Broker EquipSwitch

What is this?
Broker: EquipSwitch is an Addon using the LibDataBroker Data Display Specifications.

Quote:

Data display addons provide a LDB “feed” for an always-up addon to display. These addons can be thought of like RSS feeds, where the display addon is similar to an RSS reader. Display addons could include FuBar, Titan Panel, StatBlocks, LegoBlocks, or any other design out there.

What does it do?
With the PTR Patch 3.1.0 Blizzard introduced a new feature, the Equipemt Manager. It was pulled back for the release of 3.1.0 but released shortly after, in a minor content patch.
This Addon tries to increase the accessibility by providing means to switch predefined equipment sets by just a few clicks.

Features:
- Shows currently used Equipment Set with icon and text
- Shows a list of all defined Equipment Sets with icon and text
- Clicking a Set will equip it, in combat swaping is provided by Blizzard

Broker: EquipSwitch also comes with Broker: EquipSwitchUI.
It is a small display addon that provides a minimap button, it's completly optional.
If you don't have a display addon, maybe this is just for you!
If you don't want a minimap button, don't load Broker: EquipSwitchUI or delete the folder manually.

What it won't do
This addon will not allow you to add, edit or delete equipment sets.
Use the Blizzard UI for this, it's a one-time task anyway.

Feature request are welcome, but don't hold your breath for it.

Some Display Addons
There are some nice display addons, for a list see http://wiki.github.com/tekkub/libdat...dons-using-ldb

Anyway, a check for a guy holding 2 2-handers, then unequipping the offhand prior to putting something in the mainhand would be nice, but once again, I realize that may be beyond the scope for this project.

edit: to clarify, the bug is on the blizzard side of the house, not in this addon.

A valid request. But as you correctly assumed it's beyond what I want this addon to be: A frontend to the Blizzard Equipment Manager for LDB displays (or its own as a button at the minimap).
As anoying as it can be, this is a bug that should be fixed in the implementation from Blizzard.
I'm sorry but I have to decline this requst.

Thanks for your help, but could you please upload it as a ziped textfile?
Copy&Paste from the webpage does not work for me when using a different character encoding than my default ISO-8859.
I don't know if the copied text would display correctly for you ingame.

Fairly often when levelling.

However I do see your point.

Fair enough, but it can be annoying to hit stealth, have it broken and then find out part way through the fight that your dagger hasn't swapped back. Still, it is something that I can work around.

This behavior is intentional. The reasoning behind it is the following:
If you add, edit or delete a set, an event (EQUIPMENT_SETS_CHANGED) is fired. It's the same event for all these three actions.
I can't say for sure what action triggered this event, add, edit or delete.

When you add a set, you are in the newly created set. Not resetting the display to "No Set" would still display the old set that was equiped when you changed your items and added them as a new set.
When you delete a set, not resetting the display would still display the set that is now gone.
Editing a set is the only case where the old and the new set are identical. But it could be posible that you just changed the name or the icon. It still would display the old name and icon.

This is why I reset the diplay to "No Set" when the event is fired. It's not optimal but at least it does nothing wrong. Also, how often do you find yourself editing a set?

There are a couple of addons and macros that achieve the same functionality so I am not asking for this to be added, but is it possible for display to detect this change of equipment and update the display name with the relevant set name if a set is created or perhaps "Unknown Set" if it hasn't? If it helps, of the 3 addons I've been testing Mokhtar's is the only one that detects this change.

If I remember correctly, it did not update without it. I'll test it and remove the function and the callback if it still works. ** Edit: Looks like it updates the icon, even without the function call. I removed the function and the callback it in the new version (1.2.0). __________________ Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

Spellshaper A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 67 Uploads: 3	Like it. Does what is direly needed for easy access, works like a charm, does nothing more than needed. There is just one thing that bugs me: I am using a small script to align my minimap buttons into neat rows. Whenever I swap to another equipment set though, the minimap icon of EquipSwitch bounces off to somewhere else before being snatched back by my script. Is it necessary to update the postion of the icon each time sets are swapped? I can imagine this messes up other addons that rearrange minimap buttons also. Editing out line 32 of Broker_EquipSwitchUI\Core.lua seems to fix that without any detrimental effects. __________________ "We shaman don't command the magic we wield.

lloydbates A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 30 Uploads: 3	The Blizzard UI uses EquipmentManager_EquipSet("SetName") to switch the saved sets. From the EquipmentManager.lua Code: function EquipmentManager_EquipSet (name) if ( EquipmentSetContainsLockedItems(name) or UnitOnTaxi("player") or UnitCastingInfo("player") ) then UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(ERR_CLIENT_LOCKED_OUT, 1.0, 0.1, 0.1, 1.0); return; end UseEquipmentSet(name); end You should not be using UseEquipmentSet, but I think you already know that now. 'Not a Bug' but I'll think about changing the detection to use UseEquipmentSet. If you cast a spell and try to switch a set, the icon will updated even if the set could not be switched. __________________ Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

ereth A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 36 Uploads: 5	Have found a "bug". If you use UseEquipmentSet the display addon wont be updated. /run UseEquipmentSet("SetName1") I use that one to test it. This is a problem becuase I use a macro to swap my gear according to the spec I use and I use this addon to display my current gear/spec. Thanks for reading edit: found a solution. now uses EquipmentManager_EquipSet("SetName1") Last edited by ereth : 05-24-2009 at 11:45 AM.

It does not switch to a set when you enter a stance. It does not react on any player event like this.
It is just a frontend for the newly introduced equipment manager.

As long as Blizzard does not do this, this addon will not do it either.

lloydbates A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 30 Uploads: 3	I just wanted to keep 'Broker_EquipSwitch' as it is, just a plugin and nothing more. The need for an optional minimap icon led to 'Broker_EquipSwitchUI'. Personally, I don't mind the extra addon. It is very basic and it is completly optional. Point taken, it's also possible to integrate it into 'Broker_EquipSwitch' directly, but then it would offer options nobody would expect of just an LibDataBroker plugin. Having it seperated allows greater customisation and, what is more important, to just load the plugin. If one does not need an extra minimap button, just don't load Broker_EquipSwitchUI and there is no downside. What is bothering me, it clutters up the addon directory. __________________ Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
