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 love this addon and find it really clear and useful.

My only negative about it and wish it could changed as this would make it awesome would to be able to have a tooltip for each icon when you hovered over it so you can see what each Buff/DeBuff is doing.

Can this be added????

In reply to antr95:

If you look at the overview text, above, you'll see that the author addresses this.

Unfortunately, it appears the author has also been dragging his feet in actually getting this change implemented. It's enough of an issue that I've decided to try an find a different addon to manage my buffs.

Is there a temporary fix if we are having a conflict with Bagnon opening bags?

From what I can tell it's caused by some other addon.

I dug a bit deeper and the problem comes from LibItemCache-2.0 and the way LibGratuity-3.0 implemented its compatibility layer for its old LibGratuity-2.0 API. :/

So the bug is in LibGratuity-3.0 but like I said, due to its license I'm not allowed to fix it.

EBB uses LibGratuity to get the name of temporary item enchants, for which I haven't found another way besides tooltip scanning so far. Maybe I'll have to write my own code for that :/

give alpha r192 a try (from the project's wowace page). I replaced LibGratuity with some own code.

Edited comment, works great. Must have been a conflict with another addon that wasn't updated.

I have my main setup and its under default profile, I log into any alt and bar4 doesn't only shows under main. Bar4 I have is just whitelisted personnel abilities. If i goto config mode bar4 works and lights up with the correct whitelisted abilities. Totally lost here.

My bars have this random buff called "Blessing of Demonstration XXIII x5" stuck at 13m37s and it can't be clicked off and won't go away. I can't see it in the black list feature. How can I get rid of this ghost buff?? It has nothing to do with my character from what I can see and it's just frozen on the buff list. Kind of annoying to stare at.

In reply to Merq:

This just means your bar group is still in configuration mode (also indicated by the gears in the anchor bar). Try either ALT-clicking a bar in that group or turning of the group's config mode in its settings.

Thanks for updating this addon, I can't without. Only problem I have now is changing the font. I downloaded SharedMedia (the lib and addon) but I can't find an option in the addon's settings. What am I doing wrong?
