Neuron

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!

Want to Donate?
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.

***Note:
Do to the name change, your Ion saved bars and profiles will not carry over. It is possible to migrate your settings manually from Ion to Neuron: "You need to go into the saved variables folder and rename all the Ion files to Neuron. The inside the files you need to replace any Ion variable reference to Neuron. Is pretty messy to do unfortunately"

That being said, I apologize for the hassle. And, while the above method may work, I take no responsibility if you end up having a bad time trying to get that to work. The official method is just to create new bars fresh.

3 notes.

First, thanks for all the information on transferring Ion to Neuron, it was completely inconceivable to me that I would have to setup my bars from scratch.

Second, I assume you did it for your bars as well, but you have to use the same method for the Bag, Pet, Status and Menu bar luas. Note that the file names for Neuron do not include "bar" as part of their structure.

Finally, just to clarify, the "Dual spec" to "Multi spec" change is in the GUI as a selection on each bar. I was slightly confused by the comment here until I actually made the changes.

It worked without a hitch. Thanks a lot for the instructions!

Remaking my entire Ion setup would be incompatible with my life.

Yes, part of the change was having some of the files and modules renamed, you caught me! Nice catch though and thanks for letting everyone know, I totally forgot to tell people.

And yes, the Dual Spec to "Multi Spec" change is a GUI change that you just need to toggle. The way it was labeled and coded before was pretty specific towards "dual spec" which was pre-Legion, so one of my changes was reworking how the multi-spec system works, and giving it a new name, i.e. "Multi Spec" which seems a bit more fitting.

Interesting... The highest I have ever gotten Neuron for me is ~20Mb of memory. Is it always this bad or are you doing something in particular that is compounding the memory usage?

I only just started playing again but I watched it just now while idling in my Garrison. It looks like the memory usage goes up by roughly .10% every second or two until it caps out around 40%. For what it's worth, I didn't do a fresh install; I did the work around with my old Ion files from roughly 8-9 months ago.

Upon further testing I've noticed that it doesn't cap around the 40% mark, instead it just slows down and only increases by 0.02% every few seconds.

How are you detecting the memory usage %?

Strange. I cannot replicate this. Standing in my Garrison for ~45min my memory usage is only 9.43MB

This fix makes it so that the menu bar and the bag bars are saved on a per-character basis, rather than on a per-account basis. This was super annoying for anyone who wanted very different profiles per toon. Let me know if it's nice and stable for all of you? You will need to reposition these two bars unfortunately, as the global config won't be transferred over to the character config.

This fix is working for me. Thanks for change.

I have the bar created but can't seem to find the right combination of visibility toggles. Anyone know what should be turned on so that it will behave like the default? (ie visible when there is an extra button and hidden when there is not) Thanks so much for taking up this project. I've been using it since macaroon.

That is the default behavior lol. You aren't the first person to say they had trouble getting the extra action button to disappear when there is no button present, and for each of them the issue was that they were using old profiles. On a fresh profile or fresh toon can you see if the issue persists? I swear the behavior works proper on my end, and I have no idea why it isn't working. (and by fresh profile, I mean to go into the profile menu and say "reset profile").

As far as the visibility toggles, you should just be able to keep them all checked. Most of them have no effect on the extra action bar anyway.

Ok I found the issue. When the extra action bar is made by default, the "No Extra Bar" option in the bar visibility toggles is toggled off, however when you manually create a new extra action bar the bar visibility toggle is default set to on. Toggling it off manually fixes the issue, and I'm working on a fix to make that the default state when making new extra action bars.

*Update: Ok I have fixed this issue now (somewhat hacky but whatever, it's late). If you have an instance of an extra action bar not disappearing still, please delete this bar and remake it (or just toggle the No Extra Bar visibility to off).
