CursorCastbar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.5b
by: Duugu, humfras

CursorCastBar adds circular cast bar(s) to your mouse cursor.

Cast bar, Global Cooldown Bar, Mirror Bar, Remaining cast time, Spell Name, Spell Icon, and more.

The configuration is done via the Blizzard interface options.


TO DO (in no particular order):

  • Healing Bar - incoming heal/overheal for current cast/target
  • optional focus castbar
  • optional round spell icons
  • modifier/key to temporary hide the bars or set the opacity to very low (eg in critical situations)
  • more bar layout options (start point, end point, etc)
  • text for the mirror bar


Known Bugs:
  • Bug: Mac client crashes with high-res textures. This is known a game bug within the Mac client. It happens with large textures above 512*512 pixels.
    Solution: Don't choose the high-res bar textures. Choose textures 1, 2, or 3. The game shouldn't crash with them.

Dear user


My WoW subscriptions end in may 2011. After more than six years playing WoW and developing addons I absolutely can't find a reason to continue. The direction Blizzard is steering with WoW is more than unfruitful.
The game is dead. It's an empty shell. A sad moment, but that's the way it is.


This means of course all of my addons are discontinued as from now. Thank you very much for using them and for providing me feedback and input. A very special thank you goes to the few people who donated for them. There would be much more and better stuff if more people would act like you. Thank you.


I hereby explicitly reject any attempts to continue, take over or reuse this addon, the addons source code, the contents or parts of it.
If you are willing and able to continue this addon I may grant you the right to do this if you contact me, ask for it, and convince me that you are able to do it in the long run.


I’m looking forward to meet everyone of you again in SWTOR.


All the best to you

Duugu

Not a fan of this one. The layout is difficult to read on-the-fly.

8.0 Seems to have broken CCB entirely, even with humfras' DM help. Sad times

Even without the core rewrite to Ace, just fixing the battleground menu queue button error would be lovely. Trying to hold out as long as possible before switching to boring static bars like Gnosis

Well, it's not dead but it's not rewritten either.

I did the basics years ago and then never had enough time to finish it.

This is what 1.5 jobs and studying does to someone

I'll send you a PM with further details.

I just started working on it again 2 days ago because I was invited to play by some of my friends.
The last years were a bit rough for me and I couldn't spend any time or money on playing.

My old plan was to transfer CCB to Ace and make it more modular.
Which basically means a rewrite.

As soon as I finish building the core, it should be working almost immediately.

I tested quite some 2D and 3D castbar visualizations but I wont implement those from the start.

I'm still around but not playing currently.
Not enough time and money.

CCB was supposed to get a big overhaul and my 90% finished version keeps sitting in my notepad for years now.

Maybe I come back in Summer 2016.

I would also like an explanation of what the "Mirror Bar" is.
Mirror Bar aka Mirror Timer is Blizzards name for the breath / feign death / fatigue castbar.

Hope this helps

I am currently rewriting CCB completely. It uses Ace3 for configuration and is much more advanced and CPU friendly (10-15 times less CPU/sec depending on the chosen options).

The rewritten CCB features a function to round the textures (like in the default UnitFrame portraits).
Using Masque directly would be no solution because it's designed to work with buttons and the CCB spell icons are plain textures. I'll take a look/guess on a specific implementation.

That's because it only unregisters the player castbar. The new version will have a enable/disable option for each of the specified frames.

This is a bug in the config creation. It is struggling with the color table in some rear cases.
CCB should work as intended. If not, check the coloring options of your visible frames (player/target castbar etc.).
