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.

Was fixed in an Alpha a little over a month, waiting for a new release version with it included ;-)

Quote from tt3obb >>

Everything is working fine except I don't have a swing timer anymore (hunter). It says its enabled.

I'm having this exact same problem myself. I can't get the swing timer to work on my Hunter no matter what I try. I was working fine before 8.0.

The latest update has made it impossible for me to disable Blizzard's castbar for targets. Whoops

Hi, could you make an option to use spec profiles? Like in Elvui:https://imgur.com/a/F8TG1jC

Hi, I notice when you craft a lot of stuff the total timer doesn't update. Example: 6s total time, crafting 3x things 2s each.

Its doing this:
(1st) 6/6...5/6...(2nd) 6/6... 5/6... (3rd) 6/6... 5/6... done.
and not this:
(1st) 6/6... 5/6... (2nd) 4/6... 3/6... (3rd) 2/6.... 1/6... done.

Thx in advance.

I noticed this while smelting ghost iron. Time/quantity doesn't go down as the queue runs.

Hey mate,

the new update works fine.

The only thing i am missing as a shadow priest are the tick lines for Mindexplosion.

For Mindflay it works perfect, as it always did.

Keep up the good work!

Funny, just logged in, went to the dummies to see how to get used to the default blizz cast bars, but wait, Quartz is now WORKING???

Kinda looks like it was some nastiness Blizz did that then fixed that was impacting Quartz... makes sense because I'm pretty sure I remember it working in the beta a while back.

QUARTZ IS ALIVE!

For everyone using Twitch, delete the Quartz (and keep the settings) and re-install it again.

it is working now.

Says it was just updated, not sure if I should or shouldn't expect that how I set it all up will return, but I can't see ANY cast bars at all (live servers 8.0.1), and I find I have major issues playing without them... I seem to be VERY dependant on Quartz AND ThreatPlates (which does work very well).

Is there some dumb thing I am doing to have them all gone?

8.x client have several API changes.

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20762318007

• UnitCastingInfo - dropped second parameter (nameSubtext).
• UnitChannelInfo - dropped second parameter (nameSubtext).

Belows are some fixes for people playing ptr.

Quartz\CastBarTemplate.lua:206-213

	local spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill, castID, notInterruptible
	if self.casting then
		spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill, castID, notInterruptible, spellID = UnitCastingInfo(unit)
	else -- self.channeling
		spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill, notInterruptible, spellID = UnitChannelInfo(unit)
		-- channeling spells sometimes just display "Channeling" - this is not wanted
		displayName = spell
	end

Quartz\modules\TradeSkill.lua:105

local spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeskill = UnitCastingInfo(unit)

In reply to insectKR:

After doing this my Player castbar disappears if I get hit while casting. I assume it has something to do with the cast pushback from taking damage as it doesn't happen on a void elf which are immune to that.

Any idea how to fix that? other than that it seems to work.

EDIT:

I managed to fix this by changing

local spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime if self.casting then spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime = UnitCastingInfo(unit) else spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime = UnitChannelInfo(unit) end

TO

local spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime rank=0 if self.casting then spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime = UnitCastingInfo(unit) else spell, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime = UnitChannelInfo(unit) end

in CastBarTemplate.lua as suggested from another thread. I'm not entirely sure what that does but it seems to work. If there is a better way to fix this issue feel free to reply.

Is there an 8.0 version in the works? The 7.3.0 version loads in BFA and there are no errors. You can use the editor, but the bars don't show up when casting.
