CoolLine

CoolLine is a spell/item cooldown mod that displays icons on a single bar/line to give you an idea of when it will be ready. No statusbar timer and no text timer.

CoolLine is inspired by Forte_Cooldown (a module in the ForteXorcist package). CoolLine is basically a stripped down and standalone version written from scratch. The name comes from putting "cooldown" and "timeline" together (yes, lame).

YouTube Intro

How to Use:

Change settings - "/coolline" or check Interface Options -> AddOns
Change position and size - unlock to make it draggable and resizable
Filter/unfilter a spell or item cooldown - "/coolline Spell Item Name Link"
Add more fonts/texture - CoolLine uses LibSharedMedia

External Support:

CoolLine.NewCooldown(name, icon, endtime, isplayer)
- name - unique string id of the cooldown, used as a look-up id
- icon - string icon path used to display image on the bar
- endtime - numerical time when the icon should expire, based on GetTime()
- isplayer - boolean value used to determine if the icon is colored by spell
CoolLine.ClearCooldown(unused, name)

Notes:

Only one spell/item will be shown in an event that multiple spells/items share the same cooldown (whichever appeared first).
By design, icons will often overlap; if you do not like it, this type of cooldown mod is not for you.
If you like the idea of this mod but want more, I highly suggest checking out ForteXorcist or Ellipsis. I'll most likely ignore requests to make CoolLine more similar to them.
CoolLine only does spell/item cooldowns and NOT buff/debuff cooldowns, flight timers, time til enrage, etc; this will NOT change so don't ask.

Recently, I had some requests for donation info, so here it is. Do not feel obligated; donations (or lack of) will not determine what features I do or do not implement.

Nope, look at a similar mod.

You have a PM with more spesific details if you are able to assist.

Warranty voided. Just use a diff program to see what you removed by mistake or start over.

I based my throttling off fractions of expected user's FPS. However, you need to factor in both UI scaling and anti-aliasing, so there's no perfect one-pixel movement. If you're using logarithm in your animation, you're already taking +100 times longer to compute.

daphoosa A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	throttle interval Total, Have you considered being slightly more adaptive in your throttle intervals to reduce wasted position updates? Here's my thinking. The only time you really should update a CD's position is when it has moved at least one pixel on the screen. Updating more often than once per pixel is is of zero benefit to the viewer. Updating less than once per pixel could result in the CD movement appearing to "jump" along the time line and be less smooth than it could be. I believe that this could be implemented with a minimal effort in your version of CoolLine ( I have adapted my logarithmic version of CoolLine to do this as well, but was is slightly more involved to adjust) Looking at your static throttle intervals, this should result in a large reduction in unneeded updates for almost any player except those that have stretched the time line to the max width of their screen. I would add six lines of code after the line where you set the value of 'section' (line 191 in v3.3.003) Code: ... section = (db.vertical and db.h or db.w) / 6 throt_1 = (1 - 0) / section throt_2 = (3 - 1) / section throt_3 = (10 - 3) / section throt_4 = (60 - 10) / section throt_5 = (120 - 60) / section throt_6 = (360 - 120) / section ... In this location, the throt intervals for each section are only recomputed when absolutely needed. These variables are then placed in the corresponding locations in the part of the program that recomputes the CD's location. Starting at line 296 in v3.3.003 Code: for index, frame in pairs(cooldowns) do local remain = frame.endtime - ctime if remain < 3 then if remain > 1 then SetupIcon(frame, section * (remain + 1) * 0.5, throt_2, true, dofl) -- 1 + (remain - 1) / 2 elseif remain > 0.3 then SetupIcon(frame, section * remain, throt_1, true, dofl) elseif remain > 0 then local size = iconsize * (0.5 - remain) * 5 -- iconsize + iconsize * (0.3 - remain) / 0.2 frame:SetWidth(size) frame:SetHeight(size) SetupIcon(frame, section * remain, 0, true, dofl) elseif remain > -1 then SetupIcon(frame, 0, 0, true, dofl) frame:SetAlpha(1 + remain) -- fades else throt = (throt < 0.2 and throt) or 0.2 isactive = true ClearCooldown(frame) end elseif remain < 10 then SetupIcon(frame, section * (remain + 11) * 0.143, throt_3, true, dofl) -- 2 + (remain - 3) / 7 elseif remain < 60 then SetupIcon(frame, section * (remain + 140) * 0.02, throt_4, true, dofl) -- 3 + (remain - 10) / 50 elseif remain < 120 then SetupIcon(frame, section * (remain + 180) * 0.01666, throt_5, true, dofl) -- 4 + (remain - 60) / 60 elseif remain < 360 then SetupIcon(frame, section * (remain + 1080) * 0.004166, throt_6, true, dofl) -- 5 + (remain - 120) / 240 frame:SetAlpha(1) else SetupIcon(frame, 6 * section, throt_6, false, dofl) end end Clearly there's a couple of other little additions needed to make this work, but they're trivial. With your focus on keeping your addon as low of a burden as possible, I thought you might find this useful. ~daphoosa

The reason I even asked was because CL uses SharedMedia. It would complement the custom border settings.

Custom UI scales and stuff makes it really difficult to get a correct looking thin border. All thin borders that I've found leave a gap between the statusbar texture etc.

But I guess I'll just edit the lua again. Thanks anyways.

All the other similar mods use log for their animation, which is about 50-100 times more expensive to compute and very taxing to an animation. Also, linear is beneficial since you can estimate time remaining easier.

At a glance, you get an idea of your general cooldown status without having to look for different abilities on the action bar -some of which may only be visible if you hold down modifier keys, are in combat, or in some specific form/stance. It works for all classes, there's no noticeable slowdowns and it requires minimal setup: A+! Anyway, I tried a change in it that I think worked out nicely. I wanted a smoother icon acceleration. I replaced the position calculation in the SetupIcon calls in the function OnUpdate(), on rows 300, 302, 307, 317, 319, 321 and 323 to: SetupIcon(frame,6sectionlog(remain+1)/log(361), ... An alternative is to use the log10 function, giving more detail at the low end, but I like this. It's fairly close to the original, although I did have to make the background text transparent, because the scale doesn't match close enough. I know this can be done in a cleaner way, and I would love if the programmer looked at it and maybe added it to the next release as an option. If not, this is a quick hack for anyone interested. :-)

I see from earlier comments that you'd previously identified some kind of interference from LunarSphere; do you have any details on what the problem was? I don't even see any comments about the issue on LunarSphere's download page...

CoolLine listens for SPELLS_CHANGED, when it caches spells with a cooldown by scanning the spell's tooltip. It was unknown what LunarSphere did, but the user reported everything working fine once it was disabled. I can't see how another mod can interfere unless it altered a global.

it is clearly showed in this movie so why did it no working anymore ? you even have the ring proc showed

It is clearly stated on the page you linked that the addon shown in the video (which, by the way, is not from the author of CoolLine, so I don't know why you keep referring to "your video" when you're talking to him) is SexyCooldown, not CoolLine.
