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

Thanks for updating this addon, I can't without. Only problem I have now is changing the font. I downloaded SharedMedia (the lib and addon) but I can't find an option in the addon's settings. What am I doing wrong?

Fonts are selected separately for each group's four text positions in the group's bar layout.

Thank god. I thought you weren't going to update this. This has been my favorite buff bar addon since you released it. I have used it for years. Got a little worried there. Thanks again.

Hey Elkano,

I am seeing my buff/debuff bars while in config mode...but when I have buffs/debuffs they are not showing up. Also, it seems like there are no buffs/debuffs listed anymore in the settings? I am not really sure what happened. What do I need to do, just delete and re-download?

Thanks! <3

Great addon, but causes an issue where the minimap tracking button disappears entirely. I had to uninstall because of this.

It moves the tracking button to a "buff" called tracking. It's still there it's most moved over. :)

Click the buff to select which thing to track.
