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.

Addons loaded: TooManyAddons and OptionHouse

On login, I get one error. I deleted my SavedVariables/Quartz.lua and when logging back in it exploded with errors. First two, then a total of 12.

Would quoting any of those errors be useful?

What's up with the Latency? It is showing at the begining of the bar, not at the end. I can find no way to change the location.

This is from another user with the same problem:
"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"

I have a problem with the Latency instead to have it at the end like you can in the screenshot I get it at the begening of my casting bar .Someone can tell me if this a bug or how I can set it properly please?"

just did a few more tests and found out that it doesnt happen every time. After i reloged it was gone and the next time i loged in it was back =/ cant find any pattern to this behavior, maybe someone can check if im the only one experiencing this. It only happens with channeled spells i believe were the castbar doesnt fill up with the cast but empties over the time of the cast

i have a problem with the latency bar and the cast spark, it seems for normal spells it is working fine, but for channeled spells the latency bar overlaps the casting spark, changing the alpha of the bar wont change anything, i made a screenshot:

hope there is a way to fix it

Does anyone have this problem too? I click '' toggle bar lock '' and move the target bar up and make it larger. When I log off, it resets and returns to its old place. There isn't a save button. How to solve this problem?

Hi,

First of all, much appreciation goes out for the great addon and frequent updates. Thanks! :)

My question is about the possible addition of cast bars for Target of Target. Is this option available, did I miss it somewhere in the config screen?

Is there a way to change the Quartz profile via chat/macro/script command?

In Quartz2, I could do this with /run Quartz:SetProfile("heal"), but it doesn't work since Quartz3 :-(

I'm having an issue where the target castbar shows the cast did not complete (juke), but the cast actually lands. I see the target castbar appears for about 0.5 seconds and then disappears, but the 1.5 second cast actually completes. My FPS is a consistant 60fps and my latency is about 40ms. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Did the latency system change? I thought it "red" section was at the end of the bar, thus letting you know when you could start casting your next spell. Now its at the start of the bar, and I can't see that it helps at all.

Unless I'm missing something?

There appears to be a bug with the swing timer. Particularly, I seem to be unable to move it on the Y axis when setting the bar position to "free". The slider is simply stuck. I can change the coordinates manually, but the position always resets eventually. Everything else works perfectly.

Hi.

Where did "lock" checkbox for bars go? How am I supposed to move casting bar to where it doesn't hide behind other UI elements if I cannot see it?

In settings, click on the main "Quartz 3" header. The button there is "Toggle Bar Lock." This was bugging me too.

Oh, and when I log off with any char, any changes I've made to the bars reset to default when I re-log. Pain is the ass :l

I'm having this same problem, I go in and change the 4 profiles it automatically makes for my druid (Druid, Default, Druid Daggerspine and Daggerspine) and even make a new profile named 'Overall' and they're all set to the same settings, when I relog, the 'Overall' profile doesn't exist, and the 4 auto profiles are reset to the addon's default settings
