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

Was wondering if the interface is going to be brought up to date with other mods. The zillion pull down menu interface is the hardest to use. The dialog box style is so much easier.

The other is the whitelist has so many things in it, it goes off the screen.

I downloaded your addon through a UI pack and i really like it, but it seems the author removed totems, moonkin form and some other buffs from the interface because they ain't showing and i can't seem enable them to show up under my buffs either.
Where can i change these things?

I have been using EBB since TBC and I've had a rather glaring problem with it for a long time.

When I mouse over my current debuffs, the tooltip display is blank. Is there any way to fix?

I have a small suggestion that would help me out immensely. Is there any way you could have an option to show 'who' cast the buffs (when they're not self cast obviously). I just think it would be really nice to be able to see who put a certian buff on me because I hate getting into a pug and having a certian set of Blessings on me and wanting a different blessing but not knowing which Paladin gave me the wrong buff. Im sure im not the only person that has asked for a specific buff only to lose a current, also needed buff. And if this is at all possible it would be nice if there would be a mouse hover option so that the name of the buff/debuff caster is only displayed when you hover your mouse over that specific buff/debuff.

I'd suggest installing Utopia -> http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/utopia.aspx
not only will it add the caster to the tooltips but will also update the values based on their talents. (plus some other nice stuff)

The "Blessing of Demonstration" empty buff signifier was bothering the hell out of me, so dug up a solution from this thread. It works, so I thought I'd repost and lobby for an option setting. This would be an easy setting to add and help folks out who are trying to maximize screen real estate.

If there's already an option and I'm too brain dead to have found it, please forgive me. :-) Though in analyzing the code, there doesn't seem to be a test for an option setting.

The solution is to comment out the following lines in the EBB addon file named EBB_BarGroup.lua

Add two dashes to the start of the lines that look like this:
if self.layout.anchorshown and #data < 1 then
table_insert(data, DEMO_BUFF)
end

to look like this:
-- if self.layout.anchorshown and #data < 1 then
-- table_insert(data, DEMO_BUFF)
-- end

Or delete them.

Regards

On my Death Knight, I'm having problems with EBB loading and displaying correctly when used in conjunction with other mods. EBB is working fine on all my other characters except Death Knight with these addons.

Addons are Prat, Chatter, and Dominos. Would it be a problem with EBB or with those addons? :/

it doesnt sticky to each other if you place them side by side, that was one of the main feature requests (glad it stickies to each other from top to bottom)...also what about the roman numeral option bit?

how do you get the minimalistic layout? also i have 2 feature requests: one is to have an option to change the roman numerals to alphanumeric style and two is to have groups "sticky" to other groups (for example if i were to have weapon imbues such as 2 poisons on a rogue and i want it to move WITH my buff group so you constantly see it go up and down in combat, that would be something special. the stickying would also ensure that if you have 2 groups side by side that they are flushed perfectly with no real hassle!)

and by going up and down, it's factoring in you getting a bunch of procs throughout the fights or temp buffs from other classes.

for the minimalistc layout, you just have to set them up that way.
- disable the statusbar
- disable the name text
- shrink the width a bit

and for sticking to each other, they already do if you place one close under the other.
