Day Night Cycle  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.5
by: Asashdor [More]

DayNightCycle is a relatively lightweight addon designed to track the most important aspects of the Warlords of Draenor balance druid rotation while also providing a highly configurable options menu with SharedMedia support.

Design and eclipse timer based on the amazing WeakAuras Script by Lappee and Cyous: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ppee-amp-Cyous
If you'd rather use a WeakAuras scripts instead of another addon, definitely check it out!


--- IMPORTANT ---
I've had to introduce some changes to v1.2c to fix bar width/height limits which will cause bar size and positioning to change! You can try to solve this with "/dnc convert" but I can't promise if this works for everybody.
The safer option is to adjust the bars yourself.
Sorry about that.


If you did not use the addon prior to v1.2c, you should not be able to notice anything about that.
--- IMPORTANT ---


Currently supports:
  • A simple eclipse bar with a timer until next eclipse and Lunar/Solar energy values
  • Bars for Celestial Alignment and Incarnation
  • A bar for Starfall/Sunfall duration
  • Display of Starsurge/Starfall Charges
  • Debuff icons for Moonfire, Sunfire, and Stellar Flare
  • Buff icons for Solar and Lunar Empowerment

Configuration:
  • Integrated into the Blizzard Interface Options (options can also be accessed via "/dnc" and can be reset to default via "/dnc reset")
  • The addon can't be deactivated out of combat but there is an option to reduce its visibility out of combat
  • Everything except the main eclipse bar can be activated/deactivated separately
  • Almost everything should be customizable: Positioning, Size, Textures, Fonts etc.
  • Full compatibility with LibSharedMedia for textures, fonts, borders, and backgrounds

To-Do:
  • Improve fading out of combat
  • Add Force of Nature charges

Disclaimer:
This is my first real addon aside from a few small, personal projects so there will be bugs, errors, and probably even some CPU/RAM usage issues. Additionally I'm not a balance druid myself so I might have also missed some mechanical errors.
If you notice anything, please send a message - Bug reports, feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Config mode

I really like the ability to customize every element of the add-on and it would be nice to have an option to make all elements visible at once so size and position can be easily configured.

Love the add-on as much lighter alternative to WeakAuras. Keep up the great work.

Thanks.

I've got exactly the same suggestion from a friend yesterday, so:
Added "Configuration Mode" for easier customization and also added an option to disable the additional bars if you only want to use the main eclipse bar.

Initially I just intended to provide a small addon version of the WeakAuras script without any customization whatsoever so I might have missed some options - if you can think of anything useful, I'm always open for suggestions.

Errors on customization

Here are some errors I've encountered after customizing setup such as resizing eclipse bar and changing font.

Error 1 (this one fires continuously):

Error 2:

Error 3:

Thank you for adding Configuration Mode. Definitely makes it easier to set up.

Thanks for the report!
Seems like I missed a huge problem with SharedMedia support while testing. Should be fixed in v1.2a.

Edit: And I broke the addon completely in 1.2a. Amazing! Fixed in 1.2b.

Please fix this:

1. Starsurge Charges show up also if you have disabled them after a reload
2. Alpha is set to 0 but the whole bar shows up at about 10% alpha after a reload/logout login
3. Minimum bar hight is 25, why? I need it to be 6 or something like this just a very small line about 320px long woud be perfect for me
4. Also I'd like to remove the Moon and Sun texture I can do that by editing the Lua but an option do diable them woud be cool

Other then that great addon!

1. & 2. Good catches, I forgot to add several checks when adding those options. Should be fixed in 1.2c.
3. Originally I added a minimum bar height because you couldn't change the backdrop - having the bar too flat would break it. Now that you can change the background I've removed that limit in v1.2c but to do so I had to change some things around which affected bar sizes and positioning. You can try to fix that by using "/dnc convert" but I can't promise if that fixes sizing/positioning correctly for every possible alignment.
4. Option added in v1.2c, can be found at the bottom of the Eclipse Bar options. I'll still need to add more options like size and position for those textures though.

I've also added "/dnc" to open the options menu and "/dnc reset" if you need to reset everything. Initially I did not add a slash command for that because it's quite easy to access Blizzard's interface options and the official function to open the interface options tab does not always work correctly - e.g. the first time you try to open a custom tab it just opens the general interface options. I've tried to work around that but for now my solution is to just run Blizzard's function twice which is certainly not ideal and might cause other errors...

As mentioned in the addon info I'm not a balance druid myself which means there are definitely lots of things I'm missing because I don't use the addon everyday - so:
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the fast fixes! I also don't play balance as my main but I'd like to use the addon for my UI

One thing that woud be nice if the bar woud not fade out instant after a fight. Maybe a slider where we woud set it up to fade after 1-20 sec after a fight. Also if the bar woud always show up if you have an enemy target woud be great. So no enemy target and outfight the bars fades after 5 sec and if you target something it shows up again. So you don't have to guess for a new target.

Plz add Lunar and Solar Empowerment stacks. This is only needed. Maybe dualsided bar.

I'd love to see the following at some point:

!- solar and lunar empowerment stacks

- bar growth direction (as I would prefer to have the bar continually go from left to right no matter what is happening, sort of no going back and forth)

- scaleable, the whole thing, without editing each and every bar individually


keep up the good work!

Sorry for not responding for a few days, I've not been able to spend more than a few minutes at my PC... great time to get a cold. At least WoD is still a few weeks off.
Thanks for the feedback and your kind words, both are much appreciated!

One thing that woud be nice if the bar woud not fade out instant after a fight. Maybe a slider where we woud set it up to fade after 1-20 sec after a fight. Also if the bar woud always show up if you have an enemy target woud be great. So no enemy target and outfight the bars fades after 5 sec and if you target something it shows up again. So you don't have to guess for a new target.
I'll try to take a look at that but I'm currently not sure how to do that in a sensible way. While I do have some ideas I'm not sure about those.
I guess I could just increase the time it takes to fade out as an easy fix for now...

Plz add Lunar and Solar Empowerment stacks.
Will be added as soon as possible. I'd hoped to have that added by now but well... without being at my PC it's been more difficult than expected.

- scaleable, the whole thing, without editing each and every bar individually
Should be relatively easy to add, will take a look.

also, after respeccing from balance to resto the bar doesn't go away until reload.
Yes, I've just found a bug with my implementation of the function to fade out the bars out of combat which causes that to happen - should be fixed soonish.

- bar growth direction (as I would prefer to have the bar continually go from left to right no matter what is happening, sort of no going back and forth)
Maybe dualsided bar.
I'm currently not sure about those two suggestions and I'd rather fix the current bugs and implement a few missing features (e.g. Empowerment stacks) first so that might not happen for a bit. Having a dualsided bar definitely sounds plausible (and, well, it's the Blizzard way of displaying balance power) and should not be that unreasonable to implement.
Having said that I can't think of a way to show balance power with a bar that always goes from left to right - I think that would be really confusing, at least the way it works now. In theory you would have 4 bars going from left to right (0-Lunar, Lunar-0, 0-Solar, Solar-0) regardless of the real "direction" of balance power. If using only two bars (Solar-Lunar, Lunar-Solar) that might work relatively well but then I'm sure it would be more intuitive to have the bars go back and forth instead of only rising from left to right (which would be the same as the aforementioned dualsided bar and Blizzard's way).
I'll have to think about that some more before I get to a conclusion on what and how to do that. I'm always open for ideas I'm missing though.

Thanks for your reply and the nice addon . My "idea" comes from Vex Power where we have this option, maybe it helps looing into how it was done there.
Its inside the "Show" options as Hide Out of Combat, Still show stealthed, still show when targeting a unit, OoC delay timer and FadeOut effect.
Also hide in Pet Battel is maybe missing here.

Sorry for taking so long, I've had some pretty busy days nearing the release of WoD - next version (1.4) should be up.
I've added Solar and Lunar Empowerment icons and debuff icons for Moonfire, Sunfire and Stellar Flare for your current target. Those icons currently do not have built-in cooldown numbers but it should work with addons like OmniCC.
I'm not sure if I've caught all bugs, especially with the Debuff Icons but I wanted to get out a version with added icons prior to the release of WoD. If you notice any errors, please report them!
I've also added a profile system if you need different settings per character which caused quite a few code changes - another reason why the update took so long.

Sadly I've not been able to take a look at a more intelligent "Hide out of combat" function and that will now have to wait a few days until the relaase frenzy is over.
