Vanilla Consolidate Buff-Frames (VCB) is a smart system to manage your auras. The AddOn provides a lot functions to customize it to your tastes and adds a lot of helpful functions for a better overview, which is its purpose in the first place anyway.
- A better overview for your auras due to consolidation
- Never reach the aura cap because of useless auras that you don't need anyway with the Banning-System
- Each frame is movable, independently from each other
- Display even potential buffs, either grayed out or/and as number on the icon
- Display more than 16 buffs
- Customize the frames to your personal tastes
- Nearly everything is customizable
- Download the AddOn here
- Rename the unziped folder to "VCB"
- Place the folder into your AddOn directory in your World of Warcraft folder
- (If you had a previous version (<v2.5))
- Go into your WTF/Account/ACCNAME/SavedVariables/
- Delete VCB.lua and VCB.lua.bak
- Go into your WTF/Account/ACCNAME/SERVER/CHARNAME/
- Delete VCB.lua and VCB.lua.bak
- Delete VCB_AutoUnbuffer.lua and VCB_AutoUnbuffer.lua.bak
- Delete VCB_Buffframe.lua and VCB_Buffframe.lua.bak
- Enjoy
This is AddOn has become very huge and for one person a gigantic task.
To keep this AddOn Up-To-Date, performant, clean and bugfree, I need your help!
You can help in many ways:
- Report Bugs, tell me how to reproduce them and improve everyones experience
- Give your opinion about the AddOn and point out ideas in the forum threads (Nostalrius / Kronos)
- Some localizations are still missing, and since some functions require this, it is an important task and deserves a lot of thanks. If you are a native speaker of following languages and willing to contribute to this project then copy this form and post it in one of those threads. (Nostalrius / Kronos)
Following languages are still missing: Spanish(esEs), Spanish(Mexican)(esMX), French(frFR), Italian(itIT), Korean(koKR), Portuguese(ptBR), Russian(ruRU), Chinese(zhCN), Chinese(Taiwan)(zhTW) - If you play on Kronos you can donate Gold to Shino (on Alliance). By that I can invest more time in programming instead farming consumables.
Everyone who contributes to this will be mentioned in the About Tab of the AddOn for an permanent time!

- Debuffs who are applied twice are not displayed correctly -- FIXED
- Timer are not working correctly sometimes -- FIXED
- All aura frames pop up the consolidated buff frame -- FIXED
**Fender:**
- Mirror consolidated buff frame -- DONE
- Change order off buffs in the consolidated buff frame -- DONE
- Change order in general -- DONE
- Create an system to order buffs -- DONE
**Moosic:**
- Scale the whole module -- DONE
- Change the buff border's color (red to gold/black(?)) -- DONE
**Ayz:**
- Let buffs and debuffs be movable independently of each other -- DONE
- let the timers scale together with the icon-size, currently the timers are same size regardless of icon size -- DONE
- option to show timers as example 0:24 instead of 24s -- DONE
- Enable consolidated buffs for target debuffs - would be useful in raids for some classes if not all
**Hallonkaka:**
- Option to have buffs/debuffs flashing then they just have a couple of seconds left, like the normal buffbar -- DONE
- Make the frames less mushed when there's no buffs ([image](http://i.imgur.com/SRFLNH3.png)) -- DONE
- Had some issues with trying to move the frame, but realized later that i need to click to the left of the icon to move it. so make the icon the thing to click -- DONE
- One major improvement could be to make it really like retail and have a counter that shows how many buffs out of how many possible buffs you have. -- DONE
- Example: you add the buff "Power Word: Fortitude" along with the class "Priest", so whenever a priest is in your group, it will show 0/1 if the priest hasn't buffed stamina. -- DONE
- the visual part with grayed out icons for missing buffs when you hover over the icon is probably a bit harder (or just annoying to code) so a simple list with "Missing Buffs" would work just as fine. -- DONE
1. You have to bann/add buffs in the language of your client. If you ban an buff in english but you use an german client for example, it won't work.
2. I get an lua error after installing it, what should I do. You probably had an version before. I addded a lot of new variables that you need to reload therefore follow the instructions carefully!
