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

Hello. I've been using this great addon for a while now for since a few weeks, I'm getting a weird error. Instead of showing the time, it's written "%d m".
i have a problem with the mod not working sometimes, im thinking it may haev something to do with the levels its on, ie i have a eepanel and try put this ontop if i have eepanel on level 2+ you cant even see it which means that they both have to sit on the 1st level so i can see the buffs.... im not sure sometimes they work sometimes they dont. Perhaps adding a function to select which level the buffs sits on may work? if its not that then i have no idea why its not working sometimes and it is the others. also the tench timers give out an error when you try using poisens on weapons.. it wont pick them up at all.
If anyone is having the problem with Blizzard`s Buff frame not going away, remove the PlayerAuras module from DoTimer, if youre using it. It worked for me.
me think this addon need to fix so u can see the improve blood pact or any ader buffs for the curent Ver!! u dont see and that suxx big time
Hello, Elkano
You have created an awesome addon. Really, I enjoy it a lot.
I have only one question: is it possible to setup some filter which will show only my debufs?
For example - when fighting some boss I see all debuffs from warriors, rogues etc. I turned them all off and leave only priest's DoTs like SW:Pain. It helped a little, but not completely. The problem is that in raid we have normally 2-3 shadow priests and as result I see their dots as well. So is it possible to show only my own dot's/debuffs?
Regards
The API doesn't tell whose debuff it is so no, not directly. But iirc it will return the timeleft only for de/buffs you applied so you could try to filter timless de/buffs.
Besides that you could look into addons like Chronometer that are especially intended for such a task.
I really love this addon and there is no other other addon that is even close to being that awesome.
So I am getting really frustrated when the addons sometimes just stops working. Sounds weird but the bars just stop counting down and it doesn't add any buffs.
Then sometimes it starts to work 5min later, sometimes not. Does any1 know how to fix this? I don't know if it matters but I am playing on a mac.
btw. this is whats saying as the only error in ebb:
Error: attempt to index field 'Rlines' (a nil value)
File: ...ddOns\ElkBuffBars\libs\Gratuity-2.0\Gratuity-2.0.lua
Line: 62

@omgitsdaryl
here you can change width and height of a group:
/ebb config --> Group Settings --> Group X --> Bar Layout ---> Height / Width

How do i make the buff bar smaller just like the 2nd picture is being shown.
Thank you raggarsvin, your tip works, but i have to disable and enable the elkanos buffbars after every logon.
for those that got Blizzards buffbar and cant disable it, I tried disable and reaneble Elkanos buffbar and it worked, relogged after to make shure it would stick. Blizzards original buffbar was still gone
thanks for a great addon
Thank you Elkano for your wonderful addon. But since I installed my WoW again and updated my addons, I'm not able do deactivate the buffs from the blizzard ui. Do I have to put some settings in your buffbars? Thanks for helping.
It's caused by some other addon you're running that reshows these buffs if it isn't set to hide them. So check your other addons.
can this addon display the (de)buff u get from the first boss in Mech ?
the + and - thingies
if it's a de/buff it should be showing it; if it isn't it wont. Never was in Mech myself...
Heya Elkano :)
First of all, thanks for this addon, I can't live without it. I appreciate your hard working.
As there are a few addons, which shows spell/item cooldowns as bars, but I would love to use Elkano's CooldownBars, which would look like BuffBars, so could there be a variation later perhaps?
Is there any way you can have the buff bars display timers for shaman totems, my only complaint. i love this addon none the less but would be sweet to see timers in the buff. thanks
Since the totems themselves aren't buffs this data isn't available, especialy not via the buff API. So no, EBB doesn't display these. But there are some other mods that do.
ya i seen those other ones, but to be honest don't really like any of them lol closest one was one that has bars much like EBB but it would just be one more thing on my screen. also i just recently noticed, not sure if it existed pre 2.3.2 but "timeless buffs" dont FILL up the buff far it goes to about 9/10 but i can still see the background color. its not a spacing option (i checked) it just simply doesn't show the bar FULL (i changed the color of the bar and the background color as well if that helps) other than that, love it love it love it
Great addon , i just have 1 problem.
How can i remove the tracking type bar ?
I can hide the minimap button but i can't hide that bar :(
Thx
Simply uncheck the "tracking" type in group 1's filters.
