Buffet - PATCH separating Healthstones/Mana Gems

Version: 3.0.3.25-Beta

by: kerrang [More]

**Updated to Buffet 3.0.3.25-Beta**

As per my comments against the full mod - this is my patched version of Buffet (buffet.lua and config.lua ONLY - you need the full mod to use this).

I've added a 3rd macro "AutoST" (for STones) which will show Mana Gems over Healthstones (holding SHIFT will force Healthstones to show).

I've also modified all macros so that holding ALT will switch to 'Conjure' mode (Highest-Rank Food/Water/ManaGems for Mages - Healthstones for Warlocks)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you use this patch PLEASE don't yell at Tekkub if it doesn't work - yell at ME instead - ok?

Have fun with it

With a one hour cooldown, I can't imagine why anyone would want their hearthstone on their action bars.

Thank you for creating this modification to Buffet, BTW.

It sure is faster but I'd rather have the gem handy for 'moments of crisis' myself

I'll have a look and see if removing the [COMBAT] condition is practical for you when I get a few mins - you could just remove any mention of [COMBAT] in buffet.lua if you wanted to test it tho.

I'm guessing Tekkub chose the Hearthstone because it's the one item EVERY player will have - I did, at one point, remove it and make the macro 'blank' - but in an effort to keep my version in line with the Tekkubs it went back in

That's a hangover of the way the standard Buffet works but I cannot for the life of me work our why you'd use a stone/pot out-of-combat - it's bonkers...

It's not really a plugin either... What I meant was, submit a diff file (aka a patchfile) to me so that I can apply it to my version.

(I've now done this) I can change the patch description o "Buffet - patched to separate Heathstones/ManaGems into 3rd macro" if that helps too... (Also done). I may be new to publically released addons but I've coded addons since I got WoW and I've written freeware/shareware for over 20 years - so I understand the need to support code I'm not trying to wind anyone up - I only posted it here because several people asked for something like it - and I've posted this nowhere but WOWI so it's not like you'll get 1000s of ravening 'Curse Nubs' screaming for your blood Last edited by kerrang : 07-19-08 at 05:13 PM.

Tekkub A Molten Giant Forum posts: 960 File comments: 334 Uploads: 67	There is logic behind my "change the name" condition. I WANT my code to be open, I want people to take it and modify it... but I don't want THEIR versions coming back to me. The problem with "tag a 'reborn' onto the end of the name" versions is that, more often that not, they are a one time "fire it and forget it" submission. Asking people to come up with a new name does three things... keep people from associating the new addon with my version (and thus asking me to fix things in it)... forces the new author to take up a little more responsibility for maintaining their addon... and avoids conflicts (especially in savedvars) if a user switches between them. That being said, if you aren't interested in actually maintaining an addon in the long run, you should submit patches. I don't think I've turned away a patch yet, only feature requests (hey, I don't have all the time in the world here, and I do have specific features I intend for an addon before I ever start writing it.) I'm certainly more open to suggestions when I don't have to do the legwork implementing them. In short... rename, submit patches, whatever ya wish. Just please don't use the original addon name with a word or two tacked on the end. That's the only thing I ask in my license... would you rather I use GPL or some crap that requires you maintain the same license and give credit and not do this or that or 20 other things? I think it's a small thing to ask in return for leaving my code open to anyone and everyone to use under no other conditions, don't you?

The '2 macro' approach simply didn't work for Mages or Warlocks as it locked-out mana/health potions if they had a managem/healthstone on cooldown. Remember that gems have 3 charges and many warlocks use multiple healthstones so this will happen a LOT - and many people stack gems/stones and pots quite frequently. The conjure ability I added just because someone suggested it in the original mod comments What I SHOULD have done is simply zip-up the buffet.lua as a 'patch' for people who want the different approach perhaps? Apologies to the original author but I do think the stone/gem change was essential to making Buffet work properly for mages, warlocks and anyone warlocks give healthstones to...

Just so people don't get confused and ask the wrong person for support or something. Most people would do a search for Buffet and that leaves a 50/50 shot at getting the correct author. Maybe something like "BarFood" or "Tapas Anyone". __________________
