by: Aranarth [More]

This data broker plugin:

- swaps your talent spec (and gear set) when clicked.
- suppresses chat spam caused by a spec switch.
- sets aliases (leave blank to remove).
- associates an Equipment Manager Set to the current spec.
- mirrors changes made with Blizzard's Equipment Manager.
- toggles the talent frame when right-clicked.
- provides an easy to use interface.

and other minor customizations and utilities...

Supports the following addons:
- AddonLoader (reduces load screen time).
- TipTac (SpecSwitcher mimic its appearence).

r10
- Fixed gear switch (was delayed or prevented).
- Fixed default huge size for high res (was not using UIParent as parent).

r9
- Rewrote gear association and alias interfaces for 4.1 compat.
- Added: Shift+Click a gear set or a spec with an associated gear set to equip it.
- Added: MouseWheel on tooltip to change scale.
- Reacts on Blizzard's equipment manager "Delete" and "Change Name/Icon" actions (mirrors).
- Attempt to mimic TipTac look if you have TipTac.

r8
- Took advantage of the gear manager interface to provide a user friendly way to (dis)associate gear.
- Added a dialog box to edit aliases.
- Within that dialog box you have the option to use the associated gear's icon & name instead.

- Attempted to fix rare issues: gear set not equipping and/or chat spam not blocked

I tried to summarize with "Ctrl+(Right)Click to set an alias" so I don't have to add 2 extra lines. But that's probably not the best solution.

I totally didn't notice the brackets around the word "Right".

Cool, and thanks!

BTW: Sorry if this has been asked before, but any possibility of having SpecSwitcher tie in with Outfitter?

Lyssanne A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	Freezing upon spec switch Hiya! I am experiencing the problem that, every time I switch specs, my screen freezes, turns white, hangs up for 20 seconds or so, and then unfreezes, allowing normal play. Do you have any notion of what might be causing this? How I can fix it? I do use quite a few addons, but I can't think what might be interfering in this manner.

Aranarth A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 394 Uploads: 9	Re: one proposal Are you experiencing some leaked spam when switching ? @next96: If it's a popular demand, maybe. Until then, you can set alias as "Arms 31/03/02". Last edited by Aranarth : 11-10-10 at 07:58 PM.

Goncyn A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 21 Uploads: 0	Is it possible to display in the tooltip the equipment information for the associated set, similar to the tooltip in the equipment manage? E.g. "15 items equipped, 1 in bags, wrist missing." It would be extremely useful for verifying that you have the proper gear equipped after experimenting with alternatives. A modified-click to re-equip the appropriate set would be even better!

SmuvMoney A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 83 Uploads: 0	Set not being equipped after switching spec? I was testing this out on my death knight who is Blood/Frost dual spec. The names of the equipment sets mapped to those specs in the Equipment Manager are Blood and DPS respectively. When I switch spec by clicking on the LDB icon, I am able to switch specs without issue. However, the equipment set does not change unless I mouse over the LDB icon. At that point, the equipment set does switch for the respective set. I am using the r9 version. Thanks for your time. __________________ Peace & God Bless, $muvMoney John 14:27 & Numbers 6:24

thebadmf is in disguise Forum posts: 5 File comments: 112 Uploads: 0	Nice changes, thanks. Not sure if it happens for anyone else but, the gear change is not happening until 5-10 seconds after a spec change. I have to admit, I have been using Crossdresser to accomplish the same goal (I've disabled it for now) and this does it much quicker. Also the tooltip doesn't obey Buttonbin scale override; it's far too big. I have tiptac installed if it's of any significance. GL

Aranarth A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 394 Uploads: 9	@SmuvMoney: Thanks for your detailed report. It should be fixed quickly. @thebadmf: The delay is probably related to the issue SmuvMoney reported and should be fixed quickly. And for the huge size, it's also fixed (it will appear small when moving from r9 to r10 if you scaled it down. Last edited by Aranarth : 05-02-11 at 05:55 AM.
