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")
when i have buttonfacade enabled and i shift out of ghost wolf form or cancel a buff...the space between the icons goes away and the icons are smushed together and change sizes
ive updated to the latest buttonfacade but its still not working
is there a way to just disable buttonfacade for Bison or is there a trick to getting this to work?
Please help me, i dont want to miss out of any of the addones :)
LOVE YOU
Stupid question - how do change the direction the buffs are numbered?
Currently it's from the top left corner (with a choice of filling horizontally or vertically).
I'd like it to fill from the top right corner if possible?
Ideally I should have a moveable list of buffs and a seperate moveable list of debuffs only both showing ALL current buffs and debuffs.
1)0 isn't negative, bars are swapping to filling from the left at 0.
2)"Verticale Space"
3)Running at 80% scale, mount icons are popping up at 100% sometimes. Cancelling mount causes the 4 icons to the left to become 100% Remounting returns them to 80%
function hijacked by Bison (and other Buff addons):
BuffFrame_UpdateAllBuffAnchors()
DebuffButton_UpdateAnchors()
AuraButton_UpdateDuration()
TemporaryEnchantFrame:OnUpdate()
PitBull4 do not hook these functions. PitBull4 hide all buff frames (BuffFrame, TemporaryEnchantFrame, ConsolidatedBuffs) and so all Bison frames will also by hideing. Please unckeck the option for Buffs/Debuffs on PitBull4.
thank you!!
Now I hijack the blizzard buffs and debuffs like other addon's. The only changes on the buffs are positions and duration strings. So the cancle buff works correct.
The memory leak should be gone after removing some wrong code.
Please check for other addon's hijacking the buffs and debuffs. This could be getting race conditions on position of the buffs.
I play a priest and actual I get no problems on my interface.
