eXtreme Unit Buttons

Version: v2.0

by: tayedaen [More]

This highly configurable mod allows players to associate buttons to unit frames. It is meant as a replacement to GroupButtons which stopped functioning with the 2.0 patch in December 2006. The mod extends the capabilities of GroupButtons by providing these additional features:

an unlimited number of buttons per unit frame
Buttons which turn on/off depending on the amount of damage a unit has
Buttons which are dimmed if a unit as that buff or a related buff applied.
Buttons which appear when a debuff is applied to a unit.
Buttons which allow you to have any type of "/" slash or macro command on a button
A variety of a modes for different activities in the game. For example, a set of buttons
for soloing, buttons for instances, buttons for raids, buttons for specific bosses (such as Baron Geddon in MC (to all priests to debuff), buttons for PvP, etc.
Assign buttons to unit frames that when clicked cast spells on different units. This feature allows, for example, buffs and heals for the player unit to appear within the target buttons to minimize the amount of mouse movement between buttons.
Works for any kind of non-casting classes; specifically warriors and rogues.

Version 2.0 (Dec 06, 2010) (by tayedaen)

I know that the documentation is a complete mess at the moment, I am already working on it.
But I wanted to have a released version for cataclysm start.

Before upgrading, please read the included 'readme.txt'.

You will loose your config, so read carefully !

Hightlights of the changes since the last official release:

Code:

New: Support for default profiles for spec1 and spec 2
New: Wizards for Group and Profile generation
 Please use them !
New: LDB button (and menu)
New: Default Buttons now always use the Prefix 'SB_'
 This is an abbreviation for StandardButton.
 I recommend to use 'CB_' as prefix for custom buttons.
New: '$' self condition for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
 Example: CB_Renew,buff,Renew,$Renew
 This custom buutton will only chnge to the state BUFFED if the destination unit is buffed with your OWN Renew.
New: '!' inverts conditions for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
New: new debuff condition "Death"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit is dead.
New: new debuff condition "Purge"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit has at least one buff to purge.
New: two keywords for exclude-units:
  'hostile'   and    'friendly'
  Example: MyGroupName,SB_Renew,*,hostile
  This button will be hidden on hostile units (= it will only be shown on friendly units)
New: Spell ranks have been removed (multiranking too)
New: Macro buttons support now '[target=unit#]'
 Here unit# will be rpalced at runtime with the unit the button is attached to.
 Example: /target [target=unit#]
Improved: Verification of buttons while configuring the addon

And last but not least: 
!!! Improved: Internals are mostly rewritten from scratch for better performance  !!!

Please refer to 'z_historic_Changelog.txt' for older changes.

Known problems:
XPerl's partypets get no buttons

Known blizzard bugs:
------------------------
'isUsableSpell' is broken, there is nothing I can do to change that.
That means: Some spells are reported 'not usable' if you target a hostile target or NPC (like 'PowerWord: Shield' for example).

Enjoy - Tayedaen

RL prevented me from doing that earlier.

So this project is NOT dead, and I hope to release something 'soon' (tm).

Awesome!

Now... is that 'soon' Blizzard timescale, or 'soon' Duke Nukem timescale?

It'll be great to see what's next for XUB for sure!

(If you try to edit the variable file by hand, MAKE A BACKUP, if XUB has any problem with what you enter, it'll wipe ALL of your settings with a fresh generic saved variable file!) I can now force the anchor spot by changing it in the variable file, but it still won't save from the drop down list in the config.

Grumwha A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	Button locations Ever since they took out the manual x/y positioning adjustments, my buttons have been locked into an odd spot too. No matter where I choose to have the anchor location, it ALWAYS stays the same now. I use the default Blizzard UI, and now my first button is half way under the party/raid frame . So, now I have a fairly useless button in that first slot.

Stjabo A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Button placement.... I love this addon. I'm another one of those who loved group buttons. This is the best replacement I've seen. I'm having a couple of issues with placement: 1. The "First Button Anchor" setting on the Options screen will not save. I can choose "Right" and "Save Changes". The bar will not move and when I go back to the Options screen it still says "TopRight". I was able to get around this by using Wordpad to manually edit the .lua file in the WTF folder. 2. Unfortunately, manually editing the .lua file doesn't seem to help with the X/Y offset. This a problem because X-perl's level, number-of-players-targeting and class icon cover up the first button on the target frame. 3. The third issue is that it makes sense for buttons to have different anchors depending on which frame they're attached to. To clarify: it makes sense for the party buttons to be to the side of the frames. However, if they're anchored to the side of the player frame, then they overlap the target frame. I'd like to be able to have party buttons anchored to the right side and self / target buttons anchored to the bottom. Thanks for taking the time to work on this mod. I'm so glad I found it. edit: using v1.9b14 Last edited by Stjabo : 12-18-09 at 05:16 PM.

If you post your script here, I'll take a look at it and see if anything obvious xub script-wise is missing/wrong.

hijacking reply here. I'm using plain old blizzard frames so far as I know.... only time I see my buttons is at the top of the screen right after I do 'save' after a verify. My buttons are all target buttons for now. Not sure what to look at next.

edit: nevermind.... apparently, it helps to test the target bar on an actual 'you should be trying to kill this thing' npc and not some green villager. whodathunk?

PhyrraM A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I know this is still a work in progress, so I tryied to figuree it out on my own first. But, for me I can't seem to get the health, buff, buffblink, ect. functions to work. from my understanding of the PDF file and these posts, all of the following should hide or blink the corresponding button, correct? _AutoRenew,health,Renew,,50 _AutoFlashHeal,health,Flash Heal,,1300 _AutoGreaterHeal,healthblink,Greater Heal,,3000 _AutoFort,buffblink,Power Word: Fortitude,,Prayer of Fortitude/Power Word: Fortitude _AutoShield,buff,Power Word: Shield,,Weakened Soul/Power Word: Shield All of them have normal, "always on", working buttons. I'm using Pitbull 4 unitframes (no apparent issues), if it matters. Thanks for a choosing to maintain a great add-on and any help you can provide.

No problem, glad to help. I was in the same boat, but for me, I discovered the problem DURING a run, when I wanted to change the size of the partypet buttons! :/ Luckily, I mapped the most vital buttons on WoW toolbar #2, so I got by.

Yeah, I had a hard time getting the ag_UnitFrames frame names too, the add-on you suggested (which I downloaded and used) wouldn't work when mousing over the aguf frames. However, when I moused over the buffs under the frames, the 'parent frame' information showed the party bar frame names (luckily!).
