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

wasn't notified about Vavictu's post until your reply but have been in contact with him a few days ago via PM, so I'll drop (parts of) my reply in here, too.

From having a quick look at the mentioned lines, it seems like one of your addons is accessing the lib via the old Gratuity-2.0 API, causing a recursion. This could be caused by the lib not having been updated for new tooltip functions. Sadly, I can't tell from the log which addon is causing it.

Since LibGratuity-3.0 is listed as licensed under ARR, without permission from the original author no one is allowed to fix the lib.

So either you try to contact tekkub (haven't been in touch with him for years) or you try to find the addon which is causing the problem and get it somehow updated.

I should also note, that for me, EBB is indeed running fine without error. But from looking at Bagons repository, it doesn't seem to be using LibGratuity-3.0, but maybe one of the plugins does.

Since 7.2.5, Blizzard buff icons keep coming back even when 'Hide Blizzard buffs' is checked in the EBB options.

Can't reproduce and there was no change in code (neither mine nor Blizzard's) that should have cause this. So my best guess is some other addon messing with them, too.

I would suggest to extend the "condensed" time format to display days (for buffs like the archeology buff or the Un'goro event buffs).

Is there anything broken (besides outdated TOC), that would need a fix?

Yes, you can not adjust it by right-clicking, no menu opens.

In the last week or two, EBB is not hiding Blizzard buff frame when receiving a new buff, causing me to have to go into the options and turn off and on the "hide blizzard buff frame" option.
Not sure what changed in the last few weeks, but ever since 7.1.5 this has been happening regularly.
Love your mod, please update it asap!

Just tested, working normal for me. Did you try if any other of your addons is causing that problem, e.g. by only running EBB?

Since patch 7.2.5 went live, my Well Fed food-buff doesn't seem to appear on EBB anymore. Tried with several toons, with several Legion-foods. The "Food & Drink" shows up, but not "Well Fed".

I solved it before even posting this. Turned out the Well Fed buff were white listed as well as black listed. No idea what caused that to happen. O_o

Hey! Thanks for the great addon been using it since wrath!

I recently came back for legion and with my new UI design I was wondering if its possible to set max debuffs to track?

I have the anchorpoint pretty close to the bottom of my screen and when I go to raids or world bosses there are so many debuffs that they hit the bottom of my screen and then starts building upwards and above the anchorpoint covering a lot of my screen and basicly turning out very ugly.

So the easy fix for me would be to set max debuffs or have it so that debuffs even if they went offscreen wouldnt "push the anchorpoint" upwards.

Not sure if i've covered all options in configuration.

Is there any options to "merge" buffs and debuffs?

I know I can put them together, but they are mixed and sorted by "time".

Can it be sorted by type first and then by time?

Thxs

Just use two separate groups and stick them together like it's done in the initial config.
