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.
Known Issues
Let me know about any bug with 1.2 version

Find more of my TSW mods on Seekrit.info, that has a few nifty tools for the game: an item/mission/... database, a tool to calculate glyph stats and more to come.

Well I did use it yesterday without a problem. Log in today to find out there was a mini patch (hotfix) and now it's not working. I don't even see the icon for Eth's Buff Bars. Shift+ctrl+F1 to reset gui doesn't work nor reinstall.....
Your installation instructions are severely lacking.
@rtatum
How is it that you can say this is lacking? It tells you exactly how to install it:
Installation Instructions
- Unzip the EthBuffBars and Flash folders into \TSW\Data\Gui\Customized\Flash
- Restart the game
Yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried editting my xml files to include your stuff, I've tried unzipping the folder containing them into the directory, nothing seems to get this addon working... I guess it could be broken right now after the hotfix? Which darksilver2011 seems to indicate above...
In fact they are, I meant to write "Unzip into ...\Customized" not "Customized\Flash" :/ (you want the .swf file into the Flash folder)
It's pretty easy. I can say it like this "Your instructions are lacking." Not very hard to use words. If you do what that says, unzip those folders into the customized/flash folder, it doesn't work. Am I actually supposed to have the XML files in the Flash folder like the instructions suggest? Because that's not how it usually works, and it's not working for me.
this is working really good. but the fact that i have to write them all in everytime i log in, is not good at all. if i remember correctly, even reloading UI makes you need to put it all in again
Is this still happening with last version (1.1) ? If so, i'll have to check more into it.
it works perfectly now. ty
ill try it out when i wake up. ill get back to you
I cant wait till the "Defensive target tracking" feature is live !! :)
Uploaded 1.1 to Curse, should be availaible "soon". It's fixing the biggest issues (settings not saving, unrecognized buffs & lack of stack display) and adding resizing and separating self/target buffs.
Will try to get more of the requested features into next version.
Are 1.1 available? I downloaded the last one and it looks like it stil 1.0.
Not seeing 1.1 on curseforge > <
You can always grab new version on CurseForge while waiting for them to be approved by Curse (I had to reupload 1.1 before it got approved, so it probably bounced back at the end of the approval queue)
Edit: my bad, curseforge isn't showing the new files in the list until they're approved, but they're still visible/downloadable on their own URL
