Elkano's BuffBars
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

Posted Aug 13, 2006Also getting the same anchor problem as the guy below heres my picture show,
all the while the mod showed anchor as being bottomright. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/553/exampleol9.jpg
edit: what i did to bandaid the problem was this, i made a macro that has /ebb anchor topright /ebb anchor bottomright
used supermacro's RunMacro('ebb') command in a dab onevent script(variables loaded) this means that whenever variables are loaded the macro is run resetting the anchor to bottom right. hope that helps anyone for the time being.

Posted Aug 10, 2006I've already coded it into my working copy, I'm only fixing afew other issues I had before releasing this. Until then locate it's svade variables file ( World of Warcraft\wtf\Account\<account name>\SavedVariables\ElkBuffBar.lua and delete the values for x and y. this should reset it to the center of the screen.

Posted Aug 10, 2006Thinking I would rather use the Gypsy Buffbar, I put my trusty ElkBuffBar under my titanpanel...
Then found out gypsybuffbar doesn't display weapon poisons.
So, now I couldn't drag my EBB out from under my Titan panel, and then I messed with the slash commands for awhile and now I can't find it at all.
Then, I deleted it and redownloaded... To no avail, it still won't show.
Could you possibly add in a /ebb reset commandline to reset the EBB to the default position? Thanks

Posted Aug 10, 2006I'm currently looking into a rewrite using ACE2 which will make some changes a lot easier. Having seperate lists for buffs/debuffs/tempbuffs is pland for that, too.

Posted Aug 4, 2006Some feature requests:
- An option to change the text size of the Buff name. - An option to change the colour of different types of buffs (I'd really like "Combustion" to stand out in some way). - The ability to place the buff frame and the debuff frame in different places (make them seperate frames).
Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Posted Jul 21, 2006The only way (for me) to have the buff/debuff poping form bottom to top is to tip: /ebb anchor topleft/right /ebb anchor bottomleft/right
invert doesn't do anything...

Posted Jul 21, 2006Hi Elkano, dein Buff Mod ist wirklich großartig, allerdings hätte ich eine Bitte an Dich! Könntest du bitte noch die Möglichkeit einbauen, dass man die Namen der Buffs/Debuffs ausblenden kann? Und das am Besten noch getrennt für Buffs und Debuffs! Dann wäre dein Mod imho noch besser! Eine Option, um die Textgröße zu verändern könnte auch nicht schaden. :)

Posted Jul 21, 2006that's not anchor but invert :) anchor simply sets the corner that will stay in place but doesn't change the way the buffs are aligned. invert will align the buffs from bottom to top but won't schange the sticky corner. so try /ebb invert true

Posted Jul 21, 2006hmm, I don't get the problem. So /ebb shows the corrct anchor even after login? or does it then show the default? What is the behavior you're getting and what's the behavior you expect?
edit: tested it on my client and was working even over logouts :/ so most likely you expecting it to work in a different way

Posted Jul 21, 2006The code to hide Blizzard's is in and working. So ElkBuffBar actualy hides them. Unfortunatly there seem to be a lot of addons that force to show them if they aren't hiding them themselves. Do you have anything like MoveAnything, CT, ... installed that would possibly also hide these icons but is set to not do so?

Posted Jul 11, 2006Da gibt es nichts zu beheben, da invert genau das machen soll (das Verhalten ist übrigens bei invert true und nicht invert false). Dem Verschieben kann man entgegenwirken, indem man anchor auf z.B. bottomright stellt, so dass die untere rechte Ecke der Buffbars an der selben Stelle bleibt.

Posted Jul 9, 2006Hey, wenn ich /ebb invert False einstelle, dann kommen neue Buffs nach oben, dafür rutscht der buff, der schon da war eine stelle nach unten...somit verschiebt alles immer :o
