Well, it should be working... You may want to try dragging an action around while holding your bound button down. Sometimes (depending on what addons/visuals you have going) you can't see the button grid until you're holding something. The middle of the bar should have the word "Geist" floating behind it too.

ButtonFacade may be found here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/buttonfacade.aspx I would actually like to get it added back in, but was having some problems getting it to stick while I was working on it. Rather than have a version throwing errors, I released one that is missing a feature.

What is ButtonFacade, and would i miss it when its gone? :)

Copy/paste answer from Curse from someone asking (basically) the same thing. The new method, which I will probably add a keybind for at some point, is to type "/script GeistHeader:Show()" in the edit box. This will open Geist wherever it was last opened at normally. You can close it again with a "GeistHeader:Hide()" instead of show, or by hitting the normal button for it.

Is there still an option to fix Geist on screen? I've found the option to call Geist below the mouse curser but no option to fix visible on this position. Stop pressing the revealing-button makes Geist disapear. In some situations I like to have geist visible for a longer time.

Wow, that's a great tip - thanks :)

You actually probably don't need the keybindings if you want to set up something for a macro. Do the following command, where NAME is the name of your macro: /script SetBindingMacro("F1","NAME") That'll set the F1 key to do whatever macro name you put in.

Now we just need the keybinds back so I can press F1 and launch my cool macro ;)

Yeah I'm still here. There's a fully functional (as far as I know) version over at WoWInterface that works fine in the beta, and should work in the PTR as well. I just didn't want to upload my beta all over the place while I was working on it.

Ok, and now it doesn't work at all on the test server (version 3.0). When you start up you get an error ("Couldn't find inheritance node") Hope you are still around, how can we play without this addon :)

Plz make new version. I cannot play without Geist =). If someone hasn't tried it yet - it's superb, now when it's out of date im getting only half plesure playing WOW :D

I posted on this over on WoWI, but the short version is I'll see if I can find it. I haven't gotten any taint from Geist in some time, so it may take me a little while to find out exactly what's going on.

Well loosing buttons (ie, it only shows two rows and the others are not there - read load ui doesn't fix this - but dragging a new spell from the spell book out does, but its a bit annoying) And its always generated taint in the log. Like ("An action was blocked in combat because of taint from Geist - GeistButton24:Hide()") It's always left taint in the

I've not noticed any taint from Geist in quite some time on my own system. Do you have a taint.log to indicate if the taint is originating in Geist, or merely preventing it from functioning due to another addon introducing taint into the system?

Doing any work on the taint? I keep "losing" buttons presumably because of taint.

Greetings, sweet mod, thanks for keeing it updated! heres a few vids where its in full effect; version 3.0 and 4.0 are nice. http://blastedlands.spaces.live.com/default.aspx And I have a feature request... I think it would rule if I could bind two keys and have 2 bars. For example, if I hit 'E' I would get a diamond of buttons.. then if I let go and hit 'R' I would get a different diamond of different buttons... would ownz.

Would like to see an option to be able to change Geist Strata. When I hit my Toggle key, I want Geist to be on top... not hiding behind unit frames, PVP goal frames etc. I tried to go through the code and changed strata to TOOLTIP, but this didnt seem to have any effect. Any suggestions on what I should change would be appreciated. Thanks.

well it might be worth to try. The reasoning behind my suggestion is that if i only have to press the key once to show the buttons, i can than use the mouse with the Geist buttons and keyboard shortcuts for the others, but if i have to keep pressing a button to keep the Geist shown it impairs the use of that hand :) Otherwise a great addon that i'm planning to start using regularly

It would be possible. It would probably be pretty simple too, but I haven't taken the time to look into it.

i wonder if it would be possible to change the function so that you don't have to keep the button pressed? So that when you press the Geist key the buttons appear at the mouse or disappear where-ever they are

I find it odd that there should be any other kind of taint - if you just use system functions and nothing is blocked then surely its not taint just function use. And yes, it does result in action blocked.(It's also hard to troubleshoot other addons when yours takes up 90% of the log *g*) - but it takes time, i know that.

It's something I'll be looking into. It seems to work fine, and I've never noticed it actually causing a problem anywhere, but I want to get it fixed anyway. As Slouken said: "Remember, taint by itself is fine, it only becomes a problem if it results in a 'blocked' message."

Actually it is generating a ton of taint in the taint log

Well, they were introducing bugs and fixing them again, so lets hope all is fine now :)

Hannesz: Thanks for the file! It'll be in the next release. Gorramit: Thanks for the report. I didn't even think to test the slash commands. I'll have to look into that. EDIT: Either one of the more recent patches fixed it, or it was a conflict with something else. It's working fine for me.

Geist appears to have some problems on the test server (of 2.3) doing /geist causes wow to write "Type /help for a listing of a few commands" So I couldn't set up the bind button.

I uploaded the file: http://www.die-net.de/wowui/geist.localization.de.rar I hope I was able to help somehow ;)

Any and all translations would be great. It is possible to add buttons, but it would require code changes. Also, your English is as good or better than a lot of English speakers, so no apologies need there. :)

Cidrei, do you still need a German translation? And is it somehow possible to add more buttons to 'Geist'? Or does this require further changes in the code? [Sorry for my bad English, I come from Germany ;)]

Cidrei could you add a sort of "/geist reload" option? There is some sort of bug (perhaps taint) which sometimes makes me lose the 2 top rows of buttons. Ie, I only see 3 rows of buttons. And /console reloadui does not bring them back. I have to log out and log back in to see them again.

Yeah, that was a poor design decision on my part. It was based on the idea that some people might like less than 25 buttons, so I had them all set up in a pattern. I've considered changing it, but then people would have to move all their buttons around. The "/geist guide" option lets you see what's what, but it requires a reload to take effect.

I couldn't get any of the key bindings to work, then I finally found out that the buttons start from the middle and spiral out. :-)

Ok, no idea what that means, but can't you tell us how we should phrase our complain on the blizzard boards then, and we'll bug them for the change :) Also, I don't need the two button banks on the screen at the same time. So can't you just reuse the same 25 id's just with different content when you actually show the buttons? Or would that be too slow.

I get this request from time to time, and realistically, it's not hard. Where you run into problems is coming up with the button ids to use. For a class like warriors or druids, it presents a major problem, as many many ids are already in use by their forms/stances.

Glad to see you are still with us Cidrei :) I'm still using it aswell ;) Though I'm running out of buttons - it would be nice with a second bank, or someway to popup a another bank from the main button bank :)

Hello, this is a request for a variation on this mod. Maybe you remember the mod i am talking about, it was called Sprocket. It allowed for the same thing as this did, brought up a set of buttons on a keypress, but it allowed to you mouse in the direction of a button, and activate it when the keybind was released. For instance, i could set PW:Sheild to the top position, activate the keybind, flip my mouse up, and release the keybind and it would cast PW:Sheild on my target. It allowed for 8 positions, a adjustable radius, as well as configurable extra menus, so you could activate them through a menu. If you would possibly be willing to attempt a modification of your mod to this idea, i would greatly appreciate it, but i understand if you do not wish to attempt this. If you need any more information, drop me a mail at xboxdude1@charter.net thanks

Yeah, I didn't test this on the PTRs, and it shows. I'll have to get it working right again. (Especially since I use it too! :P) EDIT: New version up that fixes the bug. No other changes. (Well, the toc.)

Update, seems it is a display problem - the "real" button is still underneath? Perhaps its more of their taint crap?

On the test server: Sometimes all buttons are displaying the same skill...
