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.

Try the alpha version if you're having problems. Either get it from WowAce, or right-click in the Curse Client and tell it to get Alpha instead of Release.

Since the patch none of my settings save or have have saved from the previous patch. It resets back to default every ui reload and logging, any chance of an update?

Thank you very, very much Morsker, and anyone else who posted the fix of removing the Drain Mana line. Worked for me.

There are two errors needing fixing. I know the first has been listed already, but for simplicity, I'm going to list both here:

#1 - modules/player.lua
Go to line 190 and remove it or comment it out by adding "--" at the beginning of it.

#2 - modules/latency.lua
Go to lines 67 and 68 and change "RawHook" to "SecureHook"

I committed the Drain Mana fix because it was trivial, and the chance of me doing it in a way you wouldn't like is basically zero. Hopefully!

If you're using windows, exit wow, navigate to the folder with the file, and shift right click it, it should then bring a menu option of Open With, and use something like Notepad to open it up.

Open modules/Player.lua, find the line with GetSpellInfo(5138), and remove the line. It's Quartz trying to request information about Drain Mana, and it fails because the spell was removed, and this causes multiple issues.

This fixes issues with profiles, and the Tradeskill and Latency modules.
