About Eth's Buff Bars
The addon is currently being rewritten from scratch, both to improve performances and allow more features to get in. The end goal is to provide an addon that can display your buffs in any way you want with complete freedom on customization to decide where each buff should appear (even in multiple places or not at all) and how the buff should look (form, size, colors)
It's quite a long process, the buff display part is more or less complete at the moment and I "just" have the UI left to create (which is probably the longest part to get it done right)
Buff Bars in action
A few videos of kills made by players using the buff bars, if you made a nice one, feel free to send me a link to add it here
Quick How-To
- Left-click and drag'n'drop the addon's icon at the desired location
- Right-click it to open settings (or type /ebb in chat)
- Configure what buffs (or debuffs) you want to track on yourself and your offensive/defensive target
- While settings window is open, drag the dummy bars around to set where real buffs should be displayed (and use mouse wheel to change the size of the buff bars)
- Profit!
Advanced Users
You can change the color of buff bars by adding an hexadecimal color code after the buff name. Example: if you want Breaching Shot's buff bar to appear in pink, instead of entering "Breaching Shot" in the buff list, enter "Breaching Shot#E81067" instead.

I really need a reset button for the bars. Or a description of what file I might use to change the placement.
My problem is that I use a laptop to play on and normally I have it hooked to a larger monitor. However atm I am away for 3 months and so I am stuck with the smaller laptop screen. This causes my buffbars to be out of the screen and I can't get them back inside the visible screen area I am now stuck with.
Somehow I lost the player bar. I have my offensive target and my defensive target, but my player bar has gone by by. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I even deleted all the data in my GUI folder and ran a repair. Where is the character prefernce xml and bxml located so I can get rid of it? It seems that when uninstalling EBB this little piece of info stays so it is never a complete uninstall which means no guaranteed fix.
deleted the character prefences and all after uninstalling, deleting all my data in the GUI folder, and the appdata, still no player buff bar, only the defensive and offensive target remain active. I know the issue started when I misclicked on my screen and someone shot a breaching shot off, while tanking. I clicked the player buff bar and moved it or something on my screen so wondering if somehow it went off screen. I cannot find an option for it in order to change its x/y axis any way to get an update that allows for this in order to see if it solves the issue?
I would like to have the abilities I place on a monster (bloodsport, weaken etc.) shown as a different colour from the buffs they place on themselves. That way I can quickly glance in a fight and know how "well" I am doing. Is there a way of doing this?
I can see that you can change the colour of individual items but I currently have it so it does not show any listed. I would have to show all mine/monsters abilities and do not have a complete list.
Thanks and love the tool.
Could do with these a tad smaller in depth as if you have a massive attack running it takes up half the screen?
With one of the latest updates, the add on is totally gone from my game. It's not in the slots and it was before. I've checked for extra files in the program foler and I did the /setoption EthBuffBarsMod true trick. Neither worked. Several of my cabalmates have said the same thing. Any ideas on getting it to work again?
I'm having an issue with this since it updated. The bars no longer show up on my UI. Usually they are invisible, or sometimes I will see it flash real quickly before it becomes invisible again. Can't seem to figure out a combination of options that will make it work like it was...
Is it possible to add custom sounds?
I remember an addon from wow, Power Auras. You seem to be heading in the same direction with EBB. Many things I tracked with it I did so with only sounds.
Is there a bug with Boss tracked buffs and reticle mode? I play as a tank in reticle mode and in HR/6 if i loose the Boss as target and retarget, the tacked "Anima depletion" buff resets back to 24s, while in reality its at 1-10s? This means i cant rely on the tracked display.
Wierd bug: my self bar has shrunk to a miniature, unreadable state...
edit: ah, ctrl+scrolling fixed it. Might be caused by CustomUI.
Has any one put together a list of offensive buff targets for NM dungons?
ie: Anima Depletion, extra..
I just couldnt seem to get this working properly the other night and it turns out I was just adding buffs in the wrong type. Some friends in game told me to use all caps or the buffs wouldnt display. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling a couple times and various other things that were listed in here but finally typed it as it's listed on the actual ability and it's working great. So, dont use all caps :)
One thing that might help people having issues to get it to work.
Once ingame after installing, type this command
/setoption EthBuffBarsMod true
And if you still don't see the addon active, type /reloadui
I can't get this to work. I used to have this installed then I tried updating it. I've deleted all the files, started from scratch. Tried curse, and manual and I still can't get it to install. I've deleted everything, scripts and all then tried to install it but it still doesn't work...
I noticed modules.xml, login pref, character file inside the flash folder do I delete these?
*UPDATE* that was the problem. I deleted these extra .xml files and it loads! Thank you!!
Beginning last night my personal buff bars started randomly deciding to not disappear once the buff was gone. After one boss fight I might have 3 Breaching Shot bars still on my screen, 2 or 3 Seal the Deal bars, some Do or Die bars, etc.
A /reloadui fixed the issue until the next fight. I havne't installed or updated any addons in the last week or so.
