ATTENTION
This addon contains no in-game configuration and is instead configured by editing values in the Lua files. If you are not comfortable doing this and require in-game configuration, this addon may not be for you. There are no current plans to add any in-game configuration.
Description
This addon is a fork (with permission) of bBuffBars by blt. It contains (currently) a few bug fixes for edge cases, as well as some visual changes, such as different colours for different types/durations of buffs/debuffs, custom highlighting and custom stack counts. All credit for the original code and addon goes to blt, this version simply contains my own personal edits for my own UI.

Okay, after testing on a different character I now see the bug. It's related to weapon enchantments (which is why I didn't notice this problem on my warlock, but just testing now on my rogue, I do).
Now the problem is this seems to actually be a Blizzard bug. Instead of fixing the countless issues and bugs already in their SecureAuraHeader code, they have instead added new ones with patch 4.3. I found these threads related to the problem: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2868633701#1 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3580989647 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3424690010 http://www.tukui.org/forums/topic.php?id=17050 Right now I'm not sure there is any work around, except to disable weapon enchantments from showing on the bar (i.e. set includeWeapons to nil). I will look into the issue some more but for now, I don't know if there is anything I can do since the problem is in Blizzard's protected code that addons can't touch.

Thanks a lot for fast reply with so much in-deep info.
It's sad that we can't do much with SecureAuraHeaderTemplates. But the question is - do we even need to use it for debuffs? You named that the main reason for SecureAuraHeaderTemplates is to be able to click-off auras in combat. Which is awesome for buffs, but void for debuffs as we can't remove those anyway. So is there any other reason to actually use SecureAuraHeaderTemplates for debuffs? Would not it be possible to just do debuffs "the other way" like other addons and add features like filtering? Or is there any issue that makes it undesirable? I admit that I don't know much about this stuff, but I can imagine that with the "other method" you may need to for example scan auras manually. Which kinda goes against the lightweight philosophy of bBuffBars, doesn't it? |

To ditch the SecureAuraHeaderTemplate debuff header and create those frames with manual scanning etc. would certainly be possible, and would allow the addition of blacklists or whitelists or whatever. The problem is that very little (complete guess: maybe 10 to 20%) of the code currently in bBuffBars would be reusable for this purpose, compared to the current situation of debuffs reusing 90%+ of the buff code. So essentially it would just be coding a classic-style uncancelable buff/debuff addon with all its own event code, frame code, etc. and tacking it on to the end of the current addon with very little interaction. Functionality-wise, it's a clearly winning idea since the shackles on SecureAuraHeaderTemplate don't win us anything when it comes to debuffs. However from a practical standpoint, it's much more difficult and basically boils down to starting from scratch since so little of the current code can be used in the non-secure alternative. So while it's certainly possible, it's probably outside the scope of what I personally want to do with this addon given that I don't have a burning need for this kind of thing myself. |

I just want to thank you for tweaking what was a great mod into a PERFECT mod. I think bbuffbars is, bar none (heh), the best bar mod since Cata came out. It's been a very well-kept secret, but I couldn't live without it. Your tweaks make it even BETTER, though. Many, many thanks to both you and the original author!
