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.
Thank you in advance.
Carenzi
it used to work but now it only shows up when i keep reset it and it would just disapear after. anyone having same problem?
I am trying to create an addon that will change the colors of other addons to make a global color scheme for your UI and would like to know what command to use to change the colors of the cast bars.
old quartz command was something like Quartz.db.profile.lagcolor = (number)
plz help
i dont know what to do to fix it. please helop
self.frame.background:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)
self.frame.remaining:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)
self.frame.xpbar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)
This fixed the stretching behavior and reverted it back to an uncover/unmask. :D
Just thought I would share that in case anyone else uses the addon or another like it that uses textures and has started behaving differently.
Thanks again adamhj for the editing tips! I feel smarter now :P
Wonder if anyone else has found this and may know how to correct.. thanx in advance..
It's two pixel too large.
open CastBarTemplate.lua with a pure text editor(notepad for example), move to line 400 and delete(or comment out, add "--" before these lines) the 2 lines:
self.Bar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)
self.Bar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetVertTile(false)
the castbar texture will be go back to old style("uncover", not "stretch")
same problem also exists in modules\Buff.lua, modules\Mirror.lua, modules\Swing.lua, you may search for SetHorizTile/SetVertTile and delete/comment out them to change the behavior of corresponding module""
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This works! Thank you so much for this info :D I was really annoyed by the stretching textures, especially after I had taken so much time choosing textures and setting it up the way I liked it. I commented out those lines by putting 2 dashes in front of the lines and it was just like it was pre-update. Now if I can just figure out why one of my toons has my preferred "Rocks" texture on the swing bar, but I cant seem to make the others that way, not seeing a texture drop down menu on the Swing module option pane. Weird. lol.
Could you please help me, how to modify quartz so it works only when polymorph is casted? I want to have shown only focus bar for polymorphs only, so I can swd them..I was trying to modify .lua for like an hour and I can't get it work.. Thank you
