To fix this replace in "atrRunes.lua"

Code:

local c = ready and atrRunesDB.readyCharacter or (duration-math.floor(GetTime()-start))

with

Code:

local c = ready and atrRunesDB.readyCharacter or (math.floor(duration)-math.floor(GetTime()-start))

Works for me.

KnThrak A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 90 Uploads: 2	Idea: Use a Monospace font for the default font. If WoW doesn't provide one (not sure), maybe add DejaVu Sans Mono or it's Bold-variant to the addon and us that one? With a monospace font you'd get around the problem when the ex-0 (now just a space) or the counting numbers keep changing the total width of the addon, which makes it "jittery" to look at IMO. __________________ SQUEAK. --(The Death of Rats, Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)

... read the addon description? It plainly credits him for the idea, with a link even; that line has been there since the addon was first posted here. On top of that, ideas posted on public forums are fair game for anyone and everyone to write their own code to realize.

Anyway, Atrophia, please add checks to disable the addon if the current character isn't a death knight. It's rather silly to have the display appear and throw errors about nil values when I log onto a shaman. :P

Top of atrRunes.lua:
if select(2, UnitClass("player")) ~= "DEATHKNIGHT" then return DisableAddOn("atrRunes") end

Top of gui.lua:
if not atrRunes then return end

Jexx A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 10 File comments: 97 Uploads: 0	All this talk about who should or shouldn't get credit is really lame. Heck the Ace forums has a section for "Ideas and Suggestions" and there have been thousands of addon ideas that people have come up with and others have created, yet the author doesn't give out credit, which is perfectly acceptable and commonplace. Anyway, back OT, this addon is definitely nice and it keeps a simple, easy to read display for your rune cooldowns. The only thing that has me thrown off is I've been using ag_unitframes forever, and on the unit frames it shows the Unholy and Frost runes reversed as what your addon shows...so its kind of hard to get used to the change. (DeathUnholyFrost, as opposed to DeathFrostUnholy).

I liked the idea and made a sample addon to see if in practice it was as good as the concept. I shared the addon to add to the discussion and try to get more ideas back as a result, isn't that the purpose of discussion forums and developer outlets such as this?

If you want to make your own addon go ahead I'm not stopping you, but if you think I'm giving you credit for anything other than the concept of colored text to indicate rune cooldowns your sadly mistaken.

You still could give him some credit for the idea. Or have asked considering he was going to make it first.

Also that may or may not be related to hiding default rune frame.

Will be fixed next update.

As I posted in the EJ thread also I agree about the numerics causing the display to be a bit displeasant. Personally testing changing the 10 to a black character, probably allow some of form of customization later.

Currently adding more options as I play with it more, the majority of the addon will probably be to code the GUI, rather ironic.

Hmm, would be strange as I have the talent to gain Death Runes from Blood Strike and Blood Boil and when I use both I do get 2 purple Timers or ** indicators.

If a rune is on cooldown upon dieing, the counter keeps going sub zero in counting. Also the addon isn't correctly picking up death runes (handy that default rune frame was on to notice this).
