Elkano's BuffBars

Table of Contents

EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.

Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.

Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.

In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Since Fedlolis opened a corresponding issue, let's investigate this there: issue 190

Ok so I have been playing WoW since Wrath but for some reason setting this addon up confuses me. I have no idea of what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Still experiencing the same issue I was having back when I posted on the 12th of November, that the /ebb command is not working and giving me any ability to configurate the addon.

Just wanted to keep the bug known

The /ebb command aswell as the /ebb config command to open the options window doesn't appear to be working currently. Just figure I'd make it known

Hello!

Would be nice to have an option to hide default Blizzard's buffs/debuffs on Target/Focus frames.

Thanks 😊

I might just be missing it, but is there a way to filter by cast source? Aka: I want to make a set of debuff bars for debuffs from anyone, and one set just for things that are self-triggered. I see the option to whitelist self-cast, but does that blacklist everything else? (I hope that makes sense) I'm getting to try/learn new mods thanks to DF.

In reply to Spennig:

Setting self-cast to whitelist means a (de)buff must have been cast by yourself (units PLAYER, PET or VEHICLE) to show in that group.

Setting it to blacklist has the opposite effect, i.e. it must not have been cast by yourself but some other unit.

Thanks! Will whitelisting self-cast, prevent casts from others being shown, then, or just ensure mine show?

EBB's filter system works such that entries must pass all filters set. If they fail any they won't be shown in that group.

And since for passing the self-cast whitelist spells must have been cast by yourself, it indeed prevents casts from others being shown.

Using the r204-alpha build. Everything seems fine, no LUA errors, but I've lost the ability to right-click on my buffs to remove them. Anybody else experiencing this?

Removing buffs still works as well as it did before, i.e. not in combat. 😢

I'm not in combat. I've disabled every addon except Elkano's BuffBars to make sure it isn't something interfering with it and it still will not allow me to right click a buff to remove it. I can unhide Blizzard's buff icons and right click the same buff (the Blizzard icon, not the EBB one) and it removes it. I even deleted the settings in the WTF folder to start fresh and the problem still persists. Tried rolling back to the previous version (r203-alpha) but it's doing the same thing.

Then it's strange indeed. And if you didn't change any settings (like click-through) the only other thing that would come to my mind would be another frame overlapping and catching the clicks, e.g. due to the new Blizzard UI.

Are other click actions working, e.g. alt-click to toggle config mode or shift-click to paste the buff into chat? Or opening the tracking options?

In case you are in the CF Discord, feel free to reach out to me.

That's exactly what I was thinking (possible overlapping frame), so I moved the bar group all over the screen to various spots and it didn't solve the issue. Alt-left clicking the anchor does activate configuration mode. But Shift-clicking a buff to paste into chat doesn't work.

I wouldn't worry about this if nobody else is having this issue. I think I'm going to try to get used to the old buff icons for now. Thank you!

Having the same issue in retail. Unable to cancel any buffs. All addons except EBB have been disabled, in town, not in combat. Shift or Alt clicking a buff don't do anything. I am able to alt-click the anchor itself to enter configuration mode. All options for the buff frame are default, including leaving "Disable Mouse" unchecked. There are no other frames in the way when inspecting via fstack

Edit: Looks like i found a fix/workaround. I had to register RightButonUp on line 595 of ElkBuffBars.lua to get canceling of buffs to work.

595: button:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonDown", "RightButtonDown", "RightButtonUp")
