Quartz

Table of Contents

Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:

*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors.

*Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar.

*Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars.

*Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar.

*Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again.

*Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it).

*Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings.

*Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars.

*Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast.

*Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot.

*Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars.

*Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.

Use /quartz to bring up the configuration menu.

same, happens every time enemy casts something, it pops up the error, fairly annoying.

Hey guys.

After 1½ year away from WoW, i just started a trial period. Problem is Quartz wont work for me.

In the newer versions there is no folder updates for Quartz_Buff/Quartz_Player/Quartz_Timer which means its all back to default... How can i import my old settings?

Thanks in advance

I spent a few hours today and edited the default 3.0.6 release to accurately show DoT ticks, even extra ones from haste and haste procs / raid buffs. It also updates the tick positions after spell push back.

I was wondering if the authors wanted to look at the code and integrate it with their official release. Let me know.

Hi, great addon!

I have been wanting a cast time indicator on the buff bars for some time.. Tonight I finally sat down and hacked it in;

This is the code I inserted, on line 955 of modules/Buff.lua

if not bar.castTimeIndicator then
	bar.castTimeIndicator = bar:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
	bar.castTimeIndicator:SetTexture(1,1,1,0.8);
end
_, _, _, _, _, _, castTime = GetSpellInfo(v.name)
if castTime then
	local w = (castTime / 1000) * bar:GetWidth() / (endTime - startTime)
	bar.castTimeIndicator:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", w, 0)
	bar.castTimeIndicator:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", bar, "BOTTOMLEFT", w + 1, 0)
	bar.castTimeIndicator:Show();
else
	bar.castTimeIndicator:Hide()
end

This appears to work perfectly for me, but it might break for others.. Only tested it using my shadow priest.

Cheers, Pres

If any castbars are enabled, and I go into an event with many, rapidly cast spells (Nef Phase 2, Rampart of Skulls in ICC), I get the following error, along with this kind of stuttering:

Also, I'd like to ask if there will ever be a way to calculate tick prediction base on the amount of push-back suffered. This is minor for Drain Life, Mind Flay, or similar spells but would be extremely helpful for Drain Soul or other very long channeled spells.

The Warlock spell Drain Life is incorrectly showing 5 ticks per cast instead of 3 ticks per cast. This makes it somewhat difficult to accurately know when to break channeling to refresh DoTs, Haunt, or Soul Swap when applicable.

I think there is something not cleaned up with timers, had the following message:

"AceTimer-3.0: Warning: The addon/module 'MoveAdj' has 791 live timers. Surely that's not intended?"

This and titan panel where the only addons using acetimer3.0 but I couldn't find anything with MoveAdj in the files.

Hey.

Have you considered adding a swing bar for enemy attacks? It doesn't have to be anything fancy or complicated since parry haste has been removed for pretty much all bosses but such a function would be invaluable for (DK) tanks.
I know there is a macro to show the target's attack speed (/script mainSpeed, offSpeed = UnitAttackSpeed("target"); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Main Hand: "..mainSpeed); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Off-Hand: "..offSpeed);) and off hand swings don't really matter much for this and can be ignored IMO.

Thanks for your time!

Is there a Quartz module or feature aimed at helping the player always get their next cast fired off within the 0.5 second next cast buffer? I'm thinking something similar to the red/colored portion of the cast bar used to indicate latency. I'd be interested in this functionality both for the main player cast bar as well as the GCD spark.

I know the exact time is already displayed, but that's not quite as easy to use as a big colored bar. I also know many players (including me) have a rhythm that probably already works most of the time, but I do feel like I miss the buffer every once in a while, particularly during haste procs where I'm casting a string of instants.

Fatigue timer stops counting after 4-5 seconds and only updates when you go out of a fatigue zone.
