AlphaButtons

Version: 1.2.2

by: v6o [More]

If you're looking for an version that works with 4.x Cataclysm then I suggest you try CooldownAlpha by xtothx.

I have very little time to play WoW and even less time to code addons. As such I've dropped all development of all my addons. If you want to continue any addon or make a fork then feel free to do so. This is your permission slip.

Best regards, v6

Turns your action bars into a cooldown tracker by switching the alpha of action buttons that are on cooldown.

Configuration
If you open core.lua in a text-editor you will be able to change the alpha and disable fading on the bars of your choosing.
There should be enough information in the file on how to change it.

Supported addons
Bartender4
Dominos
Geist
rActionBarStyler
and any other that reuse the default buttons

Not supported and reasons
Macaroon
Already has the feature to fade out on cooldowns. Just ask the author for the opposite.

Credits
To skhm for coming up with the original idea with his addon CoolerMaster

1.2.2
Works with OmniCC again (Hooks on P_E_W instead of P_L which OmniCC does)

1.2.1
Added event unregister back in.

1.2
Stripped down to a bare minimum while retaining functionality.
Now keeps skills as on cooldown until GCD is over but only if GCD was fired when the cooldown is less than GCD.

1.1
Geist support.
Shortened cooldown check.

1.0
Bumped toc as no errors were reported.

0.4
Added possibility to disable fading on bars.

0.3
Fixed some mistakes. *cough cough*

0.2
rActionBarStyler should be fully supported now.

I'm running with Dominos with actionbars of different kind (mouseover, always shown, different sets of alpha) and until now, your addons works like a charm. __________________ Shields Up! - Another Resto Shaman Blog

I seem to be getting one error on log in with dominos:

[2009/11/26 13:07:42-3587-x1]: AlphaButtons-0.2\core.lua:32: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
AlphaButtons-0.2\core.lua:84: in function <Interface\AddOns\AlphaButtons\core.lua:72>

Out of curiosity I activated nMainbar together with AlphaButtons, this doesn't get me any errors (which isn't really surprising, considered how close to the default blizzard action bars nMainbar is).

I seem to have "failed" a bit in 0.2 where I uploaded a version and forgot to rename a function. I'm just uploading a new one as 0.3 but it doesn't have any changes other than correcting my mistake.

Added to 0.4, test it please.

Edit: I'll take the lack of comments that it is working as intended. Not that it is a bad thing.

v6o An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 399 File comments: 60 Uploads: 9	Macaroon already has an option to lower the Alpha / Transparency whenever an item or spell is on cooldown but not the other way around. I think would be better to ask the author to put it into their addon instead of me trying to hack away (not even sure where I'd start) the code that does the so-called fading. __________________ I stopped playing back World of Warcraft in 2010 and I have no plans on returning.
