Description

Gamepad Extra Buttons

Adds extra buttons to WoW Forever's gamepad action bar for controller back paddles or any spare key. Each button works on all four trigger layers (none, LT, RT, LT+RT) and looks and behaves like the game's own slots.

Features

  • Up to 5 extra buttons per side of the gamepad bar
  • One spell, item or macro per trigger layer, so 4 actions per button
  • Native look: cooldowns, range and usability colors, pressed state, focus scaling and highlight
  • Follows stance and possess bars (druid forms and similar)
  • Optional spacing so the extra slots don't overlap the bar

Setup

  1. Map your paddles to spare keyboard keys in your controller software (Steam Input, for example). Use /geb free to find keys that are bound to nothing in the wow client. (I personally bind my controller paddles to F1-6)
  2. Open the window with /geb, click Add left button or Add right button, then press the paddle.
  3. Drag spells, items or macros from your spellbook, bags or macro window onto the slots.

Note: Setup requires a mouse and keyboard on PC. The built in gamepad bind from spellbook does not work with additional buttons (you must drag and drop the spell into the slot), and the config window can't be navigated with a controller.

Once set up, everything is played on the controller.
