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 using the new API introduced in patch 2.1. *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.
Make sure that the if (caster...) line is similar to this (quotes and all). I remember having to make a change to the lua file when I updated quartz a while back, and I think this is the code segment which fixed it. [/b]
I changed this in the lua and while it did make everyone's buffs and debuffs go away, it also made mine go away. I cannot see anyone's buffs or debuffs now.
Damn, used to love this, but now i see every raid members De-buff on my screen it sucks.
Like others have posted - I use it, not just for the Cast Bars but for monitering my Debuffs on the target like a DoT timer would.
Till this is fixed i now have to get ANOTHER addon to sort it out in the meantime.
Hope someone can fix it soon
I'm having a problem with quartz loading everything. Quartz is fine, no errors, but none of the modules (Quartz_Player, Quartz_Target, etc.) are loading. Which sucks.
if db.targetbuffs then
for i = 1, 32 do
local name, rank, texture, applications, _, duration, expirationTime, caster = UnitBuff('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 then
local t = new()
tmp[#tmp+1] = t
t.name = name
t.texture = texture
t.duration = duration
t.remaining = remaining
t.isbuff = true
t.applications = applications
end
end
end
Make sure that the if (caster...) line is similar to this (quotes and all). I remember having to make a change to the lua file when I updated quartz a while back, and I think this is the code segment which fixed it.
I recently had to wipe out my WTF folder and am now having to reconfigure absolutely everything, including Quartz. For the life of me, I cannot seem to only display MY debuffs (priest) on the enemy target... in a raid there are 50+ debuffs running down my screen. Where do I turn the debuff display off (not totally but so I only see my SWP, VT, VE, DP...)? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I've downloaded an update recently and I'm now having a problem with the Buff module.
I use it to see my debuff's on my target more easily, much like ClassTimers does.
However, after some recent updates, it now shows ALL debuffs from all players on the same target, and I only want to see my own debuffs. How can I fix this?

Originally posted by rustedangel I kinda figured that since there hasn't been any response from the author. So I moved on... found something else that works and is far easier to configure.
Yes im having an problem i cant get the swing bar to show up at all i tryed deleting the saved vearible from wtf and reseting and installing the mod i have the new version and i still cant find it if anyone can help me with this mod it would be great i love this mod.
Originally posted by Selina There has been a change in WoW 3.1 to the UnitAura function. Until the addon is updated by it's author there is nothing you can do to make it show only your debuffs.

Originally posted by slipperydawg Anyone know how to turn off "showing all party or raid members dots or debuffs on the selected target"? Before 3.1 it only showed my dots/debuffs and now i'm getting everyones. I checked the settings and can't find anything. I also tried adding a fresh copy of quartz and still the same issue.
I'd like to know this too, because there are so many debuff's that 1. I can't find mine to keep track of them and 2. it almost completely obstructs my view of the playing field. I don't want to turn it off completely because that's not helpful either.
maybe a screenshot might help:
