nivBuffs

Version: r24

by: Luzzifus [More]

News

I don't play WoW anymore (at least currently) and do not have an active subscription. So I cannot and will not work on my addons anymore. Sorry.

However, Calebzor has done awesome work in updating and improving this addon, including an ingame config. Check it out here!

About

nivBuffs is a replacement for blizzards default buff frames. It shows your buffs, debuffs and temporary weapon enchants.

Features

Using SecureAuraHeaders, so you can cancel buffs via rightclick!
Remaining duration can be displayed as spiral texture, bar and/or text.
Shows stack count for buffs/debuffs with 2 or more stacks.
Blinking icons for buffs/debuffs that will expire soon.
Sorted by time, name or spell ID.
Custom icon border (change the texture if you don't like it).
Support for custom styling with ButtonFacade.
Differently colored borders for temporary weapon enchants and debuffs.
Debuff highlighting by debuff type.

Config

There is no ingame config (at least not yet), but you can adjust appearance and behaviour in "config.lua" using a text editor.

Known Issues

You can cancel weapon enchants by now, but the second one still references to the first.
Third weapon enchant doesn't work (because of broken Blizzard code).

FAQ

Because some people still have problems with correctly setting up the anchoring and grow direction stuff, here are some examples (r14+). These are only the settings for buffs, but changing the debuffs works the same way.

lua Code:

-- Anchored to topleft corner of the UI,
-- growing horizontally to the right in rows of 20 icons,
-- next row exactly below the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 15, -15 },
buffXoffset = 35,
buffYoffset = 0,
buffIconsPerRow = 20,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 0,
buffWrapYoffset = -55,
 
-- Anchored to topright corner of the UI, 
-- growing horizontally to the left in rows of 20 icons, 
-- next row exactly below the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15, -15 },
buffXoffset = -35,
buffYoffset = 0,
buffIconsPerRow = 20,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 0,
buffWrapYoffset = -55,
 
-- Anchored to topleft corner of the UI, 
-- growing vertically down in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the right of the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPLEFT", 15, -15 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = -35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,
 
-- Anchored to bottomleft corner of the UI,
-- growing vertically up in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the right of the previous
buffAnchor = { "BOTTOMLEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOMLEFT", 15, 250 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = 35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = 35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,
 
-- Anchored to the topleft corner of the minimap,
-- growing vertically down in rows of 15 icons,
-- next row to the left of the previous
buffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "Minimap", "TOPLEFT", -25, 0 },
buffXoffset = 0,
buffYoffset = -35,
buffIconsPerRow = 15,
buffMaxWraps = 10,
buffWrapXoffset = -35,
buffWrapYoffset = 0,

If you need in-depth info about anchoring, read this and this.

TODO

Add third weapon enchant (as soon as Blizzard fixes their code base).
Consolidation (as soon as Blizzard fixes their code base).

Credits

A big "Thank You!" goes to sigg, as he posted this nice tutorial on SecureAuraHeaders in the forums.

r24
- Debuff border coloring now also works with ButtonFacade.

r23
- Removed experimental code that caused more taint errors.
- Added position offset settings for duration text.

r21
- Fixed taint errors with enabled ButtonFacade.
- Added separate font color settings for duration text and stack counter.
- Added position settings for stack counter.

r20
- Fixed that garbage thingy -> mem usage should stay low now.
- Due to patch 4.0.3 the following things now properly work (at least): canceling weapon enchants, sorting and disabling "separateOwn" attribute.

r19
- Added ButtonFacade support (disabled by default, requires ButtonFacade r344+).
- Added options to adjust font, font size and font style.

r17
- The duration spiral doesn't overlap the border anymore.
- Added duration bars inside of the icons.
- Added option to toggle duration bars.
- Added option to toggle duration text timers.

r15
- Added some options which allow vertical growth and more.
- Duration text now can also be placed to the left or right of the icon.

- If you have problems setting it up as you wish, check out the example configs on the description page!

r12
- Fixed duration spirals (again).
- Set "separateOwn" header attribute. So whenever blizz fixes their wonderful code, this will actually make your own buffs not be separated from the others.. *cough*

- Random code improvements.

r10
- Added debuff border coloring by debuff type.
- Added separate scale option for debuffs.

- Remaining time text matches the tooltip time now.

r8
- Even further reduced CPU usage.
- New blinking algorithm.

- Fixed border color error of second weapon enchant (correct icons, tooltip still broken, blame Blizzard).

r7
- Added different border coloring for temporary weapon enchants (item quality) and debuffs (darkred).
- Added option to disable these colored borders.
- Added cooldown spiral for temporary weapon enchants.
- New border texture.
- Reduced CPU usage.
- Removed updateDelay option (not longer neccessary).

r6
- Removed experimental code that caused an error in the SecureAuraHeader code.
- Fixed bug that hides stack count when the cooldown spiral is disabled.

r4
- Growth direction for Dummies.

Aye.. did a clean install, disabled all other addons, and still see the initial spiral...

I did mess with the settings a bit, reloading UI a lot, sometimes it was ok, then the spiral came back...

Spiral texture

Hello! Thanks for this nice addon! One small thing, it seems when not using the spiral cooldown that the buff texture are "modified" a bit.. see it in that picture (150%) that the spiral seems to be there...

My config :

Code:

nivBuffDB = 
{
    -- Anchors = { AnchorFrom, AnchorFrame, AnchorTo, x-offset (horizontal), y-offset (vertical) }
    --> Glue the <AnchorFrom> corner of the header to the <AnchorTo> corner of <AnchorFrame>
    --
    -- See addon description on wowinterface.com for more information and examples!    
    
    buffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -10, -10 },
    debuffAnchor = { "TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -8, -135 },
    
    -- growth direction: 0 -> from left to right, 1 -> from right to left
    buffGrowDir = 1,
    debuffGrowDir = 1,
    
    -- horizontal distance between icons
    buffXoffset = 30,
    debuffXoffset = 30,

    -- scale
    buffScale = 1,
    debuffScale = 1.2,

    iconsPerRow = 15,               -- maximum number of icons in one row before a new row starts
    sortMethod = "TIME",            -- how to sort the buffs/debuffs, possible values are "NAME", "INDEX" or "TIME"
    sortReverse = true,             -- reverse sort order
    showWeaponEnch = true,          -- show or hide temporary weapon enchants
    showDurationSpiral = false,      -- show or hide the duration spiral
    coloredBorder = true,           -- highlight debuffs and weapon enchants with a different border color
    borderBrightness = 0.25,        -- brightness of the default non-colored icon border ( 0 -> black, 1 -> white )
    blinkTime = 6,                  -- a buff/debuff icon will blink when it expires in less than x seconds, set to 0 to disable
    blinkSpeed = 0.75,                -- blinking speed as number of blink cycles per second
    durationPos = "BOTTOM",         -- position of remaining time text, possible values are "TOP" or "BOTTOM"

    -- font color for cooldown text and stack count
    fontColor = { r = 1.0, g = 1.0, b = 0.4 },
}

kbc8090 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 73 Uploads: 0	The new changes are slightly worse on cpu (very minor) but i'm anal. Could it be because the following is within the do loop? Code: BuffFrame:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_AURA") BuffFrame:Hide() TemporaryEnchantFrame:Hide() ConsolidatedBuffs:Hide() Or the new hookscript? Also some reason these changes made the buffs insanely small, I basically reverted to last version with my own changes. There was also like a 1/4 of a cooldown pie on my blood presence icon, not sure why that was showing up, seems like its related to the deletion of the makeOpaque function.

Fixed in r11, thanks for reporting it!

I guess the Register event for UNIT_AURA doesn't fire when weapon enchants are initially put on, I have to trigger an additional buff for them to show up. Probably a blizzard bug?

It has already come to my attention, but I didn't find a way to fix it. UNIT_AURA still seems to fire, just the secure header doesn't update if there are no other buffs.

Originally posted by kit0123
excuse me for bordering again, I wanna ask how I can change the size of the duration text which is below the buff/debuff, at the time being , I can only figure out the modification for the font style but not the font size.

You'd have to pick one of the FontObject presets (see here) and change them in lines 50 (duration) and 62 (stack counter) of "nivBuffs.lua". But it's still on my todo-list to add more font options. ^^

Your assumption is correct.

Ael A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Once again, babies and all that Just a quick question: I've noticed that auras which have no duration, are treated as having "0 seconds left" when sorted by time, as apposed to "99999 seconds left". So the buffs are sorted: 1 h - 30 m - 30 s - 10 s - Aura What I would like is for auras to be first. Like: Aura - 1 h - 30 m - 30 s - 10 s Seeing as they have "more" time left than anything else. Is this something that can be changed on your part or is it Blizzards sort-method that forces the buffs to be sorted that way? I'm assuming the latter, just want to make sure ^^
