ncCooldown  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4
by: nobgul, Nobgul

ncCooldown is a little addon that modifies the way cooldowns are shown in WoW. Instead of a cooldown spiral(yes, INSTEAD) it shows the cooldown as text. This addon works on everything that has a cooldown spiral, for example actionbuttons and buffs. If the cooldown spiral is owned by an actionbutton it fades the actionbutton out. Inspired by OmniCC.

Upcoming features:
- None
Suggest features!

Usage:
There is no in-game config, all config can be found in the .Lua file. The config looks like this:

lua Code:
  1. -- if set to true buttons will fade when they are on cooldown
  2. local fade = true
  3.  
  4. -- if the cooldown remainder is less than this in seconds the tresholdcolor will be applied and the cooldown will be shown in decimals
  5. local treshold = 6.5
  6.  
  7. -- the color of the cooldowntext in red, green, blue values
  8. local color = {255/255, 255/255, 255/255}
  9.  
  10. -- the color of the cooldowntext when below the treshold in red, green, blue values
  11. local tresholdcolor = {255/255, 0/255, 0/255}

1.4
--
Fixed the issue of cooldowns not clearing.

1.3
--
Added decimal support under the treshold

1.2
--
Fixed a fading issue

1.1 & 1.1a
--
Fixed major bug with the number rendering black and minor variable issue

1.0
--
Initial release
Optional Files (0)

I'm not sure how to put it, but... some abilities that could not be used due to GCD are shown as ready-to-use! I mean, some of them have GCD spiral animation, and some - don't. Which is confusing sometimes. I guess once a button shows your time-left-number, well, it stopped showing GCD spiral.

Is there any way to show the GCD spiral no matter what?

Or is it just me)

Thanks in advance!
I'm pretty unsure what to do with the GCD, should I fade buttons out only, should I display the cooldown(which is pretty overwhelming), other nothing?

Thinking of try this instead of the regular OmniCC, but does it show cooldowns with decimals? Preferably just under a certain threshold?

Something i've been pondering about is how the font is used...
I mean, i wanna use something else than "FRIZQT__.ttf" (even if im using a custom font), but everytime i switch font (for example "MORPHEUS.ttf" or "SKURRI.ttf"), i'm getting spammed with error says that font is not set :S

Make sure your changing line 71:
Code:
text:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.ttf", 0.5*height, "THINOUTLINE")
to (for example):
Code:
text:SetFont("Fonts\\MORPHEUS.ttf", 0.5*height, "THINOUTLINE")

Try using this:
Code:
text:SetFont([[Fonts\MORPHEUS.ttf]], 0.5*height, "THINOUTLINE")

This still happens i'm afraid, atleast during heavy combat. CD and fadeout on Rapid Fire etc still appear after using Readiness. It sometimes clears itself up after a few seconds, but still.

Edit: Clears itself up after using any ability with CD it seems.

Edit 2: nvm, completely random

I don't know if there is any difference between the 2 forms, but if you change:
Code:
local methods = getmetatable(ActionButton1Cooldown).__index
hooksecurefunc(methods, "SetCooldown", startcd)
with
Code:
local methods = getmetatable(_G['ActionButton1Cooldown']).__index
hooksecurefunc(methods, "SetCooldown", startcd)
does it change anything for your hunter?

The problem is that if a player uses readiness, it uses some other function then SetCooldown to hide it, so I'm trying to find that function.

I did an experiment today, dropped an ez-thro dynamite on the ground (the dynamite is accessible from my actionbars); jumped through a teleport from Shatt to Ironforge, and the cooldown timer on the in-bag item-icon got stuck at 21sec, but the cooldown on the actionbar finished the count-down successfully.

Edit: re-did the test with my last dynamite, to my surprise the cooldown "lock" text appeared on my "Mechanical Greench"

I am / was convinced that I also copied the "upgraded" tukui 8.24 to my WoW directory, but I'm testing it again now.

Edit: not sure anymore did 3 portal-jumps from shatt to ironforge and it's working OK .. i'll keep my eyes open and see what i do / if it happens again. (don't be too concerned yet about it, maybe i didn't have enough coffee in my system when i posted this morning)

Tukz implements my new script in T9, not in some T8.xxx.
