Buffoon

Version: v1.4

by: Jzar [More]

Buffoon is a buff mod that's inspired by one feature from X-Perl: it shows you who cast what buffs on you, and who's missing it still. Since I recently switched from X-Perl to Shadowed UF, I quickly started missing this feature, so I wrote my own implementation of it. Enjoy!

Commands:
/buffoon {toggle | on | off} -- Turns the addon on and off entirely.
/buffoon {solo | party | raid} -- Solo shows info all the time, party shows only in party or raid, raid shows only in raid.
/buffoon {caster | buffed | unbuffed} -- These options are NOT mutually exclusive. They make the addon show the caster, and/or the players that DO or DO NOT also have the buff.
/buffoon groups -- Toggles between show in groups, and show all together modes when in raid.
/buffoon extras -- Toggles showing extra raiders, defaults to off. With this off, raid members in a 10 man raid and in any subgroup > 2 will not display in the tooltip, same with anyone in a subgroup > 5 in a 25 man raid.
/buffoon status -- Shows current setting states

(If you're curious, my buff mod from that screenshot is Simple Buff Bars, and my tooltip is TipTac)

v1.4
- Added filter for raiders in subgroups outside your current raid difficulty. /buffoon extras to toggle it.
- Also ... decided that Lua != C++, and it looks better without all those extraneous semi-colons. :S

v1.3
- Made Buffoon work on enemies now too! Also has a new slash command to toggle showing the caster

v1.2
- Cleaning up database initialization

v1.1
- (I don't remember. :S)

v1.0
- Initial Release

What's more, Tekkub's Buffoon does the exact same thing...shows you who cast what, albeit through a LibDataBroker display rather than tooltips. http://tekkub.net/ http://github.com/tekkub/Buffoon Why it isn't on his page here on WoWInterface, I have no idea.

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 158 File comments: 281 Uploads: 5	Sigh. I suppose I should've just made a forum post asking people what addons already did this, instead of setting out blithely to make one myself. Oh well, at least I learned several new things about Lua in the process. I'll just leave this here under the current name, unless Tek wants to post that addon here on WoWI. I can't go around checking everybody's private repositories when picking an addon's name... If anyone likes my particular flavor of this functionality, you're welcome to use my addon. lol

You're right you can't go around checking everyone's repository, but Tekkub's isn't private, its public, and a simple "buffoon addon wow" search in Google would have lead you to that. Frustrating I know, but no reason to give up. Some people might prefer yours to anyone else's; I used to use icwatudidthere, but it doesn't tell you who still needs the buff (although I now use something else for that too). So don't fret and good job on learning stuff about lua in the process!

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 158 File comments: 281 Uploads: 5	When I said "private", I didn't mean it in the sense that I couldn't access Tek's addon if I'd wanted to. I was kind of just calling the normal addon stops (Curse, WoWI, IncGamers) the public, general, and fairly inclusive places to list an addon, and saying that some individual authors have other arbitrary places that they host. I guess I was getting defensive and feeling like I shouldn't have to go to such lengths to verify the non-existence of a mod, though I concede that having tried a google search, that really was quite simple. Thanks for the encouragement from those of you pointing out that my effort isn't a complete waste. I also appreciate that nobody here has been derogitory about my efforts as compared with established authors, or been mean in telling me that a name was already in use. You guys warm my heart, and are the reason I love being part of this community. (So, I guess that means the great name hunt is still on, if anyone has any other great ideas.) (This way, I can blame someone else if the next name is already taken too... )
