Version 2.0 Rewrite Released

With the new 2.0 version, settings will be reset as the addon has a bit more to it now and doesn't work exactly like it did before. Hopefully this general break down can get you started!

Notable Changes:

  • ActionBar Buddy no longers uses ElvUI's Inherit Global Fade option in the bar's section in the main ElvUI's settings. It now has it's own option in the Bar Settings section in ActionBar Buddy's settings.
  • ActionBar Buddy no longers uses ElvUI's Global Fade Transparency slider option in the General section ElvUI's ActionBars section to determine the value. It can be found in the Global section in ActionBar Buddy's settings.
  • If you would like to get back to the same functionality before the rewrite, all you have to do is;
    • Open ElvUI Options
    • Navigate to: Repooc Reforged Plugins -> ActionBar Buddy -> Bar Settings
    • Go to each bar and enable ActionBar Buddy's Inherit Global Fade option as ElvUI's is no longer used when you enable this one.
    • While you are doing the step above, ensure Custom Triggers is disabled. Doing so will ensure the triggers on the Global tab will control the bars visibility, just like it was before the rewrite.
    • After you have enabled Inherit Global Fade on the bars that had it before and made sure Custom Triggers are disabled, go to the Global tab and adjust the triggers and Global Fade Transparency slider.
    • Congratulation's, you now reproduced the same effects as before the rewrite! You should take some time with the Custom Triggers on some bars as it can yield some nice and clean looking UI!

Did you ever use ElvUI's Inherit Global Fade option and wish that it would not trigger and show all the bars when you were Dragon Riding (aka Dynamic Flight) but instead, have only bar 1 to become fully visible when you get on the Dragon Riding mount? You can do that! With ActionBar Buddy's Inherit Global Fade option (not ElvUI's built in one), you can pick and choose if the bars share the same triggers, or some have custom triggers set, while the others share the global setting!

ActionBar Buddy is the solution! This ElvUI plugin allows you to focus on what matters by letting you take more control over what ElvUI's Inherit Global Fade gave you so you can set bars to react on a select few events instead of all of the ones ElvUI does. Take that control of your bars now and download ActionBar Buddy!

Features:

  • Highly Customizable (If Needed): The main options are all located in ActionBar Buddy's section once you navigate to the Repooc Reforged Plugins section at the bottom of the navigation bar in ElvUI's configuration window.
  • Control Over The Triggers: You can now have those bars show on mouseover or combat, not one or the other! You have a bit more freedom to do what you like with your bars without cluttering your screen and show when you really need them to.

Future Updates:

I strive to keep ActionBar Buddy up to everyone's needs. While I welcome and value your feedback, please understand that not all suggestions may be implemented. I'll carefully consider each idea for additional customization options and features, ensuring that any future updates align with the essence of this plugin which is aimed at making the current triggers that ElvUI sets, to be optional.

Your input is crucial in shaping the journey of this addon. Thank you for being part of the community driving its growth!

Note: Ensure you have ElvUI installed for functionality.
