vlakCooldowns  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.11
by: vlakarados [More]



Description:
vlakCooldowns is a simple cooldown timer addon, which uses a big icon and a small status bar above to keep it clean.


Latest Changes (1.1):
GUI improved to allow full ingame configuration of the addon
Ingame cooldown enabling/disabling
Filter by time (DK rune bug fix)
Cooldown pulse styled notifications
Glowing icons when cooldowns start and when about to end
Raid/Party/Yell/Say notifications when cooldown ends
All of it has a GUI now and every feature added can be switched off if is not needed
LDB (same as slashes /vc, etc.)
Fixed most of the bugs
New class abilities

Please completely restart WoW after updating and see known bugs section. Sorry for this version wiping all your configuration but it was needed.
See Change Log for other changes


Configuration:
All configuration is done by entering /vc or clicking the LDB icon. Then you will see 3 frames you can drag to reposition or right-click to configure the addon. Red - pulse notification (power aura, if you wish), Olive - text notification, Blue - the main cooldowns anchor.
If you want chat notifications OR cooldown pulse notifications you must make sure the global switch is turned on and every spell you want to notify must be turned on too. The global switch is there for example if you want to disable notifications in pvp and enable in pve.

Note that many classes have every cooldown enabled by default, so disable the abilities you don't need via GUI.



To do:

  • Test.
  • Item cooldowns.
  • Bar timer position.
  • Sorting.


Known bugs:
  • Hunter traps don't always show up
  • When updating any value in menu such as enabling/disabling/switching options they do not update until you reopen the menu by right clicking the frame again.


Reporting bugs:
Please report any bugs you find in the comments.


Credits and thanks:
  • This addon was based on KordaCooldown by henrik_s.
  • Guys in the comments section

The addon doesn't correctly register cooldown resets.

Oh, and a way to keep the icon shown after the cooldown ended would also be nice.

What do you mean by cooldown resets? Is it something like an ability that resets the cooldown and allows to use it?

Keeping the icon after the cooldown ended is not something I wanted to do, but who knows

Edit: Found what resets DS in wowwiki -
Code:
Lightsworn Battlegear (Retribution Tier 10) - 2 piece set bonus makes melee attacks have a 40% chance of refreshing the cooldown on Divine Storm.
my pally is only 71 so it will be rather hard to test. High in priority list.

Addon doesn't show icons on my mage and lacks some other icons on other classes.

Wonder what I did wrong.

Hope you can help

I sure hope I can, make sure you didn't position the frame below other addon's frames, by default it's above the bottom center of the screen and a bit to the left.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, this addon really works only for highest ranked spells, I'll try to update it so would show cooldown of any rank.

Was that your problem?

Most likely yes, since my mage is lvl 63 It wasn't framed behind any other addons since my screen is pretty much empty, but I think it's the fact that I'm low lvl that did it.

Untill then I'll wait for it to be fixed

Right now it's not possible for me to do anything than reply here I'll get it fixed soon, but for now you can simply add spells by yourself by using the example in the vlakCooldowns.lua

ok, so I'm finally home and will get it to work with low ranked spells simply by replacing spell ID's with the first rank spells, as they get on cooldown the same time and for the same amount of time as their higher ranks and it doesn't matter if the higher rank was used. if someone could test this, it would be awesome.

also adding racial abilities and a variable to make bar go from green to red and from red to green.

will be up as I will rewrite the abilities.

Awesome work dude Works like a charm so far!

I have a question, if it isn't too much work that is, to make the anchor from the center, so it gives more cymetry in the whole UI.

If it's too hard to do, I understand Still gonna use this now! Thanks a million!

not hard at all
in the next version I will add this as a variable, but for now, you can simply go to line 234:
Code:
anchor:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOM", xpos, ypos)
and change it to
Code:
anchor:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "CENTER", xpos, ypos)
cheers

First to say, this addon is really great.

Sadly, as a deathknight, there are some bugs that need to be solved before I can use it.

First, I wasn't able to get the ghuls Gnaw working.
Second, and that is in fact a real showstopper:
When runes are on cooldown all abilites show up that are not possible without runes and the runes show up as black boxes (see Pic). I looked around a bit and, for example, CoolLine has a special method to show "real" cooldowns. Is it possible to add something like that.
