Quartz

Quartz is a modular approach to a casting bar addon. An overview of (hopefully most of) the modules:

*Player The core of Quartz is lightweight implementation of a standard casting bar, with configurable size, text and icon positioning, and colors. *Target/Focus Implementation of target and focus casting bars in similar fashion to the player cast bar. *Buffs Display of target and focus buffs and debuffs as duration bars using the new API introduced in patch 2.1. *Flight Hooks into FlightMap or InFlight to display the current flight progress on your casting bar. *Global Cooldown Displays a tiny spark-bar to show your Global Cooldown near the cast bar. Helpful for those who'd rather not squint at their action bars to see when they can cast again. *Interrupt Changes the color and text of your casting bar to help show that your cast has been interrupted (and show who interrupted it). *Latency Displays the amount of time spent between cast send and start events, in the form of a bar at the end of your casting bar, with optional text that displays the actual duration of the lag. This helps in canceling casts when they will not actually be interrupted, especially for users with consistently high pings. *Mirror Shows the 'basic' timers such as breath and feign death, as well as some 'odd' ones such as party invite time, resurrect timeout, and arena game start, and a framework for injecting custom timers into the bars. *Range Recolors the casting bar when your cast target moves out of range mid-cast. *Swing Displays a swing timer for your melee weapon as well as hunter autoshot. *Timer Allows for creating custom timers displayed on the mirror bars. *Tradeskill Merge Merges multiple casts of the same tradeskill item into one big cast bar.

Use /quartz to bring up the configuration menu.

Installation Guide

  1. Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
  2. Download the mod you want to install
    • Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
    • Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
    • If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
  3. Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
    Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
    • Windows
      • Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
      • WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
      • WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
    • Mac Users
      • StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
  4. Verify your WoW Installation Path
    That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
  5. Move to the Addon folder
    • Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
    • Go into the "Interface" folder.
    • Go into the "AddOns" folder.
    • In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
    • The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
    • Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
  6. Start World of Warcraft
  7. Make sure AddOns are installed
    • Log in
    • At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
    • If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
    • If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

does the red latency section at the end of the bar allow the spell to be cast faster than if the mod wasnt being used, and in theory increase the persons dps?
Or do you need to use some kind of /stopcasting macro aswell?

Clicking your next spell when your casting bar gets to red does indeed allow you to cast more spells in a given amount of time. Prior to this last patch, yes, you needed to use /stopcasting in your macros. Now you no longer need to. :o)

I too would like to be able to move the castbar. The way it is now, it doesnt fit well with the layout of my UI. Just tell us which line(s) of code to modify and where it is.

Excellent mod btw. Its really upped my dps on my mage.

FlightMap has a check box in it's options (/flightmap) to turn off showing it's flight timer.

Also, wondering why the swing timer doesn't work for dual wielding?

To avoid having double bars when using Quartz with Flightmap you can do the following:
Open \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\FlightMap\FlightMapTimes.XML in wordpad.
On the 23:row you change this:
<AbsDimension x="195" y="13"/>
into this:
<AbsDimension x="0" y="0"/>

As you might guess this changes the size of the Flightmap Bar to 0, effectively removing it from the screen.

It's probably considered scale.

I'm wondering if with the supposed changes they made to the casting bar is the latency part of this mod no longer needed? Or am I mistaken and they have in fact not made changes to the cast bar to integrate latency?

Everytime I log in I get in big red letters a warning to put a spell in the globol cooldown. I'm a bit confused as to what this means, can anyone tell me what i need to do? I type Find herbs were I think it want me to put it but it keeps eraceing itself after i do.

I just started using this mod and I am so lost. The forums are not a good option either because there are 45 pages. I use this as a hunter. Does this thing show timers for autoshot because that was my whole reason of getting it to help my timing and clipping of autoshots? I set the GCD to autoshot because I didn't know what else to set it to. Also the grey cooldown bars is about 1mm thick and REALLY hard to see. I really could info on how to get it to show autoshot cast time because I was told it does

I was having this problem as well. I tracked down what my problem is so this might help you. Quartz is loaded as a LoD (load on demand) addon so that it isn't hogging up resources. As I understand, you then need an "on demand" mod to manage the "on demand" calls. Mine is called "Supply & Demand" and it was disabled in game, not on the AddOns menu at login. Once I turned Supply & Demand back on and then restarted WoW, Quartz began working like a dream.

I seem to be having the same problem as Faeda, who posted about a month ago. I have Quartz installed in my Interface/Addons folder. In game, I try to type /quartz in chat and it doesn't work. Try looking for the mod in DeuceCommander and the new Rock config thingie (I think that's what it's called) and it's not listed at all. However, Quartz does show up in my list of addons at the character select screen, and if I type /ace2 list enabled in chat, Quartz does show up in that list. I also can see a Feign Death bar when on my hunter feigning...

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Murran:

type /quartz

On the left click on player and or target. For both or either UNCHECK the "Lock" option at the top of their respective configuration screens.

now you can drag and drop the bars anywhere you want.

The other bars are attatched to either the player or the target bars.

Target yourself (while you have buffs) if you want to configure the buff display.

The swing timer is also attached to the target or player bar.

The global cooldown timer is as well.

Both can be undocked(free) and configure as you wish and then redocked or positioned where you like.

Enjoy:)

This is a brilliantly designed add-on, and I love it. But, as far as I am concerned it lacks any kind of customization because the configuration screens for position / size / appearance are essentially unuable by a human.

I would love to see a preview -- see the way that elkano's buff bars makes up fake buffs that you can toggle on and off in order to position and style the bars how you would like them.

It really is great though - and I will use it regardless, but customization / positioning would make it unbeatable - without question.

Thanks for your development.
