More action bars or an addon to combine several items to use one slot

Guides UI and Macro
1

So my current UI is super full. I have toys and pets and mounts. I am looking for a way to get more bars or an addon like Opie that allows you to add several items to one slot on the bar. Reason I am not using OPIE is because it is no longer being updated. Any help would be awesome. But if I can get rid of my 30 toys/mounts/pets and put them to 3 slots. That would free up like 27 spots :slight_smile: Thanks

I’m partial to Select.

Here’s my mount macro:

/select [swimming] m:aquatic, m:fflying; [flyable] Magic Rooster, m:fflying, Grand Expedition Yak; m:Skychaser, m:fland, Felsteed, Goblin Trike, Cindermane Charger, m:881
/vexit
/dismount [nobtn:2,mounted]

When swimming, I can select from aquatic or favorite flying mounts; when I can fly select from favorite flying (or magic rooster for those zones when [flyable] is broken), etc.

My “healing item” macro:

/select Healthstone, item:Healing Potion, Heavy Windwool Bandage, Potion of Mogu Power, Brawler's Healing Potion, Life Spirit, Healing Tonic, Ever-Blooming Frond, Phial of Serenity, Rejuvenating Siphoned Essence

My miscellaneous, but mostly for quest macros (to select and use quest items from my bars rather than objective tracker):

/select Potion of the Old War, Potion of Prolonged Power, type:Quest, Giant Dinosaur Bone, Drums of Rage, Moonfang Shroud, Katy's Stampwhistle, toy:favorite, pet:Hobbes

(I need to clean out a lot of the old stuff)

Love the macro but what about making space for your macro ?

I use buttonforge for making some extra buttons https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/button-forge

OPie is still getting updates on the author’s website.

It looks like they don’t want to use curseforge now that it’s owned by overwolf.

What would be the reason to not wanting to use overwolf ?

Anyone have any other suggestions for consolidating several skills into one slot on the action bar?

Overwolf has a history of collecting very invasive telemetry and inserting ads where they don’t belong, including in-game overlays.

Further, the approval process and delay when pushing minor updates to your own code is frustrating and introduced needless delays.

If you can self host you avoid those issues entirely, and if you can’t, you can always host the project on GitHub.
