This is a mod to make swapping equipment easier through popout slot menus, equip slot buttons, gear sets and automated swaps.

ItemRackFu plugin by Gnarfoz:

ButtonFacade plugin by Romracer:

__ New in 2.23 __
* Set equips while casting will wait until casting ends. (For now this is just sets. Swapping invidual slots from a menu isn't delayed yet.)
* Buff/Mount and Stance events now have an option "Except in PVP instances" to ignore that event in BGs or arenas
* Added new option "Disable Alt+Click" to disable toggling auto queue on buttons
* Druid Tree of Life event fixed
__ New in 2.22 __
* Menus will stay open less (MouseIsOver checks for visibility also)
* /itemrack toggle accepts a second set to toggle between them (vs unequipping if one set given)
* Fixed taint issue with minimap button shine effect
* "Equip on choosing set" renamed "Equip in options" and equips individual slots as well as sets
* Added new option "Character sheet menus" to disable menus on mouseover of character sheet slots
__ New in 2.21 __
* Added new option "Equip on choosing set" to equip sets when choosing them in set tab
* Added new option "Set menu wrap" and slider to choose when to wrap the menu
* Behavior of Alt+left click vs right click of minimap button separated
* Added new option "Show minimap tooltips" to explain the crowded clicks (defaulted "On")
* Gear icon("Events running") on minimap button should appear regardless if you use a set button
* Mounted event will no longer equip while on a flight from a flight master
* Added Swimming, Druid Flight Form and Druid Swift Flight Form events
* Fixed nil error on set tooltip after deleting currently equipped set
__ New in 2.2 __
* Events!

__ Note for users of ItemRack prior to 2.2 __
* 2.2 adds a new file that won't be recognized if you update while in game. Make sure you exit the game before installing this update.

__ Notes for ItemRack 1.9x users __
* All your sets and events from 1.9x will need to be rebuilt. The changes are too drastic to carry over.
* Before installing this update, you can delete the old ItemRack folder to get rid of 1.9 files no longer used, but it's not necessary.
* With the return of events, ItemRack 2.2+ becomes the only "official" version that will be supported if a patch breaks it. 1.9x will no longer be supported (not like there was a lot anyway). If anyone wants to carry on a fork of 1.9x you're more than welcome.

Some benefits to 2.x over 1.9x:
* The bar is now separated into buttons, independantly moveable and dockable to each other.
* Sets are built without equipping items, allowing changes even to banked sets.
* A TrinketMenu-like Auto Queue for every slot. (This mod can do everything TrinketMenu does, there's no need to run ItemRack and TrinketMenu together)
* The GUI is load on demand so you only have to suffer my XML OCD at need.
* Events are a lot easier to create for the most common types. No scripting required for most events (but you can continue to script them if you want).
* No taint, better performance, less memory than 1.9x.

__ Quick Start Guide __

Minimap button:
* Right-click the minimap button to open options or create sets
* Left-click the minimap button to choose a set
* Shift-click the minimap button to unequip the last set equipped
* Alt-click the minimap button to toggle events on/off

Dockable buttons:
* Alt+click slots on the character sheet to create/remove buttons
* Alt+click yourself in the character sheet to create/remove a set button
* Alt+click the created buttons to toggle their auto-queue status
* Shift+drag buttons to break them apart if they're docked to each other
* Drag the menu's border around to dock it to a different side of buttons
* Right-click the menu's border to rotate the menu
* Size, alpha, spacing, etc are in options

Creating/equipping sets:
* You create sets in the Sets tab after right-clicking the minimap button
* Select slots for the set, choose a name and icon and click Save
* Once a set is saved, there are several ways to equip it:
1. Left-click the minimap button and choose the set
2. Mouseover a set button you've created (Alt+click yourself in character sheet)
3. Use a key binding you define in the set ("Bind Key" button)
4. In macros with /itemrack equip setname
5. In events or scripts that use EquipSet("setname")

Popout menus:
* Click an item or set in a menu to equip it
* Shift+click a set in a menu to unequip it
* Alt+click an item in a menu to hide/unhide it
* Hold Alt as you mouseover a slot to show all hidden items

While at a bank:
* Items/sets in the bank have a blue border.
* Selecting an item or set that's in the bank will pull it from the bank to your bags.
* Selecting an item or set that's not in the bank will attempt to put it all into the bank.

__ Slash Commands __

/itemrack : list the most common slash commands
/itemrack opt : summon the options GUI
/itemrack equip setname : equips a set
/itemrack reset : resets buttons
/itemrack reset everything : wipes all settings, sets and events
/itemrack lock/unlock : locks and unlocks the buttons
/itemrack toggle set name[, second set name] : equips/unequips "set name" (or swaps between two sets if a second set given)

__ Macro Functions __

EquipSet("setname") -- equips "setname"
UnequipSet("setname") -- unequips "setname"
ToggleSet("setname") -- toggles (equips then unequips) "setname"
IsSetEquipped("setname") -- returns true if "setname" is equipped

In the unlikely event that another mod (or default UI in the future) uses these function names, you can use their long version ItemRack.EquipSet(), ItemRack.UnequipSet(), etc. This mod only commandeers the shortened names if they appear to be unused.

__ Events __

2.2 (re)introduces events. These are scripts to automatically equip and unequip gear as things happen in game.

To use an event:
1. In the 'Sets' tab, create or make sure you have a set you'd like to equip when the event happens.
2. In the 'Events' tab, click the red ? icon beside the event you want to use.
3. Choose the set for this event.
4. Ensure the event has a check beside it.

As events are enabled, a separate process watches for those events and equips (and unequips if chosen) as they happen.

If you want to create or edit an event, there are four types of events:
* Buff: These events equip gear as you gain buffs. ie, Evocation, Drinking and being on a mount.
* Stance: These events equip gear when you change stances or forms. ie, Battle Stance, Moonkin Form, Shadowform
* Zone: These events equip gear when you're in one of a list of zones. ie, the PVP event includes all arena and BG maps.
* Script: For those with lua knowledge, you can create your own event based on a game event. A couple examples are in the default events.

When dealing with events, it's good to keep some things in mind:
* You'll get the most predictable behavior by having sets that don't overlap. If you're a warrior with a Tanking, DPS and PVP set, consider not including weapons in those sets. If you decide to make an event to swap in a 2H when you go into Berserker Stance and a 1h+shield when you go into Defensive Stance, you won't step on the toes of events that swap in PVP gear in a BG/arena or a tuxedo in a city.
* A gold gear icon on the minimap button (and on the sets button if you've created one) means that events are enabled. If you decide you want to temporarily shut down all events, Alt+click the minimap button or the sets button. (You can disable events in options also)
* For non-English users, you might want to edit the events that have English text within them. I try to keep it locale-independant when possible (ie, warrior and most druid stances use the numbers instead of names), but you'll never enter "Stormwind City" on a deDE client for the city event.
* Script Events do not have a "set" defined to them like other events do. They need to EquipSet("setname") explicitly. Its set button will always be the macro keys icon.
* Advanced users of 1.9x may notice the lack of a delay option in scripted events. I've decided to pull this down into the scripting system to streamline the event process. For now, you can use ItemRack.CreateTimer and ItemRack.StartTimer defined in ItemRack.lua.

__ Future plans __

* Move back to an associated set icon for script events
* Possible option of flags for less "persistent" events (only equip if specific state changes)
* Tighter integration/use of EquipItemByName for unique slots
* Moving options to the default UI's new option panels
* Dynamically reordering gear swaps to handle unique-equipped gems in different sets
* Supporting the existing ItemRackFu and TitanFu plugins if possible
* Native ButtonFacade support
* Possibly adding a Combat Log event type
* A set button to sit to the left of weapon slot since the character model isn't an intuitive "button"
* Moving slot key bindings back to default key binding interface

    New version looks nice, but I have a major problem with it.
    I do not like that the pullout menu on the character screen pops up every time you go over an item. I know you can disable it in the Config, but why not go back to the old way of holding ALT to see the pullout menu? Or can you give us that option? Much appreciated.

  • July 20, 2008, 08:17AM (4 days, 16 hours ago)

    The new feature to not interrupt spell casting works fine if you are swapping sets from the menu, but doesn't work when a set swaps automatically when it's triggered by an event. It doesn't interrupt the spell anymore, but it also doesn't complete the swap when the spell is finished.

    i dont find an event for duid flying form
    will you add it ?
    Regards

  • July 19, 2008, 03:48AM (5 days, 20 hours ago)

    Any possibility of some way to extract the set list from 1.9? Even just a plain text dump would make it a lot easier...

  • July 18, 2008, 03:05PM (6 days, 9 hours ago)

    Thank you so much for further developing this add on.

    I might miss a feature, maybe it is still in there but I rly don't know.

    Could you pls reintroduce the Item_Used/Ready mechanic?

    In the old Version there was an internal ItemRack Script Trigger...

    And pls recheck the notify function, if an item is rdy soon ther was a message too.
    For example in order to equip it in time due of the 30 sec trinket equip cooldown.

    ["Insignia"] = {
    ["trigger"] = "ITEMRACK_NOTIFY",
    ["delay"] = 0,
    ["script"] = "if arg1==\"Insignia of the Alliance\" or arg1==\"Insignia of the Horde\" then EquipSet() end --[[Equips a set when the Insignia of the Alliance/Horde finishes cooldown.]]",
    },
    ["Insignia Used"] = {
    ["trigger"] = "ITEMRACK_ITEMUSED",
    ["delay"] = 0.5,
    ["script"] = "if arg1==\"Insignia of the Alliance\" or arg1==\"Insignia of the Horde\" then EquipSet() end --[[Equips a set when the Insignia of the Alliance/Horde has been used.]]",
    },

    I have lost the button around the mini map with this newest version. I believe there is a conflict between Titan Panel and Item Rack but not sure.

  • July 16, 2008, 05:08PM (1 week, 1 day ago)

    I'm currently having problems with the drinking/Innervate (made one)/Evocation events, where my weapons would keep equipping/unequipping (reverting to previously equipped weapon) whenever a random buff/debuff is removed on me. Any way to fix this?

  • July 7, 2008, 06:53PM (2 weeks, 3 days ago)

    Question: how do I stop the pullout menu from showing every time i mouse over an item in my character sheet? Id rather not have this pullout. BTW, other than this, I love the new itemrack. Also, what is the little star over the icon for the set I have equipped

  • July 3, 2008, 11:27PM (3 weeks ago)

    I love the new version thus far. :)

    I've got a question however. In the version prior there was a feature in it that I'm having an issue figuring out how to turn on in this one. Back in the old version, I'd select a different set to equip once I got out of combat. Once I did, it would automatically change it for me.. And such a feature can be pretty helpful to have for all the SR we need to equip in silly t6 content. But now it doesn't seem to change for me anymore and I'm stuck trying to switch out during the few seconds I'm out of combat during wave trash, ect. I miss it.

    Is there a way to still do this?

  • July 2, 2008, 10:33PM (3 weeks, 1 day ago)

    I love this mod. Much better with the new changes too. Would it be possible to set it up so that equipping a quest item (ala the goggles for the multiphase recorder quest in Nagrand) would automatically override the item slot for sets? This would prevent having to enable/disable events every time you do a quest that requires you to wear something, especially when the item has a cooldown.

    Also, I play a resto druid, and am having issues with the tree of life form not changing trinkets and idols properly. I have built a "raid" set, but everytime i pop back into caster/normal mode, it changes to what it needs to be, but wont go back to what I've assigned in tree mode. I've tried the default tree of life form, and also setting up a separate event for stance 5. Neither one respond unless I force the set change via hotkey or minimap button.

    Thanks,
    Shiftersnipe

    I have 2.21, but where is the "Low Mana" event??

  • July 2, 2008, 12:49AM (3 weeks, 1 day ago)

    re saving current gear: go to the options window and you'll see the initially chosen gear around the window is the gear you're currently wearing. All you really need to do is enter a new name and save, tho you may want to change which slots are saved (ie, if "dual wield" is your current set, and you want to save your current trinkets, then unselect weapons and select trinkets--they should be the ones you have on now)

    It's slightly different than the old version, but updating a set when you get an upgrade is a little simpler this way. Equip the set you want to upgrade, swap in the new item, then when you go to set tab you can just click Save.

    re selecting an icon: Not at the moment sorry. It's an interesting idea tho.

    re itemRack (Fan Posting): As I mention in the too-long description, anyone is welcome to carry on 1.9 as a fork. So whether it continues or not is up to them. If it was a 2.x version, then yeah this one will likely supercede it unless they created a fork from that.

    re fubar: Gnarfoz put together a nicer one and made a direct download. You can get it here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info9162

  • July 2, 2008, 02:36AM (3 weeks, 1 day ago)

    It is a nice one, same as the one that is on WAU. But no option to turn the set name or set icon off and on. Hopefully its an option he can add at some point.

  • July 1, 2008, 05:55PM (3 weeks, 2 days ago)

    Any chance for a Fubar plug-in? The one on WoWAce shows what the set name is and icon, and no option to turn either off. I know what the set names are, I just wanna see the icon. And WoWAce either isnt sending the email for me to validate my account or something is wrong.

    Edit~Sorry just seen what you said about a Fubar plug-in. Other than that I love the new ItemRack, keep up the great work.

  • July 1, 2008, 11:24AM (3 weeks, 2 days ago)

    Item Rack (Fan Posting)has it been replaced by this addon? Becuase when i try to get there is a window appearing and says "This project and its downloads are currently unavailable."

  • July 1, 2008, 05:50AM (3 weeks, 2 days ago)

    Love the new version, it feels much faster!

    Two questions:
    - Is it possible to "save" your currently equipped gear as a set?
    - Selecting an icon for a new set takes a very long time. Is it possible to somehow click an existing icon in the game and use that?

  • June 30, 2008, 03:06AM (3 weeks, 3 days ago)

    yeah when you equip something it will remember what it's replacing. Unequip will revert to what you had on before. Note that it doesn't remember on an unequip so you'll generally only be able to unequip once per equip, if that made sense.

    So say you wear a set "naked", then shift+click the minimap button to unequip it will put back on what you had before.

  • June 29, 2008, 08:46PM (3 weeks, 4 days ago)

    ok. could you define unequip. Does that mean it switches back to the previous set or does it do something else?

  • June 28, 2008, 03:55PM (3 weeks, 5 days ago)

    re altering icon of a scripted event: The set to equip is defined within the script. I've decided to go back to an "associated" set like 1.9 had, not sure if it'll make it for this weekend's update. It's been a busy week so it'll probably be minor stuff.

    re not zone: If you check "Unequip when leaving zone" below the list, and the list is just Nagrand, it will unequip the goggles when leaving Nagrand.

    re flight forms: Those will be in next update. Sorry for missing those.

    re no longer a vertical option: The bar is now dockable buttons. The buttons can be split apart and arranged diagonally or in any configuration you want. While the buttons are unlocked, shift+drag a button or piece of bar and dock it below/above an existing button to dock it vertically. (You can drag off a piece of the bar to another part of the screen too to have multiple "bars")

    re itemrackfu: those are in the works. An existing ItemRackFu has been made by Imaram here: http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=5357.0

    re single row or column: hmm could've sworn that option was there but it's not. I'll add it in.

    re missing minimap button: enter '/itemrack opt' and make sure 'Show Minimap button' is checked. If you still don't see it, chances are it's buried under another button.
