Dominos
The Dominos guide
So what the heck is Dominos?Dominos is an action bar addon developed with the following goals in mind:
The main action bar, as you know, is that thing at the bottom of the screen that acts as your main interface for accessing your inventory, opening a few panels, making your pet do things, and of course using spells and ability. What Dominos does is take that interface, split it up into a series of customizable "bars" (a bar for your bags, one for your pet, an experience bar, etc), and add a few more features, like access to all 120 action buttons. |

Link for RedRange? provides Internal Server Error. I can't find it with some googling, although I only spent a few minutes on it. Currently using BT4 which I don't like as much as BT3 or Dominos because Dominos lacks this feature.
Why can't i get my chat windows to work with dominos??? I disable the mod and i can move adjust my chat windows. When I enable the mod I can't do anything with my chat windows. is there something I need to adjust. Have tried deleting all the WTF files as well and just do dominos and that still doesn't work. Please help!!!
Dominos has nothing to do with your chat windows.
I am seeing an issue with Debuff Highlighting, It appears that dots/curses from other warlocks are highlighting on my bars, so I can no longer tell which ones I have laid down.
out of curiosity, do those debuffs have cooldown models displayed on them?
I do recall being able to see cooldown timers on the mobs debuff icons for the other warlock's curses, possibly even the debuffs that were not from my class. Can't seem to find a group now to verify.
I can verify that other player's debuffs are causing debuff highlighting to turn on. These debuffs do show up with cooldown counts.
I opened up a bug report on the debuff thing, which is what you should do if you find something else not working right. A bug report is much more likely to be read and delt with than a comment on a random page.
I also noticed when dueling another paladin that his seals that he cast upon himself were showing up highlighted green on my bars while I had him targeted, thus obscuring which seal I had cast upon myself.
No matter what I choose for the QuickMove?? key (normally I use shift), all of the buttons on my bars remain unlocked, as in I can move them accidentally without holding a modifier. Any way to fix this?
al1843: Dominos uses the blizzard setting for lock action buttons (called lock action bars by them). You need to check that setting.
Just wondering, but currently I can't press alt and the key binding to self cast (I checked that in wow interface) but when I'm not targeting someone it auto self casts to me. Is this a problem with dominos or something that I should start looking at my interface for?
I would check to see if you have something bound to alt + key.
I'm trying to use another person's code for making the CTRL key a universal mouseover key. Their code is base don the blizzard action bars, and they said that to work with other action bars, I would need to know the name used. I looked over the code in Dominos briefly and to what minimal level I can understand it, but I don't think my guess is correct, since it doesn't work (already checked that no CTRL bindings interfere in Blizzard bindings).
Could I ask for the names of the bars? I tried using what appear to be names for the buttons, not bars: ActionButton?, BonusActionButton?, MultiBarRightButton?, MultiBarLeftButton?, MultiBarBottomRightButton?, MultiBarBottomLeftButton?. These were passed as parameters into:
for ,bar in pairs{...} bar:SetAttribute?(TARGET_STRING, 'mouseover') end
Thanks.
local TARGET_STRING = 'ctrl-unit*' Dominos.ActionBar:ForAll(function(bar) bar.header:SetAttribute(TARGET_STRING, 'mouseover') end)Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I've tried with other keys that also don't work, so it isn't a binding interference issue.
I have a question. I have a rogue and I wanna setup action Bar 1 to be Posessed and changed to action bar 8 Whenever I activate my ability "Shadow dance" Is this possible? Hopefully I worded that correctly.
Simple question ... I put something in a button position and now I want to return that position to empty ... I can not figure how to do this.
r26: wait for a blizzard fix for this one. oli: same way you would in the stock interface: Either unlock button positions, or hold the quick move key (shift by default) and drag the button off.
what do you mean wait for a blizzard fix? Shadow dance dosent page a bar normally but I wanna make it do so. Do you mean its not possible?
I mean its not possible and that word on the street is that Blizzard is going to make it recognized as a stance. Otherwise, its impossible to change what buttons a bar displays based on buffs.
I am on my third run of adjusting my dominos as i learn new things, its a great addon and i love it. i was wondering if there is a way to make a bar appear when my health is low? i run a hud addon called icehud also and would like my heal spells to apear in a different bar next to my life bar i have next to my life bar but only be visible when my life is low. thanks for the help. also have a few i want visible only when mana is low, thanks again
I cannot make a bar appear when your hp is low due to a limitation enforced on blizzard's end.
The newest download of Dominos doesn't include Dominos_Buff?. Why is that?
Because inline aura does a better job at this point in time.
is it possible to have a complete description of a spell show up when i cursor over the button? For example, when cursoring over flash of light, to have it show how much healing is done and mana cost?
do you mean to display action button tooltips? because it should be doing that right now.
Hi, is it possible to enable right click self cast on this addon, sorry if the answer is here somewhere i'm a bit of a novice, i previously had this feature on bongos
Hi, I dont know where the priviously anouced issues should be ? But what i really miss a lot is the (%) or some bars on the xp bar. Or prefarable both...
I'm not sure if it has been brought up before.
/Dark_Elf?
With the last version, 1.8, i have this problem: i set the menu and bags bars as vertical bars on the right of the screen. But when i open a bag, it covers the bar, so i can't open another bag. Similarly, if you select the option to track the quests, the text appear over those bars, and is difficult to be read. In short, the bag windows are positioned like they are when you don't select the second right bar in Blizzard interface.
sounds like you should get an addon to move those things :P
Any idea how i can lock the buttons ? I keep removing them in mid-raid ^^
Ok, I'm trying this but it doesn't seem to work:
/dom hide 'all' /dom show 'all' /dom hide '10'
I can however do: /dom hide '10-10' /dom hide '1-10'
This seems to be a work around. Any ideas if this is a bug or maybe something on my end?
Any way to handle "paging" through macros?
I have macros that handle different modifiers/stance but when i try to use that skill with the modifier it just used the skill that is there without the modifier.
ex. one for Heroic Strike normally, and with shift it would Cleave /cast modifier:shift? Cleave /cast Heroic Strike
This is on action bar 3 and I've tried binding in Dominoes to "E" and "E,shift E". In both cases, it switches the icon on the bar properly but still only ever casts Heroic Strike.
I really don't want to spend the time and rely so much on paging, in the even that the mod breaks when a patch comes out or other situations where I would then be forced to rethink my entire setup again!
Any ideas on how to let the macro do it's thing?
Thanks
@vonrune: try removing the quotes, ex /dom hide all
@luc.on.ca: I think there's a /changeactionbar page type command.
In bongos there was an options to resize all 10 action bars at once to I could say set all ten bars to scale 60. I can't find that option here please tell me there is a way to do this still? If not could you add that back in? I have alot of chars and that made it so much easier to setup. Thanks.
@j85ason: That's what I do not want to do, I do not want to rely on paging, action bar swaps, or remapping. I simply want my macros to do what they are supposed to do, but somehow Dominos is affecting my macro functionality.
@nakedgoat: /dom scale 1-10 .6 will get you what you want.
Somehow or another I hid my experience bar in Dominos and now I've no clue how to get it back. Any ideas would be awesome to have. Thanks, jabad3hut
@luc.on.ca: make sure those modifiers are not bound to anything in the blizzard bindings menu.
two of my bars have replicated each ohter, in the sense that whenever i move a spell from one it disappears from the other. Its like having two identical bars but there is no way of changing one without changing the other. How do i sort this out please?
One of your other addons is enabling the blizzard casting bar.
Having a few problems with this AMAZING mods:
1) Action Bars #1 & #2 do not allow me to add any buttons to them. When in config mode (and making sure they are not hidden, there are no "docking" squares for buttons even though Show Empty Buttons is ON. In addition (and I don't know if this is related), I have an action bar from my "original" interface that is in the bottom left of the screen that is NOT highlighted or movable with Domino. I shut off all action bars in the Blizzard standard interface, but that one bar remains.
2) The Bags bar has not replaced my original bags. The only thing that is on the Domino Bag Bar is my Keyring. If I select Show One Bag Only, all of my original bags disappear but my backpack.
3) Not sure if Domino can handle this, but my Options Bar (i.e. character, Help, Spellbook etc.) is not movable or configurable with Domino.
Thanks for any help on this,
Wazoo
Bah.... looks like Domino is in conflict with MoveAnything?. Anyway around this? Unfortunately, I need MoveAnything? because I play at 3840x1024 over three monitors and I need to move HUD pieces around to get them on my center monitor.... :(
unless there's a setting in move anything, I have no idea :P
Nope. No options worked in MoveAnything?. However... I found a program called FluidFrames? which seems to be working like MoveAnything? and it has no conflict with Domino. Thanks for this great addon!
Hi appreciate the mod but i am having issues with draggin/dropping buttons. i enabled all bars to view them, when i try to move the buttons from bar 7 to bar 3 for example, the button is removed from bar 7 and on dropping it in bar 3, it vanishes, so now i cant figure out how to customize my buttons since they keep disappearing when i move them.
Anyone else with this or a similar issue?
Bodi, Deathwing
Greetings, I usually play with the tooltip off, sometimes though I need to switch them on, is there a command that lets me toggle it or can I only do that via the interface?
Hey... I have a problem. Sometimes, by main action bar just ''transforms'' into one fo my others, like my useless tracking bar. So...I don't really know what to do and I just love this add-on. Any help will be apreciated. ^^
hi, not sure if you are still responding here, but thought I'd post a comment anyhow -
Loved Bongos and like this simpler addon even more. But (there's always a but, isn't there) I have the same problem that csadun posted back on 2 Nov - the bags open up over the right hand vertical action bars. But that's not the only problem - the tooltips overwrite them too - it looks like you are somehow overriding the setting in the Interface menu for right-hand vertical bars, which is how the native UI is going to know whether to render further in.
I saw your reply to csadun but I am thinking that's not really a solution. Dominos 1.6.3 doesn't have this problem, so something changed in the version after that.
Well basically, I fixed the bug :P Enabling that checkbox had some other issues, like causing phantom bars to appear, and limiting the # of pages available for paging. To fix those issues, the bag setting had to be altered, too.
How do i change the colour of the xp bar?
Not sure if you monitor all these questions, but I'll ask ahead. On my priest I have a main bar for my shadow spells while in shadow form. When i swap out of shadowform that bar changes into my holy bar with all my main holy bars. The only problem is that I want to keep the same keybindings for both bars. So if button 1 is Q on the shadow bar, I want it to be Q also on the holy bar. However if I try keybind the holy bar to be the same as my shadow bar it unkeybinds my shadowbar and vice versa. Any way to make two bars share the same keybindings? Or is there a way for one bar to swap between two button configurations based on what stance you are in. Thanks a ton, -Shadowcatch
I have the same problem as rigged, where one bar has replicated another one. A /dominos reset has not helped. I'm on Dominos 1.9.4
I see that through a slash command you can make a bar with more buttons than the default 12. Will a future version of Dominos have the feature currently in Bongos3 where you can make different bars with different amounts of buttons?
For example, on my rogue I have one bar with 4 buttons, one bar with 16 buttons, one bar with 20 buttons, and a side bar with 6 buttons.
You can specify the max amount of buttons a bar can have in dominos, then shrink bars from there. I will not be implementing the alt+drag behavior to create bars of variable sizes.
I just want to say that not having the alt+drag feature is a big letdown. The addition of a dot-timer and alt-drag that came with Bongos 3 was a godsend (might be a bit of an exaggeration but it was VERY nice) that I haven't seen since DAB.
Having to use one bar of 12 buttons just to use 4 of those buttons is a waste.
Now, I don't know about coding addons I will be the first to admit. Is having the alt+drag feature that bad of a thing?
I just installed the latest version for the beta and now you can't remove the default key-bindings on bar 1. Why not?
I'm actually displaying them more accurately now, since the stock blizzard key bindings still work. You need to go into the blizzard bindings interface to remove those.
As much as I appreciate and applaud the work you've done with this mod, I have to agree with koskun -- not having variable bar lengths is a huge letdown. I very much hope to see it return in a future version.
How do I get a blank button space back after putting a spell there?
read about the /dom numbutton <# of buttons> command...not as handy as the alt-drag feature of bongos but manageable. thanks
i tryed and tryed for hours couldent get eather the /dom numbuttons <1-120> or the /dom numbars <1-120> to work kept getting error messages
err, you want to enter in a number, ex /dom numbuttons 10, or /dom numbuttons 12
ha ha doh im a tard
I could really use some help figuring out how to get the Metamorphosis abilities (Warlock) to show up. It seems like the bar settings for Metamorphosis (under the Warlock drop-down) make that bar display the functions of the selected bar when I enter Metamorphosis. How do I get the special abilities to show up?
Thanks for your help, and for the awesome addon!
Yeah, well, to quote the previous poster, "ha ha doh im a tard." The abilities are in the spellbook.
Thanks again for all the great work you do!
I want you to know, I was one of those people saying "I HATE DOMINO! BONGO WAS SO MUCH BETTER." Anyway, after playing around for a while, and finding the subtle "numbuttons" command, I'm back in the game with domino.
Thanks so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate it, and thank you for a great add-on.
Yeah, I'm really hoping that once people sit down and mess with the thing a bit, they'll realize they can do more than first appears.
I would also love variable length bars to return. Not necessarily the alt+drag bit, but at least /dom numbuttons (bar) (numbuttons)
I am definately with sDouble on the Variable bar sizes(num of Buttons). I have a G11, and a N52Speedpad?? that I use all the time. With Bongos I built custom sizes that changed out based on shift stated in the N52. Now I'm kinda screwed and I have basic bars with the numbers on the N52 assigned to them.
Oh and I have been a longtime Bongos user, and I thank you for all your hard work on that, and now this project...
Again, you can set the maximum size of your bars via /dom numbuttons <number>, you can then go into each bar's individual size via right clicking the bar and shrinking it.
I didn't do variable length bars with Dominos because paging is a pita to configure in that system, unless you have infinite buttons.
Hi mate
I think youre doing a great job with Domino.
I have one question tho: I'm a druid and I know how to use the druid class button when rightclicking a bar. Thats all good. I would like to know if it "can be done twice"? To be sure you understand the question: Bar 1 is the default "druid bar", bar 10 is bearform, 9 is cat. I would like Bar 2 to have the exact same ability, so when i'm shapeshifting, that bar changes too according to my form, and lets say bar 8 that bars cat and bar 7 is bear.
Is it possible?
congokurt, rightclick a bar in config mode, click the pulldown menu and select Druid. You can set a bar to change to whichever bar you want depending on the form you switch into. I use 2 bars that change into 2 others for cat and 2 others for bear.
Is there a way to set State so that a bar only shows when out of combat?
That's what the Hiding and Showing Actionbars Under Certain Conditions section is about.
Is there a way to adjust the SCALE of a bar while you mouse over it? Kinda like how if a bar is normally set to scale 0.40, but on mouseover you want it to blow up to scale 1.2, and then drop back down to 0.40 when you are not mousing over it?
Question: Is there a way to set State so that a bar only shows when out of combat?
Answer: Yes, use the state NOCOMBAT
@ congokurt:
You should be able to set the paging style of bar 2 to "Druid" as well. Then you just have to adjust the bars so that they display the second set of bars you want.
So for example, you want bar 1 and bar 2 to switch to bear bars 9 and 10, respectively, or to cat bars 7 and 8, etc...you would have to set up bar 1 to druid style paging, and set that one up as Bear - 9, Cat - 7. Then you would have to set druid paging on bar 2, and set that to Bear - 10, Cat - 8.
"That's what the Hiding and Showing Actionbars Under Certain Conditions section is about"
Maybe I'm being obtuse, but that section explains how to have a bar show when IN combat.
What I'm specifically looking to do is have a bar that shows only when NOT in combat. The macro list doesn't have anything obvious to me that would do that (I know that's not your fault), and I'm asking if anyone knows how I could achieve that.
A person above posted a solution for your problem, the nocombat condition.
I'm have a problem with paging in Dominos interfering with macros. At first I found that shift+# switch to other pages. I prevented this by setting quick paging on Bar1 to disabled for all other bars.
However, all my macros that involve changing the spell cast via SHIFT don't work: the icons change to the SHIFT skill, but the spell will not cast by hitting the keybinding, only by clicking on the button. Is there any fix for this, or explanation for what interferes so I can get around it?
Thanks.
EDIT
I'd like to add that I found the problem, in case anyone else has this later. Keybindings in the WoW interface still held SHIFT+# commands for switching blizzard action bars. This didn't cause problems with old CT or blizzbars, but probably from layered bindings or something, it does in dominos.
Out of curiosity, does it happen if you have just the stock bindings in use? That is, get rid of Dominos bindings and just use the standard blizzard action button bindings.
Hello. Is there a way to combine 2 states show bar during the combat and fade when out f combat. Thank you.
Is it possible to change the bar state on a buff gain? (In my case Shadow Dance)
When I enter demon form (Metamorphosis) on my lock action bar 1 changes to action bar 5. How do I prevent that change? Is that what the possess function does?
Is there any way to limit the number of pages you have to go through to get back to your first bar? When I raid I page between two bars with all my important keys on using a single button. With this even though I have disabled all the other bars apart from 2 I page once to go from 1 to 2 and then have to hit the button multiple times to go from 2 back to 1. Is there a way to fix this?
arthem: not that i'm aware of.
hugo: nope, else it would be in dominos already :)
jkapernicus: try adjusting the warlock slider for meta to be disabled
gemma: yes, what you want to do is set up paging like this: page 2: bar 2 page 3: bar 1 page 4: bar 2 page 5: bar 1 page 6: bar 2
I love this addon, and thank you for taking the time to do it. It took a little while to get used to how to configure it, but the wiki helped a lot. As for those who wish it were more like Bongos3, then maybe they should use it instead. Any chance though at custom colours for button slots - I know out of range is red, but I'd like to set the bg colours on a few so I know off the bat stuff about the keys and how I bound them.
Hugo, I feel your pain: Just specced Sub (Shadow Dance) on my rogue. I like to have ALL my abilities available to my left hand (right hand is always on the mouse). Using Z-B, A-G, Q-Y, 1-6, F1-F6, there STILL aren't enough buttons when Shadow Dance is up. Maybe Blizzard will figure out that SD is a state, or stance, or something!
How do I get rid of the 'possess' thing? It changes my #1 bar when I'm in eyes of the beast, and I don't want that. There is no bar labeled possess, and there's no option I can find in the options.
err, did you adjust the possess bar option?
/2 WTB Glasses?, PST. I found it... but there doesn't seem to be a 'don't do it at all' option... just which bar you want it to change to. and I still don't have a bar labeled possess...I just want it off entirely. I can use my pet bar when in the eyes of the beast... and if I need to shoot something in a hurry, I don't want to have to get rid of the spell first, just hit raptor strike to chop it.
Don't get me wrong, by the way. I'm not complaining about the mod otherwise; The one thing I'd like to see added is Bongos2's ability to resize the minimap. Everything else, I'm perfectly happy with.
I cannot get rid of the possess bar, since its necessary for a lot of the new stuff in wrath, etc. The simplest solution is to make it your pet bar, as you've seemingly done so.
When I use my shadowdance and swap to action page 2 for my ability's I get a C stack overflow. Any suggestions?
When I change the number of bars it seems to break warriors stances. When you switch stances the 12 buttons originally assigned to bar one no longer change. Is there any way to work around this or is it just an unavoidable consequence?
adrian: please post an issue about this. try and reproduce the issue with just dominos enabled to confirm its a dominos issue ant not something else.
joe.bissot: Its unavoidable, and the reason its a slash command and not part of the GUI :)
Trying to figure this one out...I'm a rogue. I set Bar 1 as my main with Bar 10 as my rogue bar. I created a Quick Page (bar 9) and set bar 9s rogue bar to the same bar 10. The problem I'm having is when i Quick page and go stealth my rogue bar doesnt show up...How do I get it to show
Hi, first - thanks for the addon. I'm new to messing around with the UI in WOW, so is there a way to change my action bars depending on the keymap a n52te is in? E.g. if I'm in the blue state show and use only such and such bar, in red these and so on? Thanks.
aaron: Can you post an issue with a screenshot of the paging setups for your bars?
scotjer: I'm pretty sure its not possible.
I've been a Bongos fan for a very long time, but with this last patch I realized that between the many characters I have I grew far too dependent on the Bongos keybindings. So post-patch day and for almost a week after, I didn't load any action bar addons. I rearranged everything and fit it all into the Blizz UI buttons and bindings, exactly the same from char to char (No settings specific to one char), which I especially liked because that is all shared server-side and I play from 2 machines. Then I felt I was ready for Dominos. I loved that Dominos loads the default Blizz keybindings for actionbar 1, that's where all my action is. But- the rest of the Blizz bars, if I were to keybind using Bongos, lose their server-side save functionality (I believe). And I can't see what the Blizz keybinding is on them, I have to either count/guess where I put things. Is there some way to get those default Blizz bindings to show up on the buttons for at least the action bars that the default UI lets us have control over?
Sounds like a bug.
Anything I can do to help troubleshoot it?
I found and fixed the issue in the development version.
Wow, that's awesome! I'll try it out... Thanks so much!
Oh, when I said that I thought there would be a beta version link somewhere around here. Guess I'll wait for release :)
I cannot set my possess bar to my pet bar. Or rather, I can set it to the pet bar, but it will not show any of my possessed abilities. What can I do to get it fixed? Is there any way to create a separate bar altogether for possession? Thanks for all your help!
I'm currently trying to use the "Targeting" function. I play a priest and it works perfectly in normal form. As soon as I hop into Shadowform, my bar doesn't change based on what I'm targeting. Is there any way to make the bars change regardless of being in Shadowform? Thank you in advance!
HI there,
I have tried many things and read your thorough instructions. I am trying to Set bars to be Faded to a certain opacity.. like 10%. AND When in combat they all become 100%
ANY Ideas? Can this be done.
Other than that.. LOVE THIS ADDON!
little:
That option was removed due to it no longer working since 3.0.x
calabrae:
Cannot really be done in Dominos. Bartender4 can do so via a custom state header.
chrisadam:
Cannot be done in Dominos.
I was wondering about the self cast key and how it works. I am a prot pally and I want to emergency heal myself with just one push on a button. How to do that?
Thank you for all your hard work. It has actually been good to sit and work with my ui.
self cast key = when held down, whatever spell you have will target yourself.
Ok, how do you use the /dom hide command to say .. Hide actionbar #10. I'm trying to write a macro that will hide/show a bar, but I'm not sure what the help file means by the parameter <Frame List>
-J
Read the slash command portion of the wiki
Is it possible to have more than 10 bars available based on paging? I'm not sure if I explained that well enough, but to describe my setup, I am a druid and essentially use 5 bars, 3 paged for each form and 2 non-paged, and I seem to run out of bars. :(
Non Paged - Bar 1 Paged Bar 1 - Caster = bar 2, 3, 4. Bear = Bar 5,6,7. Cat form = bar 8, 9, 10
This is what I am stuck with, but I would really like to have at least 1 other bar, preferably 2.
I would also like to see an option to have a bar hide/unhide on PVP - that would be swell.
Wonderful MOD. I cant live without it. I fivebox ( play 5 diff toons at once - 4 locks and a priest ). i use a command called /changeactionbar <no> to flip between 2 action bars. I do that when i bring that chat into focus ( ie i actively control it - the rest of the time it just follows ). Now, the walock layout for metamorph wont switch to the actionbar specified if i happened to be on anything other than actiobar1 at the time. I know i can switch to actionbar 1 fist myself, but then when i shift back into human form i need to know what bar i was using at the time to switch back to the correct one. Any ideas?
Also, Q2: I have multiple installs. which files do i need to copy between WTF folders in order to copy my settings from one char on one install to another char on another install ?
Thanks for Dominos. I am very pleased you are using as much Blizzard standard code as possible. Surely will make for fewer unintended effects or conflicts.
macro condition to know if you are in a vehicle bonusbar:5?
to hide bar if you are in a vehicle : bonusbar:5?
target=vehicle,exists?vehiclestuff;nonvehiclestuff is what I use
I don't understand your macro. What is vehiclestuff,nonvehiclestuff referring to? The actionbar numbers?
I am a rogue and I keep my main action bar hidden, I show the action bar with modifier:alt if I need to move buttons around.
What I'd like to do is set my main action bar as the posses bar and have it show only if possesed. Target=vehicle,exists seems like it would work as a show state if you were targeting a vehicle, would it hide the bar once you were possesed and no longer had the vehicle targeted?
Whenever wow crashes I loose all my Dominoes settings and it reverts back to Default. Is there a correct way to back up settings? Can this be included in documentation Please!! Thanks for a great addon.
Well, basically its "log out after setting up dominos, before crashing"
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM Can someone help me please. I love this mod, but I'm having issues whenever I'm in possession of another mob or when I'm in a vehicle. I set my configurations to be able to manipulate all 120 action buttons so that I can position them the way I want. When I get in a vehicle they only thing that pops up is the enter and/or exit vehicle, which appears via the vehicle action bar, and one action corresponding to the vehicle, which appears in the place of action button #1.
I've thought I would be able to set the possess actions to the pet bar, but there was no option for that. I tried to see if I could set the possess to another action button, but that became a problem, because when I click on the menu to select a new action button the list opens way past the screen and the only action buttons I can choose form at numbers 68-120. The list doesn't have a scrolling option within it to compensate for 120 individual action button choices.
Anywho, for now the only choice I have in the matter is to simply disable Dominos until I get the task at hand completed.
I the same problem that amalgham, do you have an idea of the problem ? thank you for your assistance.
I figured out how to hide your main action bar and have it show for possesion. First step, obviously is set your main action bar as the posses bar. Second, right click on the actionbar in config mode, choose show states and enter bonusbar:5? modifier:alt?
This will show the bar only during possesion, like in a vehicle, or when holding down the alt key, which I put in there for making adjustments, you could leave that out or set it to something else.
@Pexcer Does this apply to all the actions associated with the controlled vehicle or mob? I know that when I take control of a vehicle or a mob I only see one of the actions that are available. Could this action be set for all the corresponding actions available?
Ok, after having tested this, it seems that if you set yourself to have all 120 action buttons as individual bars then you are pretty much screwed when it comes to configuring the possess bar with Dominos. You have to set up your "bars" to consist of more than one button. Four at least, to get the vehicle or possessed mob actions available to you. I wish it were a simple matter of setting the each button individually, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Had to figure this out myself. Guess I'll just have to resort to enabling and disabling the mod. Unless another action bar mod is out there that can resolve this issue.
Yeah it works for the bar you set it on. If that bar only has one button it won't make more buttons for the possesion abilities. You could make a bar of six buttons, and only use one of them on that particular bar, set all the others as one button bars if you like. If you are only using one button on the bar it won't show the others until they are used, like during possesion.
Thanks for this awesome addon.
When Im using modifiers, bar 1 becoming bar 2 when holdning alt and becoming bar 3 when holding shift. The key bindings dont work! So I hold down alt and press key 1 (becoming alt-1) it says invalid target. Whats up with that?
make sure binding + number commands are not bound to something in the blizzard bindings menu.
is there a way to save key bindings and action buttons to profiles? Sometimes I have to play my wife's character and I don't like her setup. But if i change the keys and what skills are where on the bars when she logs in it's all messed up for her.
I'm having two problems (well issues rather than problems) 1. I cannot find a way to show both my XP bar and a reputation bar. Is that possible? 2. I'd like for my XP bar to have "bars" like it does with the original Bliz version. I tried just not enabling dominos XP bar, but then the bliz one didn't show up either.
(LOVE the addon by the way! I had never tried an action bar modifier and finally got tired of running out of button space!)
awesome addon. i was just wondering if anybody else is having trouble with the possess bar not working? (hunter, fyi). when i get in a vehicle in wintergrasp or anywhere else for that matter, it will usually work the first time, but after that, the icons will change to the correct ones for the vehicle, but pushing the keybind or directly clicking on them does nothing. when i moved it to bar 6 which isn't used for anything else, the possess bar works just fine, but not with bar 1.
any tips would be great. i can't figure out why it's doing it. i'm running on Mac OS 10.5 and i have several other addons, like omnicc, buttonfacade, omen, adapt etc. no unitframe mods.
if you can help, thanks! if not, great mod none-the-less =)
Bindings are saved on blizzard's end, and you can set them to save on a per character basis.
XP Bar: There's no way to re enable the blizzard experience bar, short of disabling dominos.
Possess bar: that's a known issue, and I believe its a blizzard bug. Your OS doesn't actually matter for this one (it did, a long time ago, for an OmniCC bug :P).
yeah, i didn't really think it would be OS related. thanks for the reply and keep up the good work =D
is there any way to make a bar show while in combat, or if you mouse over it?
or can i have it fade to 15% opacity out of combat and come back to 100% opacity in combat?
i know how to make it show in combat. i know how to make it un-fade on mouse over.
i cant figure out how to put both of them together.
So since I can't enable the blizz bar is there anyway to make my dominoes bar look like that?
and is there a way to have both the XP and rep bar at the same time?
combat fading: no, this is not part of Dominos. I know that bartender4 can do it, though.
blizzard art: nope
xp bar and rep at the same time: nope
Aha, now I can stop looking for it :D Thanks!
Hi I'm a hunter that's using the following macro:
/cast Aspect of the Hawk /changeactionbar 1; /cast Aspect of the Monkey /changeactionbar 2
This lets me declutter my screen by giving me a fake stance bar like effect where I only have to have either my melee or ranged combat out in the appropriate aspect.
But when I use it in dominos I can click it once to swap actionbar 1 to action bar 2's buttons, then it won't go back when in aspect of the hawk. If I try to remove a button from action bar 1 after this happens it removes the icon from both action bars as if they are the same bar. I have to log out, disable the addon, and log back in before I can get full functionality back.
I tried using the Show States to achieve a similar result, but if I enter Aspect of the Hawk? or /cast Aspect of the Hawk, or of the Hawk?, or Aspect of the Hawk, I get an error saying that it is an unrecongized macro. the same is true for aspect of the monkey.
Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?
so here is my issue, I'm having trouble with dominos and making a certain action bar disappear while i'm on a vehicle. The basic setup is that all action bars are not shown except for one under my unit frames used for cooldowns, i want that bar to disappear and have action bar 1 show when i'm in a vehicle. i have the bonusbar:5? in the set states bar for action bar 1 but i am at a loss for what to put in the cooldown bar, is it possible to have it show except while on a vehicle?
Have you tried nobonusbar:5??
thanks worked perfectly
Is there anyway to utilize the show states to macro in a command that will allow for a button to exist but only become visible once enough rune power is available for the skill on that button to be used?
Nope. The set of actions that you can hide/show a bar on are limited to those macro conditions.
Is it possible to page 13 buttons at a time anymore? I remember with Bongos that I could setup all 120 buttons as individual bars and then set the paging ranges accordingly. This is a bit of a premature question as I just discovered the console commands to reconfigure the bars so I've not actually tried it yet to see if it's now possible. Thanks in Advance!
Still love dominos.
Only issue I seem to have is during the 'The Prophet Tharon'ja" fight in Drak'Tharon Keep. In phases of this fight, you are turned into a skeleton, and given a different action bar.
Dominos does not swap out my bars.
Before you say "check your possess bar", note that it only happens on this fight. I have my possess bar set to "pet" and it works perfectly for other fights, and I have no issues with the vehicle bar either. Any thoughts?
Also, the way I have my bars moved, sometimes the bars cover up the default FPS counter (CTRL-R) and it seems like the FPS count is in different spots on each of my toons. Any thoughts there on how to move/adjust that frame?
You're not using the most recent version. I know this precisely because you're using the pet bar as your possess bar, and I removed that option since it does not work properly under all conditions. I do intend to bring the option back, though.
Oh very good then, I will install the newest version and test. Any idea on what is causing blizzard fps counter to move (or not move, in my case)?
I have 30 x4 bars, and if my possess bar is bigger than 4 buttons, the extra ones are not displayed (cause the bar isn't big enough). Is there are known workaround for this? Or do I have to switch to bigger bars (like 20 x6).
Upgraded to version 1.8.3. Any word yet on the blizzard fps counter?
I'm not sure what may be altering your FPS counter. I'd figure its best to get an addon to replace it when using dominos, anyway :)
The possess bar thing is a known issue, and will be fixed one of these days.
When you hit ctrl-r your FPS appears. (it's part of the default interface). 1.8.3 works with the possess bar, so dont worry about that (i did a fresh install).
Here's an update: This only seems to affect my level 80 toons. Every other toon i have lower than 80 and the fps counter is in a higher position on the screen. I dont have dominos_XP installed cause i use xpBarNone, but i figured it would be worth mentioning. i have a toon who is at 78 now, who I will hit 80 with and see if it changes.
As soon as I dinged 80, the FPS counter dropped down an inch on my screen.
Additional question: I know you can use the COMBAT and NOCOMBAT conditions to show and hide bars, but is there a way to adjust the opacity of a bar based on conditions? For example, let's say that out of combat I want my bars set at 0.2 opacity, but once in combat they go back to 1.0 opacity?
That drop is due to you not needing to display an experience bar in the stock interface anymore. Its not something controlled by Dominos.
State based opacity: This is not implemented in Dominos, but I know its implemented in Bartender4.
Why would I want to use bartender4 when Dominos is so awesome? Were you aware of the people who made bongo_skinned_map to cover all the extra stuff that bongos didnt. I am wondering if you know if there is a dominos equivalent. (My code-fu is not powerful enough to do it myself).
I actually feel a little bit bad about dropping Bongos3 so quickly because of the fact the guy wrote Cornucopia. I'm not aware of any project that can replace that functionality, but then again, I don't think its in the scope of something Dominos should do.
Hi...
First time here :-)
Anyway, I love Dominos! A coupla question tho - 1. I currently use QBar to automatically pull of the usable quest items into one place! Absolutely wonderful! Anyway, can this be implemented with Dominos so I will not need another addon?
2. Is there a way to manage sets of toolbars based on what my spec is? I'm a mage and alternate between Arcane and Frost (at 25G a pop...) can dominos use bar layouts based on the spec?
thanks
Quest bar: not something I Intend to add. Profile for each spec: This will happen when blizzard implements dual specs.
Great AddOn? for action bars
but I have a question, How can I toggle the experience bar to a reputation bar?
As everyone else here says, LOVE this add on! kist...@foroctr.com:
You configure that in the Reputation window in WoW. Just click the rep you want to show, and check the "Show as experience bar" option.
j85ason: Now on to my issue. I am a Hunter that uses bar 1 for ranged skill, & bar 2 for melee skills. I have set Dominoes to change to bar 2 when I'm holding the CTRL button for up close fighting. The problem is, when I try to use any of my melee skills I'm told, "invalid target".
I also have Hunter's Mark set to button 1 of bar 2 for times when I am assisting the tank in a raid group. When I try to use that, WoW says, "Target is friendly" and will not fire it off. This happens whether I'm grouped or playing solo.
By the way, I have tried changing my buttons to a different bar and I get the same results. I have also unbound any buttons that used CTRL + a number. Nothing helps. Any ideas?
thank you very much duk...@hotmail.com but it does not work for me
duk: do you have ctrl used as selfcast? kist: click the xp bar or uncheck the "always show experience" option
j85ason that's right!
thank you very much!
Hi, long time Bongos/Dominos fan here! I have to say that I've used this as my action bar addon as long as I've been using addons in general, and it has been nothing but great for me.
I currently use a set of Frame:Show()/Hide() macros to control visibility of all of my addons and it would be nice to be able to fold control of Dominos visibility into these macros.
I was wondering if it is possible to get the name of the action bar frames? I'm just hoping I don't have to do Hide() button by button (which works, but is too messy).
Hi there, first: I love this addon :)
The only problem I have is about the possess bar. Having 30 bars with 4 buttons each allowed me to choose a possess bar among the bars I had, thus having the problem of only 4 buttons showed.
Now I'm using 10 buttons bar but I cannot choose anything to be my possess bar (the slide in the /dominos menu just appears empty).
Do I have to make ALL the bars exactly 5 buttons size to match the original Blizzard vehicle bar ?
Cheers
With Bongos2, I took advantage of the ability to assign keybindings to things that were not on any action bars (e.g. macros and spellbook abilities). I read a review that said this feature is still available in Dominos, but I haven't managed to make any keybindings unless I use up an action bar slot. Is it possible to do this in Dominos, or was this feature dropped?
(Thanks for a GREAT addon and continuing support!)
Firstly I love Dominos :) I recently experienced a situation that I need help with though. I have a lot of key bindings set up as a I use a G15 keyboard. I let my partner play my hunter on his PC and unbeknownst to me he changed a bunch of stuff on my actions bars etc. When I logged into my hunter again on my PC my action bars where all changed and all my key bindings had disappeared except for the default 1-= ones for action bar one. I had thought this kind of config info was stored client (wtf folder) rather than server side. Is this not the case? Is there anything I can do to retrieve my previous settings?
I have just recently tried Dominos and a few problems have cropped up. Shouldn't the one bag option open all the bags when the single bag is clicked on? As well, I tried to bind control to make a bar display and am having some trouble with that as well. I can use the switch bar option but that uses up 2 bars where I really only need one. Dispite the wiki saying that it would respond to all macro conditions, attempting to bind mod:ctl? to the bar didn't work either. I haven't tried a display when entering combat bar yet, I hope that works. Other than that it seems a very solid project. Thank you for the efforts and good luck with the 3.1 changes as I'm sure they will make life hell for some authors.
Is there a slash command that will allow me to change the text on the xp/rep bar? I'd like to add the % to level on it.
Is there a way to set the show state to allow some bars to only be shown in party/raid and not shown when solo ?
Nogroup and group are valid modifiers for that, I think
I tryed Group? and Nogroup? but got "unknown macro option" msg , i take it im doing it right seen as the Combat? one works fine , or maybe im doing something wrong ?
group? nogroup? are what they should be (lowercase)
>< Doh many thanks works fine lolol.
Love Dominos, can't do anything without it!
So my problem is not with the addon per se nor common. As a spaz gurl, when I'm in BGs I tend to mouse-move and keyboard move/turn in panic sometimes - and try to cast Shift-macro on the run. Sorta kinda controlled keyboard mashing. So sometimes shift-Up pages my main #1 action bar to some random other bar. Yes, I already admitted spaz-ness. I've tried this and that and dunno how to make the main bar Never Ever accidentally change. Is it a WoW default thing that I can disable or something in your config? How do I lock up my action bar in combat please? Thank you.
Check the quick paging bindings in the keybindings menu.
Will do that when I get home. Thought I looked in there before. This has been a long time annoyance but I forget when it doesn't happen. =P Thanks.
does anyone know what the button names are for using the standard possessbar. this is for macros that use /click BUTTONNAME. need to have the exact name of the button that dominoes uses for this work correctly. thanks.
Love the add on especially now we have the Dual specs! I have two problems though with my Enhanced shammy. I have lost the spirit wolf bar, i cant tell them what to attack. This is not a bar like the hunters bar, it only appears when the wolves are summoned.
2nd. I have had problems with vehicle controls in Northrend during quests. I have had to turn off Dominos to get the Grappling hook in the Steel Gate pit and also when "Budd" has to be sent to SAP ice trolls in Grizzly Hills.
Please Help! I love this add on.
Dominos config is not working with the new 3.0.2 patch. I assume this is why there is no minimap button showing up? The only way I've found so far, to enter the config mode is to go thru the main menu>Interface>Addons tab. Can this be fixed? Thanks.
Works fine for me, but I had to slide the minimap button a bit as it was partially hidden under another button.
I don't mind dominos although I was a huge fan of bongos for one reason and one reason only. I use a belkin n52 and I had all my keys bound specifically, which in bonogos required the use of 24 buttons due in part to stance changes etc... now with the use of only 10 bars it feels like I am playing with less than half the buttons I was able to use before... Please HELP! Please give me more than just 10 bars!
correction... not 24 buttons but rather 24 bars
A general scale option would be fine. I miss the possibility to pus some bars vertical. And how can i move the blizzard Interface Option Menu? It is on some of the bars, so i can not move them.
Mirak: check the advanced section of this wiki.
Schuster: read the "getting around the interface section"
Diana: There's a bug that makes load on demand addons look red in the addons menu, make sure its actually enabled there.
Enter the configuration mode, close the window and move the bar.
j85ason I tried this macaroon mode but it doesn't solve the issues I have... before with bongos I could make a stack of 5 bars with 5 buttons on each row and then have a separate stack... yes I can do this with dominos however the issue arises when I try to different bindings because I've use all 10 bars and only half the buttons. I still have about another 7 buttons to use which are on the same row... but I can't separate them from the rows and make another stack with them. Bongos you could take a stack of bars lets say 10 bars with 12 buttons break it down so that you had a 20 bars with 6 buttons on each. I need something like this.
Is this possible to do?
Hello, I was a big user of bongos and my concerns it is that he misses for me a very important function (or she does not work) it is the blocking of buttons because I play only the mouse, and it is very often that I remove my powers... Please make something for this probleme, THX
Ps: I am french sorry for my bad english !!
In the blizzard side of the interface options, there's an option to lock actionbars. If you use that, then your buttons won't move.
We have two pc's in our house one runs XP and has downloaded Dominos successfully the other runs Vista and while the files downloaded it does not appear on the add ons list in the character page is not accessable in WOW, has anyone else had this problem and how did you overcome it?
Hello, love the addon. Having a problem getting "Key Bindings" to stay between characters. I set them as character specific, and save individual profiles...then log out, and all my bars are in the correct spots, but all my key bindings are gone. I've tried removing the addon, removing everything in my WoW addon folder, and then reinstalling Dominos...yet somehow it remembers where my bars were. It does not however, ever remember my key bindings. I have to set them every time I log into WoW =( Love this addon, please help!
I'm a FlexBar2? refugee so I'm giving this a try as a replacement. Is there a way to center the bar(s) automatically without having to get our a ruler and measure the physical screen?
sticky bars handles that: it'll auto center to edges of the screen. bars will auto center to themselves.
binding issues are on your end. There's a solution in the issues list here.
I like Dominos overall.But I've found 1 issue that is quite bad yesterday.Sometimes Pet bar doesn't show up for me, when I summon my Water Elemental.Good old Bongos never had that problem.(I know it was kinda known prob happening a lot in BC, but probably Bongos handled Petbars differently, so I've never run into those problems personally)
Where is there a solution that mentions Key Bindings not saving? I just read all the above comments and did not see one. Please, do explain.
"Bongos you could take a stack of bars lets say 10 bars with 12 buttons break it down so that you had a 20 bars with 6 buttons on each. I need something like this."
yes!!!! I need it, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@chill: http://code.google.com/p/tullamods/issues/detail?id=208&colspec=Addon%20Type%20Summary%20Priority%20Status%20Milestone
@KC: That command exists already: /dom numbuttons 6
Cool, thanks for the link. However, I've disabled all other addons and tried to run just Dominos with no luck. I also tried to do the Blizzard "Repair Files/Install" utility, but it says it doesn't work with the current version of WoW =(
Hey, thanks for the help! Finally got the repair to work, and Dominos is working great now! Greatly appreciated =)
The new version isn't working for me at all... I can't access the config using text commands and it doesn't show up in my addons tab under interface.
Blarg, NOTHING works.
Well it seems it doesnt work for me either. I already tryed everything, but my bars are gone, i have no way to get the bars back, when i got to interface options/action bars if i check the bootm action bars some of the appear, but nothing more, nothing moveable, i already tryed all chat commands, none work for me, tryed enter configuration mode, nothing happens too. Im using 2.4.3 patch is the addon only for 3.0.2? I would aprecciate some help. Plz continue with bongos 3, this one has too many issues!
The most recent versions of Dominos are for 3.0.2 only.
So far everything seems to be working fine with me except one (that i've noticed) and that's the Cast bar. It's not showing until i cast something...which is normal...but when i do the cast bar is glitched. It says "Casting" but doesn't actually show a cast timer bar, just a glow look. then if i interrupt it the interrupt stays there.
and btw.. when showing lua error messages..this is the message that pops up.
Interface\FrameXML\CastingBarFrame?.lua:219: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)
thought maybe that would help.
Dominos works almost perfectly in 3.0.2, and is a good replacement for bonogs. I am glad I can use the "/dom numbars 30" command to get 30 bars with 4 buttons each.
I also dont see a minimap icon for it, should there be one?
One thing everyone needs to remember is that with a new major version change to WoW (say going from 2.4.3 to 3.0.x), you need to get rid of any existing dominos lua files in your WTF folder as well, lest it trys to pull settings from the older version.
But a question for you, there was another addon called "bongos skinned map" that allowed us to move the minimap and other frames that weren't covered by bongos. Is there a plan for this other addon for dominos?
Thanks again for the great mod, I was worried that when you discontinued Bongos, I would suffer greatly to WoW's default interface.
@ Mr.Mirak:
Have you tried the standard Dominos command: "/dom numbars 20"? That will give you 20 seperate bars, each with 6 buttons, no macaroons required.
Remember that you can only use this command to divide all the bars equally. so you could do 20 x6 bars, 30 x4 bars, 10 x12 bars, 60 x2 bars, etc. If you are really insane (and yes I have tried this), you could do 120 x1 bars so that each button is completely independent.
Typing /dom or /dominos doesn't do anything for me. It just tells me to type /help for a listing of commands.
On the Add-On menu, my Dominos Config mod shows up in red, as out of date. I have v1.6.1 Is that right?
It is installed in location WorldofWarcraft?\Interface\Addons\Dominos_Config? Is that right?
Can you recommend an addon that replaces the functionality of the old stats bar?
j85ason, I wanted to say thanks again for helping me and to all of you others for your input. I was able to get all the bars I needed and now things are all good! Great mod and great work!
moonthirsty: are you running WoW 2.4.3? The most recent versions of Dominos are WoW 3.0 only.
mattpbrush: There's a bunch of them, do a search for "stat" on wowinterface
I am trying to make my Dominoes change color on an ability when out of range. e.g. when i target a mob, all spells are red if out of range. For some reason there is no color indicating wether i am out of range or not.
Please help me!
I'm having an issue using /dom numbars 40. The bars above 20 or 21 are vertically offscreen, and they aren't locked together to start either. Is there a /command to recenter the bars onscreen or something?
I was a user of Bongos and love the range finding function of the boxes turning red when u were out of range does Dominos have or plan on adding this function?
Red range people, please actually read the guide :P http://code.google.com/p/tullamods/wiki/DominosPlugins
j85ason. I am running 3.0.2 on a vista machine. I have installed the folders to the interface addon folder and can not get /dom or /dominos to bring anything up.
lstagi, its an issue with vista + wow introduced by the new patch: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11296627243&sid=1
I'm a pagescroller, and when disabling pages (reducing to 3 bars instead of 5) you still technically have to scroll through 5 pages. ie, scrolling does page 1,1,1,2,3.
With the new keybind change so that they are all saved server-side, will Dominos save bindings server-side too or is it all still local to the PC it is currently on? Thanks! If I missed this, sorry! (I looked, I promise!)
Dominos should use the blizzard binding system, so however those bindings are saved are how Dominos should be, too.
can't get the key bindings function to work at all (it was working right after the patch but isn't any more. i saw the note and fix for the bindings not saving and was having that problem as well but this is new.
Hey! I love this addon, I used Bongos since it was just "Bongos" not "Bongos2" or what-not... it works with no errors! I only have a question about the "vehicle" box. I assume its for mounts or something right? I can move it around and fade it, I can make it disappear and everything... but I can't put my mounts into it. Am I just retarded or is this not finished yet? I'd like to know :D
The vehicle bar is for vehicles; its a wrath thing.
Ooh okay. Cool :D Thanks :)
Every thing seams to work,no problems except the bags, The main bag worcks when you click it, but when I click the icon for the other bags they dont open, and have to use F9, ect to have them display
I'm having a problem getting the bar configurations open, I right click on them yet nothing happens. Have I just missed that that functionality is NYI? (I'm really tired and should probably have gone to bed...)
What is the Bar: Roll and the Bar: Vehicle for?
roll bar - for rolling on items vehicle bar - for the vehicle ui, a wrath thing at this point.
is the latency/fps meters not in dominos anymore? (used to be in bongos)
When in Chess Room in Kara, my first 4 buttons on the action bar don't change so I can control chess piece. I am forced to sit out fight. Thanks for your help.
Make sure whatever bar you've set to be the possess bar is visible. If that doesn't solve the issue, then its an addon conflict.
The only HUGE complaint I have about dominos is when I use the "shift" key. I use shift + click for Grid for example and what happens is that it replaces one of my actionbars (the first one, which I also selected as Posses bar).
In the configuration page, I see an option to choose "none" for "Quick Move" option, which I suspect is causing the problem but no matter what I chose; as soon as I hit shift + click; it swaps the actionbar :(
any ideas?
Hi - I have the similar issue/question as the poster above - thought I would write it up to help...
When I create a macro with a shift key modifier, the shift key does not work as I would expect...
/cast modifier:shift? Foobar
If I add this macro to the toolbar, assign the key F to the macro button, and then press shift-F, the macro does not run.
I noticed however, that shift-F is assignable as a key combination, so my guess is this may be causing my problem.
No big stress overall, just thought I would write it up.
Thanks for the mod by the way - normally a thankless task :D
In his case, I think he's actually paging via shift + number (which are bound to the action page/quick page bindings by default). You want to either set the quick paging sliders to disabled, or unbind the quick page hotkeys from the blizzard keybindings menu.
what is "roll on" items?
Can anyone recommend an action bar replacement that will allow me to make a single action bar that as 12 columns x 4 rows?
I keybind everything and have my faded opacity set to 0 in Bongos so I can just flick the mouse over the action bar if, for example, I want to inspect a tooltip or cooldown. With Dominos I have 4 12x1 bars and each has separate opacity so when I flick over it I only see the current row.
If Dominos can't do this, can someone please suggest an alternative that can?
PS: Don't mean to sound like I'm moaning, every other aspect of Dominos is superb.
@harry.walsh: Dominos can do that. I've not tried your exact requirements, but I believe if you do this, you'll get what you want:
/dom numbuttons 48
Then follow that up disabling or hiding two bars and leaving only one 48 button bar enabled. If that doesn't work, some combination of the commands /dom numbars xx and/or /dom numbuttons xx should work.
Taken from: http://code.google.com/p/tullamods/wiki/DominosAdvanced
"Though its not really present in the GUI for Dominos, its possible to change the maximum number of buttons per bar (and in turn, determine how many bars you have). Simply use the slash commands /dom numbuttons '1-120' to determine how many bars you want based on the maximum number of buttons per bar, or /dom numbars '1-120' to determine exactly how many bars you want. Be aware that both command will reset your actionbar layout."
can you make an option of the buttons lock when in combat?
someone else asked this questions but did not get a reply:
Where is the latency/fps display? it used to be in bongos.
How do you move/drag the class, trinkets, extra and autobar? They are highlighted but no combo of buttons shift-click-cntl etc moves them. And it is not locked in the interface. Thanks!
latency/fps display: the computer button on the menu bar has that
lock buttons in combat: there's a general lock buttons option, and there's a way to disable the quick move key, so you cannot accidentally click off buttons. Not sure I'll add a third safeguard.
tonyc: Doesn't sound like its Dominos that's adding those bars.
Comment by j85ason
Re: tonyc: Doesn't sound like its Dominos that's adding those bars.
They are highlighted by clicking on the Dominos mini-map icon using shift-left click vs.just left clicking on the same button. Thanks!
does anyone know how to lock the buttons so when i click them i don't accidently click it off the bar? this is my biggest problem with Dominos... other then that, its great.
So is it still not Dominos? Or does someone know how to move the other bars around? TY
I like this addon but is there a way to get the bars to stay as you set them up? I've tried "save" and "set" but each time I logon the bars are all screwy again and I have to spend time moving them back around as I want them before I can play. I'm either missing something or maybe it's my system? I'm new at this so I am not ruling out it just being me but I can't find complete directions anywhere. Thanks!
Is there a way to make one large bar of 4 rows by 12 columns? I really need this functionality, and am considering forking dominos to add it if necessary.
How do I need to lock my buttons. I use both my mouse and keybindings and often i am dragging my buttons out of place. regards
crmandrill: that sounds like you have a bug with addons saving on your end. I hear there are vista related issues, but I've never experienced them.
If you use Shift (and perhaps Alt / Ctrl) to change bars, the keybindings don't work for the switched bar.
For example, I have Bar 1 set up with Modifier Shift to switch to Bar 9, so when I hold Shift Bar 9 appears. Key 4 is bound to the 4th button in Bar 1, and that works fine.
I would expect that holding Shift and pressing 4 would press the 4th button in Bar 9. But it doesn't.
There don't appear to be any conflicting keys in the Blizzard Keybindings interface. This worked in Bongos. I think it's just a bug?
I am also having a problem with configuring my bars. When I enter configuration mode and right click on them, nothing happens. I can't find any way to access the bar menus.
the main bar disappears on either the druid or the shammy, can't force it to happen logging out and back will sometimes return it but not everytime. Have the latest version from Curse 13/11/08. Can still fight etc using the keybound commands but mouse clickable icons are missing. Any advice ?
I am having an extremely annoying problem. Sometimes while playing, my main bar shifts randomly to another bar. I'm a druid, so I have the druid layout bar, Bar 1 shifts to bar 9 when I shift into Moonkin form, most of the time it shifts correctly... Sometimes I'll play for 10 minutes, and it shifts to bar 7 randomly. I don't know what sets this off. Regardless of what form I go in, it shifts to bar 7. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with vehicles or whatnot. Thanks for any help you can give!
What are the plans to add Death Knight Stances to the Modifier menu?
Death Knights do not have stances at this time.
I see what you are saying... that their Presences do not modify the bar. What would you recommend for a DK that wants a bar change based on Presence Blood for DPS, and Frost for Tanking
I would love to use Dominos but for some reason after I had used it for a single day it will now cause WoW to crash if I enable the addon.
Crashing after a day seems very strange.
brescol: At this point, I don't really have a good idea other than the manual paging stuff you can do now (shift + number).
I guess my issue was too little room for the system paging file so nothing to really do with Dominos, it just happened to set it off. Thanks for a great addon!
(im on a french client) Have some issue with "machines" like pvp zone in Grizzly hills. Button appear on bar1 but when I click nothing happen. The only way to execute the command is to disable Dominos and reload ui.
This is a known issue, and its one of those things I cannot determine a fix for at the moment, if its even on my end.
Ok J85ason can I eventually help you my side (I'm an addon dev too)
I'll try to execute command by using /cast "command" if it work it will do a workaround macro
I'm having an issue with "Roll" functionality since I installed Domino. I can't seem to roll on anything while in party or raid. Is there a setting I'm missing? Am I the only shlub experiencing this?
Other than that, this is a nice, little app. Far easier to deal with than Bartender...
Make sure that the roll bar is not hidden (it'll have grey text in config mode if it is). If that doesn't solve the problem, I'd just disable Dominos_Roll?.
I am an altaholic and sometimes forget to check the box "character specific" when setting keybindings. Then I have to go through all my characters and fix what I just messed up. Is there a way to change the default behavior so it automatically assumes the key bindings are character specific and I have to override if I ever want to change them all?
I don't think so, no. The setting is inherited from the blizzard setting.
hello my issue is i cant open the option to rescale my bars. i reinstalled it and checked if i had any of hte old files still saved on ... no luck yet. ty if u can help me out :)
Have you right clicked your bars when in config mode?
I am missing vehicular controls and similar things when I get a special control. For example when flying back Vic's plane to the landing area in Sholazar Basin I do not have any buttons but the standard "leave vehicle", "turn in quest" and "rockets" are missing. Also when the character changes into a skeleton in the bossfight in Drak'Tharon keep I do not have the special buttons for taunt etc. My version is 1.8.3.
I use a custom Classbar addon I modified to allow any of my classes to have a classbar that i've configured to hold buff's and teleports. Dominoes is hiding this classbar on classes that normally don't have a class bar, and I can't figure out how to stop it from doing this.
Used to use an actionbar mod before that allowed you to arc the action bars, so instead of a straight column or row, you could make the bar into a complete circle or slightly arc. I have my action bars set sort of like a hud around my char, is there an option in Dominos or does anyone know an action bar mod that will allow me to do this? I currently have 2 slot bars stacked on top of each other, slightly offset, 5 on top of each other so it creates the look that I have 2 arced bars when I'm really using 5 seperate, I'd like to cut it down to just 2.
Dominos doesn't do that, but I think Macaroon does.
Ok so I've used Bongos forever just for the roll bar moving function, but with dominos when I turn off everything but the roll bar the action bars still pop up. for bars I use bartender4, and right now I'd really just like to simply be able to move the roll bar, any idea why I can't just get the roll bar???
When I cast then quickly move to the World Map, the cast time does not start until I exit from the world map.
Issue Needed to be Solved:
I have a main hotbar with 2 pages. Pages 3,4,5,6 are disabled. Action page two is set to Bar 2. However, when I shift through my hotbar (using shift+arrow), it shifts through the other 4 bars anyway but still shows bar 1 as each page.
Ex. I'm on page 1. I shift up. I still see page 1. I hit it 3-4 more times and it finally goes to page 2. When I had Dominos last installed (about a week ago), it worked like this: page 1 > shift up > page 2 > shift up > page 1. Is there a way to shift between only 2 pages?
I've been having a very annoying issue that started just the past few weeks. Every now and then, the icons on Bar1 "swap" with the icons on another bar. This happens without warning and usually at the worst times. That is to say, all the things I have mapped to hotkeys 1 thorough "=" suddenly go off to some random bar, and then refill with icons that don't belong there. Just to be clear, I'm talking about ALL the icons on the bar, all at once. This isn't an accidental drag and drop, and I do have my bars locked.
The only way to fix it is to stop what I'm doing, figure out what moved where, and drag it all back into place. This really stinks in the middle of a raid, or worse yet, the middle of a battle.
A) Anyone else experiencing this? B) Is there way to save and then reload a given bar layout? At least it would give me a fast way to reload my damaged setup.
While I'm here, any idea what might happen to dominoes when dual spec comes out?
I'm curious, does anyone know if the new Dual Spec bars are brand new (bringing the total number of available 12 button bars to what, 11, 12?) or if they utilize the 'hidden' bars that Dominos has made available to us that the default UI never did? It'll make things... interesting for my druid that utilizes every last button available for all the specs and forms...
Hi.
I've been using Dominos for the last couple of months and it had the feature where if a target was out of range the button went red. I recently disabled Dominos (accidently) and then reenabled it and the feature was gone and I can't find it anywhere in the config menu to get it set up again. I never had any other mod (like Red Range) for this and I know others who use Dominos also have the red button-out of range feature. How do I get it to work again??
@toddhd
I get this error on occasion too. It randomly swaps my 1 bar another one (6, I believe). Moving an icon on the 'new' 1 bar will also change it on the other one as well. Doing a /reloadui does NOT work to fix it, nor does simply logging out and back in (I think). I have to completely shut WoW down and bring it back up to restore my original bars. It is very annoying and hope that a fix comes out soon for it.
You may want to read about quick paging. Shift + 1-6 by default, will switch bar 1.
Ok so i used to use bongos before i got dominos but what i was wondering, if i switched would my configuration on bongos go on to dominos? Because it took me a LONG time to configure all my stuff, especially for all my different "classes" like cat form and the such. So what im saying is if i switched would i have to reconfigure again?
yes you would. Dominos and bongos are completely separate addons.
Aww shoot that's gunna make reconfiguring a lot harder, but i guess I can also stick to bongos, or switch between addons and just take a couple screenshots what i have on bongos and put it on dominos. So does dominos have all the stuff that bongos had, or at least most of the important things.
Hey,
First of all, I want to thank you for the wonderful work on the addons Combuctor and Dominos. I really can't play WoW without them anymore. Well, I have two suggestions for them:
DOMINOS: In your previous addon (Bongos) we used to have an option to display the percentage of XP needed to level up or the percentage of XP needed to reach the next reputation level. It would be great if we could have this option available in Domino's XP bar.
COMBUCTOR: Is it possible to add an extra button on the bag to automatically sort all the items in the bags? I used to use a separated addon called MrPlow? to do that but it's not updated for a long time.
Thanks in advance!
I don't plan on adding % back to the xp bar. It's an optional component, though :)
Combuctor: Try bankstack, and type /sort. It does more than just your bank, and goes really fast.
I've read all the comments regarding key bindings and haven't found a solution. Is there any chance you'll adjust the default keybinding behavior to take into account dual-specs? I realize that keybinds can be saved per character, and that they're saved server-side, but I have yet to find a solution to having (and saving) multiple keybinds per character.
And I'd like to reiterate that I do see that the spells on my actionbar change when I change specs, but I would also like the arrangement of keybinds to change, or at least allow me to save the keybindings to different profiles.
Its not something I intend on implementing. If someone does implement spec bindings using the standard binding functionality, however, then Dominos should work out of the box with it.
Good to know! Thanks!
I am having a problem involving the new blizzard quest tracker. Now, if a quest has an item that needs to be used for the quest, a clickable icon appears next to the quest tracker. But, when I try to click the icon, I get an error message saying that "Dominos has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI". Can you please take a look into this? Or, is there some option I could change to fix this?
You should install the latest version, its resolved there.
How do I turn on the tooltips?
There's an option in game to hide actionbar tooltips, but beyond that, Dominos uses the blizzard settings.
I absolutely LOVE this addon. The functionality and simplicity are amazing. Its usefullness is almost infinite to me, it is certainly one of the best addons I have ever seen. Great job, congrats to the creator, seriously. I do have one issue however, and am hoping to get some clarification. When i am in the configure bars mode, where I am able to drag each bar into its own location, I have a small problem. It seems as though I cannot place the bars exactly anywhere I want. I am trying to place one of the bars so it fits neatly into a specific area which I had set it up for, and when I release it the bar jumps about a half-inch either to the left or to the right. I tried to work around this by changing the sizing and spacing of the bar. But I cannot seem to get the bar exactly where I want it to. Am I able to place bars EXACTLY where i want? Or will they always "jump" to pre-determined positions near-by?
You have two options: You can either disable sticky bars globally (its in the options menu), or you can hold alt while dragging.
Great!! That fixed it! Thank you so much, for the solution to my problem. Also thanks for being so prompt. You will definately be receiving a generous donation from me. Have a wonderful day sir.
Hello Tuller and thanks for Dominos, One small question, I noticed in the latest version - but it could be related to older versions as well - that when I dot something the border of the icon does not turn red - showing that the DOT is present to the target - anymore. One of my guildmates has an older version and it's working. That function is still present even in newer versions? If so I will check if there's an addon causing the problem or just wipe the saved-variables of dominos. :) Thanks!
I took Dominos_Buffs? out in the 3.1 version, since Inline Aura (check the adding extra functionality page), does a better job.
Thank you :) I'll have a look!
Greeting,
I would love to reinstall Dominos, but when I was using it before I could never get the buttons to come up when I was riding on something, like daily mounted quests. Is there an option that I am not seeing?
Mess around with your possess bar setting.
Now that the dual spec has come out, is there a different profile option so that we don't have to go and re-add spells back to the hot bars?
Would it be possible to have an option to lock individual bars? Currently you can lock all or none of themm, but an option to have some bars locked while having others unlocked to allow changes on the fly (switching out macros, etc) would be very handy.
No, but you can hold the quick move key to drag things off of your bar.
I'm not sure if the is a bar issue or what, but is there a way to move the tool tip anchor?
Dominos won't, but you can probably find a tooltip addon that can.
Is it possible to change one bar to be diagonal instead of horizontal?
There's no way to do that with Dominos. I think Macaroon has that ability, though.
Cheers thank you! I'll have a look =)
having trouble understanding why my travelers mount / repair doll is hidden or not shown. Can't seem to find any helpful forums post with people that have previously troubleshooted this tho so i might be missing something very obvious if you could help, thank you.
ah disregard my previous post. I found out that it was my map mod that was causing the issue.
I have a similar problem as some of the above posters in that one of my action bars will occasionally replicate another (for instance, bar 2 will show only what is on bar 1). After this glitch occurred, every change made to bar 1 would be made to bar 2. The only way I was able to work around this was to reinstall the addon and set up my UI again.
The second time it occurred I went back to the default UI. I'd love to go back but this bug is kind of a showstopper.
Great mod.
Only problem is when I switch characters. Is there a way to make the setup apply to all characters?
Referring the question above, I mean all characters across servers.
Perhaps copying a config file?
hi, the totem bar dosent show yet.. is this intended?
@danaaneal: Take a look at the WTF folder in your wow directory. It should contain everything you need to copy to other people.
@jimmy: You should get a totem bar when you learn the totem call spells (fire, water, air, etc)
