About Debuff Filter

This addon is to filter out the debuffs and buffs you don't care about. If you melee, you can filter out everything but CoR, FF, and Sunder. If you're a caster, you can just show debuffs like CoE and Winter's Chill. Healers can filter out everything but their buffs and HoTs, etc.

It supports the 40 debuff limit, and besides filtering your current target, you can filter buffs/debuffs on yourself, and buffs/debuffs on the Focus target.

To configure the mod once it's installed, type /dfilter -- you should see a simple UI. To add a filter, select your target from the dropdown menu (Target, Player, Focus), select the Buff or Debuff tab, then type in the name of your buff/debuff and click Add.

If you're not sure how to set the Focus target, you can either type /focus <target> or go into keybindings and bind keys to "Focus Target" and "Target Focus" under Targeting Funcions.

Note: make sure filtering is turned on for your target type, or you won't see anything get filtered.

To move the frames, check "Show Backdrop" and shift-click and drag one of the backdrops.

If you'd like to change the orientation of any frame, select the direction under the dropdown Grow menu, then configure how many buffs or debuffs you'd like to see per row. The layout settings are as follows:

Right-Down, Right-Up: grows to the right, new rows start below or above the first row.

Left-Down, Left-Up: grows to the left, new rows start below or above the first row.

If the "rows" setting is set to 1, you'll have vertical orientation.

To change the orientation of the buff duration time, ctrl-right click the frame you'd like to configure.

A few configuration options exist that aren't available through the UI -- to see them, type /dfilter help

Settings are stored on a per-character/server basis, so it should work fine if you have alts.

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 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.

I would just like to say thank you very very much for this addon :)

I'm using it to watch just Sunder/Hamstring on my warr for PvP and it's incredibly useful

hey great mod, but i have 1 problem.

My player buffs does not have that slick watch-like curtain witch indicate how long time my buff have left before they run out.. this seems kind odd since my target debuffs do and it is really anoying beacuse as i tank i need to see comanding shout and Shield block and so on..
its not because i have any other addons blocking or any thing ,tried disabeling them all but no possitive resault. the best i can get is a timer under the buff but even that seems bugged, have tried with omniCC does not work eather.. hope that you can hlp me

/Regards Madvil

Re: Madvil1

Unfortunately what you want just isn't possible with the interface for player buffs. At best, you can use OmniCC to have large numbers placed over each icon, or use the default mm:ss timer format. Either way, you should always be able to see an accurate timer for player buffs and debuffs.

Re: check buttons
Do you have a spell in the list selected? If you don't, what you described will happen. This is normal since these features are per-spell and not general options.

So, i'm using the german client and version 1.91 of this addon. I'm always getting this error and the whole options menu is messed up:
[string "DebuffFilterOptions_Slider1:OnValueChanged"]:2: attempt to concatenate global 'DFILTER_OPTIONS_SCALE' (a nil value)
string "DebuffFilterOptions_RowSlider1:OnValueChanged"]:2: attempt to concatenate global 'DFILTER_OPTIONS_ROW' (a nil value)
Deactivating all my other addons didn't fix the problem. Neither did using older versions. Is it maybe just incompatible with the german client?

Re: German client issues
DOH! Someone else mentioned this problem and I just now realized why it's happening.. for a temporary fix, open up localization.lua and put a -- in front of lines 1 and 50. They should look like:
--if (GetLocale() == "enUS" or GetLocale() == "enGB") then

--end
I'll fix this in the release for 2.2.

little suggestion:
I'm a healer, so I rarely target mob in fight (I have to heal the MT)
It is possible to add target's target debuff/buff filter ? I want to see if my target's target got some buff/debuff, very usefull for an officer.. :P

Re: target's target
Since the API doesn't let you monitor when buffs or debuffs update on your target's target, this change would be sort of messy. For a quick hack instead, what you can do is change the word "target" (with quotes) on lines 288, 310, 331, 364, 386, and 400, with the word "targettarget"
This will monitor debuffs and buffs on your target's target, but it will only update the list of buffs when your target's buffs change. Since you're healing the MT, this shouldn't be a problem.
Hope this works for you!

I love this mod.
It would be even better if I could create my own regions/categories.
For example, I'd really like all the slowing/snares to show up in one place, and the bleed/dots to show up another place.

Can anyone confirm that this addon correctly displays Curse of the Elements? On Gruul last night, our warlocks kept swearing it was up, but I could not see it. "Curse of the Elements" is the correct spelling and capitalization, no? US English client.

Will this addon be extended to include party and raid members? Would be nice just to have this functionality for HoTs, etc.

Displays VT well on my priest, but I cannot get mangle work on my druid. Maim is displayed wel, but mangle (properly spelled, "mangle (Cat)" and "mangle (bear)" is not working. What am I doing not well? Is there any way to stack mangle bear and cat?

Re: Mangle
Hmm, are you sure the casing for each is correct? I've added both to my debuff list, so I'll see if they show up for me. As for stacking, there's no way to stack them into one icon since they both appear under different names.
Re: concatenate error
Has this problem occured again? If the localization file is being loaded properly, I don't know how this would happen.
