CoolLine

Version: 5.2.002

by: totalpackage [More]

CoolLine is a spell/item cooldown mod that displays icons on a single bar/line to give you an idea of when it will be ready. No statusbar timer and no text timer.

CoolLine is inspired by Forte_Cooldown (a module in the ForteXorcist package). CoolLine is basically a stripped down and standalone version written from scratch. The name comes from putting "cooldown" and "timeline" together (yes, lame).

YouTube Intro

How to Use:

Change settings - "/coolline" or check Interface Options -> AddOns
Change position and size - unlock to make it draggable and resizable
Filter/unfilter a spell or item cooldown - "/coolline Spell Item Name Link"
Add more fonts/texture - CoolLine uses LibSharedMedia

External Support:

CoolLine.NewCooldown(name, icon, endtime, isplayer)
- name - unique string id of the cooldown, used as a look-up id
- icon - string icon path used to display image on the bar
- endtime - numerical time when the icon should expire, based on GetTime()
- isplayer - boolean value used to determine if the icon is colored by spell
CoolLine.ClearCooldown(unused, name)

Notes:

Only one spell/item will be shown in an event that multiple spells/items share the same cooldown (whichever appeared first).
By design, icons will often overlap; if you do not like it, this type of cooldown mod is not for you.
What you see is what you get. If you like the idea of this mod but want more, I highly suggest checking out ForteXorcist or Ellipsis. I'll most likely ignore requests to make CoolLine more similar to them.
CoolLine only does spell/item cooldowns and NOT buff/debuff cooldowns, flight timers, time til enrage, etc; this will NOT change so don't ask.

I see from earlier comments that you'd previously identified some kind of interference from LunarSphere; do you have any details on what the problem was? I don't even see any comments about the issue on LunarSphere's download page...

CoolLine listens for SPELLS_CHANGED, when it caches spells with a cooldown by scanning the spell's tooltip. It was unknown what LunarSphere did, but the user reported everything working fine once it was disabled. I can't see how another mod can interfere unless it altered a global.

it is clearly showed in this movie so why did it no working anymore ? you even have the ring proc showed

It is clearly stated on the page you linked that the addon shown in the video (which, by the way, is not from the author of CoolLine, so I don't know why you keep referring to "your video" when you're talking to him) is SexyCooldown, not CoolLine.

See if it happens with no other addons enabled. If it only happens after changing specs, reload after switching.

Unfortunately, the hard part is it doesn't ALWAYS happen with a spec switch. I had this problem earlier today on my shadow priest, who didn't switch spec and the thing failed to show cooldowns.

/coolline -> More -> Save Per Char

I have this problem too, it only just started happening. And no, I'm not using Lunar Sphere either.

I was having the issue happen during raid tonight, but wasn't able to zero in on the cause. Last edited by Hobotime : 04-20-10 at 10:58 PM.*

-ReD- A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	Hello, I've been using coolline (ver 3.3.003) for a while and everything works really good. Recently however, I decided to start another char and to have it use coolline aswell. The problem is that on my alt, I need the line positioned in a different position and when changing the position on my alt, that setting will carry over to my main and vice-versa, forcing me to reposition the line every single time. I could not see a profile option to save the settings for different characters. Is there one that I have somehow missed, or the addon does not support that in his current state?

I did try adding and removing the spells from the filter just in case the filter was an issue, but it still persisted. Last edited by Hobotime : 04-17-10 at 01:28 AM.

Correct, I didn't claim this addon was the cause; I merely pointed out that it contains some obsolete stuff.

Probably just semantics, however, "most recent is always used" is Not True. LibStub simply ensures that an addon will not get a version lower than what it was packaged with - consider the case where the first addon loaded includes an obsolete Library; being the 1st to invoke LibStub::NewLib, that obsolete one is the only possible thing that can be referenced, and the Local reference must use it. Currency is completely irrelevant, and only the very last addon loaded has any chance of getting "the most recent". It is a "thus far" strategy, and our first addon has long ago finished.

LibStub can actually cause issues when an obsolete Lib IS used by the addon that packaged it - you see this largely with people who merely fudge TOCs after an interface version update. If the addon author writes and tests in the presence of other addons (that packaged newer versions), and the luck of load-order means his obsolete Lib isn't used as he develops / tests the addon - he ends up with a false positive that the packaged lib will work, despite the reality of it not being used. Obviously, his assertion falls flat on its face if his is one of the first in the load order, or if his is the only addon using that Lib.

Install something else that includes a newer lib build? Suddenly our friend's addon works, IF the newly installed addon is first in the load order (meaning LibStub references THAT lib). His does NOT work if the new addon is loaded after, leaving LibStub to reference the obsolete one. The author himself, though, has no problems at all - on his machine, his addon is far along the load order, and he doesn't realize that his packaged lib (1) doesn't work, and (2) isn't being used thanks to LibStub.

At best some fun reading over the morning's coffee. But like I said - obviously not a crisis; next build, remember to check versions.

Have a great one!

CallbackHandler-1.0.lua is Feb 2008 (v3), could be/should be Dec 2009 (v5).

Only found it after a friend put this on via Curse yesterday, and WIM consequently exploded lol...
