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.

Hello, First Thanks for the Addon
But I have a problem with the Swing bar and the GCD Bar, Sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it just stop working, sometimes I log and they don't even start... Would like to know what the issue could be.
Thank you

Nice things added to quartz 3, but one major Flaw ... It simply doesn't Work :(

Just tried it, erased the old Quartz 2.0 (which worked perfectly for one year), configured the buff and debuff bars ... then tried it on a monster. Everything is now messed up :( All my parameters have gone away, the bars are black or invisible, the numbers don't show up, even the default configuration is weird. Deleted Quartz, reinstalled, nothing !

I don't wanna erase all the settings I've made on my UI, so i'll switch to another action bar ! See ya in some updates ! :(

Hi, is there currently a way to change the profile in a macro?
/run Quartz:SetProfile("PvE")
for example does not work

Updated my quartz today and I'm getting this error:

Date: 2010-03-11 02:56:27
ID: 1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\Quartz\Quartz.lua line 20:
Usage: GetLocale(application[, silent]): 'application' - No locales registered for 'Quartz3'
Debug:

...dOns\Bartender4\libs\AceLocale-3.0\AceLocale-3.0.lua:133: GetLocale()
Quartz\Quartz.lua:20: in main chunk

A bit clueless about this--is it conflicting with my Bartender?

No it's not comming from Bartender. The reason you are seeing the error pop up Bartender is because Bartender is the first AddOn you use which uses the AceLocale-3.0 Library.

Quartz is trying to get the translation for the word "Quartz" at line 20 in quartz.lua, however it can't be found.

Go into the Buffs category, select target from the atbs, change "anchor frame" to free.

Any update on re-adding the "accuracy" option to the cast bars? Having it show 1.3 instead of 1.25 seems quite primitive :(

Bug - GCD module is lost when Player module disabled after restart:
How to reproduce:
1. /quartz -> enable player module and GCD module
2. disable player module, cast spell - GCD module still works
3. restart wow
4. GCD module don't work :(

(to make it work again, you need to enable player module, disable and enable GCD module and disable player module, which is pretty annoying)

It sounds like the Player module is required for any other module in Quartz to work correctly. In the description, it says it's the core module.

Just curious, though, when you 'disable' the player module, are you doing a reloadui, or restarting wow? If not, it's not really unloaded anyway until you do, which is why GCD is working.

So, in summary, if it hurts when you shove you hand in your ear, Don't do that!

Hi, first great mod been using it since day 1. However, in the latest version of Quartz it has added little timer bars for arena invite, party invite, resurrection timer etc. none of which I can seem to turn off, which is incredibly irritating. Is it a bug or am I just being blind in the UI? Thanks in advance!

It's difficult to set up this addon with the default Interface Options menu. At least if you are setting up bars near the middle of the screen.

In future versions you should move the options window to a separate window. I'll find a /script command to move it for now.

InFlight was last updated on 1/22/10, would it be feasible to put support back in?

How do you turn off the bar's that show the debuff on targets? I see nothing on the Interface UI for it.
