Hiding and Showing Bars

I'm putting this here because I've gotten more than one "Dominos sucks! You cannot even hide bars using the thing!" post in my life :P

To hide or show a bar in Dominos, enter configuration mode and then either middle click or shift right click the bar you wish to hide/show. Now, the actual frame for moving the bar around will not go away when you hide the bar (else, how would you show the bar again?), but you should notice that the stuff inside does disappear. Beyond color coding, that's the way to know that the bar is hidden.


Moving Things Without Sticking Them to Other Things

Dominos includes a feature that causes bars to auto anchor to each other, or even certain points on the edge of the screen, after moving them. Some people don't like that, so I've added a bypass: Hold down alt when moving a bar to disable the sticky behavior.


Changing What Buttons are Displayed on a Bar Under Certain Conditions (Paging)

Dominos has a feature that allows one action bar to display the buttons on another action bar when under a certain condition, such as when in bear form, or holding down a modifier key. I call this concept "bar mirroring," but its more commonly known as "paging".

Beyond mirroring the functionality of the stock interface (which also changes based on what form you're in), paging is nice for the following reasons:

Here are the following conditions you can switch a bar on, and in what order they are checked:

So if you're holding down alt, in stealth, and targeting a friendly unit, Dominos will try to find a page for alt down, then if it does not find one check for one for stealth, then if it cannot find one, check for a page for enemy target. If none are found, then the bar will not change.

To change your paging settings, enter configuration mode, right click the action bar you want to change, and mess with the sliders for either your class, quick paging, targeting, or modifiers. Disabled means that the bar will no longer change in that state, bar 'x' means that the bar will show the buttons on the given action bar when in the given state.

Configuring paging settings is best done in the form you want a bar to change in. So, for example, if I wanted to make actionbar 3 show the buttons on actionbar 4 when in bear form, I'd hop into bear form, enter config mode, right click bar 3 to open up its config menu, select Druid from the panel dropdown, and swt the bear form slider to 4. When you do that, the slider should instantly show the buttons on bar 4.


The Possess Bar

The possess bar is a special state which causes your action bar to change when you lose control of your character and gain control of another. This is used, for example, during the Karazhan chess event, the Priest's Mind Control ability, or Hunter's Eyes of the Beast ability. You can configure which bar to use as the possess bar via the possess bar option in the main options menu (/dominos).


Hiding and Showing Actionbars Under Certain Conditions

Suppose, for example, you wish to make an action bar show only when in combat. This is possible in Dominos. First, enter configuration mode, and right click the bar you wish to edit. Next, choose the show states option from the dropdown. You'll see an edit box and an okay button. In the text box, enter in combat in brackets, then press the okay button. If you're not in combat, then the bar should immediately hide. To remove the setting, simply clear the edit box, and press okay. The bar should then immediately reappear.

All macro options are valid conditions for show states.


Making a Bar Transparent When Your Mouse is Not Over Tt

Dominos includes a feature that allows you to set a bar to become partially, or even fully transparent when the bar does not have focus. To use this feature, enter cofiguration mode and right click the bar you wish to fade. Then, mess with the faded opacity slider until the bar is as transparent as you want it to be.

Note: Dominos uses the following formula to calculate the opacity of a bar when it does not have focus:

effectiveOpacity = normalOpacity * fadedOpacity

So, if you have a bar's opacity set to 50% (0.5), and its faded opacity's value is set to 50% (0.5) then its opacity when the mouse is not over the bar will be 25% (50% x 50%)


15 Button Bars (and More)

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.

Dominos is limited to a maximum of 120 action buttons due to some hardcoded limitations by Blizzard. If you require more buttons than this, take a look at Macaroon.


Comment by koskun, Oct 08, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 08, 2008

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.

Comment by koskun, Oct 13, 2008

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?

Comment by koskun, Oct 13, 2008

I just installed the latest version for the beta and now you can't remove the default key-bindings on bar 1. Why not?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 13, 2008

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.

Comment by andrewsmith.unc, Oct 14, 2008

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.

Comment by oli...@astro.ufl.edu, Oct 14, 2008

How do I get a blank button space back after putting a spell there?

Comment by bradleyjordan, Oct 14, 2008

read about the /dom numbutton <# of buttons> command...not as handy as the alt-drag feature of bongos but manageable. thanks

Comment by jessicabstevens, Oct 15, 2008

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

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 15, 2008

err, you want to enter in a number, ex /dom numbuttons 10, or /dom numbuttons 12

Comment by jessicabstevens, Oct 15, 2008

ha ha doh im a tard

Comment by bluephile, Oct 15, 2008

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!

Comment by bluephile, Oct 15, 2008

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!

Comment by sam.greenberg, Oct 15, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 15, 2008

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.

Comment by sdouble, Oct 15, 2008

I would also love variable length bars to return. Not necessarily the alt+drag bit, but at least /dom numbuttons (bar) (numbuttons)

Comment by Robert.L.Hood, Oct 16, 2008

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...

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 16, 2008

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.

Comment by congokurt, Oct 16, 2008

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?

Comment by ljaahni, Oct 16, 2008

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.

Comment by michael.t.mariani, Oct 16, 2008

Is there a way to set State so that a bar only shows when out of combat?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 17, 2008

That's what the Hiding and Showing Actionbars Under Certain Conditions section is about.

Comment by badgob, Oct 17, 2008

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

Comment by badgob, Oct 17, 2008

@ 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.

Comment by michael.t.mariani, Oct 18, 2008

"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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 18, 2008

A person above posted a solution for your problem, the nocombat condition.

Comment by riskfactorblarg, Oct 18, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 18, 2008

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.

Comment by ArthemG, Oct 19, 2008

Hello. Is there a way to combine 2 states show bar during the combat and fade when out f combat. Thank you.

Comment by hugo.lihaug, Oct 19, 2008

Is it possible to change the bar state on a buff gain? (In my case Shadow Dance)

Comment by jkapernicus, Oct 19, 2008

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?

Comment by gemma.seabrook, Oct 19, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 19, 2008

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

Comment by llachness, Oct 19, 2008

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.

Comment by ucla74, Oct 20, 2008

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!

Comment by StarChaser.Tyger, Oct 20, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 20, 2008

err, did you adjust the possess bar option?

Comment by StarChaser.Tyger, Oct 20, 2008

/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.

Comment by StarChaser.Tyger, Oct 20, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 21, 2008

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.

Comment by AdrianH1979, Oct 21, 2008

When I use my shadowdance and swap to action page 2 for my ability's I get a C stack overflow. Any suggestions?

Comment by joe.bissot, Oct 21, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 21, 2008

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 :)

Comment by aaron...@yahoo.com, Oct 22, 2008

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

Comment by scotjer, Oct 23, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 23, 2008

aaron: Can you post an issue with a screenshot of the paging setups for your bars?

scotjer: I'm pretty sure its not possible.

Comment by sircasey, Oct 25, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 25, 2008

Sounds like a bug.

Comment by sircasey, Oct 25, 2008

Anything I can do to help troubleshoot it?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 25, 2008

I found and fixed the issue in the development version.

Comment by sircasey, Oct 25, 2008

Wow, that's awesome! I'll try it out... Thanks so much!

Comment by sircasey, Oct 26, 2008

Oh, when I said that I thought there would be a beta version link somewhere around here. Guess I'll wait for release :)

Comment by littlefo...@aol.com, Oct 26, 2008

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!

Comment by calibrae, Oct 26, 2008

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!

Comment by chrisadam101, Oct 26, 2008

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!

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 27, 2008

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.

Comment by elendardk, Nov 01, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Nov 01, 2008

self cast key = when held down, whatever spell you have will target yourself.

Comment by vonruhne, Nov 01, 2008

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

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Nov 02, 2008

Read the slash command portion of the wiki

Comment by Leucocepha, Nov 03, 2008

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.

Comment by bbj911, Nov 07, 2008

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 ?

Comment by burrton, Nov 14, 2008

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.

Comment by oomusama, Nov 15, 2008

macro condition to know if you are in a vehicle bonusbar:5?

to hide bar if you are in a vehicle : bonusbar:5?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Nov 15, 2008

target=vehicle,exists?vehiclestuff;nonvehiclestuff is what I use

Comment by Pexcer, Nov 16, 2008

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?

Comment by mheine, Nov 17, 2008

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Nov 17, 2008

Well, basically its "log out after setting up dominos, before crashing"

Comment by amalgham, Nov 17, 2008

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.

Comment by 7iemecie, Nov 18, 2008

I the same problem that amalgham, do you have an idea of the problem ? thank you for your assistance.

Comment by Pexcer, Nov 19, 2008

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.

Comment by amalgham, Nov 19, 2008

@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?

Comment by amalgham, Nov 20, 2008

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.

Comment by Pexcer, Nov 21, 2008

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.

Comment by JeeumPearson, Nov 22, 2008

Thanks for this awesome addon.

Comment by joelpoel, Nov 22, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Nov 23, 2008

make sure binding + number commands are not bound to something in the blizzard bindings menu.

Comment by myjunkmailacct, Nov 24, 2008

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.

Comment by thetia...@aol.com, Nov 29, 2008

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!)

Comment by sanddragon, Dec 11, 2008

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 =)

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Dec 12, 2008

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).

Comment by sanddragon, Dec 12, 2008

yeah, i didn't really think it would be OS related. thanks for the reply and keep up the good work =D

Comment by Vampirekid.13, Dec 13, 2008

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.

Comment by thetia...@aol.com, Dec 13, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Dec 15, 2008

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

Comment by thetia...@aol.com, Dec 15, 2008

Aha, now I can stop looking for it :D Thanks!

Comment by d.rudger.stewart, Dec 18, 2008

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?

Comment by pewter77, Dec 20, 2008

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Dec 20, 2008

Have you tried nobonusbar:5??

Comment by pewter77, Dec 21, 2008

thanks worked perfectly

Comment by WhiteJLC, Jan 04, 2009

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 05, 2009

Nope. The set of actions that you can hide/show a bar on are limited to those macro conditions.

Comment by mike.suter, Jan 05, 2009

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!

Comment by badgob, Jan 05, 2009

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 05, 2009

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.

Comment by badgob, Jan 06, 2009

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).

Comment by badgob, Jan 10, 2009

Upgraded to version 1.8.3. Any word yet on the blizzard fps counter?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 10, 2009

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.

Comment by badgob, Jan 10, 2009

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.

Comment by badgob, Jan 15, 2009

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?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 15, 2009

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.

Comment by badgob, Jan 20, 2009

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).

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 20, 2009

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.

Comment by akolsky, Jan 22, 2009

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

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Jan 22, 2009

Quest bar: not something I Intend to add. Profile for each spec: This will happen when blizzard implements dual specs.

Comment by kist...@foroctr.com, Jan 31, 2009

Great AddOn? for action bars

but I have a question, How can I toggle the experience bar to a reputation bar?

Comment by duk...@hotmail.com, Feb 01, 2009

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?

Comment by kist...@foroctr.com, Feb 02, 2009

thank you very much duk...@hotmail.com but it does not work for me

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Feb 02, 2009

duk: do you have ctrl used as selfcast? kist: click the xp bar or uncheck the "always show experience" option

Comment by kist...@foroctr.com, Feb 02, 2009

j85ason that's right!

thank you very much!

Comment by duk...@hotmail.com, Feb 02, 2009
j85ason: You are the man! I forgot I set CTRL for my selfcast key a while back. Thanks a ton! :))
Comment by wwhhoo, Feb 09, 2009

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).

Comment by kitty3leila, Feb 10, 2009

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

Comment by comets, Feb 14, 2009

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!)

Comment by jezaquest, Feb 17, 2009

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?

Comment by j...@bogon.com, Feb 25, 2009

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.

Comment by ardentsage, Apr 05, 2009

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.

Comment by bigrobbo...@hotmail.co.uk, Apr 14, 2009

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 ?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Apr 14, 2009

Nogroup and group are valid modifiers for that, I think

Comment by bigrobbo...@hotmail.co.uk, Apr 14, 2009

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.

Comment by Vixen.Goddess, May 12, 2009

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.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, May 12, 2009

Check the quick paging bindings in the keybindings menu.

Comment by Vixen.Goddess, May 12, 2009

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.

Comment by bossmansmith, May 14, 2009

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.

Comment by glikb...@yahoo.com, Jun 11, 2009

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.

Comment by radeex, Jul 11, 2009

I have the same problem that joelpoel above has, but I understand why I'm having it. It's because of this in the main page above:

"While the buttons on your action bar change what they do, the bindings used to trigger those buttons do not change."

This means that it looks like the only way using modifiers to change the page is useful is if you're using the mouse to click on them, or something. Otherwise you might as well just be using direct keybindings for your non-main-bar actions.

I think there's a good reason to allow this kind of thing, though. I don't want to explicitly bind every single one of my actions to a key! I'd rather just organize them into groups and then select a different bar temporarily by holding down a modifier key, and then pressing the associated number to execute the action at that position in the currently-selected action bar.

Is there any way to do this?

Comment by chaceg, Aug 13, 2009

Long time user, First time writer. I love Dominos, I feel naked playing WoW without it, but I'm not a fan of how it handles the new shaman bar, I love the expandable menu's that Yata & Blizzard incorporated. Is there a way that you can either incorporate this or make Blizzards totem-bar movable?

Comment by GanHuanJun, Aug 26, 2009

Hi there. I was wondering if the paging options were dependent on states {stealthed, alt down, etc.} or if they could be activated by having something equipped (like a fishing pole to activate a small fishing bar). Love the app. It works great with my n52te.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Aug 26, 2009

the paging options built in to dominos depend on states, which are macro conditions internally. so it would be possible to modify dominos to allow paging based on things like what type of item you have equippped, but I've not done so.

Comment by dbodinem, Sep 01, 2009

Long time user...

Have had this happen at least 3 times that I can remember. But I must be pressing something because sometimes my Action Bar 1 just becomes Action Bar something else and I lose complete functionality. Last time, I was in an instance when Action Bar 1 became Action Bar 3 and I could no longer attack and my stealth bar was gone as well.. When I try to and place the write spells on the action bar it replaced on Action Bar 3 as well...So I lose the functionality of Action Bar 3. My short term fix was to create a mirror of Action Bar 1 on Action Bar 2 and then hide Action Bar 2 so in the event it does it at a convenient time I can show Action Bar 2 and continue on.

Tried reloading consoleui, but didn't fix it but it did fix it when I logged out, exited and restarted the game.

To date this has only happened on 2 of my toons: druid and rogue which both utilize different stances (forms and stealthed respectively).

Any idea what I'm pushing to trigger this?

Comment by withmask, Sep 03, 2009

dear author how can i delet unnecessary bars i.e i just need 6 bars 72 buttons how can i delet 7-12 bars

Comment by aethrynne, Sep 26, 2009

I recently switched to Dominos having used BT for years. There is a particular functionality I am after which does not seem available via the ingame configuration. I imagine it is something I could achieve with a tiny bit of code tinkering.

I hide all my keybound bars and only show one small bar with a select few cooldowns that I like to keep an eye on.

The keybinds on bar 1 are the keybindings I like to use when I am in a vehicle, so I have bar:1 page to bonusbar:5

However, I would also like for my one visible bar to also display the vehicle bar.

Is there anyway I can have Dominos turn two bars into possess bars?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Sep 27, 2009

Only one bar can be the possess bar at this time. You could modify the following method to allow more:

--returns true if the possess bar, false otherwise
function ActionBar:IsPossessBar()
	return self == Dominos:GetPossessBar()
end

would probably become

--returns true if the possess bar, false otherwise
function ActionBar:IsPossessBar()
	return self == ActionBar:Get(1) or self == ActionBar:Get(2)
end
Comment by bradjohnsonmail, Oct 03, 2009

I must be a moron... but I can't figure this out.

At first, with my warlock, when I summoned a minion, my bar 1 would change and I didn't like that so I changed something...

Now everything is like I like it (I don't want any of bars to change under normal circumstances), but when I get on a ram for brewfest, uh, nothing changes and I can't get the ram controls. I would like those controls on my bar 1.

Help please?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 03, 2009

Set your possess bar to bar 1.

Comment by bradjohnsonmail, Oct 03, 2009

Thanks but it was already set to action bar 1. Not working.

Comment by bradjohnsonmail, Oct 03, 2009

Any other ideas why it's not working?

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Oct 04, 2009

Unfortunately, no. It may be an addon conflict.

Comment by erwal...@sbcglobal.net, Oct 24, 2009

hey man, LOVE all your addons, and have been using them for a long while ... recently, I reinstalled WoW and lost some odd font settings I'd changed years ago, but managed to hold onto WoW through whatever patches ever since. So, now I'm trying to fix said font issues with newer addons and whatnot, but I can't seem to get a few things to change: Basically, I was wondering if its possible to change the font(s) for the keybindings on the buttons.

I've tried tinkering, but nothing too involved... they seem to always stay at a very, very wee size, and with shadows enabled. Is there a way to set the font(s), either by hand in-game, or in LUA code, or via another addon? Thanks again!

Try form:2?

Comment by djnoha, Oct 30, 2009

Minor feature request:

I've noticed that the alt-dragging of bars seems to disable stickiness only at the END of the drag. When two bars are stuck together, depending on which of the two I am dragging away, there doesn't seem to be any way to disable the stickiness. I'd like it if ALT would prevent the stickiness at the beginning of the drag, i.e., if I am holding alt then I will only ever move one bar.

Otherwise I LOVE Domino - great work! I just came back to the game after a long break, and I had to set up all my bars again because I can't play without it at this point.

Comment by Kael.Hammond, Nov 04, 2009

Big fan of your mod but I'd really love to see Totem bars that more closely mirror the tool blizzard implemented. Specifically the roll over menus and compact display instead of the current implementation.

Keep up the great work!

Comment by erwal...@sbcglobal.net, Nov 07, 2009

Thank you so much for your rapid response to my question about fonts. (and, sorry for MY slow response time.) I tried tekticles, as you suggested, and it seems very similar to another one i'd been using, "fontifier." Unfortunately, they all seem to do nothing to change the font size on my Dominos bars. I'll keep puttering around and see if i find something.

In the meantime, I guess, I've kinda gotten used to the tiny font size ... so, it may be a moot issue anyway!

thanks again!

Comment by shawnoyes, Feb 06 (2 days ago)

What happens if I manually change the max button value and add a bit of code to handle the creation of the additional buttons? I just want two additional buttons that aren't part of the core 120 and Macaroon seems like major overkill.

Comment by j85a...@gmail.com, Feb 07 (2 days ago)

You'll get buttons that do not work :P Specifically, the next set of buttons you get will be the possess bar set. At one point, you were actually able to put skills on those buttons, but they automatically reset when you enter a vehicle/cast eyes of the beast etc.
