About the shapeshift bar:
can't really make it dynamic (and there's actually no point, as it's only matters for holder size)
Thing is that NUM_SHAPESHIFT_SLOTS always returns 10, and I can't think of other _SANE_ way to do that.

So screw that, however you did enlighten me that there could be class/spec combinations with more than 5 stances, so in the next update 6 is gonna be default value for the shapeshift bar.

Originally posted by waha
I've noticed a few issues with m_ActionBars playing my resto/feral druid. If I change specs from resto to feral the prowl paging hack won't work until I reload the UI. It's not a big issue really but maybe it can be fixed?

This one is tricky, I simply can not test it myself... therefore debugging becoming a huge headache and PITA. Last time I tried to fix the eclipse bar using my friend's druid, his account got suspended until he changed his password, and that's incredibly annoying

but I have an idea how it is possible to fix this:

lua Code:

local button, buttons
    for i = 1, NUM_ACTIONBAR_BUTTONS do
        button = _G["ActionButton"..i]
        self:SetFrameRef("ActionButton"..i, button)
    end  
    self:Execute([[
        buttons = table.new()
        for i = 1, 12 do
            table.insert(buttons, self:GetFrameRef("ActionButton"..i))
        end
        ]])
    self:SetAttribute("_onstate-page", [[ 
          for i, button in ipairs(buttons) do
            button:SetAttribute("actionpage", tonumber(newstate))
          end
        ]])
    RegisterStateDriver(self, "page", GetBar())

Basically this part is responsible for overriding the default paging behavior, and it seems it gets reset once you change specs, so _probably_ adding another event for this function and particularly this part of code to listen will fix this problem.

Obviously I'm talking about ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED event, but as I said without the ability to debug it on my own I can not fix it.

EDIT:
so try this:

Code:

mainbar:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
mainbar:RegisterEvent("ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED")
mainbar:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" or event == "ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED" then
    local button, buttons

2mave
engineering mounts do not have exit vehicle button by default so no reason to expect it with this add-on

I was looking for a Dominos replacement for a long time and this is uhhhmazing. So yay! Second, the pet bar seems to have a mind of it's own. I didn't have this problem with the last version, but my Feral Spirits pet bar spawns about ~50px higher than where I have the pet bar set. I'd like for it to be here-ish, where my hunter's bar is. Instead, it spawns a good chunk higher than where I have the y-position set. To compensate, I'm having to move my hunter's bar down extra low so that my shaman's bar isn't in the middle of my Omen. Do you have any idea of what might be causing this?

ooh yeah, damn, as I mentioned few times already this add-on is part of my UI and in MonoUI I intend petbar to be right on top of the totembar so thats why I had to implement a little script that would move petbar a little higher for shamans.

I still gotta make some sort of more universal solution for this issue, but for now if you want to fix it, just replace

lua Code:

local petbar -- some mombo jumbo stuff for pet bar positioning for Shamans (specifically for MonoUI)
if myclass == "SHAMAN" then
    petbar = mAB.CreateHolder("holder_PetBar", {a= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].a, x=  cfg.config_petbar["Position"].x*1.25, y= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].y*1.25+cfg.config_totembar[2]+10})
else
    petbar = mAB.CreateHolder("holder_PetBar", {a= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].a, x=  cfg.config_petbar["Position"].x*1.25, y= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].y*1.25})
end

with a simple line:

Code:

local petbar = mAB.CreateHolder("holder_PetBar", {a= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].a, x=	cfg.config_petbar["Position"].x*1.25, y= cfg.config_petbar["Position"].y*1.25})

Although, for me, not having the Raid button is not a big deal, I really do like, and use, the new Dungeon Journal. Still, this is a great bar mod.
