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")
Can't get the timer to show, second i can't to to use buttonfacade for it. Its checked but nothing change.
Thanks
feature request: grow buffs from left to right, and from bottom to top
feature request: target buffs/debuff frames
feature request: color buff/debuff border(or timer) by type
feature request: filter(hide) buffs/debuffs by spell ID
Thank you so much for making this addon! Bison has much cleaner code than Satrina Buff Frames!
I like the addon so far, but I've noticed a problem, and don't know if this is configurable. Proc, like Clearcasting for druids, are shown duplicated, one in the Buff frame, and one in Progs. I like them the separated way, but the one in the main buff frame becomes unnecessary. Any solution?
dont show anything to me :S
i use "ShadowedUnitFrames" but i tried without any unit frame addon and don't show buffs or debuffs, any idea?
1)fixed - changed some '<=' to '<' :)
2)fixed - english is a nice language, but german is more better^^ ;)
3)I can not reproduce this behavior. I added some SetScale() statemants, but I thing this will not fix the problem.
@markhr
Please read the short documentation on the top and deal with xPadding, yPadding and horizontal. All directions are possible.
@soopercooper
X-Perl is containing an option to move the player buff to the player frame. This Addon deactivate the Blizzard frame with this option. Please deaktivate this behavior.
@markhr
Bison will not have the possibility to consolidate all buffs and debuffs. But a docking option is on my todo list (not this year).
@Freek91
I added a option to deactivate Buttonfacade for Bison.
thank you very much for your continued work on this spectacular addon!
The buffs frame should show only buffs but display ALL buffs current on that character, i.e., without the need for any weapon, special, special weapon, special special or other frames.
The debuffs frame should show only debuffs but display ALL debuffs current on that character, i.e., again with no other debuff frames necessary.
Docking sounds nice but, uh, what's docking?
