nivBuffs

Version: r24

by: Luzzifus [More]

News

I don't play WoW anymore (at least currently) and do not have an active subscription. So I cannot and will not work on my addons anymore. Sorry.

However, Calebzor has done awesome work in updating and improving this addon, including an ingame config. Check it out here!

About

nivBuffs is a replacement for blizzards default buff frames. It shows your buffs, debuffs and temporary weapon enchants.

Features

Using SecureAuraHeaders, so you can cancel buffs via rightclick!
Remaining duration can be displayed as spiral texture, bar and/or text.
Shows stack count for buffs/debuffs with 2 or more stacks.
Blinking icons for buffs/debuffs that will expire soon.
Sorted by time, name or spell ID.
Custom icon border (change the texture if you don't like it).
Support for custom styling with ButtonFacade.
Differently colored borders for temporary weapon enchants and debuffs.
Debuff highlighting by debuff type.

Config

There is no ingame config (at least not yet), but you can adjust appearance and behaviour in "config.lua" using a text editor.

Known Issues

You can cancel weapon enchants by now, but the second one still references to the first.
Third weapon enchant doesn't work (because of broken Blizzard code).

FAQ

Because some people still have problems with correctly setting up the anchoring and grow direction stuff, here are some examples (r14+). These are only the settings for buffs, but changing the debuffs works the same way.

lua Code:

-- Anchored to topleft corner of the UI,
-- growing horizontally to the right in rows of 20 icons,
-- next row exactly below the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 15, -15 },
buffXoffset = 35,
buffYoffset = 0,
buffIconsPerRow = 20,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 0,
buffWrapYoffset = -55,
 
-- Anchored to topright corner of the UI, 
-- growing horizontally to the left in rows of 20 icons, 
-- next row exactly below the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15, -15 },
buffXoffset = -35,
buffYoffset = 0,
buffIconsPerRow = 20,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 0,
buffWrapYoffset = -55,
 
-- Anchored to topleft corner of the UI, 
-- growing vertically down in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the right of the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 15, -15 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = -35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,
 
-- Anchored to bottomleft corner of the UI,
-- growing vertically up in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the right of the previous
buffAnchor = { "BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT", 15, 250 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = 35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,
 
-- Anchored to the topleft corner of the minimap,
-- growing vertically down in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the left of the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "Minimap", "TOPLEFT", -25, 0 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = -35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = -35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,

If you need in-depth info about anchoring, read this and this.

TODO

Add third weapon enchant (as soon as Blizzard fixes their code base).
Consolidation (as soon as Blizzard fixes their code base).

Credits

A big "Thank You!" goes to sigg, as he posted this nice tutorial on SecureAuraHeaders in the forums.

r24
- Debuff border coloring now also works with ButtonFacade.

r23
- Removed experimental code that caused more taint errors.
- Added position offset settings for duration text.

r21
- Fixed taint errors with enabled ButtonFacade.
- Added separate font color settings for duration text and stack counter.
- Added position settings for stack counter.

r20
- Fixed that garbage thingy -> mem usage should stay low now.
- Due to patch 4.0.3 the following things now properly work (at least): canceling weapon enchants, sorting and disabling "separateOwn" attribute.

r19
- Added ButtonFacade support (disabled by default, requires ButtonFacade r344+).
- Added options to adjust font, font size and font style.

r17
- The duration spiral doesn't overlap the border anymore.
- Added duration bars inside of the icons.
- Added option to toggle duration bars.
- Added option to toggle duration text timers.

r15
- Added some options which allow vertical growth and more.
- Duration text now can also be placed to the left or right of the icon.
- Removed "(de)buffGrowDir" options (you can still change it).
- If you have problems setting it up as you wish, check out the example configs on the description page!

r12
- Fixed duration spirals (again).
- Set "separateOwn" header attribute. So whenever blizz fixes their wonderful code, this will actually make your own buffs not be separated from the others.. *cough*
- Fixed buffs/debuffs not hiding when the whole interface is hidden (ALT+Z).
- Random code improvements.

r10
- Added debuff border coloring by debuff type.
- Added separate scale option for debuffs.
- Nicer border via SetBackdrop.

- Increased maximum number of rows to 10.

r9
- Duration spiral can be turned off again.
- Added option for brightness of the default non-colored icon border.
- Remaining time text matches the tooltip time now.

r8
- Even further reduced CPU usage.
- New blinking algorithm.
- Added option to adjust blinking speed.
- Fixed border color error of second weapon enchant (correct icons, tooltip still broken, blame Blizzard).

r7
- Added different border coloring for temporary weapon enchants (item quality) and debuffs (darkred).
- Added option to disable these colored borders.
- Added cooldown spiral for temporary weapon enchants.
- New border texture.
- Reduced CPU usage.
- Removed updateDelay option (not longer neccessary).

r6
- Removed experimental code that caused an error in the SecureAuraHeader code.
- Fixed bug that hides stack count when the cooldown spiral is disabled.

r4
- Growth direction for Dummies.
- Added option to hide cooldown spirals.

r3
- Fixed cooldown spiral overlaying the stack count.
- Fixed cooldown spiral disappearing.
- Added more detailed positioning/anchoring options.
- Added options for font color, update interval and temporary weapon enchants.

Luzzifus A Warpwood Thunder Caller Forum posts: 94 File comments: 237 Uploads: 6	nivBuffs does not (and did never) interact with the CompactRaidFrames, nor does it alter or even access its functions. Nothing else could cause taint, right? I'm at least pretty certain that it cannot be caused by nivBuffs directly. My only suspicion is that there is some kind of conflict with another addon. So please try to find out which one it could be by disabling questionable addons one by one. Start with those who could possibly alter or hide the Default Raidframes. *edit: One more idea: Try disabling lines 369 - 373 in "nivBuffs.lua" (those which are commented with "hide blizz auras").

i use following config:

Code:

    sortMethod = "TIME",            -- how to sort the buffs/debuffs, possible values are "NAME", "INDEX" or "TIME"
    sortReverse = true,             -- reverse sort order
    showWeaponEnch = true,          -- show or hide temporary weapon enchants
    showDurationSpiral = false,     -- show or hide the duration spiral
    showDurationBar = false,         -- show or hide the duration bar
    showDurationTimers = true,      -- show or hide the duration text timers

but i have some issues:

1. sort doesn't work correctly! sometimes pala-aura switch between hots and bufs - but its havn't time ?
2. spiral is false on my config, but shown on some hots!

"applySkin" is defined local. I asked you because I was asked for supporting rActionButtonStyler, so I won't just copy a function from your code. But thanks!

I have a fix for the weapon enchants that makes them work properly. Except for the third one of course (Blizzard seems to have completely forgotten about it), but tooltips and icons work, also updating on login/reloadui/apply/reapply and cancelling them. It all sounds too good, right? Right. Unfortunately my fix broke the normal auras.

Well, not completely, but it causes very strange errors from blizzards code in combat. Not exactly taints, but it tries to create buttons when it's not neccessary. I really start to hate the SecureAuraHeaders by now..

Fixed.. *cough* Sorry.

I have 3 suggestions for this:

In Terrokar Forest there is a place that gives you a permanent debuff when you are in the area. You can go here and get one debuff. Use a bandage on yourself for a second debuff. Depending on class you may be able to get a third debuff (Weakened Soul, Forbearance, et cetera).
Do the mounted Argent Tournament daily at the Tournament grounds which puts a debuff on you for each faction you defeat. This debuff lasts 5 minutes. As long as you don't turn the quest in you can continue to defeat factions (You may need to destroy the mark you are awarded, however).
Apply a bunch of BUFFS on yourself and configure your buffs where you want your debuffs to display. Once you are happy with the positioning, just set the debuff positioning to that location and restore your buff position location. You don't HAVE to test with debuffs, once you figure out the offsets you're good to go. It's much easier to stack a lot of buffs than debuffs so this is the method I ended up using to test with.

Edit: It doesn't seem custom font colors are working anymore. With r20 they were working fine but now I can't get the duration or stack font colors to change from their default.

Indeed, it wouldn't be so bad if what they did supply actually worked properly. As it is, it's hard to come up with the inspiration to come up with workarounds for issues when there are simple things that you just blatantly can't do, but Blizzard are able to do in the default buff frames because they don't use the template.

It's also frustrating that it doesn't look like it is going to improve anytime soon. The only thing that was 'fixed' so far as I know, was being able to click off weapon enchants. However, I hope you aren't an enhancement shaman or rogue, because it's still effectively broken for them. You know, the classes that get the most use of them by far.

I tried to use the new aura system aswell. I hated it so much that I became mad enough to rebuild rBuff and that actually worked quite well. (rBuffFrameStyler)

Blizzard just threw a pillow at us that we can either swallow or leave it as it is. I like neither. So hacking their code is the way I'm going to respond. *lol*

Luzzifus if you still need a skin function you can check applySkin" in the buffstyler.

You can already do that with the offset values.

I can't "fake" auras for the SecureAuraHeader. Just get a deserter debuff or something like that. ^^
