I'm terribly sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I'm looking for an addon that shows all enemy unitframes within a certain range of me. I'd like to see their buffs/debuffs as well.

It'd look much like gladius...

(this would be in order to maximize uptime of living bomb)

The addon Magic Targets does something like this this. It generates frames that show at least health and raid markers and I think potentially buffs too, but they are non-interactible so you can't target mobs through them. Improving LB uptime is not going to work with it. In fact, it's explicitely impossible to make frames like that interactible.

Here's my pimpin UI

Addons include

Name	Description
Omen	Aggro meter.
Recount	Pew pew meter. Not reset since the last instance to show off it's size. Maybe I'll move the map down and squeeze the aggro/dmg meters in a bit.
DBM	Not visible on the descriptive picture but nothing is new there.
SexyMap	Square map wins.
Shadowed Unit Frames	I recently changed to this one from Stuf, and I love it.
Grid	Raidframes.
Clique	Decursing and CCing.
Bartender	Actionbars.
Buttonfacade	Prettier actionbars.
OmniCC	Keeping track of cooldowns.
Starina Buff Frames	I've customized this quite a lot. There's a big Arcane Blast thing there which didn't cooperate with OmniCC at the time I snapped the picture. I also separated cooldowns and procs from the usual buffs and made an Missile Barrage bar because I like it better that way.
IceHUD	Used exclusively for the range thingy.
X-perl	Tank targets, not available in this pic.
Lunarsphere	It has a handy drop-down function as well as tootip mover.
Chatter	Chat window.

There is room for simplification still, but maybe someone will find interest in it as it is

You've made great use of Satrina Buff Frames, Brytryne. Kudos on that. You might want to clean up your buttons, though. It seems like most of them are intended to display a cooldown timer. You should consider using ForteXorcist or Ellipsis instead.

Anyway, could you explain which mod you used to configure your castbar to display the number of Arcane Blast stacks you have?

Here's a screenshot of how to configure this luatext:

It's been a while since I actually configured this, so let me see if I can remember what to do. The layout I'm editing is the one for my own unitframe, 'self'. You can add a "New text" by typing whatever you want to call it into that text box and hitting enter. Then adjust the settings that you see in the "Edit text" portion, paste in the code, and make it enabled, and it should look like mine (pictured). If it doesn't work exactly right try futzing with it, and let me know if you're stumped. You can definitely have as many texts as you want, you just have to manually make sure they're attached to different areas of the unit frame so they don't overlap.

Also: configuring MF range should be trivial, if I'm back in this thread and on my wow computer I'll type something up. I have boss % health in my target unitframe so glancing at that number and noting whether it is <= 35% is just as easy (to me) as glancing at the number and noting the color.

Thanks, it works perfectly.
There is any solution for LUA testing and developping code ? but not in WoW (pitbull frame is very small for that)

I used DBM for cooldown timers for a bit but as far as my experience went the timers started when I clicked the button and restarted the timer regardless of whether the spell was already on cooldown or not so I removed it. Usually I just glance down to see if the spell is on CD but Ellipsis looks very nice and I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the tip

Also, yes I would prefer to remove most of the spells at least on the bottom bar, but since there is so much vehicle business nowadays I had to unhide everything that I've hotkeyed 1-6, and for esthetical reasons I set them up as they are now. Maybe there is an addon out there that re-hotkeys once I'm in vehicle mode? Bartender can hide/show/swap bars depending your vehicle status as well as other variables but I couldn't get the hotkeys to change between the two modes.

Satrina Buff Frames

The yellow bar above my health is actually the cast bar which i set up in Shadowed Unit Frames. The Arcane Blast counter is an enlarged SBF icon while the Missile Barrage bar is made in the same way except I made it a, well, bar instead. I've tried using either two icons or two bars but I couldn't quite get used to it so this was the best solution for me.
When I'm fire spec the bar shows up when Hot Streak procs and the Arcane Blast icon shows Living Bomb on the current target if I've applied it. Ideally I would just parent Living Bomb to Arcane Blast (which would put LB in the AB frame) but you can't parent target buff frames to player buff frames or vice verca so I had to overlap them.
In 3.3 I'll probably add Brain Freeze\Fingers of Frost or something along those lines.

Here's a screenshot of my SBF setup. The grid is an addon called Align which I use to position things, hope this helps:

I also gotta figure out how to filter out "Spell is not ready yet", the only addons I've found are outdated. Anyone know?

I use PError to get rid of all of those error messages, it does however have the capability to single out specific errors to filter.

Thanks I'll give it a shot

Edit: Read you wrong, it works like a charm.

Here's an edit of the "informational" health text to turn it red when in MF range:

local s = Status(unit)
if s then
  return s
end
local cur, max = HP(unit), MaxHP(unit)
local mf_r,mf_g,mf_b = 255,255,255
if cur/max <= .35 then
mf_r,mf_g,mf_b = 255,0,0
end
return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s/%s || %s%%|r",mf_r,mf_g,mf_b,Short(cur,true),Short(max,true),Percent(cur,max)

My UI is more or less a Kyth ripoff, but I have written a buff text (on the player unitframe, left) complementary to the oh-so-popular debuff luatext (on the target unitframe, right):

My debuff luatext is slightly edited so that it only shows up in combat:

if not UnitIsFriend(unit,'player') and InCombatLockdown() then
local i = 1
local ttw,dam,hit,crit,wisdom,scorch = false,false,false,false,false,false
local tr,tg,tb = 64,64,64
local dr,dg,db = 64,64,64
local hr,hg,hb = 64,64,64
local cr,cg,cb = 64,64,64
local wr,wg,wb = 64,64,64
local sr,sg,sb = 64,64,64
while true do
 local name,_,icon = UnitAura(unit,i,"HARMFUL")
 if not name then
   break
 elseif name == "Thunder Clap" then
   ttw = true
 elseif name == "Infected Wounds" then
   ttw = true
 elseif name == "Frost Fever" then
   ttw = true
 elseif name == "Judgements of the Just" then
   ttw = true

   dam = true

   dam = true

   dam = true

   hit = true
 elseif name == "Faerie Fire" then
   hit = true
 elseif name == "Totem of Wrath" then
   crit = true
 elseif name == "Master Poisoner" then
   crit = true
 elseif name == "Heart of the Crusader" then
   crit = true

   wisdom = true
 elseif name == "Improved Scorch" then
   scorch = true
 elseif name == "Winter's Chill" then
   scorch = true
 elseif name == "Shadow Mastery" then
   scorch = true
 end
 i = i + 1
end
if ttw then
 tr,tg,tb = 00,255,00
end
if dam then
 dr,dg,db = 00,255,00
end
if hit then
 hr,hg,hb = 00,255,00
end
if crit then
 cr,cg,cb = 00,255,00
end
if wisdom then
 wr,wg,wb = 00,255,00
end
if scorch then
 sr,sg,sb = 00,255,00
end
return "|cff%02x%02x%02xTtW|r |cff%02x%02x%02xSP|r |cff%02x%02x%02xSH|r |cff%02x%02x%02x3%%|r |cff%02x%02x%02x5%%|r |cff%02x%02x%02xWis |r",tr,tg,tb,dr,dg,db,hr,hg,hb,cr,cg,cb,sr,sg,sb,wr,wg,wb
end

Left to right, the buff luatext shows: 3% all damage, +spellpower (totem/dp), 3% all haste, 5% spell haste, 5% crit, Fire resistance, Frost Resistance, Nature Resistance, Concentration aura. Some of the "tricky" buffs like 3% damage and 3% all haste require a little inference. 3% all damage will not be shown correctly if you are under an encounter-specific all-damage buff/debuff. 3% haste isn't totally accurate either (it would be possible by using current haste rating, existence of IV/PI/lust, existence of NW presence talent, and current spell casting speed, but it's not worth the trouble IMO), so as of 3.3 there's a chance that you will show as not having the buff even though you do. This will only happen when you don't have a moonkin and have Arcane Empowerment - you'll just have to make sure you're within aura range of your ret paladin. The spell damage text will be dark green for flametongue and bright green for ToW or Demonic Pact, everything else is basically on or off.

Hi!

I wondered if there is any way to filter specific debuffs in Aura for Pitbull (e.g. Arcane Blast):

If debuff filtering for the player is enabled I have to basically add each single debuff i want to track in the global aura settings.
If debuff filtering for the player is disabled I see all debuffs including Arcane Blast and I find no way to disable/filter this single debuff.

Does anyone know if there is an addon to use LuaText without PitBull ? I already have Aguf installed and i don't know if mixing the two would be a good idea.

Bigperm · 11/05/09, 8:34 PM

I posted a montage of Arcane Blast stacks displayed via Power Aura's and I have had a couple people come to me about how I did it; figured might as well just post it here just in case people are shy.

Morbas · 11/06/09, 6:38 AM

I have a small problem concerning NeedToKnow (and maybe TellmeWhen).

Have been using Scorchio untill recently, was fairly pleased with it but eventually it didnt quite do it for me..
So I've been working on my UI and cleaning up some addons aswell as adding new ones.

I find NeedToKnow very easy to use, but when I try to have it display the timer on my MI when they're up, but it doesn't seem to trigger the way I tried..

Same goes for TTW, nothing happening for me..

I could tell you how I set it up but since it's not working that doesn't add much..

Could someone tell me what to configure to get these two to show up in the bars? or does 1 or the other apply to TellmeWhen instead? Or if you have advice on what addon better to use, I'll take it =)

I think the answer is quite simple, and if I would have more time at hand I would figure it out myself, but the time I have to play WoW is pretty limited (you know.. the misses) and why build a new road while the old ones are just fine!

Thanks in advance

Here's a screenie from my UI (put together quite fast, I know there's a lot of room for improvement)

Notable addons:

Sexy maps - obviously =)
Sunnart + packages - background
Bartender4
Pitbull4
Button Facade - custom buttons
Dmg meter (dude you still use thát??)
Prat 3.0 - chatbox configuration
