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).
