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.

Is there a way to add these in? Or should I just use the code provided by one of the posters, below?

Haven't tried your new release yet, but you didn't mention it in the patch change notes.

Thanks again for the great mod, very helpful!

I have some code locally that manages cheapshot. The reason why I haven't made it part of the release is because Blizzard doesn't provide enough information to make it reliable.

For expose armor, theres a combat log message along the lines of "You perform Expose Armor", and that is used to start the timer. Cheapshot and garrotte don't have these - there's just "Bob is afflicted by Cheap Shot". There's no way to tell that it's your cheapshot, and not some other rogue killing something nearby. The best that can be done is to filter by the name of your target.

You can copy/paste the code below into your KidneyShot.lua file if you want to experiment and see the effect and the limitations:

Code:

CheapShot = CDRogueTimers:NewModule("Cheap Shot")

CheapShot.category = "Stun"

function CheapShot:OnEnable()
     self.parser:RegisterEvent("CDRogueTimersCheapShot", "CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE", function(event, info)
        return self:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)
    end)
end

function CheapShot:OnDisable()
    self.parser:UnRegisterAllEvents("CDRogueTimersCheapShot")
end

function CheapShot:CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_CREATURE_DAMAGE(event, info)
    if info.skill ~= BabbleSpell["Cheap Shot"] then return end
    if info.victim ~= UnitName("target") then return end
    self:StartBar(4)
end

Thanks.

The ability timers are centered by default. Use /cdice timers center to toggle between centered and anchored mode.

For both cooldowns and timers, use /cdice timers show(or /cdice cooldowns show) to toggle showing the anchor. You can drag this wherever you want.

For your information im using Noxious shooter (1.6 speed). When I use the Ragefire mage wand (1.4 speed) the cd does not show up, only when i use noxious shooter. I'm guessing this has something to do with the speed of the wands?

Yes. CandyDice masks cooldowns with a duration of 1.5 seconds or less so that you don't get bars for the standard global cooldown. Wands are a unique case because they trigger a global cooldown, but the duration is the speed of the wand (so your 1.4 one is masked, your 1.6 is not).

I'll see if I can just check the speed of your wand and mask that in the next release.

Item cooldown is in development. You didn't do anything wrong, CandyDice doesn't scan for your item cooldowns, so adding them won't work. The item cooldowns will be implemented in a second mod that depends on CandyDice.

The most likely thing to actually case a WoW crash is probably a corrupted texture file, try deleting those and see what happens? Perhaps redownload? I've just checked the archive on the site and it's identical to the one I have locally.

CandyDice was doing it but it wasn't necessarily CD's fault. The UI would load the world data (loading screen temp bar) and start to form in the background prior to display to the user, then get a ton of errors and go apeshit resulting in a client crash. I could hear bugsack screaming it's fool head off before it crapped out.

I went around updating all the Ace2 modules in all the Ace2 mods which let me get in-game (thankfully) but if I switched chars, blamo, dead -- that "imbedded code" the Ace2 community always goes on about isn't nearly as friendly as they'd like to tell you it is, this is the 2nd time I've seen supposedly "point-change" library versions break one mod or another horridly.

I finally went through turning things on/off till I could break it but it broke stupidly and weirdly. I had to literally DELETE CastParty out of the directory, turn off FuBar2 Compatibility, remove any Ace1 mods along with Ace1 libs, and still couldn't get some chars to come up. On a lark I enabled everything left then entered the game...which worked to my amazement. Then gradually turned everything off things that didn't apply till I was back where I started. But I can log in and swap chars now.

I'm this >< close to blaming CandyBars (only mod I have that uses the lib is CandyDice) for , shall we say, "pointing out the problem" and it's the only thing that changed -- and I DO mean that in the "tech support" sense of "no, really, all that was updated was CandyDice" not the typical end-user sense -- but a) I'm finally making a break with Ace1, b) hated CastParty anyway, and c) no longer having large pink timer bars slapping me in the forehead so I'm happy
