Seems like that short fix also fixed a 2nd problem I noticed.

Previously if the same shield was applied twice (priest healing shield) Sheild Bars would only show the bar for the first shield applied and would then show the 2nd shield once the first expired. Now both shields are shown.

Here's the other shield additions I've added. (This list will grow as I test them.) I've not set the bar colors so they'll need to be adjusted for your liking.

Code:

[138668] = { name = "Frost Bulwark", duration = 10, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_frost_chillingarmor", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },  -- mages spell steal from mobs in ToT
[108366] = { name = "Soul Leech", duration = 15, priority = 1, tip = 1, icon = "warlock_siphonlife", r = 0.77, g = 0.12, b = 0.23 },

Added but in the untested list.

Code:

[137552] = { name = "Crystal Shell 1", duration = 60, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_frost_chillingarmor", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[137633] = { name = "Crystal Shell 2", duration = 60, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_frost_chillingarmor", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[137648] = { name = "Crystal Shell 3", duration = 60, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_frost_chillingarmor", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[138979] = { name = "Soul Barrier", duration = 20, priority = 1, school = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_warlock_demonsoul", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[138925] = { name = "Zandalari Warding", duration = 15, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 3, icon = "spell_fire_twilightfireward", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[140380] = { name = "Shield of Hydra Sputum", duration = 15, priority = 1, tip = 1, line = 5, icon = "ability_creature_poison_06", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },
[136070] = { name = "Guard", duration = 30, priority = 2, school = 126, tip = 1, line = 5, icon = "Ability_Monk_Guard", r = 0.0, g = 0.7, b = 0.4 },

I borrowed my wife's warlock to do this so I won't be testing this under normal playing conditions. Hopefully the author will add this fix for the next update along with the newer shield spells (3 from trinkets, 1 warlock, 1 mob shield that mages can spell steal, etc.). Thanks.

My raid for the evening was cancelled so I poked around and looks like I've got it working.

File ShieldBars.lua, somewhere near line 1095 you'll see code similar to this:

Code:

			elseif (data.active and data.shieldState == 2) then
				local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId, canApplyAura, isBossDebuff, value1, value2, value3 = UnitBuff("player", data.name, data.rank);
				if (spellId == data.spellID) then
					if (value1 and type(value1) == "number" and value1 > 0 and data.current ~= value1) then
						barUpdate = true;
						data.current = value1;
					end
					if (not spellId) then
						data.shieldState = nil;
						ShieldBars:ShieldDown(data.spellID, shieldSpells[data.spellID], data.casterGUID);
					end
				end
			end
		end

You want to change this to:

Code:

			elseif (data.active and data.shieldState == 2) then
				local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId, canApplyAura, isBossDebuff, value1, value2, value3 = UnitBuff("player", data.name, data.rank);
				if (spellId == data.spellID) then
					if (value1 and type(value1) == "number" and value1 > 0 and data.current ~= value1) then
						barUpdate = true;
						data.current = value1;
					elseif (value2 and type(value2) == "number" and value2 > 0 and data.current ~= value2) then
						barUpdate = true;
						data.current = value2;
						data.expires = expirationTime;
						data.duration = data.expires - currentTime;
					end
					if (not spellId) then
						data.shieldState = nil;
						ShieldBars:ShieldDown(data.spellID, shieldSpells[data.spellID], data.casterGUID);
					end
				end
			end
		end

The difference is the addition of:

Code:

					elseif (value2 and type(value2) == "number" and value2 > 0 and data.current ~= value2) then
						barUpdate = true;
						data.current = value2;
						data.expires = expirationTime;
						data.duration = data.expires - currentTime;

Quick tests so far shows it updates the timer and the damage absorbed. It might help some other shield buffs as well which update without triggering the combat event update but that'll have to be tested still.

tiker A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 129 Uploads: 1	I took a quick look at Shield Tracker and it looks as if it re-scans every time something changes. Shield Bars only modifies what actually changes so it looks to be more efficient. Now, don't take my word on how difficult it will be to update Shield Bars. I'm not the author and am still learning how it works. The author might know a quick fix for it.

Most likely because it is not just refreshing itself, more of a applying new with new shield absorb value.

So far, none of the COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED events fire other than the first time it applies as a new spell which Shield Bars does pick up.

I'll continue playing around with this to find something that works but I won't be done tonight.

sokay. might look at Shield Tracker its been a while since i used it. didnt much care for it but it does soul leech. some how :P

Its still not refreshing. i've tried it with out the school, or tip. tried with tip with various lines. it decreases if i get hit but doesn't increase when i do more damage.

im trying to think of any other shields that increase as you do damage and i cant think of any.. blood shield is closest i can come to it. but its 50% of your self heal amount becomes a physical damage shield

duration's meaning is confusing. since sacrificial pact has a 20 sec dur, the code has it as ten but the bar shows 20 when activated. and if i remove duration from soul leech. it still generates a 15 sec bar.

i even dismissed my pet just incase it was a pet issue since pets get the soul leech buff as well.

i actually even stripped it down to just spell id, name, icon, and the color code and got the bar to appear... with the initial value. and count down.

First, "duration" is lower case, your line shows "Duration".

Second, you're missing the "tip" value which I believe should be "tip = 1".

Here's how I've added it but haven't tested yet.
[108366] = { name = "Soul Leech", duration = 15, priority = 1, school = 34, tip = 1, icon = "warlock_siphonlife", r = 0.77, g = 0.12, b = 0.23 },

A "line = .." value might be needed as well but I will test this evening if I can and will let you know.
Also the "school = 34" I think identifies a set type of magic the shield absorbs. Doesn't Soul Leech absorb all damage and not specific to a spell type? If so, the "school = 34" value should be removed.

Amoriard A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I have been looking for an addon that tracks absorbs for my tanks abilities. Really just to time the absorbs a little better. I seen this one and I wanted to try it. I just tried to install it a couple of times. I can see it in my AddOns folder unzipped, but when I log into the game, I do not see it under the addons list when I click on the addons button in the lower left of the character selection screen. Is there anything different I need to do to get this to work? I play on the US realms. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. This addon is not on curse either. If there are any suggestions that I could try to get this to work, I would like to try this addon out.
