About

SexyCooldowns is a logarithmic cooldown bar. What's that, you say? Well, most timer bars you're used to are linear. That is, the distance between 0 seconds and 10 seconds is the same as the distance between 50 seconds and 60 seconds. A logarithmic cooldown bar is somewhat different - it represents cooldowns on a compressed timeline, so that cooldowns that are closer to being ready are represented as more active on the bar. This lets you represent a large amount of data on a single bar, and have it remain useful.

In short, SexyCooldown is a single consolidated timer bar for all your spell, pet's spell, item, and proc cooldowns, as well as buffs, debuffs, and totem timers. It's very flexible, and can be customized to fit into your UI as best you see fit.

Features

Spawn as many bars as you want, and show the specific information you want on each.
Supports spell and talent cooldowns, explicit and internal item cooldowns, buffs on you, debuffs on you, and debuffs on your target or focus.
Very highly configurable look and feel. Build bars that will fit into any UI.
Bars may be oriented horizontally or vertically, and move in either direction.
Extensible - can support virtually any kind of timer. Currently works as a cooldown, buff, and debuff timer, but the possibilities are endless.

Demo

Here you can see that I have set up three separate bars, one for my cooldowns at the bottom, one for short buffs on me (<45 seconds) above my unit frame, and one for my debuffs on my target above the target unit frame.

On my holy priest I have Glyphs of Guardian Spirit which reduces the CD of GS to 1 minute when its not triggered. So when this happens the CD on SexyCooldownbar is not reduced to 1 minute.

I've had a few people report that cooldowns that alter other cooldowns aren't working properly. I hope to have it fixed shortly.

Nice work - thanks.

Still getting pet-spell errors.

Around the end of core.lua you are calling GetSpellName/Cooldown/Link with the bookType parameter set to "BOOKTYPE_PLAYER" and "BOOKTYPE_PET". The bookType parameter should actually be set to "spell" or "pet". (see http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetSpellName )

Changing CacheSpells to :

function mod:CacheSpells() cacheSpellsForBook(spells.PLAYER, "spell" cacheSpellsForBook(spells.PET, "pet") end

fixes it for me.

## X-Curse-Packaged-Version: v0.5.3-5-ga3e06c0

The timeline is not spread accros the bar, all cooldown hug the center of the bar. :(

Edit: found the bug, bar orientation is NOT set by default! just set it to left-2-right and works find now :)

Alpha v0.5.3-3-g9a58102 should have both pet support fixed, as well as profile-switching support in the options menu. :)

I'm a warlock. I think this is the same one Ayst is receiving while attempting to use pet abilities:

Is this for CD's only or is there a way to show multiple bars, one for buffs, one for your debuffs on a target etc.

Also how did you set up the custom bars in the pic's, I don't see an option for stuff like that, or did you use something like KGPanels

Right now, it's CDs only, but I'm going to be adding the ability to spawn additional bars and route other timers to them. You can spawn multiple bars already, but they don't do anything useful :)

The bars are entirely done in the mod's config. If you have SharedMedia installed, then you'll get a bunch of extra textures and fonts to use to customize the bar with.

Firstly, I was drawn to this addon because the idea just seemed so weird. But it makes a tremendous amount of sense. This is such a clever and mostly well-executed idea. Keep up the good work!

I'm getting the same Lua error that Ayst has reported. I have both Darkmoon Faire trinkets (Greatness and Death) and I thought it might have something to do with those effects. I have a Death Knight, by the way, you can armory Vocah @ Barthilas if you want to see what items I might have that are causing the bug.

I love that we can create a black list. That makes it so simple to keep the bar free of clutter.

The one thing that is sort of frustrating at the moment is the fact that I have to manually edit the WTF file to manage profiles. I'm a big fan of using exactly the same settings for all of my characters. A GUI for the AceProfile stuff would be terrific. :)

v0.5.3 barfs on pet spells. Looking at the code I think there's a typo in core.lua - should cacheSpells be:

function mod:CacheSpells()
cacheSpellsForBook(spells.PLAYER, "spell")
cacheSpellsForBook(spells.PET, "pet")
end

You'll find it in Blizzard's interface options -> addon tab. I don't have a slash command set for it right now, though that should probably go in. :)
