Balance Power Tracker Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.3.5

by: Copialinex [More]

1.3.5 is BETA, as I don't know for sure the arrow bug is gone, I'd be very grateful if somebody confirmed it either way, thanks!

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.

Fyl A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Hey I've had this rare (and random) bug occur from time to time: basically the bar displays the incorrect direction after an Eclipse occurs, and so all the display becomes incorrect (e.g. I just hit Solar Eclipse, but the arrow still points towards Solar, and when I exit Solar Eclipse the bar says now I'm in Lunar Eclipse even though I just exited Solar). This happens very rarely and is difficult to reproduce, but I wonder if there's a way of preventing this happening - add a self-correcting mechanism to check if the direction is correct.

The fight you were doing had any special mechanics involving spellcasts (specially starting the cast & pushback)? I haven't logged in a long time and I'm quite busy atm.
The var was set to nil by a call to the WoW API (UnitCastingInfo or UnitChannelInfo), and I thought they were pretty much safe. However, I'll need to revise it. Any additional info would be appreciated, thank you.

Although I agree with you, it's a really nice art, I wont add it because I'd be stealing the art someone else has made (I know he/she released it with a public domain license, but I still don't think it's right).
You could argue that I'm hypocrite because I have a bar with Blizzard art, but I didn't copy anything, neither art nor code. I just used the files Blizz provides us to make a bar that looks the same as the default one

However, there's no need to chose between them, you can use both, BPT disabled modules use 0 CPU.

e: From a comment of mine in curse:
Asking never hurts, and if someday I've given the impression of it bothering me, I apologize, English is not my native language and I don't know all the nuances.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install and configure BalancePowerTracker
2. Go into a raid (In this case ICC-25 heroic)
3. go into combat (only does tit the first time) or reloadUI (not every time) or log out

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: No errors
Seen: Multiple instance of ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED

here are the bugsack and buggrabber traces

Code:

8x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn "BalancePowerTracker" tried to call the protected function "OverrideActionBarButton1:Show()".
<in C code>
FrameXML\ActionButton.lua:268: in function "ActionButton_Update"
FrameXML\ActionButton.lua:505: in function "ActionButton_OnEvent"
FrameXML\ActionButton.lua:124: in function <FrameXML\ActionButton.lua:117>

Locals:
nil

(Ive noticed it under other conditions but it seems to be somewhat random - usually when I get a UI reload event, or when I log out or log in, but I thought it was other addons that were causing it. I disabled them and this is throwing errors)

Will check this night in LFR, I'll update this post with the status

e:
0:50
LFR done with only BPT, all modules enabled.
Didn't get any error.

Can you check if a clean install of BPT solves the problem? (deleting SavedVariables/BalancePowerTracker.lua & SavedVariables/BalancePowerTracker.lua.bak)
If not, Can you check if having disabled both "pipe" and "Hide default" solves the problem?
If none of these solve the problem, can you link a UI screenshot, please? (so I know how do you have Blizz raid & button bars configured)

However, I see your point "why do I use the cast bar if spell tracking is not consistent?" I'll look into it and see what can I do. It may take some time, though.

When Celestial Alignment is up, the bar stops showing casts. Is there a possible fix or option I can check?

Aye. I initially started using it for that same reason. But then, being the minimalist that I am, I couldn't help but take it a step further and eliminate the use of other cast bars. I love it!

Thanks for the quick reply, not to mention the addon itself, which I absolutely loved from day one.

You're right, this is a minor issue, but it shows that there's a problem underneath that needs to be investigated, as you can see with my answer to the previous post. ^^

Can't really see it as a big issue, I guess you'll live through not having the bar in levels 10 and 11 :P

Re: Bar missing in balance spec

I've identified an issue when entering & exiting vehicles, did this run involve vehicles in some way?
Also, does this happen every time you log, happnes even when BPT is the only addon enabled? Can you provide me a screenshot of the modules tab, please?
(Also, a PM with saved vars file would be very nice, WTF->Account-><Account name>->SavedVariables->BalancePowerTracker.lua)

I know, these are a lot of requests, I hope I can fix it with them. Thank you for you trouble!

I know it's not a lot of information to work with, but that's pretty much all I have, since it won't really shoow anything :P

I'm using it on my level 10 druid alt. Can it have something to do with my level?

Before, you learned SS with the spec, I'm looking in wowhead and it shows level 12 although you can move the slider from level 1 to 85, so please tell me if reaching level 12 shows the bar.
In case this is the problem (it seems likely) I'll update it as soon as I can.

I've assumed you're going to level that toon, if that's not the case, please tell me, and I'll level one to check
