Now Bison use the same method like other addons by hijacking the Blizzard buff and debuff elements. So the cancel buff works well on these version.
I loved the addon SurgeTrack, but its dead. So I start my own surge bar :). I can not play all classes, so I inserted a limited count of temporary buffs. Blizzard show some of these as auras around the avatar. You can enable the spell id's on the buff bar, to find the id's of missing buffs (I need your help).
knowing addons with modules hiding buff frames
You should deactive the option for hiding Blizzard Buff/Debuff frames.
- Pitbull4 - Module "Hide Blizzard frames" (option 'Buff/Debuff')
- X-Perl - Module "Player Buffs" (folder 'Player' subframe 'Player Buffs' on top right)
- ShadowedUnitFrames - Module "Hide Blizzard" (option "hide buff frames", at last "/console reloadui")
In any case, it's better than nothing.
I hate ButtonFacade^^. I will lock for this problem later.
@zachncst
Did you use the latest version. I fixed this on 2.1.9. On my own interface I can move any frame correcly. To reset Bison please use the profile reset feature.
@Rawlii
You can change the direction for growing by using negaiv values for xPadding and yPadding!
Minor side note, fixing the canceling buffs feature should be a high priority. Copying and pasting is viable but it's a big pain in the ass.
But howcome buttonfacade skin reset everytime you relog, or reloadui? /cry
- buttonfacade skins
- timer positions (i have gap set to0 yet timers are initially drawn on the buff icons
i know i should open a bug report, i'm just lazy, please forgive me
the times were under the icons in 2.17, skins were still messed up though, and from 2.18 on, the times went back over the icons.
also as you can see in the screenshot as of 2.19, just like the above poster resiam said, it seems to be enabling the blizzard bars on mine as well.
either way, thanks for the hard work on this and trying to iron out all the bugs. very much appreciated
ButtonFacade do not have a layer for timeleft. I was using the name layer. This layer place ButtonFacade to the bottom of the button.
A layer timeleft got a problem with all skins. He do not effect on any font. ButtonFacade do not know a default font.
