Blizzard Raid Frames - Bigger Buffs
Bigger Buffs
(updated for 8.0)
Script that tweaks raid frames to change buffs appearance and behavior. Why would you stick with default frames? Ease of configuration and predictability are some of the pros. You don't need to add a list of "debuffs to watch" on every raid tier.
Type /bigger ingame for options.
- Can increase buffs' size
- Can show more buffs
Settings:
/bigger scale 15 - Changes the scale factor. 11 is Blizzard default. 15 is addon default.
/bigger maxbuffs 5 - Changes the maximum number of buffs. 3 is Blizzard and addon default.
/bigger rowsize 4 - Changes the number of buffs per row (3 is minimum and default)
Edit "CooldownsData.lua" if you'd like any additional buffs (from yourself) to show, like azerite traits.
Known issues
-
Due to limitations, if someone joins the raid while in combat, your raid frames will
be broken. In order to alleviate that, install the AMAZING Blizzard Raid Antidote -
If a frame is not updated, you can try switching between two raid profiles (out of combat).
Update notes
v18: Split buffs in multiple rows. `/bigger rowsize`. Thanks @fayap
v17: Def CDs removed due to bad performance. Suggest: use cooldowns on Raidframe by Nnogga weakaura
v16: Some fixes on personal buffs
v15: Defensive Buffs are back
v14: Basic BFA support

Contributing
I'm not really the addon guy. If you are the addon guy and wants to submit lewt contributions here ya go bitbucket repo for pull requests: https://bitbucket.org/willian_k/biggerbuffs , I'll stamp you huge thanks here.
Here are some interesting possible points of contribution:
- Adding a configuration UI which we could set up custom filters
- Find out how to trigger the refreshing event without manually switching profiles
This addon is broken for me atm.. if I type '/bigger scale 20' (or any number), nothing happends even if I change profie..
Only if I /update something happens.. But i lose my raidframes for good, until i restart the game without the addon loaded!
In reply to delaurent7:
No idea, you could try at most resetting the addon state by deleting its .wtf files somewhere inside the WTF folder
Defensive cooldowns are causing serious FPS issues, I am going to comment (remove) that part from code until I get a definite fix.
If you only play M+ you may manually edit the file containing the def cd listing.
Can I get some help please. When I thyped /bigger, it will say
Invalid arguments. Possible options are:
scale xx - Aura size factor. Default is 15. Blizzard's is 11.
maxbuffs xx
hidenames 0/1 - hides names in combat.
I only want to set my raid frame so that the buff from MW monk statue's soothing mist can appear
From some empyrical testing, it seems this addon has been quite a CPU hog in raids (which was quite expected after the BFA update). There are a couple of fixes I have in mind in order to alleviate the issue, which I'd analyze once I got some time.
Is the addon Works for 5man contente? Because, I just can't make my buffs increase in a DG group. =/
Added a mention to Blizzard Raid Interface Antidote. Its is amazing! You need to download it!!
update ?
In reply to Trax117:
FIXED
Neeeed update pls
In reply to star182:
any chance of updating this for 8.0.1? or BFA?
any word on when party raid frames for m+ and arena could be done? this would be huge.
Any help getting this to show 2 "additional" buffs at once?
I manually added 2 spells for Rdru pvp, Revitalize and Focused Growth, and can only get 1 to show at a time.
Thanks
A macro that I use for automatic raid profile switching when I enter the party:
/bigger maxbuffs 5
/bigger scale 14
/run CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile("123")
/run CompactUnitFrameProfiles_ActivateRaidProfile("456")
Change names '123' and '456' for whatever your profiles are called
