Roles
Version: 1.9
by: Zormus [More]
A convenient menu for changing roles, equipment, and wardrobe.

Usage

Left-click to open/close menu
Middle-click to open configuration window
Right-click to move menu

Features

Two equipment sets can be associated with each role, for example PvE and PvP.
  • Uses the game's built-in /saveequip sets (20 available).
  • Replacement items allow you to reuse an existing set with minor modifications, such as a synergy crystal or trinket.
Two wardrobe sets can be associated with each role.

Custom macro text can be associated with each role. This can include any macro commands supported by the game, as well as commands for other addons.

If KaruulAlert is installed, you can use drop-down lists to easily associate an alert set and subset with each role.

You can assign custom names to equipment and wardrobe sets for easy identification.

Interface

Menu uses role names you've assigned in the soul tree window.

Role icons (tank/heal/damage/support) are automatically updated.

Menu can be customized in the following ways:
  • Sort roles by slot, name, or type
  • Extend menu up/down or left/right
  • Adjust spacing between menu items
  • Adjust menu width to fit custom names
  • Specify inactive fade level
  • Place menu anywhere on screen
  • Show/hide background
Current role is displayed to show you which role is active at a glance.

You can choose which roles to include in the menu, which lets you exclude test specs and infrequently used role slots.

Commands

/roles (open configuration window)
/roles toggle (open/close menu)
/roles lock (lock/unlock menu location)
/roles reset (reset menu location to center)

Localization

Special thanks to the following translators:
  • Céres@Brisesol (French)
  • FriedDuck (German)
  • Poddel (German)
  • Randgruppe84 (German)
  • XopHeT (Russian)
To add/update/review translations, please visit the localization page.

Replacement items are meant to be *minor* changes to an existing equipment set, such as a different synergy crystal or trinket. Hence only 4 items are allowed at the moment.

If you need to modify a set by more than 4 items, you might as well save a whole new equipment set. Now that the game allows for 20 equipment sets, that shouldn't be a problem. Just /saveequip # to save a new equipment set and select it from the drop-down list.

So, to summarize:
  • Use /saveequip # to make different equipment sets for your roles, these will include every slot
  • If you want to use an existing set but with minor changes to a few slots, list them as replacement items
I could potentially allow for more replacement items but I probably won't go higher than 5 or 6 since it is more efficient to /loadequip a full set if the sets differ by that many items. How many did you need?

Edit: Just noticed you are the same person that asked about localization before. I'm happy to report that the changes for localization support are almost finished (planning to finish them this weekend). Check here again in a few days for info on how to submit translations.

Version 1.4

Version 1.4 includes the following:

- A new settings option for menu height. It defaults to the original height and can be changed via a slider in the SETTINGS tab.

- A bug fix for the role select list in the config window not updating with changed role names and new role slots. If you edit your role names in the soul tree window and/or buy a new role slot from the trainer, the config window will now show the correct role list the next time you open it (if config is already open, just close and reopen).

Version 1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 prevents the LFG tool from overwriting your saved role icons with your group-assigned role. This is done by prohibiting changes to role icons when you are inside an instance group of 5 or fewer. Role icons will continue to update normally upon respecs and point reallocation when you are outside an instance, not in a group, or in a group of 6 or more.

This addon does not manipulate gear directly. It simply creates and executes macros using the game's built-in /role, /loadequip, and /equip commands.

It is intended to be lightweight and simple, a convenient way for people to free up some macro slots and action bar slots.

While I can see the usefulness of what you are suggesting, it is unfortunately outside the intended scope for the Roles addon. If you really need to use wardrobe slots as storage, I believe a user named Merxion is currently working on bringing Outfitter up-to-date.

Important Fix Released - 1.2.1

I finally tracked down the cause of the addon error that would sometimes prevent the addon from loading. The bug happened occasionally and was difficult to reproduce reliably, but I'm happy to report that it is now fixed.

To all users - please update to version 1.2.1 as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

When you switch to a role, it will first load the full equipment set that you selected, and then it swaps in the replacement items.

The game will display an error message for the /equip command if it can't find the item in your bags. So if the item is already equipped, and you try to equip it again, it will show this message.

To prevent this message from appearing, make sure the items you put in the "Replacement items" section are different from the items in the selected equipment set.

Version 1.2 Released

Version 1.2 is now available, and includes the following:

Role change notification messages are now sent to any chat tab that has been configured to receive system messages, instead of just the General tab. This allows them to be seen by those who like to switch to a less cluttered chat tab in dungeons/raids/warfronts. Role change notifications are also now color-coded based on role type.

Opening the configuration window will now automatically select the current role in the drop-down list. With the middle-click functionality added in the previous release, I found myself expecting the config window to have the current role selected when I open it, so I added this in.

Version 1.2 also includes some bug fixes and tweaks, and all of the new functionality planned for now. I will be working on adding localization support next. In the meantime, any feedback, bug reports, and feature requests are always welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: localization, I'd like to add that for the addon. It might take a while to get everything set up, but when I have files ready for translation, I'll post them.

In version 1.1, released today, you are able to open the configuration window by middle-clicking the menu button.

Note for users of version 1.0.2 or earlier:
If you experienced an addon error when resetting a role while running version 1.0.2 or earlier, it is possible for the saved icons of some roles to become incorrect. To fix the icons, switch to the role in question and it will automatically update to the correct one. Updating your addon to the latest version will prevent the problem from happening again.
