subject to change, so keeping up with the translations long term is a huge plus for not just me, but for the whole community.


Thanks!

Oh, and btw, I'm taking a week and a half off for a vacation in Canada on the 19th through the 29th. Just so you all know that I haven't abandoned you. :-) Merry Christmas!

Ok so interesting development. First, I made it so the GUI will show the stance option for shamans, the reason it wasn't is because there's a condition that GetNumShapeshiftForms() must be >=1 for the stance button to show, but at least for my shaman it comes back as 0. Secondly, I can't replicate your bug. Ghost wolf doesn't make my bar switch, even with the stance enabled. So this is sufficiently confusing.
That... is weird. For what it's worth I just realized I'm having the same issue with shadow form on my priest, when I'm out of shadow (ie. just rezzed, in today's case) my main action bar changes.

Outside chance that by making the stance option show you actually "fixed" it... it may have been the combination of stance being enabled in the settings while the option was disabled in the game causing my issue. If you have a build with the change you made I can test it with my priest (ie. I won't touch anything in the meantime).

Bar not updating abilities while Prowling

Hello there. First of all, thanks for this awesome addon, been using it since it was called Macaroon XD.

I've read a bit here about the issue with the stealth and druids, but haven't found the issue I'm having.

I've always played this way: when in any form, if I press and hold ALT the current bar switches to the spells and abilities that don't require a specific form. But now, with Neuron, when I press ALT while Prowl the bar doesn't change, well, it does change, but the abilities icons don't update. Example:

I use the keybind K for Shred. When I press Alt it changes to Regrowth, and if I press Alt+K it starts casting it. This works in bear form too. But, if I'm in Prowl and press Alt, it won't show Regrowth, but if I press Alt+K it will shapeshift to caster form, cast it, but the icon remains as Shred, and it won't change/update until I shapeshift into Bear or Cat Form without Prowl.

I've never needed a specific stealth bar, since druids historically had only had a couple abilities that required stealth and I prefered to macro those abilities instead of creating a whole stealth bar for them. But with this issue I've tried to created a stealth bar (with the stealth requirement activated) to see if that would fix it, and it doesn't.

What am I missing here? Thanks

Keybindings

Is there a way to do different keybinds for different specializations or is it still stuck to one set of keybindings per profile?

I have a problem. Bars (menu,bag) and target frames keep disappearing.

On a fairly frequent basis my menu and bag bars dissapear and reset to the default new bar position with no buttons assigned. When this happens my target and focus frames reset also. This is happening across all of my toons (12 alliance and 12 horde).

When Neuron was released I rebuilt all of my bars (action, menu, etc..) from scratch. Since this problem has started I have tried deleting the bars and recreating them but the same problem occurs. It's a huge pain to reset these bars so often on 24 toons. This has never happened before Neuron. Any thoughts?


My UI setup with menu and bag bars along with target and focus frames.

What is the visibility options set on those bars? Do you have all the visibility options checked? When the bars dissapear, are they just hidden or do the bars actually get removed.

Are all toons inheriting a shared profile?

Another question about keybinds (and this one seems far fetched but I'm experiencing it): has anyone noticed any problems with a key bound to 3 not being recognized if you press 3 while also strafing with the D key?

Thank you for the response Soyier.

The profiles are all initially created from a single toon. It's the toon I made the first Neuron profile on, my main. Every other toon has the profile copied to it from my main via the "Interface -> Addons -> Neuron -> Profiles -> Copy From" option for the Neuron addon.

The bars in the screenshot are not hidden and as you can see in the picture the menu and bag bars are at the bottom and at "1" alpha. The action bars in the middle are only visible because they are set for combat or mouse over and I have the mouse hovering over most of the middle bars to make them visible. Usually the action bars are at ".08" alpha for visibility's sake while not in combat.

I should have worded the earlier post better. The menu and bag bars do not "disappear" as in being removed. The button count on the menu and bag bars is changed to "0" and the bag and menu bars reset to the default position which is where all bars initially appear when I create a new bar.

What I have to do is go into edit mode, change the "menu button count" back to 11 from 0 and the "bag button count" back to 5. Yay, I have buttons again. Then I have move the bars from the default new bar position back to where they were.

This only happens to the menu and bag bars. All of the action bars are fine and nothing needs to be done with them when this happens. The weird thing is that my "blizzard" (not an addon) target and focus frames reset also when this occurs. And it's not happening every time and to all toons at once. It's sporadic and random. But it has happened, I think, to every toon I play. And every time I have to fix the Neuron menu and bag bars I have to unlock and re position the Blizzard target and focus frames to where they are in the included image, from their default positions. Because they go back to the default position. Weird.

My wife has until recently been on the older ION code. She had no problems. After I moved her to Neuron it has started to happen to her also.

The only thing I have tried is deleting both the menu and bag bar and recreating them (for each toon). That didn't work. Since I created everything from scratch when going to Neuron I'm confused. The apparent randomness of it isn't helping. Lol....

FYI, I opened the source files in Notepad++ and had a look see. Man, I feel for ya. Been a while since I wrote anything outside of scripts, PHP, and some C. It looked fairly daunting to me though. :\

Might put on my thinking cap and try to understand the addon.

Any good links for lua and writing addons??

I would highly recommend Intellij with the Lua plugin. I'm makes the whole process a lot easier.

Sorry I can't look into it ATM, I'm on vacation in a different country until the new year :-)

Not specifically although I have strafe bound to Q/W to free up A/D for other purposes.

I recall that some keyboards can have issues with certain key combinations, yours may have a limitation. Try another type of keyboard if possible and see if that works.

(I don't have an issue with E3, 3 happens to be my spammable-while-moving button on all my toons that have such a thing so I know it doesn't have issues)

I've used the same keyboard for 8 or more years without having an issue and I've only noticed the problem recently. I can't say for sure it began when switching to Neuron but it seems possible to me. The keys all work normally on their own but the combination of 3+D is a no go.

Thanks for the reply. Is that something that's on the backburner for now?
