Hotbar Fix

[Robert Buice]

Hi, I just added Robin's Hotbar Fix to my client, yet I've done something wrong, it seems.

Before I move on, this fix is supposed to make the spells' cooldowns properly line up regardless of where they are in the skills tab, right?

If not, then how do I fix that?

If yes, then what have I done wrong? Here is the code I changed:

```
Public Sub SendHotbarUse(ByVal Slot As Long)
Dim Buffer As clsBuffer, x As Long

    ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out
    If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler

    ' check if spell
    If Hotbar(Slot).sType = 2 Then ' spell
        For x = 1 To MAX_PLAYER_SPELLS
            ' is the spell matching the hotbar?
            If PlayerSpells(x) = Hotbar(Slot).Slot Then
                ' found it, cast it
                CastSpell x
                Exit Sub
            End If
        Next
        ' can't find the spell, exit out
        Exit Sub
    End If

    Set Buffer = New clsBuffer
    Buffer.WriteLong CHotbarUse
    Buffer.WriteLong Slot
    SendData Buffer.ToArray()
    Set Buffer = Nothing

    ' Error handler
    Exit Sub
errorhandler:
    HandleError "SendHotbarUse", "modClientTCP", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext
    Err.Clear
    Exit Sub
End Sub
```
Thank you for any and all help, and I apologize for my stupidity in not knowing how to properly insert code.

No.

[Robert Buice]

Well then! I've searched for that fix, but to no avail. Am I just an awful searcher, or is it currently not available?

Is

> Hotbar not working. (Can't reproduce problem.)

the issue I'm referring to?

[Robin]

No. I've never heard of anything being wrong with the cooldowns.

That's the error.

It fixes the fact the hotbar doesn't work… I don't quite remember what was wrong with it. I think it only works for the first and second spells because they were there by default. Any new ones won't be cast when pressing the shortcut key until you add the fix.

[Robin]

Pretty much. It fixes the slot pointers which made it so the hotbar didn't actually work.

Sounds like the cooldown icons are based on something similar. Should be in the same general area.

[Robert Buice]

As someone who's basically illiterate in VB6, should I just wait and see if anyone else can post a fix?

[Robin]

Do what you want. It's not my place to tell you what to do.

[Robert Buice]

Alrighty! Thanks, Robin.
