AzCastBar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 20.10.31
by: Aezay [More]

Description
A highly customizable and lightweight casting bar replacement addon, with support for saved profiles and plugins.

The main release comes with the following plugins:

  • Casting Bars (player, target, focus, pet)
  • Mirror Bars (breath, feign death and fatigue)
The player cast bar supports safe zone indication for both cast and channeled spells. This "zone" represents your latency, when the spellcast has passed this point, you can safely cancel the cast and the spell will still fire.

The option dialog, along with the saved profiles are Load on Demand, which means it will only be loaded and take up memory when you're setting up the plugins.

The slash command for AzCastBar is "/acb". Using it will open the the option dialog.
You can clear all plugin settings and reset them to their defaults by using the slash command "/acb wipeconfig". This does not affect the saved profiles.

Plugin Support
This addon is build up around the possibility to add more bars with different functions, known as plugins.

The plugin package for this addon which you can find on WoWInterface includes the following plugins:
  • Player Auras (buff, debuff, tracking and weapon enchant timers)
  • Target Auras (same as player auras, but for your target by default, works as a dottimer)
  • Cooldown Timers (shows spell and ability cooldowns)
  • Global Cooldown Timer (timer for your global cooldown)
  • Loot Roll Timers (replaces the default loot roll windows)
  • Battleground Timers (various battleground timers)
  • Flight Timer (duration of flight path routes)
  • Swing Timer (melee swing and auto shot timer)
  • Totem Timers (timers for totems)
  • Shaman Timers (weapon imbues, elemental shields and other things)
  • Threat Meter (shows your threat on the target mob)
  • Experience (progress bars for experience and reputation gains)
You can find the official plugin package here:

Lacking Features, Ideas & Problems
- CastBar: When crafting a tradeskill item, and you run out of mats or in other ways fail the craft, the cast bar may hang.
- Auras: I plan on adding a filter to this, so you can filter out any buffs you do not want to clutter up the bars.
- Core: Slash command to load saved profiles. Should initialise the Options LoD part, and load the given profile.
- LootRolls: Add option to size the buttons.
- Options: Shift clicking on a color, or right clicking, should pick the current class color.

- CastBar: Fixed issue where formatting of the bar text during a cast, could in some cases cause errors based on the options "Show Spell Rank" or "Show Spell Target".

AzCastBar Changes | 2010 Oct 14
- Auras: Due to the issue with not being able to cancel auras, as it was made a secure function. I've decided to moved this plugin out of the main download, but it will still be in the plugin package.

AzCastBar Changes | 2010 Jun 27

- If a plugin is not enabled, it will no longer "waste" CPU time applying the settings to bars.

AzCastBar Changes | 2010 Apr 29
- Texture tiling has been fixed for real now.

AzCastBar Changes | 2010 Apr 28
- The texture tiling issue introduced in patch 3.3.3 has now been worked around.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Aug 13
- Changed the TOC version to 30200 for the 3.2 patch.

- Options: The name and time labels now has their own option category and can be configured completely independent of eachother.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 May 17
- Auras: Better showing of who cast the buffs and debuffs, as it could sometimes show wrong info for those cast by out of group people.
- Auras: The option to show pet auras will now also include vehicle auras.
- Auras: Added option to select the label format. Possible options are, name & stack, name only and stack only.
- Core: Changed the table recycler, this will affect some plugins, so they require an update.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Apr 27
- Auras: Buff and Debuff tooltips will now from who you gained it.
- Options: Added an option to reverse the statusbar growth. You can find it under "Appearance".
- Options: A statusbar spark option has been added under "Appearance". Plugins does not have to support this, it will automatically be positioned by the core. Furthermore, until the option for showing a spark is enabled, the texture widget is not even created.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Apr 19
- CastBar: Removed the real time latency option for the safe zone, which was added in the last release. The reason for this is simple, the first cast you do, the time it shows will be good, a real time latency. But when doing back to back chain casting, you actually send the cast request before the previous cast ends, thus showing the supposedly "real time latency" way too high. As there is no good way to avoid this, I've removed the option.
- CastBar: Merged trades should now fade out when completed.
- Auras: Removed some pre 3.1 code for the self auras only filter.
- Options: Corrected a bug that could cause a color option to generate an error when clicked.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Apr 13
- Changed the TOC version to 30100 for the 3.1 patch.
- CastBar: Fixed a rare bug, which gave a Lua error on line 181, that could happen under unknown circumstances.
- CastBar: Now has an option to show the real time latency for the safe zone, instead of the average one returned by GetNetStats().
- CastBar: A new option to show the target of the cast has been added. Only works for the player castbar.
- Auras: Removed some global pollution.
- Auras: Added option to show auras with no duration as a full bar.
- Auras: New option to select how long a buff duration you want to determine short/long buffs from, this time will determine when the bar will be colored using the "Buff Timeout Color". You can set it to zero to disable the timeout coloring.
- Auras: Updated the "LibWeaponEnchant" library. This should fix enchants reseting the total time and sometimes showing as "??" with "0.0" time after login or zoning.
- Options: Will now add some sound files to sharedmedia. Only relevant for plugins which has an sound file option.
- Options: You can now change the offset of the text labels on the bar, that is the name and time label.
- Options: The label color for the name and time, can now be configured individually.
- Options: Redesigned the way the label alignment works, so the option "Swap Name & Time Labels" has been removed. You now configure the alignment for both the name and time label.
- Core: Moved more of the plugin code into the core, specifically the parts that will apply bar settings and add new bars to the mainbar's bars table. Please update plugins to avoid any errors.
- Core: Most plugins now uses the "SetFormattedText()" function to set the time through the new "plugin:SetTimeText()" plugin function. Doing this does not generate a massive amount of Lua garbage strings.
- Core: Every plugin's main bar now has a default OnEvent script from creation which will call "plugin[event]" if it exists.
- Core: The OnConfigChanged function is now only called once per plugin, not once per bar.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Apr 01
- CastBar: Hopefully fixed an issue where the castbar could "hang" if you tried crafting more than one item which had a cooldown, such as "Northrend Alchemy Research".
- Auras: Improved the performance some by removing the OnUpdate handler from aura bars which had no duration. And those bars which does have a duration, has been limited to 60 updates per second.
- Auras: The option to color the background to match the aura color, has been replaced with a color alpha slider. Setting this to anything above zero, will color the background with the same color as the aura.
- Auras: Added support for the 3.1 code which allows to track who casts auras. This means the option to track only your own auras, wont break on patch day.
- Auras: New future option to also track the auras your pet applies. Will not work until the 3.1 patch.
- Auras: An option to only show the buffs which can be spell stolen has been added.
- Auras: Weapon Enchant Timers should now update properly. Also, the total time of weapon enchants are now shown.
- Auras: Now uses the "LibWeaponEnchant" library to update the weapon enchant data. This means less overhead, especially if used together with the Shaman timer plugin.
- Mirror: This plugin has been rewritten. It will have no effect on its functionality, but it should have a better performance, not that the old one had bad performance though.
- Mirror: The rewrite should also have fixed an issue, where the mirror timers wouldn't all show, if there were more than one timer when logging in.
- Options: The "Copy Settings" option has been moved to the General category.
- Options: A layout template option has been added, this will allow you to quickly set the appearance through a preset. Currently only two exists "Default" and "Auras", but I plan on adding more. If you have a nice setup, please post it and I will include it.
- Core: Added a table recycler library, and made most multibar plugins use it. This means that plugins that update their timers often, such as the Aura plugin, wont increase so extreemly fast in memory usage and invoke the garbage collector.
- Core: Removed the "shared" tooltip that was previously being used to scan for temporary weapon enchants.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Mar 26
- Auras: Added options to hide the default aura, enchant and tracking frame (hotfixed).
- The "PlayerAuras" and "TargetAuras", previously part of the AzCastBar plugin package, has now been renamed to simply "Auras" and included in the main release. It will add two bars, "PlayerAuras" and "TargetAuras", but they will be disabled by default. But do try them out, AzCastBar can be more than just a cast bar.
- CastBar: If a merged trade cast failed, it would not hide the cast, but instead just continue the animation as if you were still crafting. This is now fixed.
- CastBar: Will no longer try and use the player cast bar for possessed pets if your player cast bar is disabled.
- Mirror: When disabled, the default mirror bars will be re-enabled. Also optimised the code some.
- Auras: Rewrote the aura sorting function to be better. It now also allows for an easy way to change the aura type priority, but it requires Lua editing.
- Auras: Added an option to use the default debuff colors instead of the configured one.
- Auras: Optimised the updating of auras. Before all aura types was updated if just one type changed, now it will only update the type changed.
- Auras: Simple multibar support added. I intend to add an ingame option for this later, but for now you can add more bars, by editing the Lua file. Go to the very bottom and add a new "SpawnAuraPlugin" line, just change the name into something unique. This is nice if you want to have your debuffs in another place than buffs for example.
- Auras: Added an option to only show the auras that you caused.
- Options: Each plugin now has a new options category, which allows you to copy the bar settings from another plugin, this should save a lot of time when setting up bars.
- Options: Added a new "Appearance" option, "Use Bar Texture as Background Texture". Enabling this will instead of a complete plain white texture, use the texture set for the bar.
- Core: When a bar is configured with it's name label align to center, it will now properly show at the center, and not have it's room taken up by the timer label.
- Core: Added a helper function that determines the best anchor spot for a tooltip, so you should no longer see any tips blocking the timer bars.
- Core: Each plugin sub bar now has a reference to their config table, not just the main bar.
- Core: New helper function "AzCastBar.CreateMainBar" which will fill in the token, options and subbar table, and itself to the "AzCastBar.frames" table. Used instead of "AzCastBar.CreateBar" for mainbars.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Mar 22
- Options: Removed some SharedMedia debug code.
- Options: The minimum value for fadeout time can now be set to zero.
- Options: Now uses my shared libraries for options factory and dropdown menus. Makes things a little easier to update and to add new options.
- Core: No longer initialises all default variables for unset values on load, but instead uses a metatable.
- CastBar: Disabling the pet casting bar should now properly re-enable the default UI pet casting bar.
- CastBar: Should hopefully not conflict with certain other addons and now properly hide the blizzard casting bars when enabled.
- CastBar: Removed the code that made the target castbar not show if it was player, and focus not show if it was target. This seemed to confuse a lot, and removing it only means less code.
- CastBar: There is now an option to merge trade skills. What this does it to show you the total time when you craft more than one item.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Mar 08
- The CastBar and Mirror plugin has been moved out of the core part of AzCastBar, but will remain included in the main download. But doing this allows people to easily disable these two plugins if they have no need for them.
- Core: Changed some of the core functions, an update of all plugins is required.
- Core: Each bar frame will now have a global name, the format is "AzCastBarPlugin<TOKEN>", where token is the specific name of that frame, e.g. "Player". This was a request to allow panels to be anchored to AzCastBar frames.
- Core: It is now possible for a plugin to add additional options. Because of this, some options has been removed under the options and moved directly into the plugins themselves.
- Core: A slash command has been added to wipe all plugin settings, use "/acb wipeconfig" to do it. Note that this does not affect profiles.
- CastBar: The Safezone indicator now shows for channeled casts as well.
- CastBar: Will now show the bind location for "Astral Recall" just like it already does for Hearthstone. These should now also work for non english clients as well.
- CastBar: The "Enable Bar Plugin" option in will now re-enable the default blizzard casting bar if disabled.
- Options: A new option has been added to change the frame strata of the bar frames, you will find it under "Position" in the option dialog.
- Options: You can now change the offset of the icon to the status bar, look for the option under the "Anchors" category.
- Options: Removed the option "Show Bar Icon" and replaced it with an "Icon Anchor" option, which can be set to either "Left", "Right", or "None".
- Options: Fixed a problem where the "Left Offset" was not updated when moving the bar manually in edit mode.
- Options: By suggestion, I've added a new option to hide the borders around spell icons. This is on by default, so you'll have to go and disable it if you want the old look back, but I think most will prefer the change.
- Options: The position of the option window will no longer be reset when you load a saved profile.
- Many small optimizations and code improvements.

AzCastBar Changes | 2009 Jan 10
- New anchor settings added for multi bar pluging. You can modify in which direction the bars will grow, top, bottom, left or right. An anchor offset can also be set. You should update to the newest plugins to support this.
- Removed some obsolete "OnEditMode" code from the castbar and mirror plugins as well as the options.

AzCastBar Changes | 2008 Dec 22
- The bars are no longer created as top level frames, meaning they should no longer be "popping" on top of other frames when shown.
- Bars showing the total time will now show two decimals instead of just one, for better precision with haste ratings.
- CastBar: Pets you are in possession of, will now show their cast bar using the player cast bar instead of the pet bar. Really nice for all the new WotLK quests.
- Mirror: Corrected an error that could occur if you had a mirror bar showing, when turning on "Edit Mode".
- Mirror: Now supports the option "Also Show Total Time".
- Options: Fixed a problem where the option dialog went blank for options, at least I hope so, it's been somewhat hard for me to reproduce, so please let me know if it's still a problem.
- Options: Changed how "Edit Mode" works. It's now a lot more clean, since it uses its own bars, instead of modifying the bar of each plugin.
- All functions which were previously global, those named "AzCastBar_***", has now been moved into a table named "AzCastBar" to lower the global namespace pollution. This change will require all plugins to be updated.

AzCastBar Changes | 2008 Oct 22
- Fixed a cast bar problem, where it would say interrupted and hide itself when casting a spell, if you tried to cast another spell.
- Added an option to show the total duration of the cast.

AzCastBar Changes | 2008 Oct 18
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- Options: Switched to using "LibSharedMedia-3.0". The library itself is still not included, so get it elsewhere.
- Options: Updated the parameters for the scrollbars to make them work for the 3.0 patch.

AzCastBar Changes | 2008 Mar 21
- Default setting for the "SafeZone Indication" is now false due to the fact that this feature isn't so much needed anymore.
- Added an option to hide the text label on the bar as well as the text indicating the time.
- New option to set the text alignment of the Bar Label.
- The drop down menus in the options now have a scrollbar. If you have a lot of shared media items, they should no longer drop off the screen.

AzCastBar Changes | 2008 Jan 30
- Code and plugin framework improved and optimized.
- The Options received a big optimization as well.
- The profile loader under the options will now only load settings for bar plugins which is currently loaded.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Dec 28
- Included "FlightTimes" and "BGTimers" as added plugins for AzCastBar, if you do not wish to use these, do not copy them to your AddOn folder.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Nov 22
- Fixed an error in the options dialog if you did not have SharedMediaLib installed.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Nov 21
- Changed the TOC version to 20300 for the 2.3 patch.
- Added pet casting bar.
- Options: Added support for SharedMediaLib to make more textures available. The library is not included with AzCastBar, but it will use it if installed.
- Options: You now select which cast bar to configure in the window on the left side instead of buttons.
- Options: You can now use the mousewheel to increase and decrease slider values.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Aug 21
- Fixed a problem which would hide the castbar, if you tried to cast something new while the GCD from a channeled spell was still up (e.g. spamming the mind flay button).
- Options: Added "Enable Bar" option.
- A problem causing the cast to go out of sync, when the cast bars gets hidden by calling up the map or hiding the UI with Alt+Z, has been fixed.
- Fixed an error when clicking on a cast bar when the options had not yet been loaded.
- When moving the bars with the mouse in "Edit Mode", the option frame for the current bar will now be updated accordingly.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Aug 16
- Options: Added slider for the castbar backdrop indent.
- Fixed an issue that made the castbars appear "laggy" the longer your computer uptime was. The cause of this was due to LUA cutting off decimals on large numbers.
- Made the option dialog Load on Demand.
- Did a lot of restructuring of the entire mod.
- Added profiles which you can load, save and delete manually. These settings are stored with the Load on Demand Option Dialog, so the saved entries will not take up memory until the Options is loaded.
- Recoded a lot of how the settings are stored, this means your old config is lost, sorry.
- The Texture drop down should now show the correct selected texture.

AzCastBar Changes | 2007 Jul 19
- Updated TOC to 20200 for the 2.2.0 patch.
- Option for frame alpha added, this is how transparent the frame is. Default is 100.

- There is now an option to for the Safe Zone Area (Player Bar only).
- Included a few Textures which you can switch to from the options.
- Added option for Fade Out Time.

Thanks for the reply, Aezay! I appreciate you keeping your eyes on your addons even if you are no longer actively developing them. I am using OmniCC, which includes LibSharedMedia-3.0. Via MyMedia/SharedMedia, OmniCC's font choices now includes my custom font. Another addon I use is Cellular - it has LibSharedMedia-3.0 and uses my own font.

Why is it that AzCastBar does not notice the existing libraries and use them? I would not mind to modify my own copy of ACB if you were up to explaining what I'd need to change. I can live without a custom font but I would be thrilled to have that ability.

I thought that perhaps ACB was looking for an older version of LibSharedMedia and therefore ignored the 3.0 versions I already had.

You are probably right, but I never really played a caster, so I never truly experimented with how things work. I have no access to WoW, so I cannot easily change this anymore.

i've been researching this topic for a bit, and i'm not sure why you're saying the safe zone isn't needed anymore. you still have to compensate for latency when initiating the next cast, it's just that a /stopcasting macro isn't needed anymore. also, a safe zone appears to be necessary for channeled spells in order to 1) maximize spell ticks and 2) minimize down time between casts.

SharedMediaLib

I have been trying to get ACB to utilize MyMedia, as I have wanted to utilize my own fonts.

MyMedia says that it will share the media I specify with SharedMedia. SharedMedia then shares it with SharedMediaLib and similar libraries. So this sounds straight-forward.

I have tried installing SharedMediaLib into several different locations in order to see if ACB will see it and use it, but I have had no luck. I also see that in the .toc file, SharedMediaLib is not listed as an optional dependency.

I thought I'd ask here first - is it possible for ACB to use MyMedia? If so, how?

question about this, why does quartz include a latency for channeled casts then?

if it's not necessary, then i guess it's a question of game mechanics that i don't have a firm grasp on.

is the "correct" way to do channeled casts to do something like

/cast [nochannelingrain Life] Drain Life

i'm getting this from wowwiki as a way to ensure you can spam the spell near the end of its channeling and not have any downtime between casts.

sorry about this being beyond the scope of your addon.

Safe zone is the same thing, and it's been somewhat redundant for some time now, ever since they changed the casting with high latency, but it can still be useful, and that is why I never removed it. There is no safe zone for channeled casts.

any chance of having a latency meter like quartz incorporated into your addon? will wotlk make the latency meter redundant?

edit: is your "safe zone" the same thing? is it dynamic based on your current lag?

also, when casting Drain Life, i don't get a safe zone.

That has nothing to do with this addon, the names are return values from the WoW API.

nostress
Currently, no.

Hmm, not sure I understand entirely what you mean with the config being broken in the beta. In what way is it broken, can you elaborate on it.

Master/Apprentice

Seems like the castbar incorrectly states Herb Gathering - (Apprentice) when the character is a Master. Can this be fixed please?

Is there any way to reverse the bar? What i mean is making it fill from right to left.

Just wanted to let you know that basic functionality for Wrath Beta is a-OK. Config broken though (the workaround with pre-config on live realms works only with LUA editing though, as your add-on dosen't load a default profile )

Well, since there is little use for a caster to actually swing his or her weapon, I disabled the loading for this plugin when the class is either mage, warlock or priest, as you can see by the code below. As for wands, I don't even think this plugin works for that, and even if it did, it would be wrong just like the timer for ranged weapons. If you want to enable this plugin for all classes, just remove the do ... end code at the start of the lua file for this plugin.

Code:
if (class == "MAGE" or class == "WARLOCK" or class == "PRIEST") then
	return;
end

for some reason, the swing timer doesn't seem to be available if I'm playing a caster character. It works if I log in with my paladin, but if I log in my warlock - no swing timer.

When you look at the options pane, the swing module isn't available on the list on the left hand side. If I log in my paladin, boom! it's back again.

This is all without changing the check marks in the globabl addon list when I'm at the character pane.

How can I get the Swing Timer to work with a caster. I want it show swing of melee weapons as well as (hopefully) autoshot or shoot (like with a wand.)

Thanks in advance!
