Talented adds spec templates to the Talent UI.

Talented 3

Talented is getting a large update for wow 4. It will no longer replace the default UI but add a new Tab to it, with most of the previous functionality present.

There is an alpha release available on wowace. It's still missing some major parts, but it should give you an idea of the new interface.

Talented_Loader is no longer needed (and in fact will create problems if left installed, so remove it at once).

Update feature List

Create and view templates for all classes and all pet types.
Set a specific template as a target, and see it when you're spending your next talent point on level up.
Apply complete templates with a single click, after a talent wipe.
Hunters can view the spec of their pet and apply templates to them.
Share your current build with other, or any template you've made.
Import templates directly from the Blizzard Talent calculator, wowhead or wowdb.
Export templates as URL to wowhead, wowdb or the Blizzard Talent calculator.
Allow pet templates to be imported from and export to wowhead pet calculator.
Inspection of other characters will also inspect their alternate spec, if they have one.
A macro command /talented apply <template> allows to automatically apply a template based on its name.

This is something that I already thought about (along with showing an icon based on the dominant spec). It is somewhat difficult to do, though, because templates are kept in game as compressed strings most of the time. I would need to decompress the strings to get this information, which is time and memory consuming.

I'm not giving up on it, yet. I just need to find a way to extract this information easily and rapidly from a compressed string.

The encoding used by Talented is similar (it shares the same code) to wowheads. Changing the encoding is not as easy, as I like and want to keep this compact encoding.

But the feature you're requesting will be available in the next version of Talented (to be released when 3.2 hits the live realms).

Hi,

If you use Talented to support different play-styles and specs that you find yourself switching between a lot you might like an addon I've written called 'SetTheory'. It allows you to define different sets of addon configurations and switch between them with one button press saving you time and making those times when you enter an arena or boss fight with the wrong UI/spec/gear/trinket/etc a thing of the past.

You can find out more about it here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/settheory.aspx

Thanks,
Dan.

I use a Mac and if I open Talented, then go to windowed mode, then open up Talented again (window or fullscreen), the arrows/paths get replaced with black rectangular areas (see link for JPEG). I dunno if this is just an issue with my comp or what. can anyone else duplicate this or has/have had this problem?

This issue is not specific to Mac users. I had report of this on PC as well and I have been able to reproduce it.

I do not think the bug is in Talented itself, but in the wow client.

I use a texture format and a feature of texture rendering that is not used by any default art, so this bug do not occur when using the default UI.

Also I could stop using that feature, it would require to change the textures that I use and that means quite a bit of work, for an issue that is really of minimal importance.

You can "fix" the texture by forcing an UI reload through the "/console reloadui" macro.

Could you elaborate a bit more about that issue ? Have you tried different names ? Talented will not allow you to rename a template to an existing template name, so you need to make sure that you use a unique name.

If you still can't rename, please open a ticket describing your issue. Make sure to attach you SavedVariables file.

Look at the "target template" feature, that will allow you to view the template while you are setting your points. The option is available when you're looking at the template in the Action menu. A screenshot just above here will show you how it looks when you're looking at your spec.

Hey, I love this addon, after tinkering around with low lvl toons, I was wondering how hard it would be for a request like this. I know it can auto-fill in talents (which is great and I love it at 80, especially after last big patch wiped all talents). But on my toons under lvl 80 I fill out how I want their talents to look, then I swap back and forth between the template and their current spec. 'cuase I want my talents done a certain way and wont' fill up some of the lower lvl ones until I get the higher ones that I want first. Like for instance, I might want 10 points on the first of talents, but I might not want them until I get my 76-80 talent points to drop into them.

But basically my question is this, could you possibly add a button to switch between current spec and "wanted" spec or something like that so I don't have to click templates, scroll down to my class, and pick the right spec from the list?

I understand if you don't want to, but i figured if it were easy enough to implement I'm sure others would use it, too. Thanks for reading.

I forgot to mention, something that might (might not, idk anything about programming) would to make the "swap" button switch between current spec and 'last template viewed' or something like that. Again, just a suggestion.

Thanks for fixing the pet talents! (in 2.2 beta) They appear to display properly and the 20 point templates are applied successfully when having 16/20 points spent. Only thing I noticed is it appears to still not allow manual allocation of the additional 4 points you get from a BM spec, but that's really minor and not of much importance.

Nice work! :)
