Condensed SpellBook  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.12
by: LBXZero [More]

Replaces the standard spell book, this spell book lists the highest rank of each spell in the book. To access the lower ranks, just hover over the spell and a list will pop up of all ranks, given there are 2 or more ranks available in your spell book.

This spell book was intended to reduce the clutter in the spell book while keeping all of the original spell book's functionality.

If you have any bugs, problems, or suggestions for this mod, you can post them in this thread below.

WotLK UPDATE:
I have provided a new version for WotLK Beta. That new version only works with WotLK because it takes advantage of some UI changes.

From Version 1.10 to 1.11 and 1.12:

Fixing bugs from reorganizing code.

From Version 1.02 to 1.10:
Reorganized code.
Added a button to switch between this spell book and the original one for mods that are dependent on the original spell book.

Not to be a negative nancy, but what is the purpose for using lower rank spells anymore? Did they not add in a system whereby using a lower rank actually costs MORE mana than using the max rank?

Well, I went searching one day and couldn't find any mods that improve the spell book. So I tried to make my own. Thinking back to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 3 tries sank into the swamp, but the 4th one stayed.

And for WotLK, I began anew because the standard spell book can list just the highest rank spells or all spells, yet it does not provide how CSB displays the lower ranks.

Eventually, I will add a stance filter, but I need to research all of the spells and such.

I believe Blizzard was going to add the feature of only showing the highest ranks without me making this mod. I just manage to provide one for everyone until WotLK is released.

The tab overlaps because you do not have a pet with a spell book summoned. I set the tab there in preparation for the Glyphs tab.

I have spent this weekend just playing in Northrend to see how everything is working normally. So I will get a new version started by next week if fate does not plan anything else.

Unfortunately, this mod might retire when WotLK gets released due to a new feature in the standard spell book.

because you asked for opinions regarding to keep up this mod or not.

its simple... if the new spellbook shows only ALL spellranks or ONLY the highest, please keep it up. It's very nice to see all ranks of one specific spell.
seeing all ranks of all spells or just none is... blah *g*

i hope, you understand what i mean... my english is not so good.

I wished I did not have to go to the switch button, but trying to make the addon be able to interact with the mod would make the available lower rank spells unavailable to them. So far, that is the only solution I had.

Awesome! NOW this is an amazing, rather than a broken, mod. I think I know why I thought it wasn't working with DrDamage: My Feral druid has Tiger's Fury (Rank 4) (and several other feral abilities) that complete replace the previous ability. So it said Rank 4, but no other abilities were popping up. Even though they wouldn't show up in the spellbook even without this mod. Then when I disabled DrDamage and logged in again, I must've looked at some other spell that did pop it up properly.

Thank you so much for adding the switcher button. It's ... hardly ideal, but it's functional, and makes this one usable. You're awesome!

Oops. I kept uncompressed folders of certain changes and did not change that to the proper name before copying. Will get a fix out quick for the folder structure.

I have just uploaded version 1.11. It is a quick fix for the folder and the logic error in loading.

Somehow the logic error in loading evaded me when I was testing.

At first, I wanted to change how the spell book showed the spells, which was working on my 2nd try. There was a fatal problem involving the structure of the original spell book; the spell buttons were being tainted. In order to get pass that problem, I had to make a separate frame to replace the original.

For DrDamage, it is working exactly like the normal spell book works on my end.

For Trinity and Clique and any mod or addon that affects the spell buttons, I found it is not best to use my mod until we can provide special compatibility solutions. The problem is more than setting the original SpellBookFrame and SpellButtons to look at my frame and buttons but also working with the special spell listing frame that displays the hidden lower rank spells.
