BarKeep

BarKeep main features:

• All the main action buttons can be configured to have from 1-12 buttons.
• All the main action bars can be reconfigured to have up to 12 rows, so you can have 6 buttons x 2 rows, 3 buttons by 4 rows etc. This is done still using the Blizzard button code for compatibility.
• All the main action bars can be scaled independently of one another.
• Stance bar, possess bar, pet bar and vehicle bar can all be relocated to where the user wants them to be.
• All bars can be hidden if you want, some using the Blizzard options from the interface menu, others using BarKeep.
• The options are configured by a GUI accessed from /barkeep or /bk.
• It uses an event / hook based structure for minimal CPU usage.

I want to say thanks to the previous developers of this CleanBar & CleanBarAdvanced since BarKeep would not be possible without their initial help.

** Now with support for ButtonFacade via the optional BarKeep_ButtonFacade add-on. BarKeep_ButtonFacade can be found in the 'Optional Files' tab. **

** Now with the BarKeep treatment applied to the Vehicle Bar! As tested on Mammoths and while dogfighting Gargoyles! The Vehicle Bar now loses the art and can be relocated anywhere you need (like the possess and pet bars). On unlocking BarKeep you'll see a frame defining the limits of the Vehicle bar and you can relocate this like any of the other bars. The Vehicle Bar scale is set to the same as the Main Bar (so the relative sizes are always the same).**

So why use BarKeep?

It enables complete rearrangement and scaling of the Blizzard bars and so has some advantages over the traditional bar mod:

1. It uses Blizzards buttons (and button code). So pretty much it's always compatible if Blizzard make any changes.
2. Its really light in use - doesn't use a lot of memory and CPU cycles.
3. It seems pretty stable as a result of the above.
4. It'll work with cooldown, ranged mods that work with Blizzard buttons and also ButtonFacade with another small mod.

Commands:

/barkeep - show the config screen.
/bk - show the config screen.

FAQ:

• I can't see all the bars when I first use the addon. All I see are the '+'s that enable the bar placement? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to set which bars are active or not, just as you would the Blizzard bars.
• How do I set the Key Bindings? - Use the Blizzard Key Bindings interface to set the bindings for all the bars.
• How do I lock the actions on the bars? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to lock the Blizzard bars.
• How do I permanently show the empty buttons? - Use the Blizzard 'Action Bars' tab in the interface menu to show the empty button grid.

Future Plans:

• Bug fixes once identified.
• A reconfiguration of the mod to easily allow for additional layout types for the bars. This should be fairly easy to do, it'll just require a some coding in BarKeep.lua and a change to the configuration screen, but could take some time as I'll make the changes slowly and test carefully.

Known Issues:
No known issues. I'll be looking to support this mod moving forward as long as it is within the ability of my LUA coding skills.

BarKeep version 30000.20
-------------------------
-Slightly more complicated vehicle change-over management to (hopefully) handle Malygos' vortexes and the ghost issue.

BarKeep version 30000.19
-------------------------
-Further tweaked MultiBar attachment points
-Reverted back to a hook for vehicle change over - should avoid the Malygos vortex issue that was reported. Behavior will be a little different on non-ability mounts.

BarKeep version 30000.18
-------------------------
-Changed the MultiBar attachment points to (likely) solve Lagby's problem
-Changed the intialization event to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD to also (likely) solve Lagby's problem (by intializing on zoning also)
-Tweaked the various bar attachments to standardize method (still a bit more to do on this but not critical).

BarKeep version 30000.17
-------------------------
-Adjusted the vehicle change-over event to only adjust with the player. Avoids the bars turning invisible when a nearby grouped player uses a vehicle.
