Balance Power Tracker

Version: 2.0.1

by: Copialinex [More]

Updated for WoD

BalancePowerTracker is an addon designed to provide a highly configurable bar to track Lunar/Solar energy, Eclipse direction and Peak 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/GCD and adds its cast time to your current energy, so BPT predicts where your energy is going to be, and if you are going to proc any Peak or not.
Unlike former versions, calculating predicted energy is now more difficult (due to fast switch when near 0 and lag), so it's done by approximation. This means that prediction accuracy is no longer 100% (near 100 and -100 is pretty much completely accurate and near 0 you can get +2/-2, usually +1/-1 averaged)
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 a Peak.
(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!)
WARNING: Euphoria is untested and Astral Communion error margin is higher

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 & peak 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.

How do I configure it?
Type /bpt, in the tab "addons" you will find all the options for BPT.

Castbar mode ...? When casting a spell, 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 (you need to have the spark enabled).

[b]Thank you very much, got it all set up and looking good. Having an issue with Virtual Energy though. I can't seem to be able to detect virtual energy. I get a value for it, but only after a spell has been cast, making it pretty much useless. I have the calculation under the following events:
UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED
UNIT_SPELLCAST_FAILED
UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTED
UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT
COMBAT_LOG_UNFILTERED -->

SPELL_ENERGIZE
SPELL_MISS
SPELL_DAMAGE

Am I missing one? Or perhaps just missing something all together?

LBPT uses the same events to recalculate energy, so if your client fires first your addon's events, when checking the LBPT vars will find nothing has changed.

I'm using this to get the info:

function EclipseInfo()
LibBalancePowerTracker:RegisterFullCallback(function(...) LibBalancePowerTracker:GetEclipseEnergyInfo() end)
energy, direction, virtual_energy, virtual_direction, reach_end = LibBalancePowerTracker:GetEclipseEnergyInfo()
end

You only need 1 of those functions:
If you want to retrieve the energy vars, it should be like this:
function EclipseInfo()
energy, direction, virtual_energy, virtual_direction, reach_end = LibBalancePowerTracker:GetEclipseEnergyInfo()
end
The callback only needs to be registered once, you are registering one different callback each time you call EclipseInfo().

What I'd do:
Get ridden of the above events (unless you use them for something else)
Creating a function that updates the addon using the info
LibBalancePowerTracker:RegisterFullCallback(function(...) UpdateMyAddon(...) end) on, for example PLAYER_LOGIN

I'm glad it worked, I advise you to wait till I update LibBalancePowerTracker with the PvP bonus (maybe till Saturday or Sunday GMT) so you include the last version.
Copialinex vs Kurohoshi: Use the one you like more, I will answer at both

Thanks for using LibBalancePowerTracker, and giving me credit!

I'll check as soon as I can, I'm really busy with exams now.
I don't think the two are related because to include BPT in the Options UI I use the functions Blizzard provides, but you've given me an idea, BPT includes a library to make the options dialog broader, maybe I should test it without the library.

Lorune A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I would to know if it would be possible to build the option in to change the arrow to either the Starfire or Wrath icon depending on which side your building towards. Or perhaps add the Starfire / wrath icon middle top of the bar itself, basicly a visual indication of which spell you should be casting ? I know this might sound silly, but for a non to experienced balance druid this might be a very nice aid. (toggleable ofcourse for those that think its not needed)

I don't want BPT to become a "press this button" addon (I've got plans to update the one I made somewhere in the future), if you want, you can achieve something similar by changing the icons of Eclipse for Wr and Sf and enabling "big icons", you can have the bar colored based in the eclipse you're building, or you always can use other mods like ShadowsEclipseMonitor.
Although I won't deny that customizable arrow is a good idea.

Re: Awesome addon

Ok, I've tested it and it's working fine for me, I'm not sure about what do you mean with "play well", can you be a little more explicit, please?

On the glyph bug, I've seen some threads on other addons with the same bug and searching a little more I found wowace, so I think it's a bug on Blizzard's side.

Cowt A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 37 Uploads: 0	Been experiencing an issue with BPT ever since I downloaded v 1.1.4. It won't allow me to keep the text off. Unchecking the box, it will disappear, but after reloading or relogging, the power text is back, and the box is still checked. The weird part is, even when I attempt to alter the .LUA document (saved variables, and the addon itself), it still will not reflect the changes. It leaves me to think that this might be an issue on my end, with Windows 7 not giving me permission. However, I am the owner of the files, and no other addon is giving me this error. Is this a known issue? EDIT: Looking further into the issue; the addon will update upon some things, such as me moving it. - Which is not reset by reloading. I can properly toggle the display of Icons, but not bar Visibility, for example. EDIT2: Issue appears resolved, oddly enough. I've been struggling with it for days.
