This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.
Simple cooldown bars.
Features:
- Config GUI (/cooldowns)
- Toggle whether to display the bar when the spell is off cooldown
All I want is a solid bar -- no text. Could you please add an option to hide the text like you have to hide the icon? I want to put the bar directly over the action bar button, so I'll know what it's for without the text. Add this and it will be perfectly simple!
This addon doesn't work the way it's supposed to. When the bars are not set to "Display when off cooldown", they still don't go away when the cooldown is done. Too much screen clutter. Programmer should have checked his/her code before releasing. Unprofessional.
This addon is one what is a "must" (I have no idea how ppls play wow without cooldown bars, prolly looking at their action bar or just clicking buttons even if spell is on cd). There are CooldownTimers1/2/3 and SexyCooldown what are doing same thing what this addon, but first are not supported (they have bug related to switching spec, when you have to relog for addon to start showing cooldowns), while that logariphmic addon looks nice and has 0 use (for me sorry).
I didn't test this addon with dual spec, because at current stage of design I can't use it anyway: - bars sometimes dissapears from screen after cooldown gone or stay with "Ready" text and I can't figure out why (option "show even if no cooldown" if unchecked of course), having screen filled with bars what say "ready" is not what I want; - as shaman I really like "condensed bars" feature from CooldownTimers, this way I can have bars for all shocks: flame, frost and earth, BUT only one what i used will be displayed. Maybe you can make what spellname is not fixed, but can contain "*" in it's name or something (sorry if idea is crap, I've no idea how u program it, prolly u need to know exact spell name to get it id and subscribe on events, dunno)? This way i could have bar called "*shock". Please think about it, having 3 bars appearing all time i press shock is not really nice (I can actually use only one shock, to example "flame shock", but this way I lack some kind of clear evidence what shock I've pressed). Maybe you can provide "alternative" name for bars? So it will not display spell name, but name I want? I will create bar for flame shock, disable icon and call it "Shock" instead (so I will know my shocks on cd). - another thing (from CooldownTimers too btw) is when my spell on cd and I have bar for it on screen and I am trying to use it again - this bar will become BIG and then small (showing me what I am trying to use spell what is on cd). This is currently bugged in CooldownTimers too (bar sometimes, if not always, stays BIG until cd finishes).
And regarding UI, with current version I will have a big list of spells, every spell will have controls for it, what If you provide a way for spells to be collapsed somehow? Something like:
Also some ideas: - make kind of profiles (to example, for different specs I may want to see different cooldowns in SAME PLACES, yes, i can try to put different bars into ~ same place, but they more likely to be grouped now), switching between them not neccessary to be automatic (I can click 1 button or something on screen each time i respec); - more customized bars view (now i can't change font size, reposition text, so for longs spell names I need to have LONG bars, otherwise time will eat some of it name, looks ugly, with "alternative name" for spell bar I can call spell shorter, to example, "CL" instead of "Chain Lightning", etc); - add support for broker - to example see there current profile name, click on button to display GUI and such.
Add a bar for your gloves lot. Simply enter "10" as the spell name and SCB should create a bar for your gloves (that updates whenever you equip new items).
beta-1.5 is out. Fixed inventory bugs, placement should always be saved now too. Added sticky bars - drag a bar onto another one to anchor it to that one. Set the offset in the config GUI.
I actually can't wait for the full version to be released! And as Chimaine said - the config window REALLY needs to be fixed, grouping would be nice, and it seems that the placement doesn't save when you log. I logged back in after configuring the cooldowns but they all appeared bunched up!
Nice idea. But: The config is poorly organized, if you have too much cooldowns, they go outside the config window. No option for groups. Would be better if you could group up bars. Eg for spell cds and trinkets.

And regarding UI, with current version I will have a big list of spells, every spell will have controls for it, what If you provide a way for spells to be collapsed somehow? Something like:
+Spell 1 (collapsed)
+Spell 2 (collapsed)
-Spell 3
setting 1
setting 2
...
+Spell 4 (collapsed)
This way it would be easier to browse it.
Also some ideas:
- make kind of profiles (to example, for different specs I may want to see different cooldowns in SAME PLACES, yes, i can try to put different bars into ~ same place, but they more likely to be grouped now), switching between them not neccessary to be automatic (I can click 1 button or something on screen each time i respec);
