Qorey's Buff Bars

Version: 1.0.7
by: qorey [More]

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.
  • Right clicking on a "Missing Buff: " bar wil spam raid or party depending upon your group status, and will do nothing if you're solo.

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 to be zoned into an instance. (This is to prevent these missing bars from showing up in a battleground.)

Configuration commands:
/QBB
/QoreysBuffBars

Known issues:
  • Add Dalaran Intellect to the list of AI buffs - Completed!
  • 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

"To Do list" in no order:
  1. Add an option to remove icon borders
  2. Add an option to add a font outline
  3. Fix Bugs, and report any original author
  4. Add an option for flashing bars when the buffs are about to expire
  5. Add cooldown timers for spells with internal cooldowns (Eclipse/trinkets)
  6. When right clicking a Missing Buff, have an option to whisper everyone in the raid/party that match the class that gives the buff.

I can confirm 1.0.5 fixed any errors related to temporary weapon enchants on my warlock.

I hear you. Same thing happens in my raids - people freak out that they're missing AB, but they actually have DB. We have an anal mage in our raids who gets mad when we overwrite it, so they spend another powder putting the DB icon back on... but like I said, I thought there was only DB, not DI. This should be really easy to code.

I can look into that, but it's not high on my priority list. I'll add it to the "to do" section.

First off, what class were you playing on? Right now, the paladin "blessing check" will not count how many paladins are in your group. This was debated for a long time with my wife on how I wanted to handle this. I was going to count how many paladins are in your group, and provide a priority system on which blessing are the most important. In the end, we prefered the current way, because as of right now, as a mage, you could either want Kings or Wisdom (or as a rogue - Kings/Might), and I'll leave it up to the eyes of the beholder to determine which is better in which case (do you need to stack a little more HP for the undergeared healer in your 5man group, or can you go all out with might?)

So, the way it works now, is if you're a mage, it will always tell you that you're missing kings and wisdom, even if there's only one paladin that could give you one of these buffs. My wife and I decided we would rather be reminded that we're missing one of those, instead of assuming that everything's perfect because there's no red "missing buffs" to glance at. It forces you to look at your buffs and put some thought into what might want at any given time.

What makes it worse about all of this is if you're a tanking class. It will also check if you have blessing of Sanctuary. if I was getting that specific with these buffs, and counting how many paladins I have, etcetc, I would also have to verify the character's tanking spec to verify if blessing of sanc is even useful to you. This would be easy for any class except DK, which "can tank with any spec lol!" so in the end it would still bug "someone." Unless I can think of a better way to handle this entire mess, I'd rather keep it as is. I already have it verifying the spec for classes like Druids and Shamans to verify what flask would be required (melee, caster, healer).

Keep up the good work

Heya, just popping in to say I really love the addon so far, one of the first buffbars I find really helpful

Some missing buffs I found today are:

Vigiliance (Prot War talent, passive buff)
Berserk (Proc from Berserking weapon enchant)

Hope this helps!
Glad you like it! I'll add these missing buffs tonight before I raid.

Also for those of us who use Minion to update addons, could you upload in Zip format instead?
I'll look into the icon borders for you and possibly add a checkbox in the config. Zip format works for me, I just find it slower (Crappy windows compressed folders) and the compression isn't as thorough.

I believe the temporary enchants bug is fixed - I did some thorough testing on my 70 lock. Please report if there's any issues. For those who are concerned: It wasn't a bug with the original author's code, it was something I broke

I also added the two grey buffs reported. <3

I'll be working on the temporary weapon enchant bug and update the grey buffs listed below sometime tonight. I'll be sure to have that temporary enchant bug resolved, unless it requires some major rewrite of the original code, in which case it may not be ready until tomorrow evening.

Thanks again for the support and testing <3

Once I actually have more time (maybe Sunday night?) I'll actually crack down and do some major debugging instead of trying these quick fixes.

Let me know how it goes!
Following error is still there bud.

[2009/09/06 09:20:17-2274-x10]: QoreysBuffBars\QoreysBuffBars.lua:1028: table index is nil
QoreysBuffBars\QoreysBuffBars.lua:1206: in function <Interface\AddOns\QoreysBuffBars\QoreysBuffBars.lua:1189>

Let me know if I can help

Re: Re: table index error

Yes, it's my rogue's poisons. Thanks for the info, I'll wait for an update.

Btw, Scroll of Strength VII and Lesser Flask of Toughness are grey on my warrior.

This is a known bug AFAIK, do you play a class which uses temporary weapon enchants like say warlock, rogue or shaman. If not please report a bug for this.

The author is working to fix this, try to see if you remove that weapon enchant does that error still pop up. If the error still persist after removing the temporary weapon enchant, please report this as a new bug.
