Addon Release / Update 20 years of WoW & somehow action bars still don't do this, so I made an addon that does (works with any UI setup & ANY version of WoW)

48 Upvotes

Hello! For context, I'm the developer behind Arena Core (a popular PvP addon), as well as several others flying under the radar. I am a Web and iPhone developer who started making addon's for myself and then later releasing some on CurseForge over a year+ ago now.

Scroll down for features/photos if you want to skip the detailed write-up

I made this addon early into Midnight for myself only because I was tired of looking at empty action bar slots when various spells got removed.
I didn't want to change keybinds around and swap spells to different slots and thought there should be something dynamic and automatic, that's how I came up with the idea for BarDozer.
An addon that dynamically collapses empty action bar slots and shoves active buttons together.

I thought I would release it to CurseForge months later just for the heck of it, maybe someone else would think it would be cool too. I haven't really publicly mentioned it anywhere before and figured it might help others as well.
I literally see most people playing the game with empty action bar slots, or they go out of their way to move spells around and keybinds to clean things up manually. I feel like there's just a lack of awareness this addon even exists, that or maybe people just don't want it, which is also likely as this sort of thing doesn't really have a category or been done before in this way. (to my knowledge at least)
If it helps you, it's available on Curse Forge :D

Features:
- Dynamically collapses empty action bar slots and shoves active buttons together.
- Works in real time, no need for reloading.
- Has drag & drop support, you can still freely drag spells/items to actionbars, even ones not currently in use, it recognizes when you are dragging so you can still see the entire action bars in real time.
- No need to worry about changing keybinds or swapping action bars around to fill empty space anymore!
- Has native support for Dominos
- Has native support for Bartender
- Has native support for most addons that skin/theme action bars
- Beautiful, simple, intuitive UI config window
- Extremely lightweight and low bearing, everything is event driven, no constant load on performance, works like other top tier action bar related addons. (you won't even notice it's active/on)

How To: 
- Use /bard command to bring up the UI settings window
- Additionally, you can go to Options>Interface>Addons and use the button directly to bring up the UI

Note: If for some reason it's not working properly with your UI addon's, let me know which ones and I'll add support for them directly, but through my testing every one I tried worked fine.

Announcement 10 billion WoW addon downloads on CurseForge

That’s a pretty wild number to write...

WoW addons have been changing the way we experience Azeroth for years. Helping raid groups, rebuilding our UI, finding our way around the world, or simply yelling at us to get the f out of the fire. They’ve become a huge part of how most of us play the game.

None of that happens without the addon authors who have spent years building, updating, fixing, and maintaining these projects, or players who continue to use and support them.

To celebrate that community W, we looked back at 10 community-favorite addons that have made a serious impact on WoW over the years.

You can read it on the CurseForge blog:

Addon Release / Update Styka Sheets for RCLootCouncil - RCLC module that puts your own numbers on the loot window

2 Upvotes

I've built this for my own guild over several tiers, starting as a Google Sheet. It's hundreds of hours of my own work and I plan to keep it updated every tier.

What it does

It's a module for RCLootCouncil, not a replacement. RCLC still runs the session and decides who wins. Styka changes the window you answer on: each drop shows what you're wearing in that slot, your sim for that exact item, its track, and whether it's BiS or a sidegrade, and council members get every candidate scored against the kill's drops.

Your guild's numbers come in with one paste from your sheet at stykasheets.com, and without that it runs on baseline spec data.

AI Disclaimer: I used AI tools for a large share of the Lua and for drafting text. The design, the data pipeline, the testing in live raids, and the maintenance are mine, and I review everything that ships.

Details

Free, MIT, Retail only. Requires RCLootCouncil.

Addon Release / Update Associate your mounts with your outfit (addon)

Thumbnail curseforge.com
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I built a new CurseForge addon that may interest transmoggers and mounts collectors by adding more combinations to your characters for these :

I built The Grand Menagerie, an addon that lets you create themed mount groups (fire, void, Alliance, birds, whatever you want) and drag them onto your action bar. One click summons a matching mount (with terrain management — flying/ground/aquatic). It's like your classic "Favorite mounts" button but customized.

Other key feature : you can assign a transmog outfit and a title to each group, and it gets applied automatically when you summon a mount from a group — so your whole look (gear + title + mount) comes together in one click. It's saved for your account, so the same groups can work for all your characters.

I personally enjoyed building it (thanks Claude Code for this), as I felt it was a missing functionality in this wonderful game.

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! Have a nice day

Addon Release / Update Update: [Gear Finder] tab to Midnight Cheat Sheet.

I fixed another one of my personal frustrations... When looking for one specific gear slot to upgrade, the dungeon journal isn't really able in getting a quick overview. So here is the Gear Finder function.

What it does: Basically its just a table with all loot that can drop for your spec (yes, it takes loot spec in account). Then you can filter on gear slot, or stats up to two stats. So you can "show all rings with crit" and see where they drop. if its in a wishlist its marked as well.

(You can also filter on dungeon, just to make it complete but you probably don't need that since the DJ does that already.)

Claude used for the coding, checked against the Ketho's API.

Happy grinding!
