MacroBank

Macro Bank isn't working for me anymore.
I can't create any macros with it, the buttons are all blank, too.

Loading based on primary/secondary spec isn't working for me, the macros from the previous spec aren't being deleted so there isn't room for the new spec's macros.

I had one macro for prot labeled Charge set as the following:
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [target=mouseover, exists][target=target] Charge
/startattack
The other macro I had for arms was also labeled Charge and set as the following:
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [nostance:1] Battlestance; Charge
/startattack

When I had the macrobank set up to swap to my Prot macros in Prot stance and Arms macros in my Arms spec, as you said, new talents would load in (up until there was no longer any space) and the functionality of replacing Charge with Charge always in every case made me end up with the Arms version of charge instead of the Prot version of charge when I was in prot spec.

Personally what I was expecting from macro bank was the following:
1) Set up categories based on spec/playtype
ie -> prot pvp, prot pve, arms pve, fury pve, arms pvp
2) Put the macros you want to use in each category
3) Select which category you want loaded with primary and secondary spec.
4) When you change talent spec, macro bank wipes everything and only loads those categories you want loaded.

In this scenario one could specify general macros that they use in all specs as one category (warrior macros category) or w/e, these would load into the general category. Then set the macros they want in each specific talent setup and have those loaded into the character macros.

Idunno, I'm probably confusing in the way I'm trying to explain what I was expecting and/or what I want, but I figure it would just work better overall.

I just wanted to point out that I use a LOT of macros and my character tab is usually full, hence why I'm running into this problem. I have a fair amount of macros that I use in the general category and I'd prefer not having class specific macros in that tab. I was hoping macro bank could provide a solution to my problem =)

Just let me know if what I'm asking to do is unfeasible.

Guess I should try the new features before bothering to post stuff. Works great, I just gota remember where my macros go since they're technically deleted and don't stay on your bars when you switch back.

would using client based macros somehow mess up the mod for auto switching? can't remember if i'm still using it that way.

I'm confused by the primary/secondary spec settings of character category and global category. What exactly do those mean? Does it mean it loads the character category ones into the character specific macros and the global into the general macros?

One request, it'd be nice to be able to specify multiple categories to load when the spec changes.

Hi - awesome addon!! Now that I have it, I can't live without it!

Minor feature request:

I'd like a button to "send" a macro to party/raid/whisper, so that I can easily share my macros with people who have not yet downloaded MacroBank.

Pasting macro text into the chat window does not work properly (because the macro is interpreted rather than pasted). I realize people on the "receiving" end would still have to re-type it or use some copy/paste addon to create the macro, but at least as the "sender" my work is minimized.

I've been getting an error with MacroBank when I log on a character under the following conditions:
- Character is dual-spec *and* the secondary spec is active
- MacroBank is configured to automatically load macros based on spec

I only see the error when I first log in. It doesn't seem to happen during play.

I updated to r42, but I'm still seeing an error at log in (although a different error). Since you couldn't replicate the error, it seems something specific to my environment is triggering a change talent event at startup, which causes MacroBank to execute it's talent swap routine. I don't have any other addons that touch macros or talents, but I went ahead and disabled all my addons except MacroBank and the error still occurs.

Here's what I'm seeing with r42. Similar problem, but it gets a bit further before it chokes. Since it doesn't appear to be a conflict with another addon, is there a setting in the default interface that might trigger this state?

Hi Odlaw I have a question please.

I installed this a few days ago and all is well but I was wondering about a couple things. I have only been testing this on my lowbie Mage so I'm not sure if that matters or not but...

1) When we tell MacroBank to auto-load groups when switching talents, is it supposed to completely remove the existing ones first then load the group we designated? I have about 24 "general" macros set up and I tried testing it by removing all the macros from the default macro window then log out of game and back in again. Since I am only lvl 12 on this character I just assumed that it would automatically load the group for primary spec but it didn't.

2) If you place a macro from the default macro window on an actionbar somewhere, then delete the macro from the default macro window, the icon gets removed from the actionbars. Okay, I understand that, the macro no longer exists so it is removed. But I am wondering how MacroBank deals with this when we have it set to load groups when we switch between primary and secondary talents.

If for example I had 10 macros from the general tab in default macro window on my actionbars, then I switched to secondary talent spec -- and MacroBank loads the designated group it is supposed too, what happens to the macros I originally had on my actionbars from the primary spec?

I hope you get what I am asking.

Thanks.
