QoreysBuffBars - My "work in progress"

(QUOTE) | (REPLY)

My buff mod has been released and is now on WoWi:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info14618-QoreysBuffBars.html


Qorey's Buff Bars is another buff bar mod based off of SimpleBuffBars with added functionality to help you manage not only what buffs you are missing in a raid or party, but also help you locate specific buffs by colorizing them by name. This is the first official release of this mod by request of others so expect there to be minor issues and please review the list of known bugs at the end of this post. I do not take credit for the original work - the original work was completed by Shadowed of WoWinterface.

Notes from the wife:
*** If you have buffs showing up as a GRAY bar, please report them here, as those are things that haven't been given a category yet and need to be added to the table. Thanks! ***


Features include:

• Customizable colors based on the buff's name, narrowed down into specific categories - Proc Buffs (Trinkets, Idols, etc), Class Specific Buffs (Molton Armor, Eclipse), Boss Specific Buffs, Important Buffs (flasks, well fed), Tracking/Healing Buffs (Rejuvination, Find Minerals, Renew, etc), Normal buffs (Blessing of Kings, PW: Fort, etc)

• An all new Missing Buff Bars that are attachable to any other grouping (buffs, debuffs), or freely movable. See below for more details.


The Missing Buff Bars are what I like to call "smart" bars, meaning they will only show up if:

1.You can provide the buff yourself (Mage - Arcane Int, Priest - PW:Fort, etc)
2.A class in your party (or raid) can provide the buff [For example, you will not see that you're missing Divine Spirit if you do not have a priest in your party]
3.You do not already have the buff
4.If the buff benefits you in some way. [For example, if you're a rogue, you'll never see: Missing: Blessing of Wisdom or Missing: Arcane Intellect]
The Missing Buff Bars will also track if you're missing "Well Fed" and a flask, but only in a raid, and you have you be zoned into an instance. (This is to prevent these missing bars from showing up in a battleground.)

Configuration commands:
/QBB
/QoreysBuffBars

Known issues:
•There appears to be an issue with Temporary Enchant Buff bars (weapon enchant->poisons, etc) where the bars don't update properly when you hearth, and I also saw an LUA error reported to me but I've been unable to recreate it.
• Disabling icons in the configuration menu will not remove the icons until you /reload
• If you're a paladin, it will always show you missing all 4 blessings. I'm debating how to handle this, and will probably make it so if you're solo or in a party, to remove all missing bars if you have one blessing on you. Otherwise I'd have to make a count of how many paladins in your party/raid and possibly determine a priority list to ensure you have the best blessings possible... ugh

I'll add it in the comments for you. I don't think I can add it to the chat window since blizzard might freak out and think it's a donation spam. :)

Also, I don't know how publicly I can release this. The author didnt use any license, and when my wife asked if I could re-release it, he said he would prefer if I didn't unless it was a major rewrite. What constitutes as "major", I'm not sure, but we'll see.

I would definitely use it. I use Elkano's right now, and I would love to try something different. Elkano's just seems to be lacking some things, that it looks like you may have added. =) But if I use it my request is that instead of Nightsbane is king, put nightsbane is full of fail.

dear god,

Please forgive me for cutting nightsbane's hands off, he was useless. I repent, and I know you are full of forgiveness, unlike the fail nightsbane is full of.

love,
driud

GREAT SUGGESTIONS EVERYONE. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!

:P

Seriously though, if anyone has any requests, please let me know. My current ToDo list is:

* Consider making the buff bars flash (smoothly, without being annoying) when they're about to drop off (Configurable)
* Make the custom colors configurable via /sbb
* Add the buffs reported from ALL OF YOU. :D

Update original post/bump.

I'm looking for a paladin , a hunter, a warrior, and a warlock to test this mod for the class specific buffs. Let me know if you're interested.

I can try it if it helps.

Does it have a way to sort buffs (e.g. make a short buff set of bars sorted by duration?) just wondering!

I'll need more of an explanation of this..

Right now it has 3 buff groups: Buffs, Debuffs, and Temporary Enchants (weapon enchants/ poisons)

The buffs are sorted as follows:

Tracking Buff on top
Buffs without duration (Haunted,Any of the tabard buffs, mounts, etc)
(and it groups like-buffs together, but I don't rememebr exactly the order)
* Boss Buffs (Hodir buffs, and any other rawsome dps buff you get)
* Healing Buffs (rejuv/renew/etc)
* Class Specific Buffs (Molton armor, evocation, etc)
* Important Buffs (well fed, flasks, bloodlust)
* Proc Buffs (trinkets/other procs)
* Missing Buffs

so it does have a sorting, but it doesnt' allow you to create a new "grouping" for buffs. It's a possibility, but it might be difficult until I understand the code a little more.
