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!

Every time I log in or switch specs, Yata defaults to Strength of Earth Totem, Windfury Totem, Healing Stream Totem, and Searing Totem. How do I make it remember the totems I used last?

Also, how do I get a timer to display for my active weapon imbue?

You need to use the Totem Set editor to set the default totems as Yata doesn't save any changes you make during a session. Would an option for autosave be useful for you?

Imbue timer: Yata doesn't do this. I had a plan for it but until Blizzard sorts out the ability to control which hand an imbue gets put on the UI for imbues and timers is going to be very basic.

I find the totem set editor to be not at all intuitive. I thought it was just for hiding unwanted totems; there is no indication that you can reorder totems by dragging them. So yes, an autosave would be a useful feature.

As for the imbue timer, not all of us are enhancement spec. It's probably better to wait and do it right, though.

Hey, great add-on and thanks for your continuing work on it.

The following may be neither a big thing nor a common one as I haven't experienced this myself until now.

I get several errors stating "attempt to index field 'Bar' (a nil value)" when I click anything on Yata's bar and this is somehow related to the other error I get when the option to have Yata create a macro is enabled, stating "CreateMacro() failed, already have 36 macros" (which isn't quite true anyway).

{I have 23 macros in my general macros tab and my shaman's specific macro tab lists 18 macros (which means it's full), but 36 is the maximum for the general macros only.
Since Yata intends to create a character specific macro, the only way to overcome the error currently is to delete a character specific macro (or turn off the macro option, that works just as well).}

I haven't really needed to use the macro for my totems in the past, so I'll just turn it off for now - but maybe you'd like to include a check somewhere around the time the add-on gets loaded/initialised, to see if there's a free slot in either the character specific or the general macros to put Yata's macro in either of them, or throw a message to the chat stating that both macro boxes are full (if they really are) and skip the macro creation, to prevent the "'Bar' (a nil value)" error at a later point, as they both seem only to happen together.

Thanks for the report. I won't be doing any changes to the mod until I get some time after the Cata levelling rush.

does anyone know if its possible to set the alpha of the yata totem bar somehow? if not maybe i will make a ticket? i guess i can just add a something.SetAlpha(0.5) to the code somewhere to do this?

thanks

i added self:SetAlpha(0.5) at end of function TotemBar:SkinButtons(skin) and it seems to work :)

It seems to be ignoring the ButtonFacade color changes. If I turn Highlight in BF to invisable, YATA still shows the white Highlight. Other mods supported by BF are acting correctly.

I misunderstood how libButtonFacade works. Hopefully 4.6.3 does what you need.

Hi kaytikat, thanx for this nice addon.
Tried the new button imbue behavior but received the following error:

Interface\FrameXML\SecureTemplates.lua:395: attempt to call global 'CancelItemTempEnchant' (a nil value):
<in C code>: ?

Argh! This is because Live isn't patched the same as Beta. I will revert the change until patch 4.0.3 hits the live servers.

Sorry!

Yata 4.6 adds support for cancelling weapon imbues. Alt-left click on a weapon imbue button to cancel the current imbue on the main hand, and alt-right click to cancel the one on the off hand. I am still hoping Blizzard improve the way the imbues work so we can cast them directly on a specific hand, but at the moment this is the best we have.

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, yata only supports a single bar at the moment. The effort involved with changing this means that it will probably stay this way, sorry!

I'm having issues trying to move the bar around. When I open up the interface panel, the check mark to unlock the bars is permanently on and it wont let me uncheck it and move them. I disabled every other addon I have because I thought there may have been some conflict but still nothing. Any suggestions?

Well I finally got the bars to move. I ended up changing the value of one of the lua variables(think is was called "Locked") from true to false and that let me move the totem bar around. Now the problem I have seems to be a compatibility issue between YATA and Dominoes. Whenever I hit Call of the elements, it drops what I use to have assigned in the dominoes totem bar... and not what Yata is showing!! And this is with Dominoes completely disabled... maybe I try deleting all the info for dominoes and that will probably solve the issue for now? idk... just frustrating trying to find a good totem addon with simple features that I want ;-) Someone remake totem caddy please!!! hehe... jk.... appreciate all the time and effort you put into making this addon.
