Bad news, everyone: I quit WoW, my account expires on August 11th, and unfortunately Taroven quit too. Unless someone takes over, this addon is officially abandoned. So tick that "Load out of date AddOns" check box and hope for the best!
I just wanted to say thanks for using my AddOns and for all the support, feedback, bug reports, and kind words. Very much appreciated. Bye!
Description
Displays timer bars for you most important abilities' target debuffs (including DoT ticks), cooldowns, and player buffs. All bars share a common time scale to make it easier to plan the next casts in your rotation.
Currently supported classes are Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin (Retribution), Priest (Shadow), Rogue, Shaman (Elemental) and Warlock.
Dezzimal was kind enough to put a video on youtube, demonstrating and explaining the addon. Edit: I just found another video showing the AddOn on a Destru Warlock.
Here's what it looks like in action on a Shadow Priest (at 1 FPS ):
The big white line is the current time. Future events are on the right side, past events on the left. So as time goes by, the events scroll from right to left.
The green bars are your cast bars. They use exactly the same times that your normal cast bar would display, with all haste modifiers applied.
You can also see cooldowns, DoTs, and their ticks (predicted in the future, and from the combat log in the past).
The white lines that appear before the cast times are the times when you press the button (send the cast message to the server). The difference between this line and the start of the cast is your lag.
Settings
There's no options GUI, and there won't be.
You can move the frame around by dragging this little handle in the upper right corner.
You can toggle the main frame with /eventhorizon or /ehz.
If you want to change anything else, you have to edit the config.lua files. You can open these files in any text editor, for example notepad.
We try to keep these files clean and well-documented. (Comments start with "--".) If an option is not as clear as it should be, please let us know.
Let's say you've changed some settings. When a new version comes out, you'd have to manually merge the config.lua file. To prevent this, you can create a file named EventHorizon/myconfig.lua. If present, this file will be read after config.lua, thus overwriting the settings in config.lua. Here's my myconfig.lua:
local config = EventHorizon.config -- <-always keep this as the first line config.bgcolor = {0,0,0,0.3} config.bordercolor = {0,0,0,0.3} config.gcdColor = {.5,.5,.5,.3} config.future = 15 config.width = 150*(15+3)/(9+3) config.iconborder = nil

Invaluable addon - just wanted to say thank you much for great addon all around. I play an Aff lock and this is the only mod I use to track my dots. And because it's lua, just makes it even better.

I must say this addon is realy great. I like it a lot.
I am nub in coding addons, but isnt there a posibility to solve travel time of of haunt and shadow bolt with checking the shadow embrace debuff on the target. If that is possible then u can paste the debuff bar in event horizon windoow and just make the end of its duration in red colour(that red colour would indicate cast time+travel time). Also it would be nice if player could set his travel time for himself, depending on how far he usualy stands. That reducing bar to just a sliver is realy nice thing to show u when u have to start casting next spell to chain it. Is there an option in config lua to get full red bar instead of sliver at the end of bar? Anyway grats again for making a realy good addon and i hope u will develop it further.

Hiding out of combat
It would be nice if we could hide when mounted and/or out of combat (no need to see it when you're in mounted combat such as Maly 3rd phase or FL.)

Re: Hiding out of combat
I'll add in a mounted check for it sometime in the near future. |

A cool feature would be if the bar or the icon did some kind of pulse/flash effect, or just something when the time runs out on a timer (or a pre-defined time, maybe: time_left - (cast_time + ping) == 0). I realize there are other addons for this exact use though.

I'm not entirely sure if I want to take that one on or not, but we'll see after I take a look at how it would work. |

Hi,
First of all, I would like to say what an awesome AddOn this is! There are a few minor tweaks that could be implemented, which I will go onto now.
Just a few things. I've looked at trying to implement them myself, but my coding abilities are dreadful. Obviously, you are the Autor and it's up to you. Just take this post as feedback! EDIT: Just seen the Lines Plug-In, and that a kind of DoT timer is being implemented. EDIT2: Just realised the DoT ticks are shown! Making this post pretty useless :P Thanks for reading , Kieran

Possible to add Demoralizing Roar to Druid? Doesn't matter if it hits or not, got other addons for that(mostly need this for algalon when I am not actively tanking but I am taunting the shinies to black holes instead. Also, I'd like to hide this addon when I'm not in combat.

Code:
--Demo Roar / Demo Shout / CoW self:NewSpell({ spellID = 99, debuff = {99,1160,50511}, --Demo Shout, Demo Roar (Druid), CoW (Warlock) unique = true, stance = 1, }) EventHorizon Redshift for hiding the frame unless in combat or you have a hostile targeted. |

Speaking of Redshift, it's been updated. There's now a visibility check on login/reloadui, meaning no more grace period where you can see/move the frame.
If anyone dislikes the new behavior, just keep using 0.2a. As of August 5th, my WoW account will be rendered inactive and I will no longer be able to provide the same level of help here that I've been able to. Hopefully Tifi has good things in store for 3.2 and beyond, I would hate to see EventHorizon abandoned. |

I have had EventHorizon in my favorites for long time, but didn't install it until about a week ago. I felt that this addon is somewhat "hip" and that it won't actually prove that much useful in a raid situation. I've been using Quartz to track my dots on target for long time, but then I've switched to different user frames addon, which highlights my debuffs on targets and shows the timers, so I've disabled Qurtz debuff timers. Unfortunately, it's not very useful when you have to move a lot during the encounter, change targets and check the little icons with timers near the target frame. So I've installed ForteXorcist, which looks nice and provides a really useful cooldown bar (which I found more useful outside of raids though), but it takes a lot of space on the screen and has amount of options Auctioneer does. That sort of "suite" addon is not my cup of tea, as I prefer small addons with as little functionality as possible, but doing the things I want them to do when you install them.
So I've decided to give EventHorizon a chance and it impressed me. It has built in timers for the spells I use in the encounters and makes managing dots and cooldowns much easier, as you can actually see when several dots will expire at the same time, so you can plan when you will reapply them and in which order. I don't need to blacklist spells I don't want to track as a shadow priest, because EventHorizon tracks only those that actually make sense, not some random stuff. Also I don't need to track my dots on all targets at once, but only on my current target and I really like the fact that dots and cooldowns are displayed in specific order and not in the order they're applied to the target, so if I see that there is a timer bar missing on a target I don't even need to check which debuff it is, but simply cast it immediately. Overall, I would love to see EventHorizon develop, though I hardly can think of any functionality it lacks. Maybe a GUI configure interface, that will make adding/disabling cooldowns easier, but since addon already does what I want, I don't actually need configure interface at the moment. Thanks for this addon and I hope you won't abandon it anytime soon. |

If you have at least basic knowledge of Lua and would like to help continue EventHorizon's development, please send me a PM and we'll set up a method of contact.
I'll be quite happy to share my rather extensive knowledge of EventHorizon's innards, and will help in any way I can to promote its future development. |

Is there a way to edit out the "I tried to cast" white bar? If I'm spamming a key I'll get a bunch of white lines in succession prior to the cast actually going off and its rather annoying.
I couldn't find anything in the config files. edit: I think I need to comment out line 256 but I can't test it yet. Will report back later

Change line 67 of EventHorizon.lua from this: Code:
sent = {1,1,1,1}, Code:
sent = {1,1,1,0}, To make it even easier, try my branch located in the optional files. It adds the color info to config.lua along with a few miscellaneous tweaks and bugfixes. If you find the new buff/debuff coloring distracting, it's easily changeable. |
