Lysidia's Casting Bar Timer

Version: Classic-0.3
by: illiath [More]

Very simple addon with no configuration.

Addon adds a coundown timer to the standard blizzard castingbarframe. This is untested alongside other casting mods, as it was never intended to work with those.

This addon works with channeled spells and regular cast spells, as well as most other effects that use the standard frame.

Now added support for the "Mirror" bar, which is the bar for breath, feign death, exhaustion, etc.

Please let me know via the comments if you have any issues.

Note: I am using github for the code repository, it's publically accessible, so you can use the issue tracker there, or report stuff through comments here.


If you want to change the precision displayed, change the line in LysCastingBarTimer.lua from the below line:
CastingBarTimer_DisplayString = " (%0.2fs)";

To however many decimals you want, so for one decimal place:
CastingBarTimer_DisplayString = " (%0.1fs)";

Hey there! I love small simple addons like this! Any chance of getting a working version for retail as well? I've been back now that the winds of wisdom buff is up, and really miss having this after using it in classic. When underwater the mirror bar seems to be working, but the player castbar isn't showing any time text at all. Thanks in advance!

Would it be possible to implement timers for channeled spells? Currently Blizzard doesn't have a timer.

Otherwise it's absolutely perfect!
It should work for channeled spells... however due to the changes to get it functional at all it might not be functional. I've barely gotten my mage up to being able to cast those spells (my time is rather limited for the game), so I'll look into making that happen.
I would love an option to just show 1 decimal, the so fast changing second decimal is not useful and a bit of a headache.
I loved this addon in classic and love it now too.

Do you do also addons to just display timer on debuffs cast on target bar? Many addons put timers at a side or so on, but none that i've seen just adds a timer on the target portrait already existing debuff. Just like this addon that just adds the timer without changing the castbar! Its so great i would love to have dot's and debuffs with a timer without losing the classic interface
I haven't looked at doing the debuffs thing at any point, if it's a simple thing, then I might put together a simple addon for it. For changing the number of decimal places, in LysCastingBarTimer.lua the line that includes 0.2f, change that 2 to whatever you want. So for single digit precision that should be 0.1f.

eg.
Code:
CastingBarTimer_DisplayString	= " (%0.2fs)";
changes to
Code:
CastingBarTimer_DisplayString	= " (%0.1fs)";
I'll add a note about this in the readme and on the main page here, in case anyone else is interested in that sort of change and doesn't know how.
