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 can't get the gcd module to work properly. I'm trying it to use the spell "Find Fish" as its reference with "find Minerals" as backup. When I click on the spells that I'm using as a reference, the gcd bar works, but it fails to work on any other bar. Any ideas?

I have the same issue, the GCD module does not work on offensive or healing spells. changing tracking fish or herbs, and it works normally.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Looking through the Buff.lua file, the only method used to determine what debuffs to display for target is based on this line:

-if (caster=="player" or caster=="pet" or caster=="vehicle") and duration > 0 then

I'm assuming that if I want to remove Mind Flay from being displayed in the debuffs, I would have to add to this line something to this effect:

-if (caster=="player" or caster=="pet" or caster=="vehicle") and duration > 0 and targetDebuff NEQ MindFlay() then

Can anyone point in the right verbiage I would need to make this work?

1. open the file WoW\Interface\AddOns\Quartz_Buff\Buff.lua (Use notepad and hit the "edit" button)

2. Then find following line:

Code:
if db.targetdebuffs then

And then first occourance of the following line (Should be line 272 in build #30000)

Code:
if duration and duration > 0 then

3. and replace it with following:

if (name == 'Misery') then
elseif (name == 'Mind Flay') then
elseif (name == 'Shadow Vulnerability') then
elseif (caster=="player" or caster=="pet" or caster=="vehicle") and duration > 0 then

And you're done =P

This will make quartz only show max 4 dots (VE, VT, SW:P , DP)
Also it will ONLY be your dots quartz shows.

After messing around, I found out what to do.

Just added this to the line:

and duration > 0 and name ~= 'Mind Flay' and name ~= 'Misery' then

So if anyone has debuffs they don't want appearing on either a Focus, Target etc... just add the spell name to that line.

Thanks Dittey for responding, I played around with it until I came up with the following:

if db.targetdebuffs then
for i = 1, 40 do
local name, rank, texture, applications, dispeltype, duration, expirationTime, caster = UnitDebuff('target', i)
local remaining = expirationTime and (expirationTime - GetTime()) or nil
if not name then
break
end
if (caster=="player" or caster=="pet" or caster=="vehicle") and duration > 0 and name ~= 'Mind Flay' and name ~= 'Misery' then
local t = new()
tmp[#tmp+1] = t
t.name = name
t.texture = texture
t.duration = duration
t.remaining = remaining
t.dispeltype = dispeltype
t.applications = applications
end
end
end

I was wondering if there is a way to make the casting bars adopt the color of the school of magic being cast. if this is not a mod that can support this function would anyone point me in the direction of one that could. Plz help i recently decided to rethink my addons and that feature somehow got lost and i have no idea which addon it came from. thanks

anyone know how to display the buffs on a target with the little bars, but set them to only show your buff/debuffs and not the whole party/raid?

I disabled all the bars for Quartz but later wanted to re-enable them but now when I open the Quartz menu it doesn't show any of the bars' options. I only show the Quartz menu (Hide Samwise, Enabled, About) and the submenus for Colors and Profile. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the addon and also have uninstalled and reinstalled it (including cleaning out all Quartz .lua and .bak files. Any idea how to bring the bars back?

Any chance we could get the option to scroll through a long list of textures? I have a large shared media and i can't choose all of my textures they run off the screen :(

AFAIK, reduce the media, removing those you don't use.

I'm using a Death Knight and have the Global Cooldown spells set to Find Minerals and Blood Presence. When I switch Presences the GCD spark works fine but if I use any offensive abilities it doesn't show up at all. It worked fine prior to 3.1 . Any ideas?

Ok guys Im getting this error, mostly only while in combat fighting / casting spells, it pops up in the middle of my screen and all i can hit is "Okay" can anyone help? I believe this error is coming from Quartz due to its the only addon with cooldown stuff related to it, thanks.
"Interface\FrameXML\Cooldown.lua:3: attempt to compare number with nil"

Maybe this has been covered, but I use this mainly as a healer to time when to re-apply my hots to targets, but as all buffs show up on the target its annoying sorting through it all. We used to be able to specfically sort through what buffs/debuffs we wanted to see didn't we?

The auto attack melee swing timer resets everytime you slam. Slam merely delays the swing timer with 0.5s/1.5s(untalented). Is there a fix/change for this, to let it not reset at every slam?
Thanks.

I'm using the r10-release, which might have something to do with it.

I refuse to update it due to this, perhaps you should too.
