Thanks! I've thought of that too, I might update it to that, though its a big update, so not sure if or when.

I think it would be cool if new dungeons would be tracked as well (Black Drake Villa and The Cauldron). Also I think it may be reasonable to add ability to track Major Heroism since new set (Drake's Rush) can provide this buff for you and up to 3 allies in 15m range. Hope you'll have time to consider that... Best regards

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add these in my next update, along with Rockgrove zoneId.

Baumlaus Forum posts: 0 File comments: 23 Uploads: 0	Bigger request So I know this will be a lot to ask for, so it is more of a suggestion type thing then anything else really but it would set this addon apart from similar addons and fix a few issues that no addon that shows a lot of buffs really has yet. 1. It would be great if the addon has an option that it does an item check and only shows the buffs that you activted when you have the actual set active. E.g. on some bosses/trash I run PA (Powerful Assault) and on some I don't but the addon always shows me PA which obviously clutters the screen when it wouldn't have to. So it be nice to have the addon do an itemcheck first maybe, again if there is the option for it (since sometimes you actually want to see buffs that others provide) 2. Way more complicated and too much probably but like I said, all just suggestions^^ I guess a somewhat of a accountwide setup system be nice. If you can create your own setups a la "rockgrove templar" / " Nightblade dd rockgrove" kinda stuff where you can save different buffs being tracked for different setups etc etc 3. Choosing the layout might actually also be nice. So that you can have 2x6 layout (what it currently is) or just a 1x12, 3x4 etc layout. Depending on how everyone has their UI setup sometimes I'd be nice to have it "less big" than the 2x6 layout

Hey Monkieponkie, thanks for this feedback! I've added this as well as Major Expedition to the latest version of BTG.

Ah, think I forgot to update the savedVariable version. You should just be able to reset/delete your savedVariables to fix this. Thanks!

Cool addon for the support, thank you very much!

The UI appears when you enter a group zone (Trial, Dungeon, Arena).

Any chance we could even get this enabled overland so we can use it within normal groups for worldbosses (DLC especially) e.g.?
I often do them during events with my guilds, to show them the bosses and explain stuff etc.
A setting checkbox like "Enable in overland groups too" would be cool, or a slash command which remembers the state.

Or is /btg working for that purpose already (I was not able to test this yet).
I think it is checking some zoneIds in btgData so it might not work.

btw: Innstead of hardcoding the zoneIds why don't you either use LibZones which provides API functions to check if the zone is a trial, dungeon etc., or just use the API functions given like IsPlayerInRaid() or IsUnitInDungeon("player"). IsUnitInDungeon will also return true if in a delve so if you want to one can in addition use the API function GetCurrentZoneDungeonDifficulty(). It will return these values:

Code:

* DUNGEON_DIFFICULTY_NONE
* DUNGEON_DIFFICULTY_NORMAL
* DUNGEON_DIFFICULTY_VETERAN

DUNGEON_DIFFICULTY_NONE -> Delve or pub dungeon
The others: Real dungeon in normal or vet mode

This would strip the whole zoneId checks and the need to update it after each new patch where zones and dungeons are added. Or as I proposed: Use LibZones as it was made for that purpose and is still recently updated.

Another thing:
If you define global variables like btg and btgData you'd better use an uppercase starting character or at best 1 table where all the globals of your addon are connected to, e.g. BTG = {
data = { ... },
}
This makes it easier to find related variables, and to debug stuff.
But imho: btg is way to common/non-unique and short for a global variable! Better use something like

Lua Code:

BuffTheGroup = {}
local btg = BuffTheGroup
local btgData = btg.data

Else your global btg might overwrite any local btg used somewhere else in other addons.

Asphyxis Forum posts: 0 File comments: 51 Uploads: 0	Some Ideas Role order on tracker (Tanks -> Healers -> DDs, or it can be changeable). Also, when we select "show just DDs" option, it overrides it to all buff trackers, I think this setting can be made seperately for each buff tracker (and "just show tank" or "just show healer" option can be added). Changing font type and size would be good.
