About 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

    Since the totems themselves aren't buffs this data isn't available, especialy not via the buff API. So no, EBB doesn't display these. But there are some other mods that do.

    Is there any way you can have the buff bars display timers for shaman totems, my only complaint. i love this addon none the less but would be sweet to see timers in the buff. thanks

    Heya Elkano :)

    First of all, thanks for this addon, I can't live without it. I appreciate your hard working.

    As there are a few addons, which shows spell/item cooldowns as bars, but I would love to use Elkano's CooldownBars, which would look like BuffBars, so could there be a variation later perhaps?

  • #188

    if it's a de/buff it should be showing it; if it isn't it wont. Never was in Mech myself...

    can this addon display the (de)buff u get from the first boss in Mech ?
    the + and - thingies

  • #190

    It's caused by some other addon you're running that reshows these buffs if it isn't set to hide them. So check your other addons.

    Thank you Elkano for your wonderful addon. But since I installed my WoW again and updated my addons, I'm not able do deactivate the buffs from the blizzard ui. Do I have to put some settings in your buffbars? Thanks for helping.

  • #191

    for those that got Blizzards buffbar and cant disable it, I tried disable and reaneble Elkanos buffbar and it worked, relogged after to make shure it would stick. Blizzards original buffbar was still gone

    thanks for a great addon

  • #192

    Thank you raggarsvin, your tip works, but i have to disable and enable the elkanos buffbars after every logon.

  • #193

    How do i make the buff bar smaller just like the 2nd picture is being shown.

  • #194

    I really love this addon and there is no other other addon that is even close to being that awesome.
    So I am getting really frustrated when the addons sometimes just stops working. Sounds weird but the bars just stop counting down and it doesn't add any buffs.
    Then sometimes it starts to work 5min later, sometimes not. Does any1 know how to fix this? I don't know if it matters but I am playing on a mac.

    btw. this is whats saying as the only error in ebb:
    Error: attempt to index field 'Rlines' (a nil value)
    File: ...ddOns\ElkBuffBars\libs\Gratuity-2.0\Gratuity-2.0.lua
    Line: 62
    Count: 6

    @omgitsdaryl
    here you can change width and height of a group:
    /ebb config --> Group Settings --> Group X --> Bar Layout ---> Height / Width

    The API doesn't tell whose debuff it is so no, not directly. But iirc it will return the timeleft only for de/buffs you applied so you could try to filter timless de/buffs.
    Besides that you could look into addons like Chronometer that are especially intended for such a task.

    Hello, Elkano

    You have created an awesome addon. Really, I enjoy it a lot.

    I have only one question: is it possible to setup some filter which will show only my debufs?
    For example - when fighting some boss I see all debuffs from warriors, rogues etc. I turned them all off and leave only priest's DoTs like SW:Pain. It helped a little, but not completely. The problem is that in raid we have normally 2-3 shadow priests and as result I see their dots as well. So is it possible to show only my own dot's/debuffs?

    Regards

  • #197

    me think this addon need to fix so u can see the improve blood pact or any ader buffs for the curent Ver!! u dont see and that suxx big time

  • #198

    If anyone is having the problem with Blizzard`s Buff frame not going away, remove the PlayerAuras module from DoTimer, if youre using it. It worked for me.
