lol this whole conversation got kinda totally confused now

i reinstalled and its working for me now. so here is what you can do:

saving a "complete" set (2 bars) under the same name:
switch to bar 1, choose your skills, choose a name, click save
switch to bar 2, choose your skills, use the same name, click save

if you now load that setup both bars will be filled with the selected skills. however the skills are always bound to the bar in which they were in while you saved the setup. so the skills you choose for bar 1 will be loaded in bar 1 and the skills you choose for bar 2 will be loaded in bar 2

so what you cant do is, and thats what you are trying to do ( i finally go it ):

switch to bar 1, select your skills, choose a name, save it
switch to bar 2, load your just saved file and watch bar 2 being filled with the skills that you just saved in bar 1.... the outfitter will always load those skills in bar 1 because you saved them as "weapon/bar1"

so if for some reason you really need only 1 bar to be set you have to make a note in the name to what bar it belongs.. (like i did because somehow saving 2 bars with the same name wasnt working for me)

maybe there is a way to just save a skill-set without binding it to a specific bar and then just load it in whatever bar is just active, but i dont know, cos i really know bull about lua or programming in general

Hey Wykkyd, having a problem with the addon and using it with the frameworks macro system.

I have a setup for 2handed and dual wield. It will let me switch from the 2handed to dual wield, equipping all the gear, but won't equip with second weapon. Also, it will put in all the skill abilities in the bar, but then I cannot switch back to the 2hand setup, once I've already been in the dual wield. Will not load anything, until I reload the UI.

Ohh OK! now I get it.
I wasn't trying to save 2 sets into both my bars. All I wanted to do is load one of my saved sets into bar2 only. lol the chat messages totally confused me by asking me to swap.
So I better start naming my sets with "bar1" and "bar2" in their names so that I can remember which bar they are for.

I suppose it makes sense the addon can only save the bar when it is the active/loaded one. But does the set have to be bound to the bar? Couldn't the addon load any set into the current bar?

thanks for clearing things up
Goetion

I love the outfitter and have used it a lot. As of the last few days, I haven't been able to equip a set. Saving has also rarely worked. There were a few times initially when this bug started for me where I waited out an equip and it took effect after like 2 minutes.

I don't believe I had any any other mods at the time the problem arose, but it is possible that some mod was updated by minion.

ok so u are saying i can have saved both bars in on file?

i set up bar1 with 6 skills, do the same for bar 2, then i name it "MySetup", save it, switch bar, save it with the same name, and both bars should now load if i load the setup?

lol if thats how it is supposed to work i think i have the same problem like the other guy ^^

atm i need to have 2 saves for 1 setup.. 1 for bar 1 and 1 for bar 2...
was always like this for me and i really thought it was supposed to be like that
but hey even if it doesnt work like intended it is not that much of a hassle.. i just have twice as much saves as neccessary and need a few clicks more

anyways.. i need to get some sleep.. trying to reinstall tomorrow.. thx for your awesome addons so far

You misunderstood me.

Set up your skills on bar 1 and bar 2.
Type the name into the box: ABC123, for example.
Click Save
Swap bars
Click Save

When you later Load, it'll say in Chat to change bars.
You change bars, it should resume and load the "other" bar.

If you start the load on bar 1 it'll load bar 1's skills, prompt you to swap, when you swap it should load bar 2's skills.

If you start the load on bar 2 it'll load bar 2's skills, prompt you to swap, when you swap it should load bar 1's skills.

^^^ if it's not doing that for you, then it's not behaving properly.

lol u seem confused for sure.

of course the sets are bound to the specific bars and for me they always have been.

so lets say u have "bar 1" and u set your 6 skills then u name it and save it those skills are bound to bar 1
it even says so in the chat window, something like: Weapon Set 1 saved
or if you bind "bar 2" it says: Weapon Set 2 saved...

so something bound to "bar 1" CAN NOT be loaded into "bar 2" and vice versa
if you try to do it the chat even says, that the "wrong" bar is active and that you should swap the bars to finish the process...

like i said, for me it never worked in any other way... its exactly doing what it is supposed to do: binding a set of skills to a specific quickslot bar

edit: seriously wykkyd? for me its working that way.. i even get messages in the chat if i try to load a set i saved in BAR 1 into BAR 2.. the chat tells me to swap bars to load the set.... sets saved in bar 1 can only be loaded in bar 1 and sets saved in bar 2 can only be loaded in bar 2... thats not intentional?

atm i do it like this:

setting bar 1: skill 1 2 3 4 5 6 -> name it AOE GRINDING DMG-SET (Bar1) -> save it

than i switch bars and -

setting bar 2: skill 7 8 9 10 11 12 -> name it AOE GRINDING SUPPORT-SET (BAR2) -> save it

if i then want to do some aoe grinding i open my skill window, switch to weapon 1 and load BAR1-set
then i switch to weapon 2 and load BAR2-set... and everything works fine.. except wall of elements doesnt swap properly...

somehow i think hes trying to have both bars saved in 1 "file" somthing like

setting bar 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 --> name it ABC --> save it

then he swaps to bar 2 and:

setting bar 2 : 7 8 9 10 11 12 --> also naming it ABC --> save it

and thinks he now can load both bars with only 1 "save file" while in fact he is overwriting hes old setting for bar 1 because he used the same name to save it....

like i said do it like this:

swap to bar 1, set your skills. name it ABC (BAR1) and save it
swap to bar 2, set your skills, name it ABC (BAR2) and save it

now u have 2 saves.. one for bar 1 and one for bar 2. if u want to load them switch to the specific bar and load the set....

No, none of that is normal behavior. I have not seen that happen, nor am I able to re-create the issue at this time. I'm working on addons right now to re-write them all. You can TRY re-installing a fresh copy of Framework & Outfitter (including deleting your SavedVariables/mhFramework and mhOutfitter files) and see if that fixes it. Otherwise wait for the new version and hopefully that will resolve your issues. Sorry :/

My problem isn't saving a set. My problem is loading a saved set. I tried your suggestion anyhow, it didn't solve the "loading into actionbar2" problem. But it did reveal something odd or intentional, I dunno.

By chance I started with actionbar2. I proceed to modify it and give it a name "abc" to save. Then I did exactly the steps you suggested - save, swap, save. Now I'm with actionbar1 and I tried to load "abc".
It wouldn't. I didn't even hear the sound effects of changing skills.
Does this mean when saving, the sets are "associated" to the bar you saved it on?
In this case, it won't even load into actionbar1. Which has always been working for me.
Because this time I saved it into/on actionbar2 ?

When I swap back to actionbar2 and load "abc". It still didn't load but that is my original problem anyway.
Does any of this makes sense? Sry, I'm confused obviously.

thanks for any advice

If you save an equipment set with two identical weapons one in each set slot (for example my heal set uses two identical staves of sanctuary) it behaves strangely.

The relevant lua section is:

What happens is if you have no weapons equipped it works fine. If you have any other weapons equipped when you load the gear set, it will only replace one of the weapons but not the other.

You have to save, swap weaponsets, save. It can't read a bar that isn't active. That is a limitation of the game client's default API.

I could have sworn this addon works on both acitonbar 1 and 2 when I first installed days ago
Today I can't seem to get it to load skills into actionbar2
I dowloaded latest and updated, still acitonbar2 does not load
I can see in chat, "Weapon 2 loaded, Swap Bars to Continue..."
So I swap bar and it loads into actionbar 1. not actionbar 2.

I have v1.4.15.1

any advice?
thanks

This is great!! It will be good if you make the same thing but with builds.

i'm still having problems with all my destruction staff skills

if you have duplicate items you are able to save the Item Set but when you try and equip it, it will only equip one of the items. I speak of for instance when dual wielding weapons and you have 2 of the same item.
