You can have the bar with the abilities fade out. It's the "Fade Out" option on this menu. Just change the Alpha slider all the way down to 0, and the bar will completely hide until mouseover.

My UI

I'm looking for a way to put somewhere in the middle the time left remaining on my Judgement on my Focus' target (mostly for raid bosses). I tried doing this through Xperl but I couldn't seem to find adequate settings using the 'big buff' options on my Focus Target (this is situated middle-bottom of my UI).

If anyone could help me with this slight issue, I would be very grateful.

The custom conditionals are fairly simple to code. If you don't know how to start you can just 'Copy Conditionals' and you'll have something to start with. After that it's just a matter of picking the right conditionals - just like when you write macros (Macro guide).

Anyway, I believe you're looking for something like this:

[mod] show; hide

Although if you use modifiers for you common used spells this will make the bar flicker a lot. Perhaps using just ALT as modifier works for you:

[mod:alt] show; hide

Have you tried "ClassTimer"?

Pit Bull:

I have created raid frames with this addon, when I do raids a couple of players have a name like "Darkdeathnight", this is an huge name and this is bigger of frame. There is any configuration to set names to not show more than "X" letters per name? Thanks.

Sorry for ugly english.

Look at the old DogTags3.0 thread. There's ways to either truncate names, or abbreviate them. I do believe it's near the start of the thread, so likely no need to wade through all of it.

I'm looking for a script to run in a macro to open the bigwigs range check if it doesn't open and/or want to use it on another fight.

Hi guys,

I am looking for a bar addon which monitor specific buff or debuff as doesNeedtoKnow, but based on spell ID and not the buff names.

I want to be able to see Sacred shield buff (53601) from Sacred shield proc(58597).

Does any paladins found something to monitor Sacred buff proc?

Thanks in advance

Rheinfire · 04/02/09, 11:28 AM

Hi,

for my deathknight frost tank i´m searching scales for the compare addon PAWN. For sure you know it. I´ve searched the whole web but i found nothing suitible.

I trust in your abilities to solve this problem. Your site is great!

Thx, cu later.

Does anyone know of a simple mod that would just display my current spell dmg number on my screen during combat, without opening up my character sheet. I saw something similar a long time ago that displayed AP for melee classes but I cant find it now.

Basically, I'd like to be able to quickly glance down to monitor my current +dmg, or even better for the mod to calculate the value that Demonic Pact is giving.

SLDT is what you are looking for. There are also other add-ons that perform the same function.

I'm trying to set Power Auras to display a graphic when neither Horn of Winter or Strength of Earth VIII are present. I can get it to do either or, but cannot get it on the same graphic. Is this possible to do?

You could always just make the image for both identical, and put them on the same exact spot.

My own question:

I've recently swapped to Bison : WoWInterface Downloads : Buff/Debuff/Spell Mods for my buff display, and like it well enough, but it seems to have developed the wierdest and most annoying bug in the 48 hours since I first installed it. Namely, in the weapon buff frame, it thinks my OH is my MH and vice versa. I.E. it displays my MH weapon to the right and the OH to the left. I've found setting the 'horizontal space' to negative to be a quick fix, and things at least look right, but the MH weapon is still in the frame labelled OH in the config. Any idea what could've caused that?

Have a look at sFilter2.
It is the bar version of sFilter.

You do not have to afraid to modify the lua. There is no ingame configuration, but you can track about everything you want, as long as you have a spellID.
The configuration in the lua is pretty easy and well documented in the file itself.

phasedweasel · 04/06/09, 2:18 PM

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, 8:28 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, 8:50 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.

Cigaras · 04/07/09, 10:24 AM

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

tkz012 · 04/07/09, 1:55 PM

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

Astrasia · 04/07/09, 4:16 PM

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.

cazpar · 04/08/09, 10:39 AM

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).
