Trinity Bars 2.0

Trinity Bars 2.0

- Complete line-by-line rewrite of code.

- Unlimited Buttons:

• With the new 2.3 API, limiting buttons to 120 is no longer necessary. Also, an initial install creates less buttons, letting the user have more control over deciding how many to create and use.

• Buttons can now be designated as specific types of buttons -
  • "action": buttons that are based on the 120 action ID's and reflect spell placements in Blizz default UI.
  • "spell": buttons that are based on specific spells.
  • "item": buttons that reflect items dropped into the buttons
  • "macro": buttons that utilities the secure template macro system that allows for an unlimited number of macros up to a length of 1023 characters.
  • "slot": buttons that reflect items current equipped for the specified slot

- Casting Bar and XP Bar Mini Addons:

• 1.0 made for huge headaches dealing with non-button frames. Usually when people had loading issues, it was due to these frames, namely the casting bar and the XP bar. 2.0 moves these frames into their own independent addons. This also allows for those users who want to use more advanced versions of casting bars or XP bars to more easily disable the Trinity versions.
  • Trinity Cast Bars - Manages casting bars, ability to create more than one
  • Trinity XP - Manages XP/Rep bars, ability to create more than one
  • Both of these mini-addons now allow for custom bar textures and borders

- New configuration methods:

• Trinity Bars 1.0 originally had a configuration method that appealed to many people. However, it was limited and did not hold the extensibility that I needed to continue to make Trinity as robust as I wanted. 2.0 brings a means of configuration.
  
  There are 3 configuration modes, each having a "simple" mode and an "advanced" mode.
  • Dock Edit Mode
  • Binding Edit Mode
  • Button Edit Mode
  Each mode can be toggled by left(simple) or right(advanced) clicking their respective minimap buttons.
