Range Help
This is the original Range Help fixed for 2.0.1 lua changes using the FixAddons program. Tested and seems to work fine. (Also since removed 2 bugs)
Type /rh to get to options.

Automatic bar swapping is dead post 2.0.1. Many people ask for it and the answer is always the same. To swap bars you will have to press a key and macros are the best way to solve this now.
Hey Elsia, I was wondering if there was a way to have a single macro that changed from /changeactionbar 1 and /changeactionbar 2 and vice versa, all in one macro. I ask this because I want to use my middle mouse button to switch the two bars with one button. Is this possible? Maybe some kinda detection, if this bar 1 is active switch to bar 2 and vise versa. Thanks in advance, bye
Oreoleo: Use this macro: /swapactionbar 1 2
so can anyone tell me why it does this? and how to fix it
Hi thanks so much for updating this mod! I recently have a problem where I can't see the addon at all.. I can bring up the help menu but all of a sudden I cannot see if something is in range/melee/or deadzone. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Why does this addon work perfectly for a few hours then it doesnt work at all like the bars wont move when i get in meele range?
Did the same thing to me. .. now I read it wasnt suppose to be switching at all .. on its on.. it was for me.. then it stopped.
i reverted back to 0.3 and its ok. i don't like the bar swapping anyway
i tried, but it's still the same.
have a problem with v 0.3, don't work automatic swith bar in combat between a melee and range bar's.
@dark-elf: click download now. 0.3 is there already, just the list update is borked...
@Mahndoo: Delete RangeHelp.* in your WTF/AccoutName/SavedVariables folder. This returns all to default.
Big thx wof this addon for hunter's wait 0.3 version
i'm having trouble moving and resizing the UI, both options are checked i can't "grab" any of the edges to resize or move the box. Also, it looks like the top border of the window is now below the bottom border of the window. i think this was caused by accident when i initially tried to adjust the window. is there a way to completely reset the UI?
To clarify: Bar switching works as before, but only out of combat. It will not work as befire in combat. There is no way to recover this functionality in combat since the 2.0.1 API/macro changes and this is intended by Blizz.
If Bartender or other bar switching addons do not switch bars out of combat there is a specific issue still with be bar addon, but make sure to test it out of combat.
If out of combat switching only, is widely useful is a separate matter. Currently it is kind of useful in the sense that the bar will switch back to ranged after a battle has ended which does give a keypress free way to get to a default state I suppose.
So I take it the bar switching non-availability isn't really a conflict with Bartender3 (or other bar mods) then? But instead it is a Blizzard API issue where its not possible to switch bars with this mod, no matter what else you are using (as its designed currently)?
Not totally sure that's what is being said below, Elisa & Terras, so asking here to make sure :).
Thx for the fast response :D but it seem to work now finally so i had downloaded it now ... :D
@chusina: I'll see what I can do. I distinctly tried to avoid doing multiple web-sites but this one seems to be down on occasion. Likely unofficial wow ui, so check there later tonight.
@Terras: I'm on EU realms hence cannot post on US wow forums. I'd love to engage in the discussion, but alas it will be very difficult. I do think that a "pressed melee ability, switch bar to melee/pressed ranged ability " addon is very possible and one can even link those to keys that don't have to be on visible bars. I'm not really much of an addon designer but there should be someone who can manage to do this. Anything else isn't really possible anymore.
Can you please upload the new beta file to another site? Seems that curse downloading server dont work for me... and i love this addon!!!
Thx in advance
I was wondering if it was possible to set up the mod so that it still switched bars depending on melee/ranged range but required a keypress to do it.
Example: pressing 2 while in ranged range will fire an arcane shot and switch to ranged bar if you're not already on it, pressing 2 while in melee range will wing clip and switch to melee bar if you're not already on it. If you're already on the appropriate bar then it wouldn't switch them, but would still fire arcane/winglcip. This would give you the bar switch mod functionality while requiring a key press to actually make the switch.
Thank you Elsia for trying to bring some of this functionality back to us. Myself and many others are sorely missing the autoswitch capability. If you'd like, please join in on the forum threads I linked below. I'd really like to brainstorm with you and see if we can figure out a creative work around.
