Auras: Unknown Shapeshift Type: XX

[Kobiesan]

I created some new stances and there's a few glaring problems with them.

Firstly, whenever entering or leaving one of the new stances I receive this error "Auras: Unknown Shapeshift Type: XX" with XX being my stances ID in SpellShapeShiftforms.dbc. I have a custom patch that has my stance spells and the shapeshiftforms patched into it.

Secondly, I can only put abilities on the action bars when I'm in one of my first four stances. The fifth stance and the ones after that; I am unable to put abilities on the action bars.

Thirdly, on those same action bars buttons when in the non-working stances there are numbers indicating the hotkey for the action bar. Those action bar buttons are also darker than the rest.



Can anyone help?

So I've solved most of my problems except the problem with not being able to put abilities on my 5th-12th stances action bars. I think it has something to do with framexml but I've looked and haven't found anything.

Also, If I'm in a stance with a certain weapon then unequip the weapon, I get dropped from the stance. But when you reequip the weapon the stance does not light up to indicate that it's usable.

Best guess is that the game simply runs out of actionbars. You can maybe test this by restricting the actionbar number for your shapeshift forms to 0-4 in SpellShapeshiftForm, like Blizzard seems to do.

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/ActionSlot

As of 1.11, World of Warcraft allows 120 Action Slot IDs, numbered from 1-120.

As of WoW 2.3, action slots 121-132 exist but are not settable: they refer to the default UI's main action bar while possessing a target

Druid Bonus Action Bars

ActionBar page 1 Cat Form: slots 73 to 84
ActionBar page 1 Prowl: slots 85 to 96
ActionBar page 1 Bear Form: slots 97 to 108
ActionBar page 1 Moonkin Form: slots 109 to 120

You can see that druids with their 4 extra actionbar pages use up the very last actionslot that's settable. So why can't you set the actionbar number to 5-9 in SpellShapeshiftForm? For some reason those actionbar IDs start at the 7th actionbar, so with 0 you get the first actionbar (or no change?), and with 1-3 you get the 7-10th actionbars.

I don't immediately know if it's possible to add more, or what you have to change.

There must be a way to add more action bar slots. I feel like there is supposed to be an actionbarframe.lua but there is only actionbarframe.xml

[Kobiesan]

Well actionbarframe.xml is connected to actionbar.lua but I can't find anything useful in there.

I'll pay $10 paypal for a fix.
