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

Is there a way to consolidate/hide healing buffs? sometimes during raids my buff list goes off the screen.

Is it possible to have an option to move the tracking bar to the bottom or is it already implanted?

It's not showing your dungeon cd, because that's now not a "debuff" any longer since the latest patch. ^^

I'm not getting any errors, but for whatever reason, it isn't tracking my dungeon cooldown debuff. Just thought I'd let you know. I don't think it's necessarily 'broken' but it's definitely doing things a little differently now.

from 3.3.3's change log:
The Random Dungeon cooldown is no longer displayed as a debuff. Instead, players will see the cooldown time remaining displayed in the Dungeon Finder window when Random Dungeon or Random Heroic Dungeon is selected from the pull-down.

"Doesn't work!" is not a bug report... so if you got a real error, post that one...

Also make sure you remembered to reactivate "load outdated addons".

Trying to get something similar to the "minimlistic setup" picture above. but I want the line of buffs to be horizontal. basically an almost exact mirror of wow's generic buffs but movable and much smaller.

halp!

I'm trying to use this addon as a raid buff indicator, similar to Cork.
I added a new group, filtered some essential buffs like flask / well fed / etc. and it works well.. but a little thing matters.
I just want to show that group box when i'm in a raid party only.

So I tried a simple code which detects my current party status, and if I'm in a raid party, then run:

ElkBuffBars.bargroups[3]:SetAlpha(0)

and error occurs.
Am I misunderstanding the algorithm?
Thanks in advance.

well said. it's a testament to good coding that it hasn't needed an update in 8 months. keep up the good work... or lack of having to work on it :)

Sometimes when I log in or zone into an instance, the buff bars are missing, and there is a small box with a "flame" texture on it. A simple /reload gets everything working again.
Used to be a once in a GREAT while thing that happened, now happens every other time I deal with a loading screen.

Any suggestions?

Is there any chance of migrating from Ace2 to Ace3? I am finding more and more issues and errors in game involving Ace2 and the addons that use it.

I can no longer get the right-click menu from the minimap icon. I just reformatted my PC and reinstalled (for other reasons) and downloaded a fresh version of the addon, but I still don't get a right-click menu, even when this is the only addon I have running. Was there a change in how to create new bargroups and I missed it or am I just having issues?

you're most likely having issues.
try: /ebb config
should open a menu, too.

best way would be to simply delete the saved variables file.
