Daenerys

I can't wait to try this out tonight. I asked on the WoW forums back in the AQ/Naxx days for an addon that tracked debuffs and never found one that satisfied...this sounds like just the thing I've been looking for for the past year or so!

 

Daenerys

Can you re-explain this for someone who has no clue what you are talking about? I can't get mine to work and all of the trouble-shooting I see on this thread are in Greek as far as I can tell. =P

Edit - I'm getting nothing...I DLed the most recent version (I think, I used the link from the 2nd? page from the author) and I got nothing. Met all the other criteria and I got nothing on my screen..

I'm not an expert, but I know what my problems were. You need to know exactly what error you're getting since I got a few different errors during fixing it, and some other people had to fix the problem another way. I'm not trying to say the mod is really buggy btw, since I do love it now that it's working. Pinpointing the problem by using BugGrabber or Swatter to log your LUA errors is a good idea, I don't know if there's a standard Blizzard alternative.

The two general problems that we encountered were the following:

Problem: The mod was referencing a library that it couldn't find.
Cause: You have another Ace2 mod that is loading it's own libraries before this mod.
Solution: Download the Ace2 base and place it in your addons folder. Delete the "Libs" folder from pDebufflist. When you load the game again, you shouldn't have any errors. If you get another error saying you have a missing library, then you can copy that missing library folder from Libs folder that should be in your recycle bin and add it to the Libs folder under the Ace2 folder.

Problem: Recieving an error in reference to Thunderfury/TF.
Cause: Unsure
Solution: We removed all instances of Thunderfury and TF from the core.lua and we don't get the error anymore. You might not even need to do this.

Hope this helps, and someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about something. I'm no expert.

Edit: I also guess I should mention something that was also said earlier in the thread. The mod won't appear unless you're in a raid and have something targetted or focused. The window will even disappear during a raid when you don't have a target or focus.

Nailed it, I decided to finally track down the bug which was actually a library loading in the wrong order. This should definately work now 101%.. I've tested this with only this addon enabled and it works great.
I have never heard of this before and I would really love to see the bugs rather than manually fixed as I would like to fix them myself just incase someone downloads the addon and can never be bothered to try it again.

 

Daenerys

Excellent...working like a charm now! Nice work on this mod, Tallage!

 

Daenerys

Has there been any discussion of adding Judgement of Light/Wisdom to the list? I'd love to be able to easily track those.

 

Vykromond

I really love how compact and functional this mod is. That said, I'd like to chime in for possible support for JoL/JoW. Mangle would also be nice but I know there's some objection along the lines of it being "class-specific" (which I don't wholly agree with, since Rogues use the Mangle buff as well). Togglable maybe?

 

nfw

What about expose armor? Is that too narrow for this mod?

 

Tallage

I'll add EA to be a backup to SA.

As for the JoW etc, I thinking strongly of making a '2' version of this addon already to enable you to input your own debuffs. The reason for another version is that it will be quite a bit bigger to add this functionality and I'm sure there are a lot of people happy with it as it is. For those who do want to add their own, they can use a new one

I've just been using Debuff Filter for all the class-specific debuffs like Scorpid Sting, JoW/JoL and so on. Now that we have this mod to track the standard debuffs, I've removed them from my Debuff Filter list, so there are less icons to scan through. Would definitely be nice to be able to configure this mod a bit more, but like you said, I love the fact it's so compact and easy to use.

Going along the lines of a version 2 with more class-specific customizability, would it be possible to expand it to include buff tracking on friendly targets?

For example as a tank, set yourself as /focus to monitor shouts, hots, auras, blood pact, ironshield, etc. I've tried every buff tracking mod I could find and haven't been satisfied with any yet. Personally this mod's compact "light up if active" model is exactly what I'm looking for in a (self) buff tracker.

I realize this might be too specific to my own personal needs. For example if I were a fury warrior, this probably wouldn't appeal to me at all because I'd want the rampage indicator to give me an actual countdown timer rather than a reminder after it wears off. Basically I'm not sure how useful other people/classes would find this functionality, but I'm just throwing it out there as something I'd personally love to see added.

I think it'd be better as a separate mod but, yes, that's actually *exactly* the personal buff display style that woulld be most useful to me (no need to set yourself as a focus for it, the buffs can be read just fine off your character.)

Ideally with the ability to type in a special buff name + abbreviation (e.g. as a lock I'd love to verify that I always have my pet sac'd, or that I'm in range of totems.)

It'd be like power auras but far less annoying.

 

Thebigcheeze

I would love this as a tank. I'm constantly staring at my buff bar during fights that are traditionally hard (tidewalker =( ) to make sure that I keep the myriad of buffs up (totems, chal.shout, blood pact, etc.). I absolutely LOVE pDebuffList's display method. It's absolutely perfect. If you could develop v.2 with possibly other target tracking (can you, for example, have it track 3 different people? like maintanks?) I would love you forever. if not, that's okay, thanks for the great mod you've already developed.

 

Deadhornn

I used this for the first time on Morogrim last night. I jes love it, it's nice on trash too because I was able to call the locks out for slacking curses on trash mobs...the display is just so simple and elegant. Love it.

However, one of our warriors is using ChronoBuffs or something (sorry don't remember the name exactly) and swears that the mod is fucked up because I noted Dshout dropping a couple of times and he claims Dshout never dropped according to his mod and that it must be getting affected by the visible display. I said "that's not how it works" but honestly I don't know how it does work -- is this possible or should I just assume dshout really did drop and his mod was wrong.

 

Tallage

His addon is wrong, my addon checks for the debuffs every 0.2 seconds (this is event driven and throttled). The addon he uses is probably out of date and if it is Chronometer, I don't think that is completely updated with the latest API.

Basically he casts Demo shout, a timer starts for 30 seconds and does not stop if the debuff is pushed off by other debuffs (when the 40 debuff limit is reached, debuffs will push other debuffs off for their spot). This means although his timer bar is still running the debuff is not active.

 

◊ Praetorian

I'd absolutely love something like this if you do find the time/desire to put it together. The basic mod is perfect but the ability to customize further would be amazing.

 

Thelyna

Two things to display I didn't find mentioned here - Scorpid Sting, and total number of debuff spots used (so say it'd show anything up to 30 debuffs used in green, 30-35 debuffs used as orange, and 35-40 debuffs used as red). Just a couple things to keep in mind for pDebuffList 2.

DeeNogger: "No dot timer? Get your belt off, its spanking time."

 

pooclops

Oh man this would be awsome, I try to configure my debuffs to basicly get to 36-38 debuffs in 1 row (long unit frames, tiny debuffs bleeding eyeballs) and I can gauge from there about how many are up but it's not always easy to do.

 

Mooz

Doinking around in AV this morning, I added a count of the total number of debuffs to this wonderful addon.

The count shows up at the bottom of the other debuffs and colors itself according to number of debuffs applied (25 or less is green, 26-30 are yellow, 31-35 are orange, and greater than 35 are red).

http://www.ironyguild.com/addons/pDe...buff_count.zip

In the zip there's both the original .lua file (core.lua.bak) and a diff of the old and new versions (core.lua.diff -- Unsurprisingly, there aren't many changes!)

Thanks for the great addon, Tallage!

 

Valjean

I tried this modified version and I liked it a lot. It was great because now I could tell people to stop putting up certain debuffs whenever it got close to hitting 40.

Thank you, Mooz.

 

Tallage

Hey,

That's fantastic; thanks for adding that!

I am still planning on making a version 2 of this addon, I haven't had the time recently and I still want to make this addon as light as possible as well as adding the features needed to make it a true successor to the original.

Expect a beta soon-ish!

 

• Praanz

I would definatelly put my vote pro implementing JoL and JoW into the list due to their raid-wide significance.

Other than that, 'What they said' - fantastic mod ofcourse

 

dinesh

My strong preference would be to add some interface to allow you to turn on and off various items to check for. I personally wouldn't mind having to muck in the LUA to add new ones, though of course an interface to do so it better, especially as new revs roll out.

a more futuristic version would also implement a "boss detector" not unlike what DBM does, for example, so that the grid only comes up on those boss fights. then have the mod save a "profile" for each boss, remember which items to check for for which bosses. maybe that's a phase 3 request, though.
