About BalancePowerTracker
BalancePowerTracker is an addon designed to provide a highly configurable bar to track Lunar/Solar energy, Eclipse direction and Eclipse buff.
It also can fire wanrnings when you gain Eclipse and provides energy prediction.
It's focused on using the CPU strictly necessary and no more.
PREDICTED ENERGY:
Predicted energy analizes your current cast and adds its energy to your current energy, so BPT predicts where your energy is going to be after you finish your cast, and if you are going to proc Eclipse or not.
You can configure the indicators (bar,text,icons,arrow) of the mod to either display predicted or real info.
Also, you can configure the alerts to fire when you are going to get an Eclipse.
(Author's note: I feel Predicted Energy is the heart of BPT, I think without this option I wouldn't have made this addon, also it has taken up most of the time invested in the addon, however, I understand people value the choice to turn this off. At least, give it a try!)
Provides LibSharedMedia, Masque & MikSBT support:
- LibSharedMedia: Bar textures, alert sounds, fonts
- Masque: Eclipse icons skin
- MikSBT: Fire alerts through MikSBT
FAQ:
Can I disable it out of combat? You can't disable it out of combat, but you can turn the Alpha Out Of Combar to 0, so it won't bother you (CPU load out of combat is pretty much 0).
The energy seems a little erratic...? Predicted energy & eclipse are enabled by default, with this enabled, the mod will add the energy of you current cast to the bar, if you only want to change the size & position of the energy bar, I suggest you to uncheck this option.
Is there any way to have the awesome Blizzard art? Enable default art module, you'll get a bar like Blizzard's with some options (not nearly as many as with the Eclipse bar module).
Green bar: BPT is unable to access the bar/border texture, check if you have uninstalled it.
Pipe ...? In case you want some addon to fetch BPT predicted energy values instead of the real ones, you can try enabling this option. It will try to make ALL the addons and UI elements fetch predicted values.
This option has several drawbacks:
- You can't choose which addons and UI elements will fetch
- Increases BPT CPU (& reduces everyone else's) because all calls to UnitPower go through BPT
- Can cause taint issues (Pipe will disable itself when this happens)
So I think you should leave this option unchecked unless you really need it
Castbar mode ...? With the changes to when energy is gained, you can see the spark in the cast bar as "how many energy of that spell I currently have", so with this option enabled (you should have the spark also enabled), when casting a spell that gives energy, the Eclipse bar will turn in a sort of castbar, still showing the arrow and the energy text. Just have this in mind: this isn't a castbar mod, so it shouldn't replace it, but this option reduces the places you need to have your eyes on.

Comments
just installed this addon and the bar is not showing up at all. the icons appear when i reach an eclipse, but there is no bar. i have the bar set to show with full alpha both in and out of combat and have the eclipse bar enabled.
edit: downloaded the one off of wowinterface and it works, the latest one on curse seems to be the culprit.
While waiting for a 5.2 version, you can update BPT fairly easily to work with the new Soul of the Forest value by editing /Interface/AddOns/BalancePowerTracker/LibBalancePowerTracker-1.1/LibBalancePowerTracker-1.1.lua.
Change line 180 from:
SoulOfTheForest = {talentIndex = 10, bonus = 20},
to
SoulOfTheForest = {talentIndex = 10, bonus = 40},
On your text options for the energy value on the bar the lowest size font you can select is 10. This brings up a problem with some fonts looking too big.
On previous versions I found the line in the lua where I could change the minimum available size for font. But I can't seem to find it in this version.
If you could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Cheers
You can replicate it while standing at a target dummy.
After a while without freezes, just executing yoour normal rotation you will notice the energy marker:
if going solar>lunar: the marker goes back and then instantly returns forward
if going lunar>solar: it might add two time the energy of a spell and remaing screwed until the 0 checkpoint or the next eclipse if you've passed the 0
BTW adding the check ofr the pending 0bug works just fine.
The only bug left is when you activate CA...sometimes the marker won't move until the effect ends and remains where it was when you activated CA
The CA bug is pretty weird, as when you gain CA it should display 0 energy (it's hard coded in line 709)
Maybe commentign line 707 would do (if it was going to 0 and then to the previous energy very fast)
Also, did you have any problems with the extra action bar in some figths? I remember reading about some problems.
As soon as they open 5.2 ptr, I'll try both corrections (and SotF buff) and make a release if it's needed
I use ElvUI and don't have any problem with extra action bars
How is this mod different to the standard Eclipse tracker that comes with Stuf unit frames?
I see in the above picture both bars seem to be shown but have the same info on them.
Also reading through the comments it seems buggy and no updates since November 16 so it this still a viable addon?
Thanks.
Unfortunately the last beta version has made the problem worse.
It no longer bugs when you reach an eclipse, but more often during the transition, it sometimes add the energy of an extra spell and keeps it until it surpasses 0 or reach an eclipse.
The problem is if the extra energy is added when you have already passed the mid and you don't notice.
You will think you've reached the eclipse one spell too soon and may cast the wrong oppostie nuke.
That's definitely weird
Can you run: /run LibBalancePowerTracker:ToogleDebug() and after you see the bug, run it again (debug mode uses a LOT of memory) and then send me bpt saved vars (you'll need to logout for them to update), please?
I'll explain a little:
The workarounded bug is the following: When swithcing from Solar energy to Lunar energy, the bar stops at 0, and when it stops, it fires the events BPT listens to, therefore the need of something to avoid that without checking every time. I came with two solutions: The first, wait till it changes or a time has passed, and then actualize the bar (that's what happened before MoP) In MoP, I decided to make BPT ignore the bug and simply predict the energy (scheduling a energy check to see if somethig went wrong)
Of course, this solution was based on the fact that you get only one energize event from each spell, if the client freezes and it fires two energize events for one spell, all of it falls apart.
On the other hand, UnitPower always updates the real values, and, by my tests, always happened after energize events, but I don't know how client freezes would affect this.
However, whatever the cause may be, the neatest solution would be adding a return after line 686, this will cause BPT to behave like it was pre MoP, (I'll try to see what happens in detail when they open the PTR)
On other order of thing, do you have any info on the fight that is supposed to casue BPT to bug? Something about the extra button bar? (I don't know how they are related)
And, having seen the 5.2 patch notes, the SotF buff , you'd need only to modify line 187 (20->40)
I have two projects due on Friday, I'll look into this with detail after then, but it looks you have done a lot of work, thanks!
It seems the problem is caused by line 697-698-699 in the beta version 1.3.5
the piece of code:
UpdateEclipseOnEnergyDirection(energy,direction)
LBPT.RecalcEnergy(energy,direction)
is fired every time, but if there was a problem that caused energy ~= addEnergy(vars.energy,amount) to be true or a pending vars.bug0ToBeWorkarounded if the game client freezes you may end up with
LBPT.UNIT_POWER calling LBPT.RecalcEnergy(e,d) which will update the bar with the values passed by SPELL_ENERGIZE and a moment later SPELL_ENERGIZE will once again detect that energy ~= addEnergy(vars.energy,amount) is true changing
energy = addEnergy(vars.energy,amount)
direction = vars.vDirection;
and line 697-698-699 will update the bar with the new values which are incorrect because have the amount value summed two times in a row.
I think the bug can be fixed by simply checking if there's a bug0ToBeWorkarounded pending by changing those line in :
if not vars.bug0ToBeWorkarounded then
UpdateEclipseOnEnergyDirection(energy,direction)
LBPT.RecalcEnergy(energy,direction)
end
Tomorrow ends my subscription, and looking back and checking the time I played MoP, I'm not going to renew it.
I'll try to maintain BPT while I have access to the PTR, but someday, I'll be cut off.
Maybe in the future I'll return (there's a high chance this will happen), and that's why I'm not going to give away this project, but, if you want to fix/continue with it, it's released under LGPL3 for that very reason.
So, thank you all!
And see you around.
PS There're so many features I wanted to program, like a SS adviser with Hamlet's values, and others left in the scratchpad, I apologize.
I'm tagging las varsion as BETA (to dopwnload go t o the project) until someone confirms me that the arrow bug is gone
If you have any other bugs, please let me know
Thank you
