Hi,
I know this might be too much to ask, but I would like to see LS features that can essentially replace Autobar.
Right now, Autobar does:
1. Pre-fill usable items (pots, food, water, hearthstone, healthstone, mount, bandages, etc). 2. Mages: Align Mana Gems and allow Left-Click=Summon, Right-Click=Use of the strongest mana gems 3. Mages: Align Food and allow Right-Click=Conjure, Left-Click=use of strongest food. 4. Mages: Align Food and allow Right-Click=Conjure, Left-Click=use of strongest water. 5. Mages: Align Teleport and Portals. 6. Pre-fill a list of Quest related items (tools that must be used in certain quests, such as bomb runs).
My main is a mage and I am using both LS and Autobar, but would really like to just use LS.

Ok, I am going to do my best to respond to this.
1. Probably not going to happen. I don't see this functionality that big of a necessity but i'm sure Moon will comment on this later. 2. Moon has said he will be seperating the use strongest mana potion into seperate mana potion and mana gem buttons. How I imagine it will work is you decide if you want to use strongest or weakest mana gem. Then left click will be use in that order and right click will be conjur in that order. Expect to see some of this functionality in Stage 5. 3. You can do this yourself. Make a button. Assign the left click "Use strongest food" and then assign right click "Conjur Water" (from your spellbook". 4. Same thing as above but with water. 5. Do this yourself. Make 5 new buttons, assign left click teleport to the city and right click portal to the ciry. 6. This has been suggested before and if I remember correctly Moon said he might consider looking into this idea after the public release of Lunar Sphere.
In case you are having trouble making the buttons as I have suggested, just download the latese version uf LS. Then under the main options (click on the center sphere), check edit buttons. Then when you click on any button you will be able to assign left, middle, and right clicks to your hearts content.
If you are too lazy to make all these buttons, you can just wait for Stage 7 where your statements 2-5 will most likely be in the preset mage interface.
Happy hunting.

I used to use Autobar but really have no need for it anymore with Lunarsphere. The only real reason for me to use Autobar was because it would automatically switch in the best water/ potion and lunarsphere does this. But i suppose everyone has different uses depending on their playstyle.
I know for the amount of memory autobar hogs up its not worth it for me personally.

LoL
I really appreciate everyone's comments, I just find it funny that most responses I got are "do it yourself".
I guess I can make my own buttons and commands via macro (believe me, even with per char macro and shared macro, there's still not enough macro space).
I actually use autobar for the quest items quite often, which is the main reason I'd like to ask for the add.
But, if it's too much trouble, of course I will learn to make my own macro buttons. It's just saves time to have a mod, lol

Pre-fill a list of Quest related items (tools that must be used in certain quests, such as bomb runs). My main is a mage and I am using both LS and Autobar, but would really like to just use LS. Well let's see ... most of these features will be built-in, technically, when you select a class template in a future stage of the beta. As of now, like what was suggested, you'll need to edit a button around the sphere and on the Button Settings window, set the left-middle-right click events to specific things (like "Use strongest water," "Use strongest health potion," etc). LS will populate those buttons with the best it can find. I know 1-4 can be done in this mannor, but it sounds like you want a complete MENU dedicated to certain item items (like menu #1 having nothing but healing potions, menu #2 having all your foods). I have considered making menu "types" as well, which will pre-fill with information (food, drink, healing pots, mana pots, bandages, mounts) as well as any quest items found in inventory (up to the 12 buttons it can hold), but it will have to come at a later time, after most of the other "meat" of the addon is finished. Don't really know what else to say on this matter ... wait a little longer, maybe?

Moongaze! You only grace the wow experience that I get from your mods. Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah, I continue to look forward to your updates (becomes a daily habit now to visit here), and all the improvements that I've seen are just...impressive!
Please by no means stray from your original plan for the project, I was merely making suggestions according to my own personal experience.
Autobar is a great mod and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon, but it would be nice to be able to use LS to simplify other mods. In fact, many features of LS allows me to eliminate most of the action bar items, and I definitely enjoy the non-clutter.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen to us. =)
