I get this when I try to use /btncopy in the MQ window. This is on my new RGManager test environment, so I am wionderign if there is an alias or something involved?

Nothing found in the init.Lua

When I look at the version of the init.Lua in my original MQNext folder, I can see it in there, but the version is all saying 2.3.

Is the version being downloaded by RGManager an incorrect version?

I just ran the updater on the RGManager, and it showed an update, now the version I have does have the /btncopy command in it. Wierd stuff, as I have been running the Update All button daily on the RGManager.
 
@Derple Found a broke'd thing I was fooling around importing from the Shard Repo and I could not delete the Derple's Silly Buttons Set. Crashes every time.
Removed set from the active buttons, and even tried deleting the 3 buttons that import gives. Still crashes and gives the following error:

Restarting IM GUI shows the set still in the non displayed list.

Fixed next patch!
 
Would it be hypothetically possible for the "font scale" option to instead be "font size" to eliminate blurring from scaling?

Asking for a friend.
 
Bug: When dragging an EQ-created AA hotkey to BM, the alt act number listed in BM seems to be increased by 120 (on live, at least).

EditButtonPopup, line 71. Guessing just the cursor index isn't offset (even though the check for it is), but don't know enough about it to feel comfy PRing.

adding AA hotbuttons by clicking makes the AA number wrong by 120
for example, Origin is 331 but this is what is added.

Yep, same for me, also mentioned this before but had forgotten about it
@Derple
 
Also the new editor window is coming to BM as soon as my PR gets pushed but I think brain wants to make some updates so it may take a bit.

New editor looks like this:

So I'm trying to enter info i have in a hotkey but am not sure how it needs to look in the Button Master box.

This is the hotkey:

When I type those lines in a Button Master box it doesn't work at all.

How should it be done in Button Master?
 
I am hitting a wall with Button Master and at this point it is to be something I have done or I am not doing. When I load in Button Master all I get is a gui window that says Button Master - 1 but no buttons and the options gear icon does nothing. This is unfamiliar territory for myself and I have read everything I could find so far but nothing has seemed to help but I do fully realize this may just be a real simple stupid issue that I am just not grasping so apologies if that is the case. What I have been able to observe is that Button Master will not make a config .ini and when I do load up button master this is the line in MQ console "<init.Lua::unknown_fun():197 > [Button Master] :: Button Master v2.3 by (o_O) Derple, Special.Ed (o_O) - Loaded!" Now if the error on 197 is line 197 in the init.Lua then that the is the Setup () function call (may be wrong jargon here). I really do try to fix the issues myself but I am pulling my hair out on this one, please let me know if I have done something super silly to cause this, this is the literal first time I have tried to use button master. Appriciate any insite anyone may have on this, Thank you!

I think i just discovered I'm using the `/multi ;` command incorrectly.

I've been using ``/multi ; `` instead of `/dgae /multi ; `

Glad you got it sorted, just wanted to let you know that the "unknown function" is not an error, it just more or less means that the function doing the work there did not report it's name to the logging function. It's a Derple thing.

It depends on what you are trying to do. The first will send multiple commands to the local client, the second will send those commands to all of the DanNet connected clients.

So I just went through and moved all my eq hotkeys into buttonmaster - Drag and Drop worked on almost everything, with the exception of disciplines - Drag the hotkey over a BM key, click, and... nothing. Button edit window opens, nothing is pasted into it. Had to manually type each one in. Also noted that timer for Discs requires full name with rank in order to work, although the command is just fine with only the name. Not sure if there is any way to change that or not. If the drag and drop worked, would be a non-issue.

The timer requires the rank because the name of the ability includes the rank for disciplines. This isn't a Button Master limitation.
 
Probably a super dum question - how do i have different profiles for button master with my different drivers? when i load it up on a new driver it makes changes on my main drivers button master profile

I create tabs (set) specific for each toon, and global ones, like travel or maintenance ones.

Ignore the 2 part, that is just remnants from an older version of BM.

Keep in mind there is great versatility, and you should make it your own. I have seen screen shots of amazing looking ones, mine is very basic.
 
I love buttonmaster and appreciate the work you have put into it. The problem I am having is when I switch to a different toon, one of the buttons in button master will get stuck on the cursor. Then, if I do not notice and click a button it will swap spots. It also stops the toon from casting spells because it thinks it ha something on the cursor. nothing will work until I left click the mouse in an empty space to get rid of it.
Thank you for an awesome Lua!
 
Oh hell yeah!
I got this up and running after some learning curves cause well, I dont read shit. LOL I freed up like 15 slots on my hotbar space. I leave some stuff on the bars in case I need that oh shit moment and need to play in manual mode though. But still....dont need 8 hotbars like the old days.

Now to go learn some more. :)

Thanks much.

Hey dude, I sometimes have issues like this and it has to do with the way that I click into windows and imgui capturing my mouse, generally.

If it is the same thing that happens to me, you can try a non-mouse method to switch windows, or clicking a slightly different area (happens to me when i remote in and use task view to switch windows, and the mouse is in the general area of the window BM is in).

Chiming in because it does seem to make sense to me that locking the window from moving would also lock button dragging, maybe @Derple can add it at some point.
