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 got another idea for you :]
would be great if you could add an buff/debuff sort list
like this;
sort by: first : debuffs
second: auras
third: buffs
forth: items

because you only can sort by time left in your addon ;/

just create individual groups for the for types. initialy, there is a group for auras/buffs/tracking, one for debuffs and one for temporary item enchants aka tench. So just create an additional group, set it up to show eg only auras aka timeless buffs (set timeless to whitelist), set the buff group to not show those (set timeless to blacklist) and then move the groups into the order you want them.

Alrigt I have a rather signifigant problem and I don't know how to fix it. Currently I am using EBB to view slice and dice uptime in a single "group" and rupture on the second group. Both worked perfectly for a long time however for some reason recently they "dock" about an inch apart instead of directly on top of eachother like they used to. This is pushing the debuff group (rupture) into my unit frames, any idea how to change the "dock" feature?

a few suggestions (or if already implemented easier for user to configure):

1. allow us to cap the number of buffs and debuffs visible.
2. allow us to filter and/or prioritize spell types (magic, curse, etc.) and self-cast debuffs.
3. allow us to manually add filters you've missed to the list. if this isn't possible, add crippling and wound poison! i had to blacklist everything that wasn't a disease, curse or poison because these two were missing from the white list. :(

i also ran into a bug while checking everything in the black list. every time you select or deselect from the list, it alternates between scrolling to the very top and very bottom.

I also have issue with getting to many buffs so they disappear out of the screen since they are to many. So if I could get 2 columns it would be nice.

Also rotating it 90 degrees to get the horizontally would be nice.

Is it possible to half the buffs split into 2 seperate columns? Because sometimes in raids, with all the buffs and procs I have, the buff list will actually go off the screen downwards. So I was wondering if there is any way to make it stop at a point on the screen and then start listing again, next to the other column from the top.

I too have looked for this option. To sort a list of buffs by time remaining, but set the shortest duration as the anchor. This way the buff that is about to fall off and needs to be refreshed is always in the same spot on the your screen, instead of depending on how many buffs are in the stack.

I agree with the 2nd question also, would be nice to see tenths of a sec after the duration is below 10 sec.

does anyone know if it is possible to sort the buffs by time remaining but anchor on the bar with the shortest duration left?

And also get fractions of a sec in the time?

Something else I noticed after disabling EBB..... A few weeks ago, I noticed that the arrow and all waypoints in my minimap were hazy or a bit out of focus. I assumed it was something with Questhelper or Gatherer, as they were the mods it affected, but the problem went away this morning when I disabled EBB. I'm not entirely sure how EBB has any affect on the minimap, but that's two problems that were solved with disabling EBB.

The problem I have is that with Cartographer and ElkBuffBar together ElkBuffBar doesn't work. Though when I disable Cartographer no problem with EBB.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunatly, I've got no idea what's going wrong for you. :/
You could try to delete ElkBuffBars.lua(.bak) in your saved variables folder and have WoW create a new one but, well... :/

I'm still having my problem with the anchor bar showing up when I log in but I've given up on that. I'm wondering if there is a link to a basic FAQ or set of instructions for the mod and I'd like to know what I have to do to remove it completely so I can reinstall it fresh.

Right-click on the EBB button and uncheck "Hide Minimap Tracking Button".
