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.

Posted Jun 4, 2007I love this mod! Switched from ecasting bar latency to Quartz when someone mentioned it in the forums, and haven't looked back. :D
May I request a possible feature where you can see the mana cost of the spell currently being cast? Maybe placed under the bar or in the bar, I don't know.
Not sure if it's possible since I don't know anything about making mods, but it would be cool. :D
I notice also that the latency cutoff point/ cast time doesn't change when haste buff (like from the shaman buff) is in effect?

Posted Jun 3, 2007Unlock the bars.
Then you'll see them and you can drag them around to fit your likings.

This seriously is the best of all castbars. Lag meter. GCD Count, Swing Timer, Target Buffs / Debuffs, Enemy Cast Bar.
This is just perfect. Keep up the good work.
