About MarkBar

This is an adjustable toolbar with raid target icon buttons; quicker and easier than the standard UI target popup menu. It also allows to set icons descriptions (ie sheep, sap,...) and party member assignments in order to dump that info in the chat.

Quick usage:

Select a target and click on a mark button to set it over the target.
Select a partner and right click to assign the mark.
Press the bubble button to announce the mark to the party/raid.

Current Features

Raid Marking Toolbar.
Customizable scale and alpha (transparency) from settings panel.
Slash command for mark within macros. /markbar mark 0-8
Auto show/hide toolbar when join or leaving a party/raid (could be disabled).
Establish marks to your partners (select party/raid member and right click a toolbar mark).
Custom marks description/assignment for party/raid announcement (ie: Blue square->sheep for Blackmage)

Help

Click right lower corner to drag and reposition the toolbar.
Commands:
- /markbar -> toogles show/hide toolbar.
- /markbar auto n (n=0,1) -> 0=disables autoshow on join/leave party, 1=enables.
- /markbar reset -> resets to default settings.
- /markbar alpha n (n=0-1) -> sets toolbar transparency.
- /markbar scale n (n=0-1) -> sets toolbar scale.
- /markbar mark n (n=0-8) -> sets mark to current target (useful for use within macros).

Upcoming Features (sooner or later)

Profiles with different marks descriptions.
Allow other party members to put marks.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

any chance of using the command {skull} {cross} etc so that when you announce it shows "icon: action >> playername" instead of "iconname: action >> playername"

One small request. Could Markbar have a button for 'clear mark' ?

For further developed and in most cases rewritten version check out RaidMobMarker.

In most cases rewritten? OMG! The main idea and core functions too? ;-)
A little mention of the original author use to be something nice...

I already said in the comments that i took your code as a base to implement
other functions and don't replicate same thing. Look around, there are much
more Addons which have icon-bar. Its not exciting.

My main idea is to record the marks in the first raid and auto mark in the
further, independet on players that are in there. For the first record i need
a bar and your project fits for my thing perfectly.
What do you mean about "core functions"? Like GroupMode() or GetUnitIdByName(name)?
Yes, i use them unchanged. Most other things like player database and opponent database
(that i had to create) , changable order of icons etc. forces me to rewrite many functions and implement new functions too.

You done a great job with this addon and your code is nice to read but its just a dome
for my project. I have no problem to mention your name in RaidMobMarker. Please contact
me to precise a place and a wording.

I'd like to thank you for this. I find it one of the most convenient mods I've got when I'm leading or marking, and I hope you do continue to add features to it. If there's any way in which I can contribute, please let me know.

Thanks for the report, FrederikNS. The /markbar mark # command should work now, but I found no reason for not showing the bar. Try with the new version.

I Just installed your addon, but for some reason the bar isn't visible, I've tried the /markbar command but to no effect, the slash commands seems to react though, but the bar is still gone
When i use the /markbar mark # command it just says "invalid icon number", eventhough it's within the 0-8 range.
Hope to have this problem resolved, since i would love a bar for the raid marks

So whats the news with this wicked little addon? I wait in hopes that it will still be worked on. I enjoy it very much and it makes things much easier than macros imho.

As far as I know, there's no unique identifier for a mob, only his generic name (except bosses). May be I can store this name but if there are more than 1 mob with the same name it could target the wrong one...Let me think about it. EDIT: I've just remember ... Targeting functions are restricted to Secure Templates (blizzard's UI) frames so may be is not posible to target from an addon...I will try anyway.
An update will come as soon as I finish the settings frame.

i dunno if it doesn't do this now, but the ability to select the marked mob during a fight by maybe holding a key and clicking the particular icon would be nice.
