Kreiri's Buff Bars  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.06
by: Kreiri [More]
Customizable bars for tracking buffs and debuffs. Inspired by Satrina Buff Frames.

Features:
- create bar groups to monitor buffs or debuffs on selected unit
- filter buffs by name, duration and caster (you vs. everyone else)
- customize buff/debuff/font colors, font size, background alpha, size and positions of bar groups.

Type /kbb ui to toggle settings interface.


Filter format:
  • filter by caster:
    • my - only casted by you
    • !my - only casted by others
  • filter by name: n<operator><value>, where <value> is name or part of the name of the buff and <operator> is
    • = - for "equals"
    • ~= - for "includes"
      Filtering by name is case-insensitive.
  • filter by duration: t<operator><value>, where <value> is duration in seconds and <operator> is
    • > - for "greater than"
    • < - for "less than"
    • >= - for "equal or greater than"
    • <= - for "equal or less than"
    Use t==nil and t!=nil to filter buffs with infinite duration

You can make combinations of filters using & (logical and) operator.

Examples:
n~=motif - matches all buffs with "motif" in name
my&n~=motif - matches all buffs with "motif" in name, which were casted by you.

Watching type:
buff to watch buffs,
debuff to watch debuffs.

Filtering type:
whitelist means that only buffs which match at least one of the filters will be displayed;
blacklist means that all buffs will be displayed, except those which match at least one filter.

--------------------------
On performance:
KBB has two throttle values, one for how often bars are redrawn and timers updated, and other for how often KBB asks server for exact remaining time of tracked buffs. If you have performance issues, try playing with KBB.throttle (how often bars are updated) and KBB.callsThrottle (how often KBB asks server for buff info) values in KBB_Defaults.lua file. If you had performance issues, and changing these values helped, please tell me what values you used.


--------------------------
On old slash commands:
they are still there! The list of slash commands is here.
--------------------------

Bug reports and suggestions are welcome. Please be sure to include in your bug report as much details as possible, including error message text, group settings (unit, filtering type, filters, watching type) and what you were doing when the bug occurred.

Post your bug reports here and suggestions here.

GUI!

added duplicate buff IDs check to Buff.Add handler to compensate for extra Buff.Add events after teleporting
added "/kbb r" command (drop all bars and rescan buffs)
added "/kbb editfilter" command
added "/kbb profiles", "/kbb import" commands

1.07

On PTS there are some breaking changes in addon system. As I mentioned earlier, I don't have time for KBB at the moment, at least till June 11. If new API arrives on live servers before that, expect KBB to be broken for a short while.

I apologise for the late reply. I'm working on rather intense project at my job, and, well, most of the time I'm too tired even to play Rift.

I was asked this question earlier, and my answer is still the same: I planned to include box display option at first, but I couldn't figure how to toggle between two display modes without turning my code into unreadable mess. I'll probably get to it when I get enough time to think it through.

Ah, that.

UI and export of profiles didn't exist yet when import command has been added, so it was wired to only accept char@server profile names. And with 100500 settings to make UI for, I... forgot about this limitation. Sorry Will remove it in next release.

Meanwhile, you can hit Escape key to make that texfield lose focus.

Profile import issue: I can't reproduce it. KBB successfully imports any selected profile.
I mean through the actual command line use, not through the UI.

I want to use this for different setups between Specs, so I can macro it into switching specs.

the profile import command does not appear to be working, just tells me the profile does not exist.

I saw that but maybe profile was the wrong word. But I meant to be able to have different settings depending on which role I am currently. Because I have my roles set in macros and some of the other addons I use, I have configured differently depending on which role i am using.

Target of target: I can add target of target, but you would have to make a separate bar group for it, as one bar group can only watch one unit.

Profiles: there is profile support in KBB. Check second tab of settings UI. By default every character has a profile; you can export and import existing profiles.

Spec support: there is Inspect.TEMPORARY.Role function in API, but it's temporary, is going to be removed when full soul tree API is added, I can't predict how much the full API version will differ, and I really don't want to use temporary API.

Thanks for the addon it's helped me out alot. I didn't check and see, but I wanted to ask if you were still developing the addon, and if so if there could be a profiles option setup so that we could have different things watched for different specs. Like I wanted Life Leech watched when i'm in spec 1 but not watched while i'm in spec 2.

Any chance you can add in support for target of target.

So if I'm targeting someone in my raid anf DPSing their Target I can still see bars for their target.
