CoolLine  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.002
by: totalpackage, Phanx, Uitat

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.

Recently, I (TotalPackage) had some requests for donation info, so here it is. Do not feel obligated; donations (or lack of) will not determine what features I do or do not implement.

I did this and unbreakable armor did in fact appear finally.

Thank you for your time in this matter.

I cannot respec my test DK due to lack of gold. I suggest just resetting CoolLine's variables by running this:
Code:
/run CoolLineDB, CoolLineCharDB = nil, nil ReloadUI()

It just doesnt work atm.

Can anyone else maybe have a look and see?

This is one of the three main tanking cooldowns, so its not something I can do without, and pretty much means I have to move on from using this really solid mod if I cant get it to work.

I mentioned this on the addon description page. When it comes to timers, the author must draw a line or things can get out of hand. Anything that is timed can be on CoolLine (boss mods, debuff times, raid/party cooldowns, etc), and it would just be a crowded mess.

However, someone can easily make an separate mod that starts a cooldown on CoolLine.

Make sure you undo the CoolLine filtering (/coolline Unbreakable Armor). If still doesn't work, then I have no idea.

I appreciate the quick response to the bug, however it did not fix the issue.

Unbreakable Armor is still not showing.

I know this mod if feature complete, and I know you don't like to add unnecessary features to your addon, especially since you write them for yourself mainly (I believe) and allow us to use your addons. This is something I truly respect and believe in myself.

I don't know if this is even possible, but I was thinking it would bring a clean look if you could show flightpath times on coolline as well. I know you have another addon, InFlight, that shows flight times but it doesn't match the same styling as CoolLine. Maybe it's not even possible, just throwing things out there.

Thanks

I haven't tested it to be sure, but it should be fixed in 3.2.004.

It was low on my to care list, but since I had to fix the bug mentioned above, I went ahead and added the option to save settings per character. No profiles.

missing a cd

I play a dk and coolline will not show unbreakable armor.

I have tried the /coolline Unbreakable Armor command several times to try to reset it. I have reloaded my ui, and i have restarted wow to no avail.

Is this a known issue and is there a workaround? I have no problems with any other cd.

This ability never shows, even when used alone and no other cd's are being used.

Multiple Characters

My priest ui and my rogue ui are vastly different. After moving coolline into a position that works for my rogue I logged into my priest to find that coolline had moved on that character as well. I could not seem to find a profile function. Am I missing something?

See addon description to resize. CoolLine has been feature complete, so what you see is what you get. ForteXorcist may better fit your needs.

It shouldn't be a concern about getting those icons mixed up since they should be rare and easily distinguished. If not, you should probably filter out some of that. Only reason spell has it own color is because pet skills and trinkets sometimes have the same icons as your spells. If you disagree, ForteXorcist may better fit your needs.

You can't. CoolLine main purpose is to show which spells you have on cooldown, not which cooldowns are almost ready. ForteXorcist may better fit your needs.

Cos I want the max to be 5 minutes, so there's not stuff overflowing the outside border... see screenshot, rightside of coolline....

<3 <3 it.

The one thing I'd like to see is the colour option for pet/equipped/bag split, so I can assign different colours to all of those.

Would you mind telling me what to change to increase the height and length of the bar, and scale of the spell?

As a suggestion, Making the spell icon while traveling along the line just slightly larger than the line itself, even if it is only the one pixel border larger. Its just a little annoying having both the line border and the spell border.

Settings are usually lost when your game exits without a proper logout (force close or crash). After configuring, try /reload. That would force variables to save. If that still doesn't work, you may need to delete your CoolLine WTF files.
