Lately I have been receiving many e-mails from users asking me to update this mod. And now, I'm happy to say that an updated version is in development. Please post comments with any suggestions or requests you may have.
@HatteSoul I was unaware of this issue. I may be seeking your assistance when I'm further along with SB3 to ensure that it's fully compatible with the German client.
@Aztik This shouldn't require any modifications to make it compatible with the 2.0.7 or 2.0.8 patch.
@Lokhy Yes, PT3 will be embedded in the next version.
@Kindar SacredBuff 3 will be a complete rewrite from scratch. I might implement a few of the concepts from 'Cryolysis: Reborn', but I'm not making many promises. What features would you like to see taken out of Cryo?
I was wondering... are you going to build the new version of SB off of the newest version of Nec or are you going to basically make it up yourself? Because as a user of both (and Cryolysis: Revived) there are things that I would love to see taken from them and put into this... anywho just a question :)
[quote]SacredBuff uses the PeriodicTable library to detect mounts. If your mount isn’t being detected, it’s because its item ID is not yet in the PeriodicTable library. Chances are good though, that the version of PT that I used in SB is simply out-dated. This will be easily fixed in 3.0. Same with flying mounts./quote
do you mean that you gonna use PT3 in the next version?
Sorry for my apparent absence. So many reputations to grind, so little time. But now that the initial excitement over TBC has worn off, I'm slowly getting more time to mod. I've already started to develop SacredBuff 3.0, but I don't have an ETA on when it will be finished and released. Since 2.0 was released pre-TBC, I actually wrote it in a way that would only allow one button for a talent spell, so currently there is no easy way to make two buttons (one for the 31-point and one for the 41-point talents).
My goal for 3.0 isn't necessarily to add new features, but simply to make it more "forgiving" and easier to change. I refrain from calling it "customizable" because I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. This will still not be a resurrection of Serenity. It will never be. It's designed to be a mod to simplify buffing, not to cover all Priest spells. I did receive a suggestion to write a mod called "SacredHeal", which would handle the Healing spells rather than the Buff spells, but I still need to think on that, and fix this first.
With all that out of the way, I'll try to quickly address the comments on this page:
@Dope-Johnny “Grid†is a mod for healers that efficiently shows the health of everyone in the raid and makes them easy to heal. It includes aggro-indicators along with indicators showing if someone already has a heal being casted on them. For more information, see http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5747-Grid.html . The only way this mod could cause SacredBuff to error is if it’s using a library that conflicts with the version of the library that my mod. This is usually fixed by updating your libraries to the latest version.
@OJankano Provide me with a Spanish translation and I’ll certainly add it immediately.
@Sare0815 I’ll think about adding a Power Word: Shield button, or the capability to add one. No promises though.
@Arisjanna Did Uzochi’s fix work for you?
@Uzochi Thanks for the contribution. I’ll try to make a cleaner fix though in 3.0.
@Cynn You don’t require any additional addons for SacredBuff to work. You don’t have to download Ace2, it’s already embedded. Also, this mod should work just fine with Titan Panel. Titan Panel isn’t even the same thing as Ace2. Titan is a mod, Ace2 is a framework that mods are built upon. There shouldn’t be an issue.
@Cypsyan The kind of change you’re suggesting can’t be made without modifying a significant amount of the code and its order of execution.
@HatteSoul Unfortunately, your fix wouldn’t really change anything. The RANK variable in my code is a global variable defined by Blizzard that stands for the word “Rank†in any language. So adding a second string.find for “Rank†after searching the same string for RANK would return the exact same variable if it’s an English client, and nothing if it’s not an English client.
@Sylicium SacredBuff uses the PeriodicTable library to detect mounts. If your mount isn’t being detected, it’s because its item ID is not yet in the PeriodicTable library. Chances are good though, that the version of PT that I used in SB is simply out-dated. This will be easily fixed in 3.0. Same with flying mounts.
@Pinsel I’m going to need more details to solve your problem. What other mods are you running?
im trying to make modification for myself as a shadow draenei priest adding disease and dispel and symbol of hope maybe if the author allow me ill send some update
I just got Vampiric Touch on my priest and it took the spot where Shadowform was in Sacred buff. It worked fine before i got vampiric touch, is this normal? I'd like my shadowform button back :)
I used Serenity and since the patches and BC have been looking for it. This is the closest thing to it. I d/l it but I can't use it because it require Ace 2 and I use Titian. Is there any way this can be made to use with Titian?
I don't think anyone actually complained about this mod or said it was useless. as a matter of fact...
It was said that Eternally777 is doing a fantastic job on this mod. It was requested that he add more customization abilities much like you have asked he do. You don't need to attack people for making request as that is what this sort of thing is for.
OH and if I had any time or any idea how to code it I may very well do just that.
The mod I used to use called Serenity is just like this only the buttons are customizable. To be honest it's more like Cryolisis, Totemus. Valentes ((I think that's the hunter one) but has not been updated in many months someone keeps saying the Serenity became this one... But that's not the case this one as the author states is a smaller less complicated does specific things and has very little customization to it. I keep hoping someone will resurrect the Serenity mod but to date nothing... so far...
since I've learned shadow protection rank 4, the sacredbuff sphere doesn't appear on my screen and I've got the following Error-Message (german client, "Fehler" = Error):
Fehler: attempt to compare string with number AddOn: SacredBuff Datei:SacredBuff.lua Zeile:424 Fehler Nummer:1
As far as I know Grid is a part of the Klik MOD. It's in the addons list as Klik Grid I think. At least that is the only thing I can think of that has anything like what you are asking..
@Eternally777:
Now I know you wanted a less memory intensive version of the Priest mod Serenity and that is what SacredBuff is... But is it at all possible that perhaps since you are doing such a fantastic job on this, you could please update Serenity.. I miss the functionality it provided so much.

@HatteSoul /sign - That's exactly what I found out.

I use the german client. I start it with /sb and it tells me Add on is running, but I see no display.
Problem with french client BC:
I don't see the Bloodelven's mount icon (Faucon-Pérégrin "color" (violet/noir/rouge))
Edit: It's ok, but only after passing lvl 41, not at lvl 40
Working fine for me, English client. Version - r25931 - Changelog.
if anyone can help me founding out where to change the part about right click so i can assign another spell instead of self casting thx a lot
im trying to make modification for myself as a shadow draenei priest adding disease and dispel and symbol of hope maybe if the author allow me ill send some update
I just got Vampiric Touch on my priest and it took the spot where Shadowform was in Sacred buff. It worked fine before i got vampiric touch, is this normal? I'd like my shadowform button back :)
I tried relogging and that didnt work either.
I used Serenity and since the patches and BC have been looking for it. This is the closest thing to it. I d/l it but I can't use it because it require Ace 2 and I use Titian. Is there any way this can be made to use with Titian?
Thanks - keep up the good work!

Hi! I've got a little problem...
since I've learned shadow protection rank 4, the sacredbuff sphere doesn't appear on my screen and I've got the following Error-Message (german client, "Fehler" = Error):
Fehler: attempt to compare string with number AddOn: SacredBuff Datei:SacredBuff.lua Zeile:424 Fehler Nummer:1
As dirty fix you can outcomment "Prayer of Shadowprotection" in line 41:
Change:
"[ BS["Shadow Protection"] ] = false,"
to
"--[ BS["Shadow Protection"] ] = false,"
You will lose your Shadow Protection in your SacredBuff, but win a SacredBuff ;)
Problem seems to be in the "find spell" function: "if not tbl then tbl = { i, spellRank, manaCost, spellName } else if tbl[2]
@Brockman:
As far as I know Grid is a part of the Klik MOD. It's in the addons list as Klik Grid I think. At least that is the only thing I can think of that has anything like what you are asking..
