AlphaGear Lives  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 5.00

UPDATE: I don't play ESO any more, love the game, might again in the future, but as of right now this is not being maintained. Others have asked if they can take over and I hope they do!

I do not take credit for the creation of this mod, all credit goes to AlphaLemming who originally created and maintained AlphaGear up until June 2016, at which point it stopped receiving updates for 2 consecutive API updates.

That being said, I am a professional programmer and am going to try to do more than just update the API version number going forward. Please submit bug reports to this AddOn page and I will try to fix them, and I may even be able to implement new features at some point if I have the time.

What Is AlphaGear?

AlphaGear lets you create up to 16 sets of gear that may be equipped with a single button press. You can assign each set to a different key on your keyboard for easy swapping when out of combat. This is not the same as regular in-game weapon swapping as it allows you to swap both of your weapons, both of their skill bars and your entire armor set at the same time! Fantastic!

I just started playing ESO in November of 2016, and out of all the AddOns I downloaded AlphaGear was my favorite by far, despite being nearly half a year outdated. I've tried other gear set solutions and in my limited experience they're just not as good for a variety of reasons, but I'm not going to start bad talking other mod authors by getting specific

Usage Tips
  • Bind your number pad to gear sets if you aren't using it already because they are not considered the same as your number row keys by ESO
  • Create 2 (or more) sets with the same equipment, but different skill bars to create situational skill setups (solo, group, etc...)
  • Create a radial menu using Big Picture mode with your Steam or Dual Shock 4 controller (Steam beta) to make swapping gear sets a breeze! Combine this with my first tip and set your radial menu buttons to num1, num2, etc...
Found a Bug?

Tell me! I'm going to try to keep this thing working going forward for as long as I play ESO, if only because I intend to use it extensively! I will take all bug reports seriously and attempt to fix them, though it may take a while for me to figure them out since I didn't write this (or any other...) AddOn.

Version 5.00 Notes
  • Updated the APIVersion number so that ESO would no longer consider it an "out of date" AddOn
  • Started adding comments to the functions created by AlphaLemming
  • No functional changes from version 4.08, report some bugs and I'll get to fixing them

You mean the buttons where you can switch to the Gear Number XX?
Try to deactivate and then reload, should save it then ^^

Overload

Thank you for updating this addon.
Please, try to make an overload bar. It's the best addon for build swaps. But without this bar it ruins some builds for sorcerers.

Really like the style of this addon, but 16 sets? Especially for bars, that's not much at all. 8 builds with no variations.

Would love to see this in a more dynamic fashion with unlimited sets, but even increasing the amount would go a long way.

The addon also can't find items from the bank while it is open, which is pretty meh when using this for multiple characters with shared gear profiles or just in general so I don't have to carry a million sets in my bags, which is something I'm not going back to.

Bank

Is there a way or could there be a way to let alphagear pull/put into the bank? Like if I'm at a bank when I change gears put the old stuff in the bank, and if I'm at a bank when I switch check the bank for the new sets equipment?

Would it be possible to show what Sets are using the current Equip/skills while mouseover on the number of those?

Here is an Example of what i mean:

Would be nice to filter out what u are really using and what u are not using...

Well I tried to use this, and for a while nothing would happen when I initiated a gear swap, and I was about to hit submit on this post complaining about it (ie asking for help), but then on a whim I tried removing all my gear then using the gear-set commands and it worked.. Hmmm!

Guess you have to start from naked for it to gather it's variables and stuf.. oops..

Upon further testing it appears that if you are in battle stance sometimes it doesnt swap (so have to press x to get out of stance an then it swaps auto), sometimes it does though.. maybe it's when swapping to a bow gearset that it hiccups

But all in all it's going to be a rather useful tool

Weapons not Swapping

So i spent the day playing with addons. Discovered an issue using alpha gear that existed in almost every addon of its kind and had to try SWAPS and Wykkds aswell only to have the same fate. When swapping between Sets with Staffs and Sets with Dual Weild all weapons began shuffling randomly.

The only addon that worked was the most outdated, Dressing room with an update another released for one tamriel. (something about all IDs shuffling by one and two dk abilities swapped). Works like a charm, i can stress the addon and faceroll the keybindings and it never makes a mistake! Yay!

I don't get it.

Sorry, I guess I'm a noob here, but I don't get it.

I can open the AlphaGear window. I can assign items to the gear slots at the top. I can assign skills to the loadout bars on the side. And I can assign keybinds to gear sets...

But none of this actually does anything in game when I try push the keybinds. No gear or skills are actually swapped.

I'm missing something, but I don't know what. Is there a tutorial or something for us less intelligent people?

Thanks

***EDIT***
The problem was, the buttons to link gear sets and skill sets to the Keybinds were not present. After exiting the game entirely (rather than logging to character select), and signing back in, the buttons had reappeared.

So the problem seems to have fixed itself and I think you can ignore this message.

So to recap: Can confirm, am a noob.

in combat usage pls

I was just wondering if there is a way or if anyone knows how to enable this to work when in combat? for me it's not that useful or practical if it doesn't work in combat. I assume it was done that way on purpose for balancing reasons, but i still want to try and see if there's a way around it.

What you are asking for/trying to do is CHEAT! There is a reason you cannot swap things IN COMBAT, why you cannot make changes IN COMBAT, it's to prevent this type of cheating; ZOS will BAN YOU if they catch you using any system to circumvent these designed safeguards.

AlphaGear is immensely useful outside of combat because it allows you to create loadouts, armor sets, etc... that you swap PRIOR to combat. I have different loadouts/gear setups for various content, and that is exactly what it was designed for.

don't worry. since i remember, it was NEVER possible to change item pieces IN COMBAT. you just CAN'T do it. and i don't remember any exploit about that. as long there is no exploit/bug from zos side, you can't do that.

Lightbulb Maybe Switching Costumes~

I dont know if its just me but I have a set that just looks awful but I need it for the performance and function so I was thinking It would be awesome if you could put in an option to wear a specific costume on from the collections when a specific set is active~ Love the addon~ <3 Wish you the best~
