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

For what its worth, the partypet buttons show up with native Blizzard interface, so it may be an XPerl issue. /shrug

PartyPet buttons are working here, both with the Blizzard normal UI and the Blizzard compact UI. I downloaded XPerl, but I had no time to install it yet. But from looking at the code, XPerl should be working too.

2.0b4 was the last version that the party pet buttons worked with. According to Tay, he's fixed it in the latest beta.

EDIT: I can confirm that the pet buttons show up with RC1, using the native WoW UI (not XPerl).

Re: Re: Dim debuff for only my debuff command?

But it's only implemented for BUFF buttons at the moment.

I just coded it into DEBUFF too, so this will be included in the next version.

Tay, FYI, file conditions.txt does not reflect this latest change (it only mentions $ with Buffs, and not for Debuffs).

Also, can "!" and "$" be used together?

Can't remember the syntax.

tayedaen A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 191 Uploads: 6	Status update: I am working hard at beta6 at the moment. Thanks to the beta testers I found (and fixed) a lot of small errors. Unfortunately I had a lot of problems with the new Blizzard compact frames. To get the buttons casting the spells to the right party/raid member needed a lot of internal changes. The problem was, that XUB was (historically) expecting that Frame1 belonged to the unit 'party1'. A proper fix for this is now coded in beta 6. There is yet another problem that needs fixing: Custom Buttons disappeared when entering an instance or zoning in the world. This problem is not completely covered yet. I am working hard to get this fixed, and then I will send out beta6 to the beta testers. stay tuned tay

Re: Re: Re: Re: status update

[i]
Just curious, what things are changing in 4.03? [/b]

I think Blizzard planned a lot of changes in the UI/API area.
But they released 4.0x before all these changes were finished.

At the moment there are differences between 4.01 and cataclysm beta.
I think Blizzard is working hard to iron out all inconsistencies at the moment.
So the final Cataclysm will be even more polished, more advanced then the beta is now.

But still an API change is an API change, and I'll have to change my code according to it.
An example that we've already seen is 'GetItemCooldown'.
Blizzard changed the API so it no longer works with 'itemName', it now needs the 'itemID'.
There are more (similar) changes like that, and I expect some more for the final release of cataclysm.

So that's the reason why I don't want to change too many things now.
I want to avoid the situation where I write new code that is no longer working with cataclysm.
So I delay some changes till I have a stable API with 4.03.

P.S. Edited for readybility
