About FuBar2Broker

Description

Transparently creates LDB ("LibDataBroker") feeds from all of your FuBar plugins so that they can be shown on LDB displays of your choice instead of on FuBar.

See this forum thread for general info on LDB.

Usage

FuBar2Broker is meant to be completely transparent. If FuBar2Broker is running, you should see LDB feeds for all of your loaded FuBar plugins listed in your LDB display(s).

NOTE: Many FuBar plugins require an actual addon named "FuBar" to load as a dependency, and will refuse to load if it is not present. Use this miniature FuBar stub to make them work with FuBar2Broker!

Also note that even with the fake FuBar stub installed, some plugins still won't load because they are flagged as Load-on-Demand. F2B does not currently handle loading LoD plugins (because such functionality is currently over my head) so you will have to edit their .TOC file to remove the load on demand requirement.

Known Issues

Some FuBar plugins (such as NRT) expect you to double-click them to perform certain actions, but double-clicking does not seem to be handled in a compatible way by LDB. As a workaround, FuBar2Broker currently allows you to simulate double-clicks by clicking the middle mouse button instead.

Also, please note that FuBarPlugin-3.0 based plugins such as FuBar_PerformanceFu and FuBar_DurabilityFu will not be converted to LDB plugins by FuBar2Broker because F2B works by acting as a FuBarPlugin-2.0 dummy library. Most FuBarPlugin-3.0 plugins that I know of have decent LDB-based alternatives though.

Bug Reports

If you have any issues, please report them in the FuBar2Broker forum thread and/or create a ticket in FuBar2Broker's WowAce ticket tracker.

    Not by me, I quit WoW late last year and haven't looked back. If someone else wants to take it over and update it, that's fine by me. I only got ownership because I asked for it after it had been abandoned by others before me...

    I am glad this is here. I like FuBar_PetInfoFu. The problem is that with Titan Panel I get the "Fubar - PetInfoFu" text on the bar. I want that text not to show, but there is no right-click option to remove it (no options appear at all) and there are no such option in the Titan Panel plugin menu to disable it.

    How can I remove the text from showing. I like the icon, but not the text.

    right click on the titan panel bar itself, find said addon, hover over it to reveal new options, ???, profit.

    I'm naked.

    Really glad to find this, but is there a new fubar stub that works? I tried changing the one you have above to 30300 but that didn't seem to work.

    Is there a way to see which addons are using F2L? I'm trying to move to a native LDB install, and it'd be nice to have a way of knowing when i'm done. The fu_ ones are obvious, but a lot of other addons have either a fubar or a ldb configurator, and it's not clear which each is using.

    If you don't mind doing some Lua code editing, open up FuBar2Broker.lua and add the following after the "brokerPlugins[addon] = brokerPlugin" line in OnEmbedEnable():

    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("FuBar2Broker: Created LDB plugin for " .. (name or "unknown"));

    F2B should then report to the chat log as it creates LDB plugins on login/reloadui (I just tested it and it seems to work).

    Fubar2Broker does not pick up these 2 addons:

    FuBar_DurabilityFu
    FuBar_PerformanceFu

    even with the dummy stub, so I am forced to use both Docking Station AND Fubar for now.

    The reason being Fubar's durability, garbage and performance are so vastly superior than any addons for the DS right now.

    Durability: Autorepair
    Garbage: Recycle bin in vendors for autosell
    Performance: Memory useage breakdown on mods total and per in ranking order.

    These 3 addons are just too good to give up for the featureless DS versions.


    So we need one of 2 things to happen:

    Fubar2broker to pick these up
    or
    DS authors to make addons of the same caliber and functionality


    Thank you!

    I've heard that you can use DurabilityFu with Fubar2Broker by removing its load on demand string from its .TOC file.

    PerformanceFu will never be supported by Fubar2Broker because it uses FubarPlugin-3.0 and F2B only supports FubarPlugin-2.0 plugins.

    Personally, I have found native LDB replacements for both that suit my needs (specifically Broker_SysMon and ZBrokerDurability I think, but there are a million others that do both, including but not limited to:

    Game status:
    - Broker_SysMon
    - "Broker CPU / Memory / Performance",
    - StatBlock_whatever,
    - VertiBroker

    Durability:
    zBrokerDurability
    StatBlock_Durability
    VertiBroker_Durability
    tekability

    It's mostly in maintenance mode at this point, but I just got ownership and have pushed a TOC update so that WoW will recognize it as 3.1-compatible.

    a feature requests:

    what would it take to enable the user to choose/configure which FuBar plugins they wanted FuBar2Broker to convert to LDB plugins, selectively?

    looks like Broker2FuBar allows the user to choose which LDB plugins to convert into FuBar plugins... i would like to be able to do that in the opposite direction with FuBar2Broker.

    It should be possible, but I don't know how to code an interface for that.

    Most LDB displays let you choose which plugins to show on them, so you can show/hide them at the display level if nothing else.
