About Aura Frames

Aura Frames allows you to display any kind of buff or debuff on any given unit with highly customizable filtering, ordering, coloring and animation functionality.

The "engine" behind the screens is the LibAura that is specific written for AuraFrames that provide aura information over all the units and even more. It also include information over internal cooldowns, spell cooldowns, totems, weapon enchantments, testing units and more.

The filtering, ordering and coloring is unique. No addon has ever approach Aura Frames with the way the internal system is working. The most important difference is that Aura Frames is not checking realtime aura's on all properties but is generating real lau code blocks based on filtering, ordering and coloring that are parsed by WoW/Lua and are executed as native lua functions (for non nerds: its fast)!

It supports currently 3 ways of displaying aura's. Button, bar or timeline style.

Supporting the following sources:

  • Buffs and Debuffs on any unit (your self, target, pet etc)
  • Weapon enchantments
  • Spell cooldowns
  • Spell cooldowns of your pet
  • Item cooldowns
  • All internal item cooldowns (with a self learing functionality to detect the cooldown times)
  • Mouse over
  • Test unit
  • Totems
  • Boss Mods (DXE and DBM are currently supported)

Feature highlights:

  • Support for multiple ways of displaying aura's
  • Unlimited amount of containers to order and display aura's
  • Advanced filtering configuration
  • Advanced ordering configuration
  • Duration can be displayed in multiple ways
  • Customizable animation system that can be triggered by multiple events
  • Shared Madia support for bar textures and fonts
  • Masque (ButtonFacade) support for button and bar
  • Support for cancel buffs in combat

Console commands:

  • /af - Open the Aura Frames configuration (also available from the interface menu)
  • /affixdb - Tries to fix your Aura Frames database, use this before /afreset if you have problems (the addon need a /reloadui after this command)
  • /afreset - Will reset your whole database. Use this only if you have big problems

TIP: Shift right click an aura to dump the properties to the chat window. This will help you to create filters. (This only works when an container can be clicked).

    how can i combine the buffs like in the standart ui?

  • #343

    My new favorite buff mod since I've returned and Satrina is gone, and it managed to even replace another mod or two in the same stroke!

    Would it be possible for AuraFrames to ever have support for GHI (Gryphonheart Items) buffs? It has an option to display these in the blizzard frame and I know some unit frames have support for those buffs, but AF having it would make a truly amazing mod really something next level.

    Container for just a select few spells!?

    Hello,

     

    I'm trying to make it so it just shows me Slice and Dice, Recuperate and Shadow Blades, for PvP purposes. I'm unable to do this for some reason.. I go into filters and set it to expert, and i remove all the rules. I set rules for Spell id = true = [enter slice and dice here] for example, or whatever that rule is, it doesn't work. The container still shows all my buffs (poisons, alch prof flask, stealth, etc)

     

    Any help here?

     

    PS: I have a container for target debuffs too, and I've set it to just stuff from me. However I'd like to block a few things, like Master Poisoner.. whatever I do doesn't work..

    Here's what is currently working for me for self buffs (SnD, recup, etc.):

    Under sources check "Buffs on yourself" and then in expert mode on the filter use "Spell name" "equal" followed by the name of the buff you want to track, unless you know the spell IDs very well it's faster to use the name.

     

    And for debuffs:

    "Debuffs on your target" checked in sources then in filter set "Cast by me" equal to true AND "Spell name" equal to what you want to track or "in list" if you have more than one debuff you want to track in a single container.

  • #341

    This addon is a must have for me. Absolutely one of my favs. Thanks to much. Is it possible to have a visibility condition for when I have a target?

  • #339

    This addon is simply perfect. It serves so many needs that I can't see the game without it, srsly.

    But I got a problem with Cancel Combat Aura module. ExActly, I see only white icon borders and tooltips in the CCA window, but no icons themselves, which makes navigation not that easy.

    Well, there is one error message when I press CCA hotkey the first time.

    Good to hear you like the addon.

    Please try the last alpha version of the addon, your problem should been fixed. The issue only happen when you didn't have Masque installed, this if now fixed.

  • #338

    I just wanted to thank you for this addon.

    I use to be an avid fan of Satrina Buff Frames, but as you know.. It has been out of wack for the last couple years. I appreciate Fatherofnine for extending it's demise, as long as he did. But it was honestly, a lost cause.

    I love, love this addon. As it allowed me todo something that most other addons of this sort would not. And that is to incorporate Target of Target Debuffs into my current UI. I'm not the sort of tank to lay trust into what boss mod addons are telling me. I want to actually see how many stacks my offtank might have of certain debuffs.

    Very good workings here. Thank you x 1,000,000.

  • #337

    This addon is awesome except for the fact that it doesn't keep the blizzard consolidate buff thing. That's really annoying.

  • #334

    hi everyone, wanted to shout out that I love this addon, great job

    I did have one question.  is there any way to get the buffs to Center justify?  everythign appears to be only left or right justification of some form or another.

  • #335

    Hey,

    Great to hear you like the addon, always nice to see. That's one of the reasons I made this addon. About your question, it is indeed not supported atm, we are working hard on Aura Frames 2.0 and we want to implement this into the new version.

    We hope to start releasing beta's of Aura Frames 2.0 within 1-2 months. Sorry for the long delay.

  • #336

    no prob.  i used to use satrian's as i wanted more customization.  but SBF has limitations and is not very user friendly.  if in 2.0 you could make these as customizable as possible...well...hail to the king.

  • #332

    When setting up two containers, one to track all buffs >= 14 sec and one to track all buffs < 14 sec .  When the buff goes below 14 sec and then is refreshed above 14 sec when it leaves the container the mod doesn't reset the positioning back for the rest of the < 14 sec buffs. It just leaves a blank spot.

    Also when I had both containers set to 10 secs and Lock and load would proc I would get this error, just happened with Lock and Load.

  • #333

    Hey,

    Could you try out alpha r425 to see if it's fixed? I think I know what cause it but I can't reproduce the problem myself.

  • #329

    How can I use the Avatar and the 'Potion of Brawler's Might' cooldown? The other cds i want are working.
