About Paladin Buffer

Raid assignment example

Note!: I've not played a Paladin for a while and so this isn't maintained. Antiarc has written his own Pally Power replacement that I would recommend using in place of PB: http://www.wowace.com/addons/blessed/

Paladin Buffer is meant to simplify the assigning and managing both greater and single blessings... and there's not really much to it besides that. Includes a small buff status frame to see what the lowest greater and single blessing is overall and per class, the ability to buff individual classes through it as well as a key binding to smart greater and single buffing people. Syncs with other Paladin Buffer users, and includes an option (enabled by default) to sync with Pally Power.

Slash command is /paladinbuffer and the short cut is /p

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

do you have multiple installations of WoW? if so.. you might need to direct the curse client where to install these addons.. But I've used it for a while now.. and i have no problem with it.. I use version 3

Another thing that would be nice is if PB would know now to use a greater blessing when there is only one person of the class, or at least if I'm not partied with anyone else. I have glyphs so my blessings last longer so I prefer not to use reagents I don't need to.

Thanks!

Minor glyphs only improve the duration for your own character.

Is there a command to change profiles from a macro?

Great addon, I'm trying to use Paladin Buffer to replace my current PallyPower... but one thing i miss from PallyPower is the ability to single buff with a right click on the smart buff icon. Would it be possible to add that functionality with Paladin Buffer.

Wonderful addon, but one question if I may. The buff frame, is there a way to hide it? Being able to buff everyone at the same time is amazing, but with the ability to do so, I can now simply watch my own buff and refresh them all when mine is low, which eliminates the need to see when all of the buffs are low on time. If there isn't a way to hide the frame, could you possibly add that to your next release if it's not too complicated to code?

Thanks for making this addon. I got PP once and it was so huge and complicated that I just had to remove it. Since then practically every raid i've been in ppl nag me about not having PP. Since you've made this able to sync with PP, you've made life easier. Thanks!

Zappster said

I love your simple approach. PP was (for me) ugly and ZOMGBuffs way to complicated.

One issue that bothers me is to type /pb assign everytime I want to change buffs. Could you add a modifier to your mouse event listener that will open the assignement frame?

So far, I think this is a great addon. Very simple to use and very effective. My only problem with is is its default frame where it is just centered right over your character. I know some people like it right in the middle of their screen but would it be possible to allow it to be movable in the future?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Shadowed said

Which frame are you talking about, the assignment gui or the buff frame? The buff frame can be moved through ALT + Drag (You need to unlock it through /pb config)

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Sanaelar said

Well actually you just made me feel stupid being that I didn't notice the option saying to use the alt key in order to drag. Problem solved. Thanks!

Re-doing my previous comment more constructively.

As of the latest version this addon no longer works for me as it only shows myself in parties... nobody else. Maybe it's something i'm doing wrong but i didn't see a setting.

This addon is aesthetically pleasing and you state that Pally Power does unnecessary things. Those unnecessary things are actually the features i think would rock to have in this addon :). I would love to see you watching mounts and tell the user to buff Crusader Aura, then when they dismount have a setting to drop back to their other previously chosen aura. And seal management automatically.

^ Take from that you shouldn't call something useless just because you don't like it. I imagine a lot of other people do :)

Not working in party is fixed, I just pushed it so it'll take an hour or so before Curse accepts it.

Actually I didn't think of this, but here's a better way of looking at it.

I design addons in a minimalistic way, while I try to make them flexible enough without having to add lots of additional code (eg, SimpleBuffBars and Afflicted), I'm generally stingy about what features I add, while I don't say no to every single feature I keep anything new I add to the scope of how I designed the mod originally.

In the case of PaladinBuffer, the scope is just blessings, adding things like auras means making the assignment UI bigger, more code to support special cases like aura comm code, and so on, which goes outside the scope of how I've designed this addon. Personally, I consider the features in PallyPower to be worthless, I don't care about auras, seals, etc, nor do I think they should be in a blessing addon, but I also don't want to have to use an addon like ZOMGBuffs which is for every single class not just Paladins specifically.

Some people of course, disagree with that philosophy and want it to do everything possible, it's not like I'm saying you can't use PallyPower of course, if you prefer more features than yes, you probably should be using PallyPower and not this mod.

But yes, it is ultimately a matter of perspective, I consider a lot of what PallyPower to be useless, of course others disagree but thats my opinion as a user and a developer. That's what choice is for, why there's like 20 UFs (In fact, another one once I work on mine)

Very constructive reply Shadowed and makes perfect sense. It's your addon and you will add what you want to it :) Thank you for fixing the problem.

Have you ever thought of making it modular to easily allow people to write their own modules to hook into the addon so that you don't have to maintain the code. This way people can write aura warnings / seal warnings?

Just a thought.

Shadowed said

I generally dislike writing code to be modular to allow hooking in as it complicates things, you have to add extra code that everyone uses for the minority who actually uses those hook ins.

If I was adding RF/Aura/Seal assignments and such, I wouldn't even use the PB GUI, I'd use a custom one that is more suited towards that, that was smaller.
