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

This problem will go away when I finish the Button Maker mechanism.

I manually commented all the lines that disable my buttons (I don't like mods disabling/enabling buttons because it reduces my healing per second). however it appears that range check is now broken. the buttons don't fade out. this was not the case with the previous version which I edited in the same way.

mybuf,timeblink,mybuf,,270

where the last number is the number of seconds to start blinking the icon (4 1/2 minutes = 270 seconds which is a typical paladin buff)

Yeah, I also figured the priority wouldn't be high... Although I would think any Druid would be happy to see a way to change this... I just hate not being able to know when someone needs healing while I'm fighting, without watching all the HP bars... In Cat or Bear... And without feedback from the buttons, I guess I can just add a new Trinity bar...

But not being a programmer, I didn't know if there might be an easy fix... I love this mod, but I'm losing too much of it's functionality...

Keep in mind, none of the buttons change while I'm fighting... No 'out of range', or 'needs rebuffing', or 'needs healing', or 'is poisoned'... Not even on myself... Just dead buttons...

And therefore he is usually in cat form... He even stays in cat form between fights unless he needs to rebuff (like Thorns) or he needs some healing... My problem is that all of the buttons stay dark while he's in cat form... I'm sure this is because he cannot cast any of the spells/buffs/debuffs while in cat form... But then means features like buffblink aren't working until be goes back to caster form... Any ideas or workaround that you can think of? I'd like the buttons to flash in cat form even if that means I have to shape shift back to use the spells...

Re: Re: Macro with multiple instructions

unfortunately most of the ways result in me being disconnected from the server ... which makes it hard to test.

Just call this fonction "SelfDestruct()"

To be serious, thanks for working on this feature

Something like:

Code:

As a healer I use ExtremeUnitButtons to have a heal bar under the Focus frame and I often forget to use my trinket before healing, that's why I would use such a multiple lines macro.

The setup can be daunting. Follow the Quick start guide to get a feel for what you need to do. In the Unit Frames dialog select Blizzard for the unit frames you use. You will need to add profile entries for raid, somthing like

normal,raid,heal
normal,raid,buff
