CandyDice

Version: 70

by: kaylen [More]

CandyDice is inspired by the venerable and widely used DiscoDice rogue timer mod. CandyDice uses the Ace2 embedded libraries (notably CandyBars for the timer bars), tracks a wider variety of abilities, shows cooldowns as well as duration timers, and is sufficently generic that it can show duration timers for any buff and cooldowns for any ability. It works out of the box with most rogue abilities, several horde racials, and a few low level mage cooldowns.

Updated to version 70 with WOTLK 3.3 compatibility.

Still gives me a Stealth bar I suppose a small condition on displaying the Stealth bar as a buff, and hide the constantly recycling timer would do the trick, not sure.

Changes you make in the defaults file won't be loaded into your profile unless you do do a /cdice reset. This is probably why you didn't see the distract/premet/prep timers in your other post also. Disabling the stealth cooldown tracking online (using /cdice abilities stealth scancd) works as expected for me.

I know this is a little annoying but it has to work this way or otherwise cooldowns you remove will come back whenever you relog or reload your UI. I've added distract, prep, and premed to the defaults file and it'll be in the next version.

Let me know if I can help (or hurt, lol) any more. CandyDice.lua add line 172 Code: self:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE") CandyDice.lua add line 428 Code: function CandyDice:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE (msg) if string.sub(msg, -21) == 'afflicted by Garrote.' then local duration = 18 cb:SetCandyBarTime("Garrote", duration) cb:StartCandyBar("Garrote") end end Rogue.lua add any line Code: ["Garrote"] = { colors = {"ff0000"}, cooldown = false, buff = false, }, It's not catching Distract as a cooldown, nor Premeditation or Preparation, are there plans to add those as well? __________________ shadows and shadows of shadows.

I added Stealth to the list, but even cooldown and buff set to false, it lists the buff with the counter continuously resetting. cooldown = true, will count down correctly after un-Stealthed.

Some other ideas...
Bar width by number, rather than scale

that's it, lol. I have my own haxed version of CandyBar lib with a different font/size set to match ElkBuffBars currently.

I can PM you a list of active mods if you want.

That'd be great. I'm stumped at the moment, not sure what could have caused that to happen.

I do have two minor comments.

Any chance to support the human skill Perception?

Any chance to reverse the cooldown timers, so instead of growing up, they grow down. I mean the actual bar, not wether or not they grow up or down from the anchor.

/cdice abilities addnew Perception will add Perception to the tracking.

I'll add a toggle to let you switch which way the bars move.

Edit: In response to your edit, using modules for the defaults is on my todo list.

Any chance to support the human skill Perception? Edit: After actually reading the description, and looking at the code, I can see its darn easy to add abilities etc. A nifty addition might be to have classspecific modules, that adds class/race abilites acording to the char using the addon.

Re: cannot disable cooldown tracking

Originally posted by Knifed
since sprint and evasion have long cooldowns, i figured it's probably not the best idea to have mass bars showing on the screen.

on an attempt to disable sprint and evasion using
/cd abilities sprint scancd
/cd abilities evasion scancd

they were both toggled to [off]

however upon a recasting of those abilities the timers still show, even though they are still in the [off] for cooldown scanning. is this a bug?
-------------------------------------------------------------
edit: after i waited for a few minutes, trying the addnew function out, i went to try out sprint and evasion again and the cooldowns seemed to stop scanning. maybe i'm supposed to wait a while for the changes to take effect or something, although that sounds completely silly =.=".
nice addon btw.

It should happen immediately. I'll see if I can reproduce this.

None of them would show up but they were showing up before. Terribly confusing.

Just to see if I understand the problem correctly:

The CandyDice timers work normally, but on certain boss fights they do not appear? I assume you're using bigwigs, can you tell me which version? My guild isn't in AQ40 yet so I haven't done the Skeram fight, does it happen on any other bosses? Do you get any error messages? Do the regular BigWigs bars work?
