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

just wondering, does this addon show debuffs inflicted on your target by other players? ie) if a mage sheeps my target, and i have polymorph set to be shown, will it show up?
since there is no way to tell who cast a de/buff, yes it should show up. But since the API only retunrs times for spells cast on/by you you won't see how long the sheep is going to hold, only that the mob is affected by it.
quick stupid question how do i take off the tracking portion of the buff bar cuz it dosnt bellong in my buff bar imo lolz
with less lulz and more brain :P
Disable tracking in group 1's filter settings.
there are certain debuffs missing from the list to filter, such as drain mana and starshards. is there any plan to update it with these?
just get yourself infected with them... the lists are generated on the fly as the de/buffs are seen in game
The 2.4 version wasn't uploaded by myself. But don't be fooled by the 'out of date' message... this only means that the TOC file lists an older TOC version so you have to check 'load out of date addons' in your addon list. It does not mean the addon isn't working with 2.4 (in fact it works fine)
Then please update TOC file to support 2.4.x out-of-box if you declare its support.
As of 2.4 this isnt working for me anymore..I tried the 2.4 zip file, and tried the most recent updated one, both still showing out of date :D
Hi, I am having a problem with your addon, since i configured the UI for my druid and for my hunter, both low lvl xD
After making an amasing UI for both (took half day ><) i logged my main just to find that your addon was not working, i had default buff icons, even tho i didnt change anything on my mains settings, i worked around it for some days by just renaming my alts folders in the WTF folder, but, since yesterday, it stop working and my main is now having just icons and no elkano buffs for anyone.
Any ideas? i end up trying diferent addons on and off, and i am having like the biggest UI lag ever, and i dont know what i addon caused that =( because i have like 300 addons on my addon folder, and i just enable/desable what i need for each of my charaters.
Hope you can help me, is there any "by profile" option in elkano? because as for configuration, it was one of the easiest, i think it was just, enable, position and forget, great addon.
how to unlock the buffbar? i can't move it so how to unlock it ? and also how to lock it back when needed? :P
Feature request:
Most cast bar/timer/cooldown addons have a 'glowing' 'light' at the end of every bar that is about 2-4 pixels wide. If you're not sure what I'm talking about see nature enemy castbar, or quartz castbar, or DoTimers. It would be a great feature for your addon. If it's an easy change but you don't want to add it to your addon maybe you could post here and tell me how to do it?
For those missing textures/fonts simply do as the description says:

Since a few days i cant change the bar layout anymore! there is only one style to choose (blizzard).
<3 this addon!
Hi,
Since the last time I played, ElkBuffBars set the font and textures to default again. Could the use of shared media 3.0 be the cause of that?
I use Clearfont 2.0 and these aren´t available anymore by EBB. I installed the font&texture packs, that come with the library, but my old favourite font is still missing.
If you have an idea i would appreciate.
I think its a problem from clearfont and pitbull, because they dont use the new library yet.
Thx 4 youre work...
hello, really nice addon !
Is there a way to show totem timers ?
thanks
simply said: no
with the new API in 2.4 maybe I'll add something but for now there are other addons for that job eg Yata or GotWood
Hi. Is there any way to sort buffs in more convenient way? So it would be easier to find missing pala/raid buffs? The only way I see now is to make special groups and do a lot of whitelisting/blacklisting...
Can you select which buffs this addon shows? I'm looking for a addon that let's me select buffs, like battleshout and rampage, and move them somewhere on my screen away from the rest of the buffs, so I can just pay attention to them.
blacklisting, whitelisting, groups, ... yes :)
