Ok Iam not really sure if its ButtonFacades fault or Buffalos fault but its either of them :P

The stack number of my buffs is misplaced! This occurs since ButtonFacade got introduced in Buffalo I think as I didnt have this before:



Normally the stack number is in the lower right.

Disabling Buffalo = correct place
Disabling ButtonFacade and having Buffalo enabled = correct place

Iam not sure if it is the implementation of ButtonFacade support thats messed up or if its ButtonFacade but it has to do with one of them... I tried searching but I couldnt find anything in Buffalo (but iam a noob)

I'd really like the timers to be white instead of yellowish ... there supposedly is/was a function built in for that (whiteTimers) ... but I can't figure it out. Could anyone who actually gets lua add that? :)

It doesnt matter what Skin I use, its always misplaced :-(
Even without a skin (I didnt realize Buffalo even had ButtonFacade Support until yesterday) the numbers were misplaced.

Hello, done anyone know if this addon will be updated for wotlk or does anyone know a addon like it i can use?

Hi, all.

I'm no addon programming expert by any means. I've been working on getting my UI updated for the beta (since I'm on there and all.) I'd been looking for a buff mod to replace Buffalo, but alas there is nothing out there for wrath.

However, I spent much of last night and today poking around in the Buffalo code and comparing to changes in working buff mods like SimpleBuffBars, and after lots of stumbling, I now have a working version of Buffalo. I had to update all of the code that gets buff information from the client and I had to embed updated Ace2 libraries, but it's working.

The only bug I still can't get rid of is that the ButtonFacade borders are the wrong color, and changing it doesn't stick on logging out and back in, but that's probably fairly easy to track down, I just haven't gotten around to it.

I would have no idea how or where to upload this, and I'm sure I'd need the author's permission to do so.

Apparently spending the afternoon learning LUA can be productive.. :)

Well, it's simple. The aura api will change, so everything related to pulling vertex colors (which is something BF does) to identifying buffs/debuffs will need to be changed. Might I suggest you look into Ace3 for future development? It proved to be lighter than Ace2.

So, is nobody interested in a Wrath updated version of Buffalo 1?

It works, no bugs, I swear. :)

You're joking? Post it, man. And try to insert it in project, as I see original author abandoned this good small and skinnable (!) by ButtonFacade project.

Impeccable timing. I just wanted to sit down and see what's broken on the PTR (Buffalo isn't developed anymore, but that doesn't mean I abandoned it completely). Would you be so kind and upload your changes? And please, go ahead and add your name to the author tag in the toc. Thank you for your contribution.

I would love for an update. Working with just X-Perl for buffs can be a pain when I cannot right-click out of a buff.

I prefer Buffalo 1 over 2 anyways.

Buffalo 1 is the only Buff/Debuff addon I can stand using. Whoever thought bars were a good idea should be shot.

Before Buffalo I would just MoveAnything the default Buff frames but Buffalo has spoiled me. This working in Wrath would be a huuuge win for my sanity.

I would upload it, but I don't really know how to do that. Do I need to use SVN? Do I need an access password or something?

And no, I'm not kidding, I fixed it and it works.

It looked like nobody was going to fix it, so I took the liberty. Learned some LUA in the process (I'm a C++/Python programmer.)

I have added you to the authors list of the Buffalo project. You now have two choices: attach your updated Buffalo as a zip to a forum post, so I can upload your changes to the svn. Or, you could get TortoiseSVN (assuming you work under Windows), check out vanilla Buffalo (don't overwrite your version), overwrite it with your updated version and commit the changes. The URL you have to enter at checkout would be

svn://daedhir@svn.wowace.com/wow/buffalo/mainline/trunk

(at least I think it would be). The password is your wowace password.

I'll do this tonight, I promise. My guild imploded yesterday, so I was a bit busy.

Okay, I uploaded the changes (from my Linux laptop in my hotel room in Anaheim). If somebody else could check it out from svn and test that it's working on the beta or the PTR, I'd appreciate it. I'm without my beta install and I can only play WoW currently on my laptop with Wine. With the patch coming out Tuesday, I guess it's pretty crucial that it's working soon.

There's an issue, though -- it's not able to get the LibAbacus embedded lib from svn when you check out Buffalo, so you might have to embed the library yourself.

All of the changes were in Buffalo.lua and Buffalo.xml, so I think those were the only files I modified.

The zip file was too large to attach in the forum, so if I need to upload a zip someplace else please let me know.
