Is there a way to make this benecast work with the Perl mod that is part of Grimpack UI?
everytime i try to lead benecast w/perl it drops to desktop

Edit benecast.xml
Search for "BeneCastMember9"

Change the whole line to this:
<Button name="BeneCastMember9" inherits="BeneCastMemberTemplate" id="9" parent="UIParent">

If you are getting errors when addon loads, delete the file benecast.lua in your \WTF\<your account>\<your character>\SavedVariables folder.

I really love this mod, but I'm having lots of issues with the latest patch. It seems that the mod only works on your own character, and whenever i try to select any other characters the benecast buttons appear greyed out.

Will you be updating this soon? I am getting error messages since the 1.9 patch.

Also, what happened to the ability to make the casting bars and icon moveable and the ability to set what is cast for each class?

Skurel, for the heal spells do you have BeneCast check which level spell to offer before or after the button is pressed?

An option to disable Benecast's checking whether to offer buff spells, and another one to disable choosing what level spell to use might be handy. I'd definitely use it, because while disabling these abilities takes a lot out of benecast's repertoire, I'd still like to be able to turn them off in lag-heavy environments.

Thanks for creating this addon. It works like a dream.

Personally, I believe this is one of the best mods for WoW if you are a priest. I have noticed it can be a bit buggy, but haven't experienced major hang times while switching targest as posted by Nidifice.
I love BeneCast, but I would like to suggest a couple of improvements because there are a few things about it that is really annoying.



BeneCast buttons overlap the Auction house. When I right click Auctioneer, it selects him and shows his benecast buttons that overlap the Auction house window. Is there are way to program: (If AH open > then disable Benecast)?

Priest racial abilities don’t seem to be included, at least not Feedback (human priest)

Add a toggle to show and hide BeneCast buttons, how hard could that be?

Finally, the most irritating thing for me is that it seems that the x and y coordinantes of BeneCast buttons for group members is in relation to the top left corner of the screen. This creates a problem when u have Hunters or Warlocks in the group that have pets/minions because the pet/minion shifts the rest of the group down and the buttons are then offset. A solution to this problem would be to make it so the x and y coordinants of the buttons are set in relation to the group member position on the screen, if that is possible. Perhaps this would be the hardest of my three suggestions to implement, but it would certainly make the mod 200% better in my opinion.


Thank you. Please let me know if you are able to fix or implement any of these.



BeneCast fan,
Chuxter

This version is pretty broken with the latest 1.6 patch. Anytime you are in a party/raid you get big hang times when switching targets, it makes the mod unuseable. The lag increases with more spells selected and more buttons visible.
