Equipment Sets

This project has become inactive.

This project is inactive and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The author may have abandoned it, or it may have outlived its usefulness.

Before

Equipment Sets is an addon that allows the easy management of multiple sets of equipped gear. Sets are created by simply equipping items normally, and switched using a simple dropdown.

For example, if a tank player keeps two sets of gear: one focused on strength with a great weapon, and another one focused on toughness with a shield, Equipment Sets will allow the player to switch between the two sets with just one button click.

This is achieved by creating "equipment set slots", which look like the tactics button, except they are green instead of gold. Equipment Sets then "registers" each item that the user equips on the character with the currently active slot (i.e the one chosen in the dropdown). When the user picks a new slot, Equipment Sets simply equips those items again, and from there on any new items equipped will be registered with the new slot number.

Equipment Sets will also remember the tactics slot and morale abilities that were last active in each equipment set slot, and will switch to those tactics and morale abilities when the equipment set slot changes. This behaviour can be turned off.

Equipment Sets cannot cast abilities when the active slot changes, since that is disallowed by Mythic. However Equipment Sets can be configured to change the slot when certain abilities are cast. These are referred to as "trigger abilities". The configuration is done with a simple drag-and-drop interface, similar to the action bars. Examples of abilities that one may want to use as trigger abilities are stances, The Chosen's curses and the Swordmaster's blade enchants.

Equipment Sets also provides a "flip" button. This is a button that switches between equipment set slots 1 and 2 only, and can be dragged to the action bar. This is useful in cases where only two equipment sets are used, or when only two are frequently used. This feature can also be combined with the trigger abilities.

The combination of all of these features enables simple, one click, all-in-one like functionality that completely changes the character's setup mode in an instant. Using Equipment Sets the player can quickly respond to changing circumstances in RvR or PvE alike, change from defensive to offensive mode and charge in in a split of a second, and so on.

Notes

Please read the notes carefully, as they contain a lot of important details and information.

TODO list

  • Handle identical items with different talismans correctly.
  • Handle items that can be equipped in either hand correctly.
  • Code cleanup and refactoring. No behaviour changes, just my programming OCDs. :-)
  • Naming the sets.
  • Confirmation of saved slots (?).
  • Ability to view the contents of equipment set slots (?).
  • Statically link tactics and morale abilities to equipment set slots from the options window (?).
