AlphaGear Lives  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 5.00
by: Lohengramm82 [More]
UPDATE: I don't play ESO any more, love the game, might again in the future, but as of right now this is not being maintained. Others have asked if they can take over and I hope they do!

I do not take credit for the creation of this mod, all credit goes to AlphaLemming who originally created and maintained AlphaGear up until June 2016, at which point it stopped receiving updates for 2 consecutive API updates.

That being said, I am a professional programmer and am going to try to do more than just update the API version number going forward. Please submit bug reports to this AddOn page and I will try to fix them, and I may even be able to implement new features at some point if I have the time.

What Is AlphaGear?

AlphaGear lets you create up to 16 sets of gear that may be equipped with a single button press. You can assign each set to a different key on your keyboard for easy swapping when out of combat. This is not the same as regular in-game weapon swapping as it allows you to swap both of your weapons, both of their skill bars and your entire armor set at the same time! Fantastic!

I just started playing ESO in November of 2016, and out of all the AddOns I downloaded AlphaGear was my favorite by far, despite being nearly half a year outdated. I've tried other gear set solutions and in my limited experience they're just not as good for a variety of reasons, but I'm not going to start bad talking other mod authors by getting specific

Usage Tips
  • Bind your number pad to gear sets if you aren't using it already because they are not considered the same as your number row keys by ESO
  • Create 2 (or more) sets with the same equipment, but different skill bars to create situational skill setups (solo, group, etc...)
  • Create a radial menu using Big Picture mode with your Steam or Dual Shock 4 controller (Steam beta) to make swapping gear sets a breeze! Combine this with my first tip and set your radial menu buttons to num1, num2, etc...
Found a Bug?

Tell me! I'm going to try to keep this thing working going forward for as long as I play ESO, if only because I intend to use it extensively! I will take all bug reports seriously and attempt to fix them, though it may take a while for me to figure them out since I didn't write this (or any other...) AddOn.

Version 5.00 Notes
  • Updated the APIVersion number so that ESO would no longer consider it an "out of date" AddOn
  • Started adding comments to the functions created by AlphaLemming
  • No functional changes from version 4.08, report some bugs and I'll get to fixing them

Is anyone else having issue's with the option to automatically fill the weapons again?
Never noticed it working, I always have to do it manually.

Exclamation Bug aka not supporting tabards and poisons.

When trying to drag&drop tabards or poisons a Lua bug splat comes up with the following message.
bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table/struct expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'pairs'
user:/AddOns/AlphaGear/AlphaGear.lua:818: in function 'AG.SetCallout'
user:/AddOns/AlphaGear/AlphaGear.lua:515: in function 'AG.OnItemDragStart'
EsoUI/Libraries/Utility/ZO_Hook.lua:19: in function 'ZO_InventorySlot_OnDragStart'
ZO_StackSplitSource_DragStart:4: in function '(main chunk)'
Please add support for both.

That said, the add-on description where you ask for bug reports does not include any ingame ways to do so.

it saves skills, but not specific for the overload bar. but you can save that skills u need there in the first bars and change them manually whenever you need to - by changing into the ulti and klick on the number left to the skillline you want to use.

Will this addon be updated to fix the bug with switching weapons and perhaps support for poisons?

If not, anyone know what addon has the same features as this and is not bugged atm?

Got the same Problem. But funny fact - it happens if you try to change a weapon manually as well.
I tried to change from my Maelstrom-Bow to my Master-Bow without Alpha-Gear and it switched back by itself. Switch to Dual wield and change the Bow works.

So i tried deactivating all of my addons and keep only Alpha-Gear running - without all other addons its working.
Another test with manually change weapons while Alpha-Gear is deactivated but all of my other Standard-Addons keep running - same problem again. So its any other Addon of my 70 running Addons (damn i got a problem - i think i am addicted to addons)
Anyway - i figured out that this problem only exists when the Addon Show Weapons While Mounted is running and i was not on my mount. Sitting on the mount and changing weapon still works but unmounting and try to change the current weapon - not possible.

But i checked the comments on that Addon and i figured out ZOS already made that Addon in 2015 obsolete so Alpha gear works fine now since i deinstalled it...

#edit: today i got the same Problem i had before only with "show weapons while mounted" addon is active. I was not able to change a weapon i am currently using. But i am not sure if its a addon-based bug or a game-based bug...

This can be incredibly annoying, especially when you roll up upon an open-world boss fight and your rush to join in, hit your hotkey to switch to 'boss killer' loadout and engage in combat, switch to back bar, only to realize that AlphaGear never switched your backbar loadout!!! It's aweful. I have had this happen prior to Homestead update though, but since Homestead I think it's worse. Makes me wonder if it has anything to do with the supposed 'fix' they put in having to do with unsheathing weapons prior to swapping... perhaps there's some sort of glitch occurring with this addon involving that.

So now, whenever I swap, I literally have to swap bars to verify first that both weapon loadouts have changed before engaging in combat. I also know that there is an issue where if you have the same gear but with different enchants/traits, sometimes it will not recognize they are different and will not swap them. Had that problem with jewelry lately... trying to swap weapon damage enchanted ring with cost reduction enchanted ring (both Agility set), and it would not swap. I had to spend several minutes clearing, equipping, unequipping, resaving, until I found the right slot so that the addon would recognize that the rings are actually different, even though they are from the same set.

I’m really love this add-on!

It will be good to add equiping slots for Apperance and Poisons.

What you are asking for/trying to do is CHEAT! There is a reason you cannot swap things IN COMBAT, why you cannot make changes IN COMBAT, it's to prevent this type of cheating; ZOS will BAN YOU if they catch you using any system to circumvent these designed safeguards.

AlphaGear is immensely useful outside of combat because it allows you to create loadouts, armor sets, etc... that you swap PRIOR to combat. I have different loadouts/gear setups for various content, and that is exactly what it was designed for.
don't worry. since i remember, it was NEVER possible to change item pieces IN COMBAT. you just CAN'T do it. and i don't remember any exploit about that. as long there is no exploit/bug from zos side, you can't do that.

The only addon that worked was the most outdated, Dressing room with an update another released for one tamriel. (something about all IDs shuffling by one and two dk abilities swapped). Works like a charm, i can stress the addon and faceroll the keybindings and it never makes a mistake! Yay!
Also having this issue with AlphaGear lately
