Yata - Yet Another Totem Addon

Yata is the answer to all your totem (and weapon imbue) needs

What is Yata?

Yata is a hugely flexible totem bar addon, enabling your shaman to organise their totems, cast them (individually, through the multicast spells or by /castsequence macro) and track cooldowns and timers.

Yata was originally created by Tornhoof and was one of the pioneers of totem bar support during The Burning Crusade. It has been brought up to date in Wrath of the Lich King by kaytikat.

Features

Bars

Horizontal or vertical layout (with the ability to choose which side the pop-outs go)
Customisable order or groups and individual totems
Ability to hide useless or unused totems
Fully skinnable with ButtonFacade
Scale and position configurable
User-configured number of rows permanently visible
Button indicators showing which spells belong to which multicast spell
Short tooltip support
Key bind a spell group (e.g. a single key that will cast whichever fire totem is currently selected)

Spell Management

Key modifier to reorder totems (default: ctrl left click)
Key modifier to drop a totem without reordering (default: shift left click)
Key modifier to set/clear a totem as part of a multicast spell group (default: alt left click)
Cooldowns and timers shown on the button or on separate bars
Destroy Totem or Totemic Call (right click and shift right click, respectively)

How to get started

Open the Blizzard interface frame and choose yata or type /yata in the chat window

Type /kb to keybind abilities

Localisation

Yata needs translating!

In short hun this could end up being a nice companion for those who find other menu add-ons clunky. Yata has never been clunky. -cheers- And just would love less clunky to be applicable to all classes. I play a toon for every class. And some add-ons for the other classes are so fricken annoying and clunky, I just revert back to the standard Action Bar. Replied also below =)

This addon is amazing, i really like it. However is it possible to fix the tooltip? I really dont like it even the short one. In addition, some people don't like the mouseover (i personally find it great). These are the only 2 suggestions i can give, for the rest its awesome!

What is it about the tooltip that you'd like changed?

Well, i would like an option to remove it completely. I'll give you an example: in BT4 (Bartender 4), if the tooltips are hidden, when you mouseover a button you don't see any kind of tooltip. Thats is what i would like for Yata too. However this is just a silly request, and probably im the only one wanting that so don't bother yourself too much =P.

As of 4.0 you can select "None" as the tooltip type.

To tell you the truth. When other add-ons for shammies came and went. I still stayed with Yata. Why bother with lesser add-ons when this did it best =). Now if only someone could prod you in a good way (that and if you have the applicable time). To making a add-on sort of like Yata but with class modules. So that other classes could in turn take advantage of this design. Maybe enable it to define the length of the bar, and the capacity of each button. Definable class themes. Sort of how Yata already works with each button being assigned to certain spells. Though this is a big idea and that would be all subjected to many factors. You having time and additionally wanting to do it, being just a few.

I've certainly thought about it, but it would take a bit of work to do.

What sort of things did you have in mind? Mage portals/Rogue poisons/Warlock demons/Hunter aspects?

Mage : portals / polys (so many forms they can do now) / buffs (focus,self,party enabled based on what buff) Int being party, Focus magic being self or focus.

For example.

Another being most players have an actual rotation they do. So they could be set up with spells to facilitate certain rotations. And have the ability to swap these rotations (sort of how you did already with swapping totem sets). For a given situation. So in this example you could give a mage say 5 buttons to use in a selected set. With the ability for them to define on each button 5 other spells that can be swapped in (that they have pre-configured). so you could have it :

5 5 5 5 5
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[button]-[button]-[button]-[button]-[button]-[button set]

This way say a mage wants to change their poly to a cat. And lets say they configured a button set already. Say they named it simply "Mage".
The first button could be labeled portals (selectable types listed there), 2nd could be poly (selectable forms there),3rd buffs,4th food/mana. Just examples on one class.

-bah curse ruined my formatting lol-

Arrows were over each button.

The number 5 was over each arrow.

To designate buttons and number selectable from that button.

And then if they wanted another for mage rotations. It could follow a similar logic. All definable by the user. -thinks sometimes mages only spam 2 spells lol-

Imbued weapon added support - left click (left weapon) right click (right weapon). Currently imbues try to structure themselves by the presently imbued. When I feel a right/left click for imbues. Would function far better. If I'm not mistaken didn't the old YATA have this functionality? And were the keys to left/right imbues just changed? If you have main as flametongue offhand as windfury. But wish to make main windfury it just refreshes the imbue on the offhand. The same is true for many other combinations of imbues. When left/right clicking functioned I feel far better.

Yata never had weapon imbues before - are you perhaps thinking of the old Numen?

Regardless, it's a good idea. I'll see about getting it into the first 4.0 Alpha (which will be soon as I have a working version on the beta now).

Hmm never used any shammy addon but this one. I was almost sure it was the old Yata. I could test this if I still had an old version, but I do not. I did make a hotfix to the old Yata but was just to correct it from throwing up errors. Now that you are back no need to put a bandage on it. You always made Yata great =)

Would really like to have totem sets based on dual spec talent trees. Instead of all amassed into one.
