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).

Due to my very compact and aligned UI, I find myself wanting it precisely 306 wide.

Been going through the code, but I'm no LUA wiz. Also been trying to add a keybind for the function to the keybind menu, but with no luck. Code: /script BalancePowerTrackerBackgroundFrame:Hide(); and /script BalancePowerTrackerBackgroundFrame:Show(); --Does work, but as the addon updates upon shifting, I have to run the script everytime I change form. Think you could lend a hand?

Been going through the code, but I'm no LUA wiz. Also been trying to add a keybind for the function to the keybind menu, but with no luck.

/script BalancePowerTrackerBackgroundFrame:Hide(); and /script BalancePowerTrackerBackgroundFrame:Show();

You need to call BalancePowerTracker_SharedInfo.Enabled function:

Code:

ON: /script BalancePowerTracker_SharedInfo.Enabled(true);
OFF: /script BalancePowerTracker_SharedInfo.Enabled(false);

I removed the /bpt option command because I thought there was no need for it, if you don't mind the question, why are you using it? Does bpt show when it's not intended to?

Fantastic!

I have built myself a HUD-type of lay-out (or it's in the works) separate from the rest of my UI, using BPT at it's base. Due to this, I found it most convenient to use the BalancePowerTrackerBackgroundFrame as a parent to everything included in the HUD - And with a press of a button, I can toggle it.

That way when I'm idling or whatever else, I don't have to have it around the centre of my screen, or on it at all.

Can PM you a picture after I've gotten some sleep.

Thanks again.

The power tracker starts to become off balance for some reason, any chance you can get a 4.1 patch update for it? It's an amazing add-on, one of my favorites actually, so it would be sad for it to no longer be able to work

For everyone else trying to quickly fix it, look for _,event,gUID and replace with _,event,_,gUID There is one line in BalancePowerTracker.lua and two more in LibBalancePowerTracker-1.0/LibBalancePowerTracker-1.0.lua

Are you using last version?
How far are you from the target when it happens?
Does the target disappear when the spell is flying?

Divisible A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Hello. First off, I would like to thank you for making this addon. I've been using it since I can remember. It's an amazing addon and I plan on using it as long as you keep updating it. Once again, thank you for creating such a helpful addon. I'm currently in the same situation as Bakayaru. BPT keeps crashing my game and I was forced to use "Moveanything" to move to blizzard eclipse bar to a proper position. The blizzard eclipse bar is absolutely terrible and I can't stand using it. I just thought I'd post some feedback and let you know (although I'm sure you've heard already from others). Thanks for your time, Divisible.
