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

I can not take off buffs. And these are buffs I can usually take off like path of ice.

Still looking to how set the scale of the buffbars
Looks like a little big for my eyes
In the previous versions, there was the /eb scale X commanda
Can't find it now
How do I proceed to change the overall scale of the elkano buff bars?

Is there a way to show Icon with just the time next to it without the bars?

Such as: [ICON]2:30

sure, you'll just have to set it up correctly:
- disable status bar and background bar
- set topright text to hidden
- set topleft text to timeleft
- set topleft text align to right (if you want)
- adjust width

Hi there, just a quick question for Death Knight "Presences", is there any way to display the active Presence/Aura as Buff-Bar?

If it would show in Blizzard's buffs it should also show in EBB. Other ways: No.

Hi, I may be being a total idiot, but the only bar I can see is my track humanoids bar when in cat. Combed through the options, made new bars, checked to see if it was on standby, and can't find a thing to make it work. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!

Did you try to disable all other addons? if it will work then, it could be another addon messing things up.

Hello!
I was wondering if there is a way to change the bar timers for me to also show milliseconds as right now the lowest unit of time I have available are seconds. I have the latest version and can't seem to tinker with it to get it to show ms.

Awesome mod and thanks a ton!

I used Elks Buff Bars since now for buffs and debuffs of the target too.
But since 3.0 the debuff list of targets in raids become so excessive that even at 1050px vertical space and a bar size of 10 the debuff list goes over the whole screen (from north to south). Is there a way to set a limit of shown buffs/debuffs? something like >30 buffs or so

Hey Elkano, I am a big fan of this mod, been using it for some time now. :) I've got a question for you. Since 3.02 I have had an issue where I have to manually add each buff or debuff to the appropriate slot. Is there a way to set it so that they are automatically added?

Seems like you somehow activated the whitelist filter. Uncheck everything in that filter and it should stop to apply that filter.

I am having a small problem with this addon.

If I set up "Track Low Level Quests" and then shift into Cat Form, it puts up Track Humanoids instead and I have to re-set Low Level Quests as an option. However, when I do this the buff still says "Track Humanoids" but the icon will change. This is mostly a minor annoyance and not anything game-breaking but I Thought I would report it nonetheless.
