Buffwatch++ Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Buffwatch is a buff monitoring tool for all classes which lets you easily and clearly keep track of any buffs on yourself or your party/raid, and also allows you to quickly recast your buffs at the click of a button.

You choose which buffs you want to monitor and Buffwatch lets you know when they have run out, with clickable buttons to recast them.

Buffwatch can be used to :

Keep an eye on buffs that you want to keep up during a raid (eg. Paladin blessings, AI, MotW, Fortitude)
Making sure you keep your Aura in range of your party, or vice-versa.
Tracking other peoples buffs (eg Soulstones), perhaps as a Raid Leader
Show how long is left on the buffs you cast on other players

How to use :

Make sure the buffs you want to monitor are on the relevant players
Tick the checkbox next to each player which locks those buffs to the player (alternatively tick the checkbox at the top to lock them all)
Remove monitoring of the buffs you are not interested in using the following methods :
Alt-Right Click to remove the selected buff
Alt-Left Click to remove all buffs but the selected one

Buffs that have expired will turn red, and clicking on them will recast the buff on the player (if you have the spell)

Other features :

Locked buff settings are saved between sessions or players joining/leaving your group.
Left click the player name to target that player
Right click the player name to assist that player
Right click the Buffwatch header for options
Additional options to filter on buffs you can cast or buffs you have cast.

Type /buffwatch or /bfw in-game for further info.

I know there is a bug in there somwhere, as I have had it in the past, but like twice in the last 6 months.. and up until recently I was playing every day, it's just being a nightmare to track this one down.

Switched back to SmartBuff a couple weeks ago after its author fixed dual spec recognition, so no, have not seen it further as I haven't been using the mod.

Good luck tracking the bug down

This was something that took ages to debug before I released 3.16, I thought I had nailed it, but was only doing reloads to test it. For me the frame is fine if I reload, but does move left or right (depending on tha anchor setting and the position of the frame on the screen) when I relog.

It seems as though the code to position the frame wasn't effective when logging in.. but I'm pretty sure that has been fixed now with 3.17. Thanks for reporting it

I jumped on with my test char (which is just a lock with a pet), and couldn't reproduce the error, will have to try some more testing with a proper group of players tomorrow.

Zidomo A Cyclonian Forum posts: 41 File comments: 651 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the reply and the quick effort at fixing it. But it unfortunately seems to have regressed instead of progressed. There was a second error that occurred soon after my first post, but in WoW 3.2.0 live with v3.15a instead of WoW 3.1.3. As previously noted, both this and the originally reported error did not interfere with buff reporting or clicking: ["message"] = "Buffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:1496: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'expTime' (a nil value)\nBuffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:823: in function `Buffwatch_GetPlayerInfo'\nBuffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:729: in function `Buffwatch_Set_UNIT_IDs'\nBuffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:250: in function `Buffwatch_OnEvent'\n<string>:\":OnEvent\":1: in function <[string \":OnEvent\"]:1>\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["time"] = "2009/08/05 00:24:50", ["session"] = 1097, ["counter"] = 1 But now with the latest problems with v3.16, the mod has become unusable. Using v3.16, WoW 3.2.0 live, USEnglish client/server in a 10-man raid. See people in BuffWatch. Click the check marks on the left to activate all of them. Then start to ALT-rightclick the buffs you have not cast to remove them from the list. Two errors thrown up at the same time when you ALT-rightclick the first buff to remove from someone: ["message"] = "Buffwatch-3.16\\Buffwatch.lua:1300: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)\nBuffwatch-3.16\\Buffwatch.lua:864: in function `Buffwatch_GetPlayerInfo'\nBuffwatch-3.16\\Buffwatch.lua:769: in function `Buffwatch_Set_UNIT_IDs'\nBuffwatch-3.16\\Buffwatch.lua:288: in function `Buffwatch_OnEvent'\n<string>:\":OnEvent\":1: in function <[string \":OnEvent\"]:1>\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["time"] = "2009/08/08 20:43:21", ["session"] = 1176, ["counter"] = 1 ["message"] = "Buffwatch-3.16\\Buffwatch.lua:1300: attempt to index field '?'

Pup A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 11 Uploads: 1	Ok cheers for reporting it. I have a feeling this might be the same error that has been around for a few versions now, but has been nigh on impossible to track down let alone reproduce. It seems to happen when buffwatch wants to update (due to buff changes or raid member changes most likely), while you are in combat.. so it delays the update until combat is over. If it is the same one, in the past I had a feeling it was due to a player with a pet (eg. a lock) joining the party/raid while in combat, but I just couldn't reproduce it. I'll keep trying with this one though. 3.16 has just gone up, let me know if you still get it with that anyways, I expect you will.

Zidomo A Cyclonian Forum posts: 41 File comments: 651 Uploads: 0	Returned to this mod last week after a long time away. Changed over to ZOMGBuffs, but since WotLK was released its been buggy as heck. Then changed to SmartBuff, but it doesn't handle buff tracking after dual-spec changes properly. Then changed to Cork. But the giant tooltip it has being unable to be hidden in combat & popping up when people/pets die in combat is a major pain. So came back here . Has been working well. But a bug has recently occurred with v3.15a here. USEnglish client/server, WoW 3.1.3 live. In a 10 man Ulduar raid on a Mage. Set Buffwatch++ to keep track of Arcane Brilliance on all raid members, along with Focus Magic on one player. Sometime during the raid, the following error occurred (recorded with BugSack/BugGrabber mods): ["message"] = "Buffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:1153: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)\nBuffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:1647: in function `Buffwatch_Process_InCombat_Events'\nBuffwatch-3.15a\\Buffwatch.lua:284: in function `Buffwatch_OnEvent'\n<string>:\":OnEvent\":1: in function <[string \":OnEvent\"]:1>\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["counter"] = 1

Pup A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 11 Uploads: 1	Heh aye Obviously the addon is a generic buff tracker, so you'll just have to remove the buffs you dont want to track with Alt-Right Click. One thing I would like to do in the future is to create a template manager, so you can quickly load in a preset set of buffs for any player on your list. However, I can't see that being a quick change to do, and I don't have the time at present.. but hopefully something I can add in one day. For the expanding, it currently expands in a direction based on where you put it on the screen.. if you put the window in the top left of your screen, it will expand down and to the right.. if you put it in the bottom left, it will expand up and to the right.. etc. To be honest I don't like the way it works, it seemed like a nice idea at the time, but as it happens the next change I am already working on is to allow the user to select the anchor point themselves.

Lil more than I need sort of... I dont want to track so many things but I can deal. At least I have a quick way to see if my main guys are out of range.. big help thanks a ton. Any chance of expanding up instead of just down? (I know peeps are never happy are we.. lol) thanks again

Eba A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	totems? Hi i was wondering if this would work for totems. I run a resto shammy and I"m always tryin to keep up with my tanks and melees, trying to keep them in range of what they need and my casters in back with mana etc... Obviously one of the problems is they can end up in/out/in/out of range in a dancing type fight and I'm usually way busy so I'm not looking all over at party windows trying to see whose in range or not. Would be handy to find something like this that would keep up. Using healbot but it only does my castable buffs atm that I have found. I heard grid does but I hate to change been healbot guy for a long time. thanks,

shkm A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 165 File comments: 90 Uploads: 6	This addon is my god. I've been using it for quite some time and just recommended it to my guild's paladins, after having realised we're spending ages on buffing. I'm one of these paladins. My only concern has ever been the minimise button: it's ugly. How about a ctrl/shift/alt+click option to minimise whilst hiding this button? Thank you. Last edited by shkm : 04-24-2009 at 12:10 PM.

You probably know by now, but this was a bug in the wow patch, and was fixed in the next patch 2.3.something

New version is now up for 3.0.1/3.0.2, please note that it doesnt work with 2.4.3.
