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

yep, and there lies the problem

You can attach Buttons to the PitbullMT frames, but you can NEVER cast a spell to the units you posted.
To be more exact: You can never cast a spell to a target unit like 'PMT01', since this is no valid UnitID.
Blizzard only provides the following unitIDs: See http://www.wowwiki.com/UnitId

This is not a limitation of eXtremeUnitbuttons, it is a limitation of the Blizzard API.

Btw there is a request to Blizzard to implement unitIDs for MainTanks, see here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...2861&sid=1#230

PitBull4_Groups_XXXUnitButton1

Hi Shinx!

I doubt that there is a problem with the frame names.
Because you said that you can see the buttons for 2 seconds.
That proves that everything is working when it comes to attaching the buttons to the frame.

I think the problem lies in the fact that blizzard does not support something like 'MT1' as the target of a spell.
To verify this, I need the following information from you:
What did you write to the LEFT side of ''PitBull4_Groups_MainTankTargetsUnitButton1'' in the custom frames window ?
examples:
targettarget <-- PitBull4_target_target_UnitButton1
focustarget <-- PitBull4_focus_target_UnitButton1

No, you are completely right. Thanks for mentioning it, I will remove it for the next version.

RL prevented me from doing that earlier.

So this project is NOT dead, and I hope to release something 'soon' (tm).

Great news! TY for your continued support!

EDIT: With the change to Power Word: Shield (that it now works on any target), does it still need to be listed/included in file "XUB_isUsableSpell_Exceptions.lua"?

i using x-perl and buttons are under the frames...

In the window "Profile specifications", you can define an offset for each line, like this:

Code:

normal,target,hostile_target,-500,-64

This means:
For the profile 'normal' we attach the group 'hostile_target' on the destination frame 'target', with an x-offset of -500 (=500 pixels towards the left side of the screen), and an Y-Offset of -64 (= 64 pixels towards the top of the screen).
Additional Info: The size of a button is 64x64.

Ah, that was a typo.
GetValue() should be GetText()
It's fixed in b18.
