CoolFloat
CoolFloat is for people who like the stock Floating Combat Text included with WoW, but would like to be advised when their spells and items are off cooldown and ready to be used.

CoolFloat currently places function, low resources and ease of authorship above versatile GUIs. See the comments for known issues and fixes. In particular, several fine-tuning settings have no UI for editing yet. A read-me file is included with guidelines on finding and editing these settings.

CoolFloat also includes a more efficient reimplementation of the Blizzard Floating Combat Text. It should be consistent with the existing code except for CPU time, but you can disable it by removing the Blizzard_CombatText files from the CoolFloat folder.
  Change Log - CoolFloat
* 1.1b: Resolved 'Attempt to call global "GetFrameRate" (a nil value)' bug
* 1.1: Attempted to remove bug whereby CoolFloat would occasionally stop working until reload.
  Optional Files - CoolFloat

Hmm, I've been using a version without this error for months, but apparently I fixed it after the upload. As soon as the new upload is approved this should be fixed.

Yes, because everything else keeps appearing in the floating combat text fine (and it doesn't actually sue the combat log per se). I've identified how it happens, if not the actual reason, and the current version should be resistant or immune to it.

Are you sure it's not just the game's bug where Combat Log stops responding completely? That eliminates all the buffs/debuffs/spells/stuff to be seen.

I've released an update that I hope will fix the issue where it stops working. Since it stopped fairly randomly I can't be 100% sure, but I think it should be better.

As far as the color, it is possible. A readme file is included with the add-on that should explain how to go about it.

Ahh, that explains it. Appreciate the reply and any further work on the addon

However, its usage does appear somewhat high and I'm looking into releasing an update that should cut down on usage substantially.

This addon seems to have very, very high CPU usage for what it does. Even some of the big graphical cooldown alerts like Ghost Pulse 3 or Doom Cooldown Pulse use much less and have more functionality. Maybe it's a side-effect of its age.

It's a shame though, it's exactly what I wanted

Then the command you quoted to me should be the correct one:
/run CoolFloat_locale.enUS.ready = "%s"

No no I'm sorry..I guess I didn't explain that well

So the standard format is:

<Death Coil> Ready

Am I right?

I want it to only say:

Death Coil

No <> nor the word Ready..just the spell name..nothing else :-)

This setting is saved, so it should remain that way even after you upgrade the addon (if I release any upgrades).

Just a downward scrolling Spell Name is all I'm after..without all the fat of SCT..Mik..Parrot..etc.
