CoolLine

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.

Taroven A Cyclonian Forum posts: 49 File comments: 837 Uploads: 11	Thanks for the great CD tracker, totalpackage. I've been using it since one of the first releases here on WoWI. Just wanted to throw out my own layout for anyone needing ideas: (Really old screeny from when I was in the middle of tweaking my oUF layout, which looks a lot cleaner now, but it's still about the same general setup. Why Carbonite was enabled there, I'll probably never remember...) CoolLine is set to fade completely when it's not showing anything, near EventHorizon and my target's status. Works quite well for me, and it all looks and feels great in practice. My only complaint is that my oUF layout still isn't perfect.

Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	I'd love to ditch the enormous Forte_Cooldown in favor of something smaller, but a few things are stopping me from switching to CoolLine at the moment, and I'm wondering if they're things you'd consider implementing/changing: 1) The icons, due to their low opacity, are very difficult to identify at a glance without making the bar really big. Currently the cooldown color's alpha channel doesn't seem to affect anything; could you make this control the icon's opacity? 2) Having the time text overlap the icons also makes them difficult to identify at certain points along the bar. I'd much rather have the icons on top. 3) The maximum displayed duration is fixed at 9 minutes (), with no way to change it. On my hunter, for example, the longest cooldown I care about has a 5-minute duration, so half of the bar is never used. 4) A minor cosmetic issue; the "pulse" effect when a cooldown finishes looks somewhat awkward. Rather than smoothly pulse in and fade out like other addons with similar effects, the pulse-in is rather jumpy (this is especially noticeable when it's happening at the same time as an OmniCC pulse; maybe your OnUpdate is throttled too much?) and then just hangs at the maximum size for a second before disappearing.

1) I already changed the alpha on my local copy (I end up not liking it, too). Removing the dynamic alpha will help CPU performance as well.

2) The icon alpha change mentioned in #1 will probably solve #2 along with font tweaking in the options. I'm sure some will hate the icon covering the time text.

3) The 9m is really 10m since the text is inside the bar, and "10m" takes up too much space. All the main classes I use including some others have 10m cooldowns. It's a compromise. I don't know why the 10m length bothers people so much...the 3m-10m is a small section of the bar and supports many cooldowns. This mod main purpose is to let you know what spells are on cooldown and their ETA, not which spells are about to be ready.

4) The pulse effect issue is probably just lag caused by other cooldown related mods. The icon doubles in size then immediately fades away...no pauses and not throttled at that point. Try running CoolLine by itself to see if it still happens.

I'll release an update later this evening after some testing.

Nope, see alternatives for this feature.

I am new to LUA and not very good at it. I am looking to increase the size of the icon upon cooldown finishing. I would like it to be a bit larger to draw more attention to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 8)

Play with lines 274-276; it's more about math than coding. I'll probably hard code a size increase in the next release (not anytime soon).

I would want to use the Pixelfont I use in the rest of my UI but it has to have size 9 to look sharp, problem is the addon doesnt support that as it goes from 8 to 10 and so forth. Perhaps an easy way to fix this? A line I just have to change in .lua?

I'll add this in the next major release (I don't like to release some unimportant changes), but for you can replace lines 740-742 with this:

Code:

					for i = 5, 12, 1 do
						AddSelect(lvl, i, "fontsize", i)
					end
					for i = 14, 28, 2 do
						AddSelect(lvl, i, "fontsize", i)
					end

Samqqa A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 43 Uploads: 0	Death Knight Hey I just tried your nice addon but came across a little problem. I was wondering that is it possible to filter cooldowns on runes? For example when my blood runes are on cooldown then I see a random icon on 10 sec cooldown. Is there anyway around this since I find it pretty annoying :C I'm using ouf unitframes and ouf_runebar

No way to determine if a spell is on cooldown because it was used, was spell locked, or has shared cooldowns. You can put some spells that have a cooldown and requires Runes into the filter (such as Death Gate), but it would be crap for other spells (ie. Rune Tap).

lastpawn A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	While I love this addon and use it religiously, using it with my DK (newly created) drives me nuts. When the blood runes are on cooldown, the Blood Presence icon runs down. Now, this would be OK (though I'd prefer to leave runes off of CoolLine) except that unholy and frost runes are do NOT appear while on cooldown. I read your earlier comment that you'd be unable to filter runes (what I hoped for), so is it at least possible to make the other runes' cooldowns appear as well? This way there would be consistency. Anyway, thanks for the work you put into this, like I said earlier, it's very useful.

There's really no way around this, and it's too complex to explain. Only spells with a cooldown are scanned (Blood Strike is never scanned since it doesn't have an on-use cooldown, but Rune Tap is since it has a 30 second cooldown). In other words, if it doesn't say in the tooltip that it has a cooldown, it won't show.

No other class trigger cooldowns due to lack of power (mana, energy) like DK's runes. Things get more complicated if you consider death runes.

I haven't seen any cooldown mod that supports this behavior, and I can't imagine it being doable. Only suggestion is to disable it for your DK. I use it for my DK, but I'm paying more attention to my runes and runic power.
