Quartz - Modular Casting Bar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.7.8
by: Nymbia, Nevcairiel

Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:

*Player
The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors.
*Target/Focus
Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar.
*Buffs
Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars using the new API introduced in patch 2.1.
*Flight
Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar.
*Global Cooldown
Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again.
*Interrupt
Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it).
*Latency
Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings.
*Mirror
Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars.
*Range
Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast.
*Swing
Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot.
*Timer
Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars.
*Tradeskill Merge
Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.

Any place where there is a tutorial for this mod?

Cause i really like the overall look and feel for what it does, but i can't seem to configure it because its so complex.

And a little suggestion in case it isnt added (or i simply haven't found it) click and drag bars like those on natur enemy castbar for repositioning them, so much easier than working with coordinates

I am having this same problem - what addon are you using to load it?

Making the GCD work better.

This is the list of spell names needed to make the GCD work without configuration. You only need to add a spell when a new class comes out.

Moonfire
Serpent Sting
Fireball
Holy Light
Smite
Sinister Strike
Lightning Bolt
Corruption
Battle Shout

As it is, I need to make a separate Quartz Ace2 profile for each class I play, and since I have 9 alts, that's kinda annoying.

I'm sure other hunters will agree with me when I say: please please please add the latency feature on the swing bar as well.

I really like the looks of this mod, it seems much lighter than natur enemy castbar (necb) that im using atm, but its a bit complex tho.

As an average user with perhaps a bit above average insight to mods (in terms of setting them up and understanding what they are, not in coding) i think it is a bit complex tho.

So far i see settings for moving text and bar separately but i have yet seen where i find the option to actually move the bar. I feel this mod would beneit from a good tooltip addition explaining what each setting does. This is a bit of a shame really cause simplicity and usability should be very high up on the priority list on any mod you use.

I hope this will change soon cause i feel that a good mod is a shame to waste it because its hard to understand the settings in it.

Excellent mod.

Wish list:
* As Valgas said, a little ding just as the cast bar hits the latency zone.
* Option to show a user-defined latency marker on the cast bar. (Because some of us have constant high pings, so even when Quartz says 200ms I know it's at least 400ms, but that's hard to judge without some kind of indicator.)

Quick Query

I am looking at using Quartz now to replace a number of my existing addons, this looks extremely useful for any gaming.

One thing that i would like to know is if it is capable of showing your debuffs on both yourself and your target, for example as my rogue i would like to see the following on my target:

Rupture timer
Deadly Poison timer

and on myself:

any item/enchant procs
Slice and Dice
Find Weakness

i have downloaded the addon now and will be having a detailed look when i get off work but a little prior knowledge would help a lot

thanks very much.

Swing timer

Everything seems to work ok, except that the swing timer seems to get confused when I swap in and out of dual wield on my warrior; it disappears altogether, and doesn't come back till the next pull. Even starting out a fight in dual wield, it sometimes does not appear. Minor thing, good work so far .

I love this! I only have one question.
Is it possible to make the player cast bar grow the other way? (e.g. right-left)

Is there a way you can put a configurable "ding" sound in for DoT expirations? that would be neeto-spameeto. as a lock, i have to watch my DoT times in order to maximize DPS/mana consumption. (i have OCD, shut up)

After much agonizing over my question, I'm starting to think that the show buffs/debuffs feature in Quartz is intended only to show those that I, the player, can cast. Is this correct? This isn't going to show buffs from other players, consumables, procced buffs/debuffs, etc.? I'd want to use a different addon for that...

Correct?

Buffs/Debuffs

Hello.

Love the mod. Thank you so much. Quick question.

This may just be something to do with the way the blizzard api works, I dunno, but is there a reason buffs/debuffs don't appear on targets/focuses unless they're applied while the target/focus is targeted/focused on? What I mean is, if I target someone randomly who, for example, has Arcane Int on himself, while I can see the AI icon under the target frame, Quartz doesn't put an AI buff bar (with timer) in my designated spot. If, however, I then buff the target myself, the Quartz buff bar appears as normal. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?

Thanks again.

--Asc

Make sure you're hitting enter in the text fields, they're a bit sneaky -- the spell name will correct it's capitalization when it takes. After that, it may take a UI reload for it to find and recognize the spell.
