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.

Until the author fixes it:

Open the file Auras.lua

replace self:RegisterBucketEvent("UNIT_AURA", 0.1, "UNIT_AURA")
with self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA", "Refresh")

and it will work.

I'm experiencing the same issue that fhaddad922 is. In order for my buffs to be tracked, I need to uncheck and check the "show all buffs" box. For example, I just refreshed Blessing of Might at 55 seconds, and the countdown continued even though I refreshed for 10 more minutes of the buff.

Hi.

First, I love your addon!

I noticed however, and SexyCooldown is the only addon i'm running that when I make a bar to track buffs (e.g. slice n dice), it only shows up when the buff is active and I check either show my buffs, or show all buffs. But the buff bar is not updating unless I uncheck and recheck the box while the buff is active.

Anyhow, I noticed in the file Auras.lua:

self:RegisterBucketEvent("UNIT_AURA", 0.1, "UNIT_AURA")

For some reason that event isn't registering or isn't triggering.

I changed it to:

self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA", "Refresh")

and now its working properly.

Odd. I'll investigate why this might be.

The reason I haven't done this is because under the hood, SexyCooldown doesn't use just names for the blacklist - a blacklist ID looks something like "focus:buff:Divine Aegis:Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_DevineAegis" rather than just "Divine Aegis", and that's not terribly easy for the end user. Manual input is on the "want" list, but it's not as simple as I'd like.

Agreed.
I would like to be able to set the trasparency of a bar when i'm in and out of combat not only when all the cooldowns are off.

By the way, great addon :)

Excuse my stupidity if I've missed how to do this. But is there a way of making a bar fade out once you leave combat. Even if an ability is still cooling down?

The way I have it at the moment, It will fade out, But only once all abilities I have are off cooldown

Its useless for me then, I need to track ALL the cooldowns that I cast with my spellpower macro, and not just one.

This is also applicable to interrupted spells.

I have no clue how the addon in general works, but I use a similar macro chaining AP, IV, and Arcane Blast together, and I spam it when I'm going into a burn phase. The thing is, if I carefully press it once, I only see AP, but if I spam it after, IV makes it to the cooldown list somehow. I'm not positive if this is how to reproduce it, but I can make it work for me in raids just fine.

Interesting addon, but it sadly seems to have problems with handling multiple cooldowns from a single macro.

When using:
#showtooltip
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Arcane Power
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

It will only show Arcane Power and Talisman of Resurgence on the bar. but if i immediately do a reloadui, then Icy Veins and Mirror Image also appears.

Also if two cooldown icons are close to each other, they will constantly blink over each other. Make the one with lower CD remaining be dominant and always overlay.

It only showing one cooldown per cast is intentional. Otherwise, you end up with issues where all linked abilities would show on cooldown - for example, on a DK, if you were to use both your Unholy runes, then all of your abilities that use Unholy runes would go on cooldown, due to how Blizzard handles runic cooldowns. The intent of the feature is to show the spell you cast, rather than all spells that your spellcast affected.

The blinking back and forth is intentional - people have many different setups and styles of bars, and in many cases, the addons not blinking back and forth results in a relatively unusable display. However, you can modify the speed at which they blink by setting the "Pulse Speed" under the Icon options.

I seem to be having a problem with accidentally blacklisting spells when I click the frame. I have Disable Mouse and Lock checked off and sometimes I see tooltips on icons and sometimes I do not. Of course, when I accidentally click, it sometimes blacklists them.

For those of you looking to update your ICDs, check out the latest update of LibInternalCooldown-1.0 (http://www.wowace.com/addons/libinternalcooldowns-1-0/), which you unzip into the Libs folder in SexyCooldowns.

I'm changing the behavior of SCD so that right-clicking cancels an aura (if it's an aura), and mod-clicking (shift/alt/ctrl) blacklists an item. That should be more usable!

Does Black Magic have an ICD? Weapon enchants usually don't - Berserking, Crusader, and Mongoose, for example, don't have any cooldown. They are only limited with a PPM, rather than an ICD.

If there is an ICD on the enchant, I can see about adding it to LibInternalCooldowns.

I just found this and am loving it. The only problem I have is that it doesn't seem to track the ICD of the Black Magic enchant. Is there any way this can be updated or I can add it in manually? Thanks.
