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.

I am out of options, and really need help with the following mods:

Quartz
Pitbull
Cartographer

The problem is as follows:
Clicking the addons button on the character screen, shows the above mentioned mods, with all it's modules in RED, saying dependency missing, and as the dependency, written the name of the mod ie. Pitbull. The confusing thing is all the people for which the mods are actually working, since I've tried absolutely everything, deleting "Interface" and "WTF" countless times, and going from scratch, with no difference at all :( I have seen 3 or 4 posts with the same problem, with no response...

Please help me fix this issue, I haven't played the game at all since the patch, because without those 3 mods, WoW just isn't WoW. Thanks for creating them, and thanks in advance for the replies (if I get any),

cheers

The focus buff bars don't work. The target ones work fine, though.

I cant get anything on the mod to work. When I open up the options, only things showing are colors and profile. In the add ons options on the character select screen, all the different options are colored red.

Debuffs on the target don't appear and channeled spells disappear while casting.

When I cast Earth Shield on my focus target, I get a lua error about comparing a string with a number in buff.lua at line 372. Replacing "if duration" with "if duration <> nil" fixes the error, but I don't get the usual buff timer/charge count for the earth shield.

Hi there,

I'm a first-time user of Quartz and so far I love it but I'm having a few problems/questions:

1. My focus buff timers aren't working. When I sheep someone, the bar pops up, but there's no timer and no countdown. Is this something I can fix or an issue in progress?

2. Can I get this to track debuffs like Silences and Deep freezes on my targets/focus? Natur ECB used to have a timer where it would count down my 4 second silence and the school silence. And can I get it to show a bar counting down my Deep Freeze stun?

3. Will this show gains like Ice Block and Paladin Bubble? Natur ECB way back in the day (the functionality broke a few patches ago) would show a timer when a target would ice block or bubble. Can Quartz do that?

I think this is all my questions. Love the mod so far, keep up the great work! :D

If you're a Hunter... Why do you care when your auto shots go off at this point?

Knowing when your auto shot will go off is very important in a hunter's shot rotation in order to maximize damage and maintain efficiency. If you don't know what a shot rotation is... then no... your auto shot timer wouldn't be important to you at all...

I can't get the swing timer (auto-shot for my hunter actually) to work. I simply can't find it in the config menu. Anyone know where to find the swing timers?

New release is working great. Thanks.

Doesnt matter now, but for the last release it worked for some chars, and not others. Even when I only had Quartz on it still didnt work on some.

I cannot see my latency bar area to know when i can recast the next spell. Changing all the colors do not work except for the background, which stays transparent. I have installed the most recent patch. What can i do?

Does anyone have a fix so I can get back my timer for my Focus buff bar timer? I can see the timer on the target buff bar but not on the Focus buff bar , which mean I have to keep my focus target in order to see the time . Any suggestions???
