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).

    Ticket made.

  • #230

    Is Aura Frames still compatible with Masque?  I am unable to skin Aura Frames using any default Masque skins or Masque: Darion.  Check the screenshot for a quick look:

    http://i.imgur.com/pxpgE.png

    I realize that this addon says it is compatible with ButtonFacade and not Masque but, ButtonFacade has long been replaced by Masque so I'm just curious as to what is actually supported.

    Thanks.

  • #231

    Thanks for pointing out that I didn't update the description. Done now. Masque is fully supported. Looking at your screenshot it looks like the support for Masque is working correctly but that an other addon is adding it. Try disabling all addons except for Aura Frames and for Masque and the skins and see if you still have the problem, after that you can start enabling one addon at the time and check if the problem starts to identify the "problem" addon.

    If this is not working for you, please make a ticket including a full list of all addons and their versions (you can do this easily from the Curse client if you are using it). 

  • #233

    Thanks for the quick reply!  Unfortunately, with Aura Frames and Masque as the only two addons enabled (and currently up-to-date) the issue is still present.

    I'll open a ticket.

  • #229

    Is there anyway to add the option to display buffs and debuffs on your focus target?

  • #232

    Check "container" > Sources > Expert

  • #226

    Could someone point me in the right direction in how to setup AF to show enchant/trinket ICDs?

    There is no way to know ICD's, and Aura Frames does not ship with a static list of all known ICD's. so no, aura frames does not support this. Maybe some day tho.

  • #221

    Positively love this add-on. It is highly flexible and very easy to layout and configure. I have a few things I'd like to do that, after much working on it, don't think is possible with Aura Frames, but seems like it should be. If you scope out my screenshot:

    http://silhouetteguild.com/images/screenshot-2012.jpg

    You'll see I am tracking Beacon of Light. I am using Xorcist to do this (where all my other buff frames are AF), but would prefer to drop that and just use Aura Frames. I can get AF to do it, but only if I am, say, throwing BoL on my focus, in which case I make a frame for buffs by me on my focus, but this isn't what I want to do. I'd also like to run something similar for Prayer of Mending on my priest, and have the same problem since the buff moves around the raid. Seems like this same thing could be used for things like Dark Intent, Focus Magic, etc.

    Let me know if this makes sense. Would be happy to help test and give feedback if you need someone.

  • #222

    Hey, good to hear you like the addon, I'm doing it for ppl like you :)

    As for your request, I totally agree that Aura Frames should support this at some point, but you are also the first one that has requested it and next to that I'm working on Aura Frames 2.0. So this will have a low priority but I made a ticket for this (http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/aura-frames/tickets/76-support-for-tracking-buffs-on-non-specified-units/) so that I won't forget it. 

  • #225

    That's cool, just wanted to throw it out there. I suspect most people use Xorcist like I do, but I kind of loath that addon, haha. Look forward to future versions!

    Bug when DK using timeline-cd effect!

    This occure almost every time for me, but weirdly only with DK. The CD "popup" effect stuck on the unholy skills on timeline. I have to reloadUI but it will start again in a couple of minutes. Could you please try to fix this? I've reported it before in the past. See picture!

    DK + AF CD Error

     

  • #217

    What version of aura frames do you use and what cooldowns get stuck?

  • #224

    I didn't forget you, but I don't own a DK and it seems this is purely related to those spells. I started levelling one but its not going fast. I'll report back here when I know more.

  • #220

    R355.

    Seems like all green (unholy) spells? Once one of the attack stuck, and I push another unholy based skill and the "big" frame stick to the new spell on the timeline (on the new unholy based spell) and then stuck on the end again. And its not anymating of course it just on the highest size of the "popup" graph. Hard to explain but its easy really.
