AlphaGear 3  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.0.0
by: sir-celsius [More]
Alphagear 2 seems to be unmaintained. This is a working version for update 7.0.5 (Blackwood).

I do not intend on maintaining this in the long run, and the changes I made are very minor compared to the versions 1 and 2 by AlphaLemming and mesota respectively, so all credit goes to them and the original contributors!

----------
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION BE mesota
---------

Anything you need to manage your skills and gear.
I've adopted this great AddOn from AlphaLemming and changed the name to "AlphaGear 2" for the version that I maintain.

AlphaGear 2 lets you create up to 20 profiles each with 16 builds that may be activated with a single button press. Each build consists of
7 pieces of armor
3 pieces of jewelry
2 weapon bars including poison
2 skill bars
1 outfit or
1 style (outfit, costume, pet etc. using AlphaStyle integration) (optional)
1 FCO Item Saver gear icon (optional)
1 Champion Point Set using Champion Points Slots add-on (optional)

Please backup your AlphaGear settings prior update!


Now available: Integrations!
Champion Points Slots - Manage your Champion Point Settings
AlphaStyle - Manage your Style
FCO Itemsaver - Manage your Inventory


Breaking Changes
If you use poison, you'd have to reassign the right type of poison from your bag.


Version 6.12.0
ESO 6.1 (Stonethorn)
New: Flashing swap weapon button, if skills need an update
New: responsive UI

Dependencies
This addon requires the following libraries:
LibAddonMenu2

Known Issues
Updating a version prior 6.x with minion doesn't seem to work. Workaround: Delete the .../AddOns/AlphaGear directory and reinstall AlphaGear 2. Don't delete anything from .../SavedVariables. AlphaGear 2 will reuse your already created sets.

Alpha gear 2 is still maintained and you should not start any new spinoff without permission of the current authors,or at least wait several weeks for their answer. And even then you should not use the original name of the addon...

Btw in the alpha gear 2 comments you'll find a fix for the errors with blackwood. Just download this version and your ag2 will work like before.

This was not an answer to you Fly but to the releaser " sir-celsius "!
Please read and follow sir-celsius, kind of a best practice.

I'm not the official maintainer of AG2, I just had fixed it to run again for the moment (in the addon's comments).
You need to talk to mesota and the other team members of the addon first please and ask them for auth to publish a similar addon with their addon's name.
As Alpha Gear 2 has not enabled "patches" in it's esoui settigs I assume the dev does not like others to add patches or similar addons with similar names...
So you should definately ask Dolby and/or Cairenn to move this here to the discontinued & outdated section so that Minion is not finding it anymore.

If you want to take over an addon you need to ask for permission first and wait several weeks for an answer of the team/dev.
If you want to officialy take over and they agree they can add you to the team.
That's how it should be done, that was all I'm asking you for.

Just releasing an addon with a new version/numbr at the end is not a good idea as longs as many players use the older one, and the older one is still maintained. I'm not sure mesota and the others are still around but I bet you can try to contact them via PM. Wait for 2-3 weeks and if noone answers maybe contact the site admin Dolby to add you to the team of Alpha Gear2, so you are able to officially work on and update it.
But at best an answer of the current team members should be waited for.

If you do not want to take over, do release a patch if enabled at the addon. As it is not enabled, use the comments section of the addon like I did.
But do not copy whole addons, rename them a bit and release them again! This messes up Minion as you can see already from the comments and also makes ppl go mad if they delete the old one and all of sudden you do not maintain the new one anymore but the old one returns -> their SavedVariables are gone or messed up etc.

Hi Baertram, thanks for your info. I already did the (line 1690) patch suggested in AlphaGear2. It seems to work.
I guess you are right what you said, and I wouldn't install "AlphaGear3" without knowing what changes had been made and some more installation and general info. That's why I asked my questions.

I have to admit that maybe I was a bit too expectant about the fact that there's a new version with -maybe?- new features. (An easy option to delete/reset old profiles would be a nice feature)
I wasn't aware that AG3 is so to say "unauthorized".

So sorry about it! I will stay with AG2, as long as it will be maintained and developed.

Sorry for the confusion everyone, I just wanted to share my.patch as stated in the description, didn't expect it would be a problem. I'll remove it.

Edit: I can't seem a to find a way to delete so I'll leave it disabled for now and let an a mod remove it if necessary.

If the maintainers want to incorporate my 3 line patch be my guest, like I said my intention was to share it.

The repository of the original author Mesota is available on GitHub.

Add-ons are open source software.
But you should fork from it at the very least if you want to make a variant.
And if possible, you may consider making a pull request to the original author's repository for the patches needed to make it compatible with Blackwood.

Need to reset stored data

I just came back to the game after years. One of my toons had old presets saved in alpha gear. It's bugged out so that I can't clear his skill bars in the alpha gear menu. Is there a way to reset the old data?

Preferably I'd like to reset that one character because I have other toons which are set up fine.


EDIT:
Turns out there was a dead zone right in the middle of my screen (above the character's head). If the menu was in the dead zone I couldn't click those elements. Strange, like an invisible UI element was blocking it. Moving the menu to the left allowed me to click on everything and clear it out.

How that AddOn is still maintained? There is no update since October.

I think the guy here is just trying to provide a service, not everyone is skilled at coding to fix stuff themselves.

Baertram is one of the best skilled developers here and has been maintaining AlphaGear by providing patches that can be downloaded and installed. I suggest we listen to his advice until the original can be sorted out with a developer. It is not good to have different forks of the same addon and can sometimes appear that credit is being taken away from the original developer.

Where are these updates? I did not see any by Baertram anywhere on Minion's site. D'OH nevermind LOL

DELETE THIS DAMN THING

Can someone delete this addon? I'm sick and tired of having it over-write the legitimate version of Alphagear via Minion.

Yeah, it's back - Minion is trying to overwrite the legitimate Alphagear. I've had it with this bull****. If some ****face mental midget wants to hijack an addon, and the original author isn't going to do anyting about it, I'm ****ing done with Alphagear. Don't need it that bad.

To the dip**** that created this one: Don't use someone else's addon name. ****ing idiot.
