Good afternoon. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to decrease the transparency of the Power Aura auras, and how to move them to a higher strata? Even when any given aura is set to 100% opacity it still seems to combine additively with the screen behind it and can get washed out very easily in a raid setting. I want it to be completely opaque and obvious at all times, and I'm willing to mess around in the LUA. However, I'm not very familiar with the guts of addons or the LUA syntax - are any experienced coders willing to offer help? Thanks!

Thanks, I failed.

A english documented support would be gladly appreciated as my german dates back to a long time ago.

Anyways I tried to add this in the .lua :

{ spellId = 58597, barWidth = 201.5, barIcon = 2, barSpellname = 1, size = 18, scale = 1, unitId = "player", isMine = 1, filter = "HELPFUL", alpha = { 1, 0 }, setPoint = { "TOP",150, -200 } },

Which seems to be working when I did not put the sacred shield buff (it seems to be waiting for the sacred shield proc) in configuration's mode.
But as soons as I used the sacred shield buff. A new bar replace this one with the sacred shield buff timers.
It seems to me that this addon track the spell from the name althougth I only input the spellid from the sacred shield proc.

Without the buff, seems to be waiting for the proc.

With the buff

Thanks for the help in advance

I did a fast translation of the commentary from sFilter2. It should be correct, but it's still early in the morning so I might have messed it up a bit.

Translations is good, just for unitID, this determines where the addon looks for the buff/debuff. player/enemy and so on.

To the problem with sacred shield.
I may not understand correctly what you are trying to track. The duration of the cast itself? Or the duration of the effect? I guess the latter.
Mmmh very strange. The ID you use is correct, it should track the 6 sec proc. Question: Does the 6sec buff apear on your buff frame?

Jujusticier · 04/07/09, 7:28 AM

My main goal is to track both.

But as it was not working, I just keep the line for the 6 sec proc effect (spellID : 58597).
And I removed the line of sacred buff cast 30sec.

To answer your latest question :
I launched sfilter2 with configuration mode on.
One line appeared in grey with the sacred shield 6sec proc icon (screenshot 1).

Then I buffed myself with sacred shiel 30sec cast, and the previous bar changed to track this spell.
The spell icon changed to the sacred shield 30 sec buff.

Then I entered in combat, the sacred shield 6sec effect appeared in my buff frame but it was not tracked with sFilter2.
The only one sfilter2 bar kept tracking the sacred shield 30sec buff (screenshot 2).

Despite the spellID, it seems that sFilter is only tracking the sacred shield 30 sec buff.
I hope my explanations are clears.

Marieth · 04/07/09, 7:50 AM

That is very odd. I have a similar spell on my rogue. Tricks of Trade.
I track that on myself, when I first cast it sFilter shows the duration of the buff (which lasts 30sec). As soon as I hit something the proc activates and sFilter now tracks the proc, which is 6sec long.
I used the spellId of the 6sec proc in my sFilter settings.
Try to disable the configuration mode. Maybe that prevents the bar from changing when the proc activates.
Otherwise I have no idea what is causing your problem, sorry.

Searching and googling was not successful for me so I will try to ask in here:

I am using Dominos action bars addon and was wondering, is it possible to do that when I hold down a modification key like Shift or Ctrl bars switch, like when nothing is pressed bar1 is visible, when I press down Shift key, bar2 is visible instead, when I release Shift bar1 is back on top. At the moment I am using macros for that but it is very confusing to set up and amount of macros available per character is limited.

Update: found the answer

I am curious how you make the ouF_Lyn raid frames filter by class aswell as go down instead of 5 columns (much like perfect raid). When I change 'groupfilter' to 'class filter' , i get a big line of repeating names like this:

local Raid = {}
for i = 1, NUM_RAID_GROUPS do
	local RaidGroup = oUF:Spawn("header", "oUF_Raid" .. i)
	RaidGroup:SetAttribute("groupFilter", tostring(i))
	RaidGroup:SetAttribute("showRaid", true)
	RaidGroup:SetAttribute("yOffset", -10)
	RaidGroup:SetAttribute("point", "TOP")
	RaidGroup:SetAttribute("showRaid", true)
	table.insert(Raid, RaidGroup)
	if i == 1 then
		RaidGroup:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, 150, -40) 
	else
		RaidGroup:SetPoint("TOP", Raid[i-1], "BOTTOM", 0, -10)	
	end
	RaidGroup:Show()
end

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get Elkano's Buff Bars to show milliseconds.
For example, 3.2s. It currently shows that as 4s and that doesn't have enough precision
for my taste.

I'm having a slight problem with the RuneWatch addon.
RuneWatch (WotLK) - Addons - Curse

As you can see from the screenshot, it displays my 3 diseases and a disease counter. I'm trying to make my UI as symmetrical as possible and the location of the 3rd disease (leftmost) is like an assault on my finicky brain..

How complicated would it be to modify the mod so that the diseases would appear like this, with no disease counter? The disease marker in the middel has to be the last one to appear (because it's only there in Unholy spec).

Is there any way to have a different font for the chat editbox and button counts (that is, the item count on an actionbar button for a consumable)? They're both using ARIALN.ttf, but I'd like to have a square font for the counts, and a nice rounded font for the editbox. Prat doesn't allow changing the editbox font, nor does ButtonFacade or Dominos allow changing the button font.

Try looking at Fontain: Fontain - Addons - Curse

I've just updated from eepanels to eepanels2, and I updated all of my addons using WowMatrix including Ace2. For some reason whenever I click on my pet, an npc i get this error message

interface\addons\ace2\aceevent-2.0\aceevent-2.0.lua:303: [string "eepanel5:hide()..."]:5: attempt to call global 'DL_unitname' (a nil value)

If i click on the ground, then click on the ground again I get the same error. I've looked and I dont have a 5th panel enabled for eepanels

any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to have PowerAuras to show an Unholy Blight icon when:

I don't have the buff on me AND I have sufficient runic power to cast it.

With the activation by: buff/action usable I can do the one or the other, but not both conditions. Making 2 auras and stack them on top of eachother doesn't work either because the conditions aren't mutually exclusive.

Anyone got any ideas? I tried TellMeWhen but it basically has the same problem.

Is there anything that accomplishes what ratingbuster does but uses less memory?
