The new cooldown timers on Blackmoor's Favor and Asheron's Benediction are causing an error window to pop up until the cooldown timer is complete. After that, it stops popping up and AC+ works fine. Just a FYI.

Yeah, this is a known issue. AC+ is half way through a major upgrade right now, I can't release a fix without releasing it with a whole lot of unfinished bits. It's the debuff hud that's causing the error; disable that and you should be fine.

Another thing I noticed about AC+ (I realize you can't release a fix, but it might be something to look at before releasing the next version) is a problem I found with the buffing.


Last night I died for the first time since the patch. I use AC+ to do my buffing for me (though it's not set to maintain, I just click buff now).


Well I died, and all of a sudden it lost track of all of my buffs, so after hitting buff now it kept doing the same buffs over and over and over and over and over again. It wouldn't have been a big deal because I would have just relogged... except we were in room 15 of the colosseum heh.

That's odd.. I know it occasionally fails to detect when an item buff is cast, I'm still trying to track that one down, but I've never known it to completely lose track of the buffs like that.


Which buff(s) was it re-casting? The whole lot, or just one of them?

Well it got down to the items, (it lost track of the ToD gem also and kept spamming that over and over, but that didn't really bother me), but then after it got down to like 15 or 16 buffs left (just item) it sat there and kept casting one over and over and over, then after a minute it jumped back up to having like 25 buffs left and kept casting one of the creature buffs over and over, so I noticed it wasn't progressing and disabled all of the buffs, and as I disabled them it would decrease the buffs in queue and as I got past each buff that it was stuck on it would move to another that was still on the list. When I finally unchecked everything it said I had 4 buffs left and just kept casting infected spirit drinker on my wand. Now I suspect the reason it kept doing that is that not all of the item spells have a check mark under each of my wands for some reason now... so I could only deselect defender under the wand I was using. I think I might try uninstalling AC+ and re-installing it. I'd post an export but the only thing that's changed since last time you looked at mine is the memlocs (which I've updated to the newest ones).


Maybe in the next version we could get a cancel buffing button or something so that if it loses track like this again, I can just kill it and finish my buffs manually without having to log off?

Odd.. I wouldn't bother trying to uninstall/reinstall, it's unlikely to fix it. It sounds like it's REALLY struggling to identify when item spells are cast though; it happens to me as well, but not that often. Unfortunately, I haven't had much chance to play since the patch, or I might have noticed something odd happening myself if the last patch has messed things up; hopefully I'll have that chance in a few weeks.


There is a hotkey for 'stop buffing' though, it'll be in the DHS list. You can also set a hotkey to just cast one buff, and it'll only cast whichever one it is due to cast next and stop. In theory anyway, if odd things are happening, I can't be sure. It might be preferable to using the 'Buff Now' button if it's being unreliable.

Thanks for the suggestion about the debuff hud...I just turn it off when i use the gems and back on when the cooldown is done.

The problem I have with buffing on AC+ comes from fellowship spells and beers. Whenever a beer is active or a fellowship spell is active, AC+ will continue to cast the same spell over and over because the fellowship or beer spell overrides the just-cast spell.


I'm also getting the cooldown timer bug.


Otherwise, AC+ is an invaluable plugin and I cannot thank you enough for such a fantastic and useful plugin!!
