CooldownTimers2
Shows Status Bars that you can drag around and group up for your cooldowns, including abilities, items and your pet abilities.
digmouse's note:
I've been fan of CDT2 for years and already doing localization work for it since early BC. Speedy and sorren AFW, and I've done some maintainance for it when 2.4 hits. 3.0 and LK goes live and I played a while without it but actually found nothing better than it... even CDT3 which I took some part in its early days. So I tried, and it works. Thank god to Sorren and speedy's fantastic work. I dont want it die, so, my decision is taking over it with some implementation and fixes within my poor limited coding ability. I need any good reports and information, but not ideas for now since it may be beyond my current lua coding skill.
A TODO list:
-Make some clean up.
-Use Babble and SpellID to make it less translation-dependable
-Actionbar cooldown indication and pulse.
Known Issue:
-DB error on deleting certain cooldown groups.
-Not working properly for Death Knights.
CDT2 is currently available in enUS, zhCN, zhTW, deDE and koKR. esES, frFR ,ruRU and esMX are widely needed.
I am using it since years and are still happy that it's still there.
However, I am getting WoW errors when I hit/spam a spell right before the cooldown is about to vanish.
I would be very very pleased if soneone is able to fix this.
If this is not yet known, I am pleased to provide you with more data if you need some.
Thanks in advance,
and cheers ;)
+ Any spells that end up on CD are now shown (sometimes enemy debuffs or auras cause any spell to gain CD), not only those that officially can have a CD.
+ Spells that share a name (many feral abilities) now work properly, even simultaneously
+ Abilities that have gone off cooldown are no longer shown, even if the original time has not yet expired (many talents can proc "Finishes cooldown of X" now).
The following downgrades were added and bugs left unfixed:
- Party communication functionality has been removed as useless. (The config UI still shows the option, but it does nothing.)
- Config UI is still pretty much broken, but I have a working setup so I don't care.
Now, the question is: Any idea where I could upload the fixed zip? I doubt I can go and poke the repo (and would rather not, unless removal of party sync is deemed ok).
My solution was to make SPELLS_CHANGED start a 0.1 second timer before running PopulateCooldowns(), and all is well in the world. I think I have everything else fixed, so if people are interested, you can download my hacked version from http://laer.nu/wow/CooldownTimers2.zip
If the original author (or anyone else who takes over the project) decides to make an official update, feel free to use my code.
Cheers
function CandyBar:OnClick()
with
function CandyBar:OnClick(...)
and add the following line to the function:
local arg1, arg2, arg3 = ...
Replace
function CandyBar:OnUpdate()
with
function CandyBar:OnUpdate(...)
and add the following line to the function
local arg1, arg2, arg3 = ...
Where exactly the line is added doesn't matter, as long as it's before the use of the arg1-parameter.
Works for me, combined with the changes shangtz suggested.
Did u do anymore changes then those u posted?
Better - does anyone know ANY kind of bar-type cooldown addon that works? So not on buttons, but with timer bars. Like CDT2 and CDT3...
In CooldownTimers2\Libs\CandyBar-2.0\CandyBar-2.0.lua
Do a find/replace of "this" with "self"
In CooldownTimers2\CooldownTimers2.lua
Find/replace "SetSpell" with "SetSpellBookItem"
Find/replace "GetSpellName" with "GetSpellBookItemName"
You'll still get an error or two on startup or when you try to configure things, but functionally it's still going strong.
Please'll show how to change the time of pulsation skill in CooldownTimers2 ?. It is necessary that the icon would be displayed longer ...
For example I have a spellpower macro which casts Arcane Power, Icy Veins, Mirror Image and using Talisman of Resurgence. When the mod works as expected, 4 bars come up, 3 under skills and 1 under items. when the mod breaks, only 1 bar comes up under skills and 1 under items.
Also some cooldowns will just not be displayed when the mod breaks, like Blink, which i have hotkeyed to a mousebutton for quick use, no macro involved. I blink a lot, constantly watching the cd for when I can again during battles. So it is annoying when it suddenly doesnt show the bar.
What I want todo is set the timing so the text and icon will activate approximatly 0.5 seconds before the bar expires. So announce text and pulse icon will display and by the time they disappear off the screen the timer bar will be expiring (to account for my slow human response time).
Ty for a geart addon.
