Quartz
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.
any update for this one?
I was having this problem as well. I tracked down what my problem is so this might help you. Quartz is loaded as a LoD (load on demand) addon so that it isn't hogging up resources. As I understand, you then need an "on demand" mod to manage the "on demand" calls. Mine is called "Supply & Demand" and it was disabled in game, not on the AddOns menu at login. Once I turned Supply & Demand back on and then restarted WoW, Quartz began working like a dream.
I seem to be having the same problem as Faeda, who posted about a month ago. I have Quartz installed in my Interface/Addons folder. In game, I try to type /quartz in chat and it doesn't work. Try looking for the mod in DeuceCommander and the new Rock config thingie (I think that's what it's called) and it's not listed at all. However, Quartz does show up in my list of addons at the character select screen, and if I type /ace2 list enabled in chat, Quartz does show up in that list. I also can see a Feign Death bar when on my hunter feigning...
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
I get a cast bar that dislays weapon buffs on the left of my screen it also displays the duration of the buff how do I get rid of this bar
Murran:
type /quartz
On the left click on player and or target. For both or either UNCHECK the "Lock" option at the top of their respective configuration screens.
now you can drag and drop the bars anywhere you want.
The other bars are attatched to either the player or the target bars.
Target yourself (while you have buffs) if you want to configure the buff display.
The swing timer is also attached to the target or player bar.
The global cooldown timer is as well.
Both can be undocked(free) and configure as you wish and then redocked or positioned where you like.
Enjoy:)
This is a brilliantly designed add-on, and I love it. But, as far as I am concerned it lacks any kind of customization because the configuration screens for position / size / appearance are essentially unuable by a human.
I would love to see a preview -- see the way that elkano's buff bars makes up fake buffs that you can toggle on and off in order to position and style the bars how you would like them.
It really is great though - and I will use it regardless, but customization / positioning would make it unbeatable - without question.
Thanks for your development.

needs an option to show test bars to make setup easier

this isnt working for dual wielding...whats up with that?
I am having a hell of a time figuring out how to move these bars. Is there a read me or guide some where?
Figured it out by going through duece commander, combat, quartz, player and uncheck the lock.
As a mage i need to do a few things in battles like sheeping, counterspelling and so on. Isn't it somehow possible or does anyone know of a good way to spam this mod/macro. like:
if the cast is in the green area -> dont stopcasting
if the cast is in the red area -> stopcasting
It kinda takes up 80% of your time to see when the cast enters the red area, then u need to be quick to press your /stopcasting /cast spell macro. would be awesome to just spam it and have it auto-abort for you when the cast enters the red area.
Could someone explain how to move the caster bars and buff to another location? Many thanks
I don't suppose this could integrate with ACE Hud and show the latency color on the casting arc?
Great addon. However, I am having problems with many of icons not working and thus showing the face of wossname the blizzard graphics designer. Have the exact same problem in SCT. Fun meta joke I am sure, but I am sick to death of having the damn face on my screen all the time. Saw in the update notes for Natur Enemy Castbar that it now redirects the icons missing in the database to the "?" icon instead of the face, which would definetly be an improvement.
Any help on this matter would be most appreciated
How come my quartz swing timer doesnt work with my dual wielding warrior? I cant seem to find any bars counting my swings, and I've got it ALL enabled!
edit: it shows a small cheesy bar if I use my Rend spell, useless.
Anyone else seeing a problem where Quartz isn't showing the correct latency ?
i installed a few other latency mods and they all corresponed with each other, showing the same latency.
The only one that differs is Quartz.
Any ideas ?
Thx
For some reason, Quartz is not working on my computer. I would love to replace eCastingBar with it, but i cant get it to work. I turn off all my mods, minus Quartz and Ace, and /quartz doesn't work. Help?
UPdate: tried removing my wtf folder, and various other things - no luck. Works on my second account that i never play though =\ what gives.
hw do u make stop casting macros that stop casting and shoot then start casting again
