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

I'm not sure I understand you.
Have you tried to keep the mouse over the button and click wihtout leaving the button? Because here it works.

Hm, that could be difficult because many items do not need to be equipped to be used (think of food and water).
Nevertheless I was thinking that a trinked that is not equipped would be reported as unusable, I will have to test this.

taye

To elaborate, if I have a button that is on cooldown, so that it is red, and maybe even showing a cooldown timer numeric value, if I mouse over the button, but not press the button, so that the mouse is just hovering over the button, the cooldown color and the numeric value of the cooldown time left disappears, and shows the button as if it is ready to be clicked, even though it is not.

EDIT: To elaborate some more, what I would like to see is that even when I mouseover the button, it should maintain its cooldown status color/disable and its cooldown timer value.

This one is really bugging the heck out of me, and I'm hoping the above explanation would be descriptive enough so that you can look into this. Please, this one is killing me in PvP. Thanks.

What I found out is that a trinket in your inventory is always usable (IsUsableItem always returns 1,nil).
First I was thinking this is because you can equipp and use the trinket - but according to "IsUsableItem" it is also usable during combat, when not equipped.
Since you can not switch trinkets while in combat this makes no sense.
I will have to check wether this is a Blizzard bug or just some strange behaviour.

Fair enough, thanks for looking into this.

What I was thinking is if, the api is bonkers, if you can add a switch to the 'use' option to say it can be used if equipted, and w/o the switch, to say, can be used if in inventory but not equipted (or make this the default).

Anyway, I'll wait to hear back from you on this. Thanks again for your hard work, it is appreciated.

For #2, you already check if a 'use' item in the backback exists or not, but it would be great if we could also specify 'equipted', not just 'exists'.

The way it works now, I have to push a button, then move the mouse over it, to observe its cooldown cycle, then move the mouse back over the button to press. For PvP, its really good to be able to have the mouse cursor over the button during the cooldown, and then be able to click right away.

hi !

I don't think the lag is related to the "*", I expect the same lag when using "party".
Nevertheless I wrote a fix to this bug, will be in 1.8 beta3 (beta 2 is just beta1 woth the bugfix from Abraxis)

No, it's just 1.7 with the fix from Abraxis.

Necrotopia A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Target Buttons Still playing around with the addon, but I haven't found this option: Is it possible to display the duration of the spells that were cast? (either as a number or the standard icon clock face.) Having the button fade or disappear when the dot is already applied (assuming it can differentiate beween my dot and another locks) is wonderful, but also being able to see a countdown of when it will expire would be awesome. Even if the countdown was a fixed button parameter. Either way, love it so far! I may even switch back to affliction!
