I got it working after you said "Are you using the normal version with embedded libraries (some of the libraries wont load as stand-alone addons anymore in midnight as they weren't updated but still work fine embedded)?"

The problem was the curse app I Had Installed Libraries Separately checked I unchecked it now the addon works . Thanks for the help.

Quote from Elkano:

In reply to Toptek:

 That would indicate one of the files didn't load correctly.

Was there another error shown? especially regarding ElkBuffBars.lua

Are you using the normal version with embedded libraries (some of the libraries wont load as stand-alone addons anymore in midnight as they weren't updated but still work fine embedded)?

I'm using the latest version off curses site , I tried with out other addons loaded to make sure it wasn't another addon problem. I will look though the bug lists on !BugGrabber to see if there is any more errors.

I'm currently using version r217. The hours and minutes that were originally displayed as HM have now become countdowns in thousands of seconds.

Great to see this make a comeback!

I'm trying to set it up like I had it before, with an extra Group that only has a Whitelist of what I want to see (mainly short-lived buffs during combat), However even tho the main Group 1 bar works fine, I tried editing Group 2 to show me the whitelist ones but it always shows a red bar for Blessing of Demonstration and if I turn Configuration Mode off its always empty. Am I forgetting how that works? What settings should I have at the Group and Filters level to do that?

Even out of combat, if I whitelist something simple like Ground Skimming its not showing up.

I'm not getting debuffs to show on the bars anymore in latest version.

In reply to Elkano: Yep 2.7.7-217. Sorry, I mean that the debuff bars don't show up at all. For example, when I bubble, forbearance does not show up as a bar at all, see pic: https://ibb.co/6cVvDQcj

so happy to see updates, thanks bud

I keep getting this error on login and the addon doesn't work.

Would there be a way to put time remaining in to minutes / seconds as quickly looking its a pain to work out how long left currently :)

I'm so glad Elkano's still the best :-)
