MSBTCooldowns  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0d
by: Dorje [More]

Short update. I'm stopping the support for this addon. Parrot has a module like this already in there so there's no sense in my working on the mod


This mod's main purpose is to display spell cooldowns using Mik's Scrolling Battle Text. You have a lot of ways to customize the way messages are displayed:

  • font size
  • font type
  • font outline
  • font color
  • Crit style animation
  • message format
  • warnings
  • chat frame messages
  • all frames configured in MSBT


The very first release was a port from Bonecleaver's SCT Cooldowns. This is a complete rewrite.

As promised, the addon is completely moved to Ace to make it a very lightweight solution. This of course means a lot of great features like FuBar modules, as well as clear chat commands that can also be imported into DeuceCommander, although you do need the main icon for some of the settings.

So here it is, I hope you like it

Right now, the mod will automatically grab all fonts you have loaded into MSBT as well as all the custom frames you might have prepared so you can place cooldown messages whereever you want. Access to these two settings is via tooltip from the FuBar/Minimap icon. The tooltip will also display a list of spells that have their cooldown messages disabled. Clicking on a spell will remove them from the list enabling the messages.

Please note that this is the very first release of this mod in Ace2, so it might have some minor bugs Please be gentle

Todo:
- upload some more screenies (tomorrow, just need to get Gimp).
- if you have any ideas, requests, just let me know.


Changelog:
v1.0d
- Fixed the error showing up with new spells. It works for me, but please let me know if it works for you too.

v1.0c1
- Another lib error. Fixed now and the correct file is now uploaded.

v1.0b
- Fixed the message pattern bug. I really have to slow down Sorry guys.

v1.0a
- Fixed dependencies.

v1.0
- First release after rewrite

Nothing can replace MSBT It just has to be the best out there and no matter what you try, you always come back to it.

And now, with the latest additions in 5.0 - it has everything in it that you could ever possibly need.

So does Parrot replace MSBT or enhance it or replace the cooldowns or what? I'm confuzzled!

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay. I had a lot going on as usual.

Parrot is just another addon. It's somewhere in between SCT and MSBT in terms of looks and tweaking.

You can get it from files.wowace.com

I have a quick question. Well, two quick questions. Who is Parrot and what project is he/she working on?

^^ Well unless I'm mistaken, it would seem it's actually ArkInventory messing up now.

It's probably just a lib conflict thing. If you have a lot of Ace addons, I'd suggest you try deleting the libs from MSBTCooldowns and see if that helps. Another idea is to get the Ace Updater from wowace.com and get the mods using that tool with or without externals (here, make sure you select !!StandAloneLIbraries if you want to get mods without externals).

Let me know if that helps.

Hmm. That's weird. I use it everyday and it works.
No worries

I'll make a package later tonight and upload the file as a temporary solution and try to finish the new version really soon.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay. I've been really slammed recently (as is usual in my case).

I am currently working on expanding MSBTCooldowns a bit. It will take a little while, but I want to add trinket cooldowns to the announcements to make it more useful
It just takes some experimenting, since I did get out of practice.

@Klam - That's weird. MSBTCooldowns is a direct port from SCTCooldowns. I did indeed start adding stuff along the way, but I'll need to check if the memory footprint in case of my addon and SCTCooldowns are indeed that different. Stay tuned :P

@onesiku - Yea >.>... I know there's a bug there. I just didn't have the time to track that stuff down yet. That's also one of the things that should come in the next version. Throttling of the amount of spell cooldowns shown along with a grouping fix.

EDIT: I will be posting an updated version today, but that'll merely be a lib and TOC fix.

Dorje,
Let me first say I love your add-on to MSBT.

I was just curious. Is Groups working properly? For example when I use a trap as a hunter when the cooldown hit all 4 trap types say they are ready. Is this by design (or is it a bug) or am I missing a dependency?

Thanks!

Hello Dorje,

Would it be possible to have the same work like yu did making an ACEd MSBT Cooldown for SCT :P.
SCT_cooldown is memory eater as i know If its not so hard tho to just change yur file to SCT.

I have the latest version, but I cannot change the font!?

Nowhere in the /msbtcooldowns textual menu or the deucecommander does it ever give me an option to alter it.
