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

Which version of the addon are you working with? I'm using 2.6.0 0 - r 196. I've tried that update and getting the below error. No other addon loaded except for Ace 3.

The line with SetBackdrop needs to be replaced by the following:

self.frames.anchor.backdropInfo = anchor_backdrop self.frames.anchor:ApplyBackdrop()

and make sure that you have the BackdropTemplate on the immediate preceding CreateFrame

It works fine in the Shadowlands beta if you add

, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate"

at the end of the CreateFrame calls in EBB_Bar, EBB_BarGroup, and ElkBuffBars lua files, just before the closing bracket.

Tried this. I must have done something wrong. I see 1 entry in EBB_Bar and 2 in both EBB_BarGroup, and ElkBuffBars

Is that correct?

Guess this is abandoned. That's too bad. I loved this mod.

Playing Warlock in the PrePatch and seems the whitelisting is missing debuffs such as Agony and Corruption. Are you planning to do an update or can we add these ourselves to the code? Thanks

The settings for black-/whitelist only show spell effects/auras you encountered that session. So engage an enemy or a target dummy and they should show up (unless something changed with the patch, wasn't able to test, yet).

Wish I knew enough to do this. I am looking at the files using Note++ right now but cannot figure out where to place that additional info.

I would like to be able to set a specific MAX number per row on buffs / debuffs. When the value is reached, it will continue on a new row.

Best regards

Hi - please can you help me with this! I would like a way to display the bars even when my buff has run out (like it can be grayed out). Right now if a buff drops off, the bar disappears.

That way if I have 15 buffs, and I see one buff isnt ticking anymore and is grayed out, then I can easily see which one needs to be applied (vs seeing 14 bars ticking and then not having any ideas which buff is missing).

Please help! Thanks. Fantastic mod BTW. Always loved it (used it in TBC).

Hello. Just downloaded and am currently setting up the add on. I seem to have a "Blessing of Demonstration" at the bottom of all my groups. Is there a way to get rid of this?

It will show while the group is in configuration mode (cog wheels in anchor bar) to allow you to configure the layout for empty groups.

So just turn of configuration mode for the groups (via config menu or alt-click on a bar).

Hey! Thanks for providing this cool addon, love it!

Im looking for an option to have the buffbar filling from bottom to top. What i mean is having the anchor on the bottom and then all the debuffs piled on top of the anchor.

In case im missing it in the options, i wish it would be implemented as a feature. Thanks :3

The "grow up" setting for the group should do the trick.
