FeralSkills (Public Beta 3) ---------------------------- FeralSkills combines up to 24 buttons into 4, for druids. FeralSkills will work for all druids, not just Feral spec'd druids. This is ideal for mapping to mouse buttons and other devices, where available buttons are not unlimited, but you still want to be able to do every thing. By combining all of your commonly used skills into a few buttons, you're free to do other things like concentrate on movement. Some skills can be cast at the same time as others, in the same button press even, which FeralSKills will take full advantage of. FeralSkills is *highly* customizable, so you will be able to ensure that every time you press a button, it does exactly which skill you intend it to.
FeralSkills provides 4 actions, which do the following:
Shift: Bear Form Cat Form Aquatic Form Travel Form Mount + [any instant of your choice]
Installation - Copy the FeralSkills folder to your WoW/Interface/Addons/ directory like any other addon, and make sure that it is enabled on the character select screen.
How to Use - Type '/fs' in game to bring up the settings dialog. Here you can extensively FeralSkills, to do whatever you want it to. In the bottom left corner of this dialog is a 'Create Macros' button. Click that button to create a macro for each of the 4 skills in your character-specific macros. *You will only need to do this ONCE*, not every time you change the settings. Open your Macros dialog ('/macro') and switch to the character-specific macros tab. Drag the 4 created macros from there to your action bars, wherever you want. These action buttons will display the cooldown and energy/rage requirements of the basic skill they are named after. Lastly, place all actions that you want FeralSkills to use on an actionbar, anywhere, even hidden. ie, scroll up to page 6 where you never put any actions, and toss them all there. NOTE: In order for FeralSkills to function, you will need to turn on Enhanced Tooltips in the Interface Options dialog. This setting is on by default, so most people will have it on already. If you have it off, an error will be displayed, telling you to turn it on.
Keybindings - Alternatively, you may use key bindings instead of macro action buttons. There will be a Feral Skills heading in the standard keybindings dialog, with the 4 skills under it.
Version History --------------- Public Beta 4 - ~Localization. FeralSkills is not experimentally localized into French and German. I have no way to test this though, so I'd appreciate any feedback regarding how this works for you. To clarify, the text in the settings dialog is not localized yet (that's a less important task, for a later beta), but it should at least function properly on foreign installations of WoW. If you are able to provide translations for Korean, please e-mail me at cnervig@hotmail.com. ~Bug fixed with Pounce - previously, pounce would not work if you didn't define a modifier key for use with it. Now if you check the box for Pounce, but don't check the box for a modifier key, it will pounce every time instead of Ravage. ~Bug fixed with Growl - previously, stunned mobs, and mobs not in combat would be considered aggroed on someone else, and growl would fire at them, while the setting for 'Growl only when I don't have aggro' was checked. Now growl will fire when you have that box checked, and the target is attacking anyone besides you. ~Bug fixed with Faerie Fire (Feral) - Hopefully this should solve the issues with Faerie Fire (Feral) that most people were having. If you still have problems with it, and also use the addon CastOptions (part of Cosmos), please upgrade to the latest CastOptions. If you still have problems with it, and/or don't use cosmos/CastOptions, please e-mail me at cnervig@hotmail.com. ~Modified error messages to be a bit clearer, and provide the solution to fix them. (ie, turn on Enhanced Tooltips!) ~Bug fixed with Ravage - won't tell you to put it on your bar if you're under level 32. In the rare case that you just turned 32 and haven't trained yet... go train!... Or put up with the errors until you do. ~Misc Bugs that I can't recall specifically.
Public Beta 3 - ~Fixed a problem with casting Faerie Fire. ~Fixed a bug with properly saving the value for Max Target Health for Ferocious Bite. ~Added some debug code so that if an error happens, it'll dump a bunch of junk to the chat window which I'll understand. If you do happen to hit an error, please screenshot it and mail it to cnervig@hotmail.com. ~Added functionality for casting Enrage or Prowl if you attempt to shift to cat/bear form and are already in that form. This is off by default, but may be turned on in the Shift+ settings panel. ~Added some functionality to sabotauge DruidBar when it feels like being really stupid. (To the author of DruidBar: Attempting to identify an action as being a shapeshift based only on icon was a *really* dumb idea, especially when it's turned on by default, and there's no visible way for the user to turn it off.)
Public Beta 2 - ~Now finds shapeshift form IDs by name, rather than just assuming bear=1, aqua=2, cat=3, travel=4. This should solve the problems encountered by druids that skipped forms (ie, didn't do the quest for aquatic form) ~No longer casts Faerie Fire (Feral) while prowling, from Claw or Shred. ~Demoralizing Roar works! ~Now looks up the proper macro icon ID by name, rather than just assuming everyone has the same icons that I do. (still don't know why people have different icon indexes...) ~Added a note in-game in chat reminding users to put skills on a hotbar somewhere, whenever it tries to use a skill and can't find it. ~Fixed a problem with properly detecting debuffs on the target (may have caused Rakes or FFs when not intended)
