UPDATE: I don't play ESO any more, love the game, might again in the future, but as of right now this is not being maintained. Others have asked if they can take over and I hope they do!
I do not take credit for the creation of this mod, all credit goes to AlphaLemming who originally created and maintained AlphaGear up until June 2016, at which point it stopped receiving updates for 2 consecutive API updates.
That being said, I am a professional programmer and am going to try to do more than just update the API version number going forward. Please submit bug reports to this AddOn page and I will try to fix them, and I may even be able to implement new features at some point if I have the time.
What Is AlphaGear?
AlphaGear lets you create up to 16 sets of gear that may be equipped with a single button press. You can assign each set to a different key on your keyboard for easy swapping when out of combat. This is not the same as regular in-game weapon swapping as it allows you to swap both of your weapons, both of their skill bars and your entire armor set at the same time! Fantastic!
I just started playing ESO in November of 2016, and out of all the AddOns I downloaded AlphaGear was my favorite by far, despite being nearly half a year outdated. I've tried other gear set solutions and in my limited experience they're just not as good for a variety of reasons, but I'm not going to start bad talking other mod authors by getting specific
Usage Tips- Bind your number pad to gear sets if you aren't using it already because they are not considered the same as your number row keys by ESO
- Create 2 (or more) sets with the same equipment, but different skill bars to create situational skill setups (solo, group, etc...)
- Create a radial menu using Big Picture mode with your Steam or Dual Shock 4 controller (Steam beta) to make swapping gear sets a breeze! Combine this with my first tip and set your radial menu buttons to num1, num2, etc...
Found a Bug?
Tell me! I'm going to try to keep this thing working going forward for as long as I play ESO, if only because I intend to use it extensively! I will take all bug reports seriously and attempt to fix them, though it may take a while for me to figure them out since I didn't write this (or any other...) AddOn.
Version 5.00 Notes- Updated the APIVersion number so that ESO would no longer consider it an "out of date" AddOn
- Started adding comments to the functions created by AlphaLemming
- No functional changes from version 4.08, report some bugs and I'll get to fixing them
