BetterPowerBarAlt
The button in the Ultraxion and Madness of Deathwing encounters is not the same as the power bars in previous raids! This addon will do nothing for those. Luckily I do have another addon (BetterExtraActionButton) for moving that button :p
Makes the PlayerPowerBarAlt frame movable. This is the frame for quests and instance encounters that show a power bar specific to the event. This includes sound on Atramedes, corruption on Cho'gall, Lord Rhyolith's direction, and feathers on Alysrazor as well as the counter and timer bar used in Dark Moon Faire games.
There is no config. Right click on the frame to make it movable, then drag it to where you want and right click again to lock it in place. While it is unlocked, you can also use your mouse wheel over the frame to adjust it's scale and reset it back to its default scale by pressing the middle mouse button.
You can toggle showing the status text by holding shift and left clicking on the frame. By default the status text will show when mousing over the bar.
To adjust it outside of a raid encounter, you can type /bpba toggle and it will show a fake bar so you can set it up how you like it.
If you find the frame some place it shouldn't be, you can type /bpba reset to move it to the center of screen.
And if you find yourself accidentally clicking on it all the time, you can type /bpba lock to make it ignore clicks.
A quick note: Unit frame addons like to disable the bar (to show on your player frame), so if you're not seeing it, that's more than likely why.

Posted Feb 10, 2012Is it normal that I have to move it every time it appears on every character, or same character every time. It's really annoying having it in the middle of the screen and having to move it each time.

Posted Dec 4, 2011Just so everyone is clear on this: Ultraxion and Madness of Deathwing buttons are not the same as the power bars in previous raids! This addon will do nothing for those. I do have another addon (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/betterextraactionbutton) for moving the button, or Bartender can do it, aswell.

Posted Nov 30, 2011Just to drop a quick note about 4.3: Raids aren't affected at all, but Murozond (the last boss of the End Time dungeon) may have a clicking feature on the power bar. I'll look into it once I get a little more time.

Posted Nov 9, 2011I haven't played on the PTR, but just looking at file changes, it seems that the button frame is a new thing, called ExtraActionBarFrame (the button being ExtraActionButton1) which is tied to the main action button bar (and already has a BT4 module). I checked on UnitPowerBarAlt, but nothing was added to allow clicking, so I'm fairly certain nothing needs to be updated to prevent breakage come 4.3.
I did throw something together to make the new bar movable (dry-coded copy/paste) so I'll commit that after I have time to make sure its not horribly broken >.>
Are there any new quests (new DMF, maybe?) that use the new button? would make it pretty easy for me to test it~ (I'm kind of lazy, btw)

Posted Nov 9, 2011Great response, thanks much!
I'll keep an eye on this page for updates on that feature.
Unfortunatly I don't know of any other uses for that button at the moment. I was surprised when I saw it was there during Ultraxion. I've gotten used to ignoring that bar as a rule, but I guess I can't get away with that anymore.

I'll probably add support for moving around the new frame when 4.3 comes out and the button pops up in the middle of my UI :p

Posted Oct 19, 2011More of a warning than anything else. But Dragon Soul has two bosses that will require "clicking" as part of the AltPowerBar, Ultraxion and the last boss, Madness of Deathwing. I can test if your mod still works the next time either of those bosses come up. But I'm just trying to give a heads up.
During Ultraxion, the Ability "Heroic Will" (http://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=106108) will be clickable from the Power Aura
During Madness of Deathwing, "Dream" (http://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=106466) will be clickable from the Power Aura
