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

Hi Elkano!
I've been using your addon for a while now and I'd really like to see it updated for 3.2. I've already changed the .toc file but I'd like to suggest that you allow users to configure their own events through EBB.

For instance, I know that my treants last 30 seconds, but I have no way of monitoring this. Or that when I proc Eclipse, it's on cooldown for 30 seconds. I also have a limited number of ways to monitor this. So the ability to start customized bars on spellcast or proc would be really helpful.

it works if you allow out of date addons in the addon tab (bottom left of screen) before you select your character after you log into your realm

Since there were no API changes wrt buffs/debuffs there is no need for an update. I tend to not push simple TOC increases...

Are you sure, Elkano? Because since the patch my buffs either dont show anymore, or several buffs just freeze at some point (Timer on buffs stops, and buffs never fade).

Hey Elkano!

First of all great job on this addon!

But I've got a quite big problem at the moment with the localization.
I want to set specific buffs at one bar, for example : Slice and Dice for my rogue, the problem is, there is no german translation for it, called "Zerhäckseln" (Slice and Dice). Only a few skills are translated into my client language. For example, when I look for Vanish, I find both , Vanish and the german word "Verstohlenheit".

How do I set buffs for my language manualy, so they show up in the bar when I gain them. I've looked in the white list, but as I said , most of them are english and therefore my client doesen't recognize them.

There is an option to overwrite them, but this doesen't work for my neither, it just change the name of the buffs name but not the actuall skill that its detect.

Thanks in advance!
Help is much appreciated

This sounds strange since the spell list for white/blacklist are populated when the buffs are encountered ingame.
Or are you using some kind of UI compilation that had such groups preset? Since that's the only case I can think how the English names could slip in there on a German client.

Yes, thats right! It's from a compilation. I did update it manualy again from this page but maybe I have to set EBB up fresh and new (cleaning Interface and WTF EBB Files).

I will try this now!

Thank you.

Allright, I've set EBB new up but now it become even worst.
The white list is almost empty, it only shows my current buffs like my mount and the 1kw buff, as soon as I use a skill it, suddenly pops up in the white list but everything is gone again when I relogg =/

That's working as intended.
As I said it will only store auras seen during the current session as possible white/blacklist objects.
If you select one it should stay over the relog though.

Just solved it. your tip gave me an idea, and it worked. Typed /ebb and it popped up a bunch of macros. The one that fixed it for me was /ebb standby. :D Thanks again!

I messed up like Nemezote and Angelnl did, but if you type in /ebb config it will bring up the menu for it.

Hope this helps!

I was lookin through the settings after installin this add-on, and i accidentally hit Disable and now i can't access it at all. I lost the bars itself and the little icon around my mini-map. I've tried disabling/enabling, deleting/re-downloading/installing and it still doesn't show. Any ideas??

I still have Blizz's default buffs with this mod. I've tried deleting the Blizz interface folders and still no luck.
Checked all other mods but still not sure if it is a different mod interfering.

Check EBB's options. If "Hide Blizzard's buffs" is checked, then some other addon is showing them again after EBB hid them.
