I think it's unfair to keep moving the homepage for this addon. I know a lot of people update via favorites and how can yo have a favorite if the addon has 3 homes. I'm offering to add manavortex and Elsy to join the project here and fix update in one spot. This is a great idea for an addon, made better by Elsy and better functionality by me. Now lets give it a home! Why my site? Honestly I am here at ESOUI 10x a day - I can offer support much faster. I have yet to even hear back from Elsy yet - the one on her page isn't even in a folder! Anyway that was my rationale. -d PS go ahead and favorite this one because it's not going anywhere again. Last edited by dopiate : 02/05/16 at 08:38 PM.

BigMons Forum posts: 38 File comments: 178 Uploads: 0	This doesn't appear to be working properly on my system. For one, I downloaded the version from this page, which should be 1.1. The archive is named "SwitchBar_1.1.zip", but ingame it shows version 0.9. The option for "Lock Position?" seems to be working in the opposite manner than I expect. When I have Lock Position set to ON, the icon is movable. If I set the option to OFF, the icon is locked in place. The other, more serious issue that I have is that the icon disappears immediately when I leave combat even with "Show Always?" set to ON. I tried OFF too and it still disappears when I leave combat. The icon reappears when I enter combat again. The main reason that I wanted to try the addon is so I could see if it would remind me to switch bars when handing in a quest (out of combat) so the XP will go toward bar 2. I keep wasting tens of thousands of XP on skills that are already maxed and it's seriously pissing me off. Anyway, I use an addon called Stow It Auto-Sheather that sheaths my weapon when I leave combat. I don't know if that's related or not. Here is a pic of how I have it configured. http://i.imgur.com/v6GveiZ.png EDIT: I disabled Stow It and it still only shows the icons when I'm in combat. The icon shows initially after a UI reload when I'm out of combat, but once I enter combat the first time and then leave combat, the icon disappears. I've also noticed that binding a key, number pad 9 in my example, doesn't seem to work properly. When I leave combat and the icon hides, I can press NUM9 to get the icon to show again. However, if I press NUM9 again, the icon stays onscreen and doesn't rehide. The Keybinding is labeled "Show/Hide SwitchBar" so I assumed that each time I press the bind, the icon would toggle between shown/hidden. Last edited by BigMons : 02/06/16 at 02:56 AM.

I downloaded the addon from this link circled in red:
----------------------------------------

The archive was named SwitchBar_1.1.zip (now 1.1a) which indicates that it should be 1.1 and indicates that I did indeed download the correct file. I stated the archive name in my first post. I didn't follow the wrong link. If you look at the ingame screenshot in my previous post, it shows 0.9 in the settings menu, hence the confusion. I thought it was possible that you may have updated the addon but mistakenly uploaded a broken or previous version. Other people have done this; no big deal. This is the only time I have ever downloaded or used this addon, so I know it's not a left over from a previous download of the same addon or a wrong version on my end. Also, in the SwitchBarMenu.lua file for 1.1 it did indeed show version 0.9. I see that you have since uploaded a version 1.1a with an updated SwitchBarMenu.lua file that now correctly shows version 1.1.0.

Version 1.1 SwitchBarMenu.lua

Code:

    local panelData = {
		type = "panel",
		name = "SwitchBar",
		--displayName = ZO_HIGHLIGHT_TEXT:Colorize(name),
		author = "manavortex (updated by dOpiate)",
		version = "0.9",

Version 1.1a SwitchBarMenu.lua

Code:

    local panelData = {
		type = "panel",
		name = "SwitchBar",
		--displayName = ZO_HIGHLIGHT_TEXT:Colorize(name),
		author = "manavortex (updated by dOpiate)",
		version = "1.1.0",

I will redownload the addon in version 1.1a and try that, but I don't expect that it will work because Notepad++ comparison says the SwitchBar.lua files are the same/unchanged. It looks like the only change was the version number in the menu lua.

Regarding reloadui, I mentioned in my initial post that I did reload the ui. I actually did numerous reloads when I was attempting to troubleshoot the issue to help you sort out any issues. I eventually gave up and just commented out the combat state parts of the code to force it to stay visible at all times. Since I'm not a coder or author, these changes along with my troubleshooting required numerous ui reloads to get it working. I now get a ui error when I first load the ui due to my lack of knowledge, but once I dismiss that error, the addon stays onscreen always, regardless of combat state. That works for me. I now have a working addon, minus an error message that I can probably fix. I'd like to get it working for others too though if anyone else has issues.

Overall, I'm just trying to help get the addon working properly. It could very well be some conflict with another addon on my system; I don't know. The only one that I could think of that would conflict was Stow It, which is why I mentioned it. I disabled it and reloaded the ui, but it didn't resolve the issue. I like the addon concept, and I appreciate the work that addon authors do in creating, maintaining, and adding feature requests to addons. That's why I spent like an hour trying to troubleshoot this addon and looking over the code to try to understand it and see if I saw anything glaring (to me anyway) that would cause my issue. I also tried to provide thorough feedback to assist versus something like "not working, please fix". You don't seem receptive to my feedback though. You mention that I have a 99% chance that I followed the wrong link, even when I posted the name of the archive that I downloaded

You also say

yet you updated the addon from 1.1 to 1.1a to "fix" the version number in the menu lua file. I'm not sure if you think I'm bashing the addon or your work or something. I simply installed an addon that is labeled as [Fixed and working], but on my system, it doesn't work. So I thought I'd give feedback to try to help get it sorted out. It could be that I misunderstand your comments too, and you aren't actually taking offense to my feedback. If so, I apologize. I sincerely have no ill will toward anyone here. I just want to help in whatever way that I can.

BigMons Forum posts: 38 File comments: 178 Uploads: 0	I commented out two lines (in red) to get the icon to stay on my screen at all times regardless of combat state. This doesn't cause me any UI errors either. These appear to be the same two lines that you mentioned in the comments for one of the other versions of this addon. Thanks for the info from the other addon comments. Code: --function SwitchBar.ToggleCombat(eventCode, enteringCombat) function SwitchBar.OnPlayerCombatState(EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, inCombat) --SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(not inCombat) --SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(not inCombat) I do have one other addon that toggles my helmet based on combat state. No idea if it conflicts or not. I don't use the auto toggle ability of that addon though. I toggle my helmet manually with a UI button or slash command provided by that addon. It is Helmet Toggle by CaptainBlagbird.

Includes some fixes and settings panel changes that should make it easier to use and look a whole ton cleaner.

Is this not the full function you have?

Code:

function SwitchBar.OnPlayerCombatState(EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, inCombat)
	if(not SwitchBar.showAlwaysOption) then
		SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(not inCombat)
		SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(not inCombat)
	else
		SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(inCombat)
		SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(inCombat)
	end
end

SwitchBar.showAlwaysOption is the "always on option" and it works prefect for me - maybe you do have a conflict?

Sorry I wish I knew more - the is definitely a collaborative addon.

BigMons Forum posts: 38 File comments: 178 Uploads: 0	I had the same code that you quoted (BLUE) in addition to the code that I commented out (GREEN). It was only necessary to comment out the part that I quoted before in order to get it working the way that I needed, so that's why I only posted those lines. Sorry for any confusion. Here is everything that was in the 1.1a version of the lua that I downloaded regarding combat afaik. Remember, I'm not a coder, so it's possible I missed something. Code: --function SwitchBar.ToggleCombat(eventCode, enteringCombat) function SwitchBar.OnPlayerCombatState(EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, inCombat) if(not SwitchBar.showAlwaysOption) then SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(not inCombat) SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(not inCombat) else SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(inCombat) SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(inCombat) end end --function SwitchBar.ToggleCombat(eventCode, enteringCombat) function SwitchBar.OnPlayerCombatState(EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, inCombat) SwitchBarMain:SetHidden(not inCombat) SwitchBar.GetControl(nil):SetHidden(not inCombat) end The new version, 1.1.1 r7, appears to be working fine! I've tested SHOW ALWAYS both ON and OFF and it seems to work correctly in relation to my combat state. LOCK POSITION appears to function correctly whether it is ON or OFF, and the hotkey is working to show/hide the icon as well. All good for me at least. Thanks! Now hopefully I can remember to switch @%&$ bars before I turn in a quest.

I can not replicate your issue :-( ... so I don't even know where to begin

maybe you have a conflict with another addon? maybe try to re-download it.

Here is my screen shot done just now..

I was not aware there was a prerequisite installation - would installing that addon fix it? Would it be possible to add this important information to the info page?

Looking up this LibAddonMenu, I found this in the description:

If you came here because a message in chat told you so,
then you are using an outdated addon that relies on an older version of LAM-2.0 which might not be compatible with ESO update 6.
But no need to panic. There are a few things you can do in order to get it to work again:
Update your addons. Maybe the author already fixed the problem.
Try to find out which addon uses the outdated version and ask for help in the comment section.
Ask for help in our comment section.
Replace LibAddonMenu-2.0 in all your addons with the newest version.

So I'm not sure if whatever's missing is supposed to come with the addon, or if I'm supposed to be told to download something additional?
