ICDBars - a simple Internal Cooldown monitor Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0.3

by: boomboo [More]

ICDBars is a simple Internal Cooldown monitor. ICDs are shown as bars or icons (new), there is no in-game configuration available nor are there any plans to include one.

I wrote this since there were no addons that did exactly what I wanted and some that did also included a slew of other stuff.

In the end it's an extremely lightweight ICD monitor.

What do you need to know:
1. It will track any ICD as long as it's listed in the spells.lua file (more on this below) and the buff that triggers the ICD is actually a buff or debuff (ie. is tracked by UnitAura).
2. It works under the premise that once you gain the buff the cooldowns are triggered and remain even if the buff/debuff was cancelled.
3. There is an option to track ICDs triggered by equipping the item.
4. Configurations are saved by class (not character name).

Configuring:
The addon doesn't save any configuration, it only uses one file which is in the addon directory: spells.lua. Should be extremely easy to figure how to add / remove ICDs.

For example:

Code:

{ spellName = "Surge of Power", item = 50353, icd = 45},

Means that a buff that triggers the ICD is called "Surge of Power" (the DFO trinket), the ICD lasts for 45 seconds and the item id is 50353 (look it up on wowhead). Item id isn't needed generally unless you want the ICD icon to be the item icon and/or want to track ICDs for equipment changes.

Recent Changes 2010.11.28:
Added an option to track ICDs triggered by debuffs eg. Cauterize, spells.lua format didn't change so you're safe not overwriting yours.

Note: some basic structures and the generalized idea came from Filger, which is a great addon and highly recommended.

1.0.3
- TOC bump for 4.3
1.0.2
- TOC bump for 4.2
- Minor optimizations (locals)
1.0.1
- TOC bump for 4.1
1.0.0
- Added an option to specify debuffs as triggers for ICDs
- Minor code reshuffling
0.9.8
- Minor code changes and optimisations
0.9.7
- Refactored a bunch of code
- Added an option to trigger the ICD if the item has been equipped (icd_track_equip_changes = true)
- Moved the barWidth setting from per spell configuration to a global location (same as size, scale and Mode)
- Changed the icd argument to only contain the ICD of the spell, no need to place a duration
0.9.5
- Added new options in the configuration:
- Mode: BAR or ICON; BAR: shows the ICD as a bar (like 0.9.1) and ICON: shows the ICD as a button with a swirly (duration will be shown if OmniCC or a similar addon is used)
- Margin: the margin between the bars/buttons
- Direction: the direction in which bars/buttons are built, can be DOWN (default in 0.9.1), UP, LEFT and RIGHT
- BAR only supports DOWN and UP
- size and scale (changes the size of the element, hight for BAR and hight/width for ICON)
- item is the item ID (can be found in wowhead), if item is specified it's icon will be used instead of the buff icon
0.9.1
- Changed the ICD duration to seconds (no reason for ms.)
- Fixed the texture path, dry coding ftw
- Minor fixes to .toc and the package
0.9.0
- First release

I have two problems which probably have simple solutions: I can't seem to move the bar anchors/position in the .lua? They're current spawning in the middle of, and behind my (tukui) unitframes. obv i could reconfigure my ui to work from icd's anchor but figured there's an easy way to change their position/anchor? And a line to change the font from a folder somewhere would be amazing __________________

(basically like a normal x/y graph) I'll look into adding an option to set the font but it's not a priority at the moment.

Awesome thanks re position, and no worries on the font

At least the basic code is from Filger, so why dont i see anything that implies that your idea/code is from it? __________________ Livestream \| Twitter \| Facebook \| YouTube Last edited by Dajova : 05-19-10 at 06:49 PM.

boomboo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 29 Uploads: 5	Yes, some of the code pieces were taken from Filger. Not sure what you mean about the icons but they are standard spell icons with a random border texture. I'll add a note, however the addon doesn't work the same way as Filger and is different from it which is why I opted in writing a new one rather then modify Filger.

Politig A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 159 File comments: 415 Uploads: 1	Is there a way this addon can show when you gain these buffs as well? Like, when you gain Frostforged Sage an icon will appear, and then show you the ICD when it's up?

boomboo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 29 Uploads: 5	Not at the moment, the way it works though is that the icon/bar is shown as soon as ICD starts and it starts at the same time you gain the buff. The two things are unrelated, for instance you can get Frostforged Sage which triggers the ICD and if you right click the buff the ICD remains. Anyway you'll need to use another addon to track buffs. I'd reccomend Filger for it if you're comfortable with lua addons.

Where can I find a version of Filger compatible with the current WoW? Every one I find seems to be outdated.

haylie A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 417 File comments: 15 Uploads: 1	I get Filger from http://wow.shantalya.de/addons/6-Filger.htm not sure if it's updated but it works just fine. I do have the "Load out of date" box ticked though. Not getting any errors. Anyway, to the addon author, nice job! Been looking for a simple ICD tracker without all the extra bloat. __________________

boomboo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 29 Uploads: 5	Yes the version on Shantalaya's website is outdated, I was actually thinking about releasing an updated version with some changes. The one I'm using needs a bit of cleaning before i can actually do that. Also I'm not certain how to actually do it since the addon was written by Shantalaya and not me. I'll think about it and see what I can do.

Anyway, the problem is that your definition is wrong; for rogues the Taunka proc is actually "Power of the Taunka" and not "Strength" that's why when that buff procs the addon doesn't fire.

Hi,
I would like to use more than one ICDbar, but it will not really work.
I use this code but it only runs the Eclipsebar:

Code:

["DRUID"] = {
	{
		Name = "Eclipse",
		Direction = "UP",
		Mode = "ICON",
		Margin = 4,
		size = 32,
		posx = 0,
		posy = -160,

		--Eclipse (Lunar)/Mondfinsternis
		{ spellName = "Mondfinsternis", icd = 30},
		--Eclipse (Solar)/Sonnenfinsternis
		{ spellName = "Sonnenfinsternis", icd = 30},
	},
	{
		Name = "Trinket",
		Direction = "UP",
		Mode = "ICON",
		Margin = 4,
		size = 32,
		posx = 0,
		posy = 0,

		--Phylactery of the Nameless Lich/Phylakterium des namenlosen Lichs
		{ spellName = "Entzogene Kraft", item = 50365, icd = 100},
	},
},

I'll take a look at enabling that. Last edited by boomboo : 08-02-10 at 03:41 AM.
