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")
@submit If you want a other directions use negativ values for xPadding or yPadding.
is there an option to allow the buff to stack from the left to right?
Thanks in advance.
I got the problem to. when I lock my buffs icons to the position I want them, they move to their initial position. In the Bison 2.1.4-release - ive tryed disable all other addons, reinstalled, deleted folder and installed and still the same lock problem. this also happens if i try to make any settings change,
I also noticed that when i did a fresh install they bars when i try to move em, gets stuck on the mouse and i cant let go of em unless i exit wow, cant use the mouse at all.
heres ascreenshot of the debug mode - http://billedeupload.dk/upload/files/2010-10/f7879a18.png
it says BISON_UPDATE nil. (Note: i know i used 2.1.6 cata - on the screenshot - but it does it in 2.1.4 to.) I hope you can fix this and great job so far - the addon is one of my fav.

fixed ButtonFacade
fixed problem with commandline
2.1.5

2.1.6
only to recreate new zip files
On wowace I wait for the 2.1.5-release.
Only the nolib version was creating last night. :(
I just dl'd the version on wowace. It seems to work fine...except that when I lock my buffs icons to the position I want them, they move to their initial position. Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks a ton.

When you click on the "box" to move the Buffs/debuffs/weapon, this one can't be placed because the "box" is anchored to the mouse pointer and you can't lock it.
