How do I make the buff bar grow upward? everything I configure in forever makes the bar grow down. I tried every option and anything I add just makes buffs show either at the top or bottom of the buff bar but it always grows downward.

Hi Elkano, I've loved this addon back in the old days of WoW. Coming back for Forever and wanted to use it again. It seems to work (r227) but when I go to the layout options to adjust bar lengths etc.. I get LUA errors and none of the changes seem to do anything. I disabled all other addons and just ran Elkanos but still same issue. Any thoughts?

@Elkano So far so good Elkano, thank you for your work! Just did some change in settings, it was saved. Seen 3 groups properly as they were made years earlier!

@Elkano Elkano, thank you so much for keeping this addon going. It has been a cornerstone buff tracker for me for years.

I have to ask though, is the ability to return anchoring your bar groups to one another present currently in the addon?

I used to have my Buff bars group with the Debuff bars group anchored under them, and Tench under Debuff, so the three would always go downward, connected to one another, but never would overlay, and it does not appear to exist here in the current installment.

Lastly, I am very VERY glad to hear you're intent to return a specific spell filtering setting again. It was an absolute blessing..no pally-pun intended, getting to keep those certain "oh look this proc activated for all of 3 seconds" pop-up buffs from making a row of buff bars constantly dance between half a screen long, and being maybe 5 bars and nothing else. Lol.

Here is to the wonderful work and the dedication to a great addon, my good man! Thank you!

@Elkano - Oh, thank you for the explanation, I found it now, the group anchoring.

And what I meant by the filtering, was like previously, that you could choose what specific would show, that could be followed. Like how originally I had a group for my paladin here, that would only show me activations and procs of things like Divine Purpose, Avenging Wrath, Freedom, Divine Steed, my trinket procs/uses and so on, and nothing else.

That was what I meant in regards to filtering it for what would show specifically, while not showing all those other things like weapon procs, and other trivial buffs like weapon procs and so on.

That was what I meant by a spell filter, as you previously had with the addon, just to clarify. I am glad to hear its a component planned for the future, and will be making a return. Thank you again for the anchoring explanation. Here is to the updates to come!

我使用了最新的版本 但浮動提示的ui會不起作用 導致在看buff的說明文字時 字會小到快看不到

If anyone is keen to be using this with Forever Beta's most recent patch (the one that increased the level cap), open the 2 main files that end in .tok (ElkBuffBars.toc and ElkBuffBars_Mainline.toc) with your prefered txt editor, and replace the first line with:

## Interface: 16001

I applied this after having to do it with Titan Panel, as blizzard seem to have set some new rules.

It may cause some interface issues (havent encountered any yet), but if like me Elkano's BB are one of your needed UI addons, I was desperate.

Using latest Alpha v226, disabled that new (to me) 'Show Icon Dispel Border', but it seems setting not saved, even with a /reload set back.

Fixed in v227 Alpha version!

@SANDOR_THEHOUND_CLEGANE Forever is using the "same" code as 12.1, so the new code will likely also work with Forever. 😄 Iirc, some users already tested the latest alphas and they were working (but of cause still missing the settings UI as I stated; r226 has settings for layouts, groups is next).

I decided to play after many years of hiatus and this is one of the first mods I came looking for. So very much looking forward to using this in Forever. Thank you for keeping it going!

any plans to update this for WOW Forever?

@Elkano After the recent beta server update you have to edit the .toc files to 16001. But my real question is how do I get the bars to grow upwards instead of downwards? Older version iirc had a grow up option. I see the buff options are split into 6 tabs now. ALso you are awesome, I have used this addon for like 15 years. thanks so much.

So happy to see this addon is still being worked on! Been using it for nearly 20 years, so I'm excited to be able to start using it again soon. Having to hover over a ton of icons with the Blizzard frames to see what's what is so clunky.

1 thing I'm having issues with in the current alpha versions is trying to get the frames to fade when out of combat. I used to use King Kong frame fader for this, but since 12.0 it doesn't work anymore. The buff and debuff frames all show as <noname> and can't be configured to fade anymore. If possible, I'd like to request 1 of 2 things:

- Configure the frames with a persistent global name so UI element faders can work with them

or

- Add the ability to adjust the fading within the addon. The rest of my UI fades out of combat to about 30% opacity to save my OLED from burn-in, and I'd love to be able to configure this to fade as well.

Thanks so much!

Hey, with the lastest update to both either r225-alpha or r224-alpha it stopped working for me altogether.

I can't edit anything in the options and when it tracks a buff on a target (which is the only thing I want to track), the buffs stays and won't go away. '
And switching back to r220-alpha (which used to work until yesterday) isn't working as well, because the addon isn't appearing in the addon list.

Ok so, with last update to r224-alpha i can now see only the elkano debuff frame which seems to be working properly (i haven't yet tested it into instanced environment)

But the elkanos buff frame is gone; upon my first log in today i had the default blizzard buff frame, i tried disable all addons but elkano and LibSharedMedia-3.0

I used the script provided in another commend and:

"/print LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ElkBuffBars").db.profile.hidebuffframe" was not recognized as valid so it did nothing

"/script LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ElkBuffBars").db.profile.hidebuffframe = true" did nothing apparently but it was recognized as valid by game(?)

As stated by DarkLimpan below i used the "/dump LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ElkBuffBars").db.profile.hidebuffframe " and the result was:

"Dump: value=LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ElkBuffBars").db.profile.hidebuffframe[1]=true", still nothing happened, i still don't see buff frame, not the elkano's one nor the blizzard default one, either with only elkano's addon enabled nor with all my other addons..
