Elkano's BuffBars

Table of Contents

EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.

Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.

Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.

In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

I'm having an issue where EBB is not taking over the Blizzard frames. I can uncheck the option and recheck it and it will suppress Blizzard's frames. Thanks in advance.

That's most likely caused by some other addon showing the frames again after EBB hid them.

Thanks so much!

Wouldn't happen to have an Ace3 rewrite in our near future would we?

Posting this here because it doesn't seem like the wowace ticket page gets much TLC:

2x ElkBuffBars-2.2.5-150\EBB_Bar.lua:60: attempt to index global 'ChatFrameEditBox' (a nil value)
ElkBuffBars-2.2.5-150\EBB_Bar.lua:168: in function <ElkBuffBars\EBB_Bar.lua:168>

Locals:
this = <unnamed> {
0 = <userdata>
bar = {}
}
button = "LeftButton"

It can be cancelled if I use Blizzards buff bars instead of yours; therefore, it's still considered a buff. There's something not working right with the newest patch and EBB.

I can no longer remove (by right clicking) some beneficial buffs such as Spirit of Redemption. Why?

maybe it's considered a form now and only removeable via a secure action?
You also can't cancel forms via EBB anymore iirc.

This isn't an EBB error but AceTab-2.0 being broken.
The debug stack shows though that it's most likely Grid that is loading it and Grid should be updated by now I think so get the latest version of Grid.

For some reason, I cant right click on the buffs to stop them. Such as if Im on a mount and I right click it doesnt get me off the mount. Anyone else getting this?

I'm a shaman and using my own weapon enchants like windfury. The buffs are displayed, but when I try to scale down the buffs in general, the Weapon enchants like windfury are not scaling down as well and I don't see an option for such scale downs of these buffs. Any hints or is this bug?

As you can see from the path, the error is caused by AceConsole or rather AceTab. This is no bug in EBB itself.

Also the new patch isn't live in EU for at least a week so even if it was EBB there's not that much I could do.
