Buffoon

Version: v1.4

by: Jzar [More]

Buffoon is a buff mod that's inspired by one feature from X-Perl: it shows you who cast what buffs on you, and who's missing it still. Since I recently switched from X-Perl to Shadowed UF, I quickly started missing this feature, so I wrote my own implementation of it. Enjoy!

Commands:
/buffoon {toggle | on | off} -- Turns the addon on and off entirely.
/buffoon {solo | party | raid} -- Solo shows info all the time, party shows only in party or raid, raid shows only in raid.
/buffoon {caster | buffed | unbuffed} -- These options are NOT mutually exclusive. They make the addon show the caster, and/or the players that DO or DO NOT also have the buff.
/buffoon groups -- Toggles between show in groups, and show all together modes when in raid.
/buffoon extras -- Toggles showing extra raiders, defaults to off. With this off, raid members in a 10 man raid and in any subgroup > 2 will not display in the tooltip, same with anyone in a subgroup > 5 in a 25 man raid.
/buffoon status -- Shows current setting states

(If you're curious, my buff mod from that screenshot is Simple Buff Bars, and my tooltip is TipTac)

v1.4
- Added filter for raiders in subgroups outside your current raid difficulty. /buffoon extras to toggle it.
- Also ... decided that Lua != C++, and it looks better without all those extraneous semi-colons. :S

v1.3
- Made Buffoon work on enemies now too! Also has a new slash command to toggle showing the caster

v1.2
- Cleaning up database initialization

v1.1
- (I don't remember. :S)

v1.0
- Initial Release

After you get this, for 5.2 change line 155 to the following:

Code:

		local maxMembers = (group == "raid") and ((select(3, GetInstanceInfo()) == 4 or select(3, GetInstanceInfo()) == 6) and 10 or 25) or 1

Just download the latest version, my friend.

You don't even have to change anything, this is now default behavior.

Well done

Since I recently switched from X-Perl to Shadowed UF, I quickly started missing this feature, so I wrote my own implementation of it.

This is exactly the same thing that I did and went looking for an addon that showed the caster of buffs. Thanks for making this!

It's Satrina Buff Frames automatically adding the name of the caster to the tooltip, but there is an option to hide it. For me it's easier just to disable it in Buffoon now that that's an option, rather than disabling it for every new frame I create in SBF (and personally I prefer SBFs way of displaying the caster, but that doesn't mean it's better ) The difference is basically this: With Buffoon: Caster: Catbeartree Without buff: Deadmage, AfkDK, Didntbuysymbolsloladin With SBF + Buffoon (caster disabled): Without buff: Deadmage, AfkDK, Didntbuysymbolsloladin Catbeartree Last edited by Selindriel : 05-26-10 at 05:57 PM.

Selindriel, I'd personally say you should find out what the other mod is and disable it. Nonetheless, I've added an option to toggle showing the caster. Type /buffoon caster to disable it.

Habik, I've noticed that too, but I've never really been motivated enough to try to track down why it wasn't working on debuffs. At your behest though, I've fixed it. The reason it wasn't working can be described by a description from WoWWiki of the third (optional) argument we can pass to UnitAura:

By default UnitAura has "HELPFUL" as an implicit filter

In other words, it was filtering it out automatically because you weren't looking at buffs that are helpful to you. My fix was to change the line that get's the caster's name like this:

Code:

local caster = select(8, UnitAura(unitId, auraIndex)) or select(8, UnitAura(unitId, auraIndex, "HARMFUL"));

Hope this is helpful! As always, let me know if you have any other problems to report or feature requests. Happy WoWing!

Apparently I'm running an addon that adds the name of the caster at the bottom of the tooltip, which means I get that info twice. Is it possible to add an option to toggle on/off the "caster" line?

habik A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 64 Uploads: 0	europe btw I wanted to also have the names from the people, who put debuffs on bosses. As far as I've seen this isn't possible with your addon. The last hours I tried to achieve this but it does not work because SetUnitAura seems not to differentiate between buffs and debuffs. Did you ever tried to do this?
