Elkano's BuffBars
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

Posted Nov 16, 2007A wonderful mob, but I eagerly await the update for 2.3. I've been having some strange issues with it where it no longer follows certain buffs, and actually caused WoW to crash once for an unknown reason. All issues stopped once I turned it off.
I can't wait to have my buffbars back. ;-;

Posted Nov 16, 2007Hi, first off thanks for a gread mod, i take my hat of to you sir. I have a couple of things that i cant seem to figure out or maybe it how the mod works im not sure. If its the latter i was wondering if this would / could be changed in a future version.
1st, my tooltip only shows base stats for buffs, not including any talent point bonus when i hover over the buff. Is there any way to show this including any talent point bonus? If i hover over the skill in a quick slot (say Mark of the Wild) it shows in the tooltip with the talent point bonus added.
2nd, is there any way to show timers on pet buffs / debuffs. I can get them to work on everything else apart from the pet. (the buffs / debuffs show just not the timers).
Again many thanks for your time & effort put in to creating / maintaining a great mod.
Reeb.

Posted Nov 14, 2007Adjusting the text with the version on wowace messes with my tooltip's text. I didn't see if it changed without messing with it... but there's still no way of fixing it.

Posted Nov 14, 2007The current version on WoWAce as linked in the text should be working although it was coded a month or so ago on PTR. Haven't been able to code/test lately but hopefully this weekend I'l be able to verify that it really works so there should be a new release on wowi/curse then.

Posted Nov 14, 2007Not working anymore on patch 2.3. It doesn't refresh the buff/debuff or whatever list, and doesn't show the time remaining correctly.

Posted Nov 9, 2007Is it possible to "clutch" the buffs and debuffs together?
So when I get a new buff, the debuffs move up a spot.
Bit hard to explain :/

Posted Nov 8, 2007Hey, I'm in the process of downloading the newest version and I was wondering if it fixed the bug where the bars would extend the length of the screen when they expired. This was especially bad on rogue poisons.
I suppose it could be another mod I'm using, but I doubt it. It's not a big deal, I'm just curious.

Posted Oct 16, 2007This is most likely a problem with some other addon.
Did you try to run EBB (+its libs in case you run disembedded) as only addon?
It's possible that some other addon capable of replacing the buff display is turning their display back on since it isn't ordered to hide them.
