Demon - Debuff Monitor (pDebuffList2)

Tallage · 09/25/07, 5:42 PM

Okay it's finally here

After installing Demon you will notice a few changes from the original pDebuffList, mainly it's new FuBar icon.

You can now add/remove and show/hide the count on the fly, giving much more control over different raid situations, especially when things like Curse of Tongues is needed for instance. The adding function will do a check to make sure the debuff you enter is actually an ingame spell (mostly implemented for typo catching).

There is also a semi-smart name shortening, typically 4 letters long or abbreviated, for example:
- Curse of the Elements = CoE
- Corruption = Corr

I have also added the ability to change the look (color/alpha) of the frame and border so it is better suited to personal taste. I think it looks better when changing the alpha so there is no border personally! (Please note that this is more of a novelty and I doubt I will expand on it

)

Known Issues:

- Limited, hardcoded buff grouping. I'm still thinking how to do this well (if someone makes a patch I would be happy to implement it).
- Adding multiple debuffs with the same name causes an error when you try to remove it (just don't

)
- Some debuffs beginning with 'M' seem to display weird on the list, I fixed Mangle, though.

Other:

- It's filesize has obviously increased due to FuBar plugins needed.
- It now starts with a D rather than a P, so although the core is only 15KB, it could get associated with other Ace2 addons you use if Demon is the first addon that uses the Ace2 framework in alphabetical order.

I am at work, and as such can't install and test myself. Is there a feature that displays the number of stacks a certain debuff has? For example, as soon as the first Sunder Armor is applied, the old version would light up green. It would be helpful to have it only light up on 5 stacks, or have a numerical indicator.

I think that's what he meant by "You can now add/remove and show/hide the count on the fly."

May I ask what would be the purpose of having multiple copies of the same debuff? I'm assuming here that you mean 100% of the name, ie, the "Curse of" in Curse of Elements won't conflict with the "Curse of" in "Curse of Shadows."

EDIT: [Mandatory "omg thx 4 writing thiss!" Praise] Being able to change the contents of the list is definitely going to entice me to use this more. It really stunk raiding in Kara, and having only one warlock, but two debuffs on the list.

Nevermind. The server crashed and when it came back up there were no more errors. I swear I didn't update anything.

That's the total debuff count, not the count for an individual debuff.

No, that won't conflict. There is no reason to have multiple copies of the same debuff at all, which is why I haven't put any effort into that "bug".

I completely forgot about looking at stacked debuffs, I'm not really sure how to display it. If anything you would have just numbers replacing the red debuff on the list and even when the debuff reached the max of it's stack size (such as sunder armor) you aren't really able to find that out and display it as green.

I'll look into that

Or you could make it show up as "SA - 3" for 3 stacks and so on.

I could, I still need to think about frame width for that however.

Limited testing but its showing DS when CoW is on, instead of CoW in the DS slot at the top.

Could it be possible to put custom buffs in a position you want (I'd prefer to have mangle at the top instead of bottom)? Would be a nice feature

TIA

Of course, delete them all and create your own list from scratch

Id like an option to use this when grouped in a group, not just a raid, and even when solo.

Is there a slash command or something for this? Because there's no option for it on fubar

And the obvious of /demon does nothing.

Requesting a screenshot please

I have Demon on my FuBar. Might want to look for it. I didn't download any external 'DemonFu' or anything like that. It was just pre-packaged.
