CoolLine

Version: 8.0.002

by: totalpackage, Phanx, Uitat

CoolLine is a spell/item cooldown mod that displays icons on a single bar/line to give you an idea of when it will be ready. No statusbar timer and no text timer.

CoolLine is inspired by Forte_Cooldown (a module in the ForteXorcist package). CoolLine is basically a stripped down and standalone version written from scratch. The name comes from putting "cooldown" and "timeline" together (yes, lame).

YouTube Intro

How to Use

Change settings - "/coolline" or check Interface Options -> AddOns
Change position and size - unlock to make it draggable and resizable
Filter/unfilter a spell or item cooldown - "/coolline Spell Item Name Link"
Add more fonts/texture - CoolLine uses LibSharedMedia

External Support

CoolLine.NewCooldown(name, icon, endtime, isplayer)
- name - unique string id of the cooldown, used as a look-up id
- icon - string icon path used to display image on the bar
- endtime - numerical time when the icon should expire, based on GetTime()
- isplayer - boolean value used to determine if the icon is colored by spell
CoolLine.ClearCooldown(unused, name)

Notes

Only one spell/item will be shown in an event that multiple spells/items share the same cooldown (whichever appeared first).
By design, icons will often overlap; if you do not like it, this type of cooldown mod is not for you.
What you see is what you get. If you like the idea of this mod but want more, I highly suggest checking out ForteXorcist or Ellipsis. I'll most likely ignore requests to make CoolLine more similar to them.
CoolLine only does spell/item cooldowns and NOT buff/debuff cooldowns, flight timers, time til enrage, etc; this will NOT change so don't ask.

Recently, I (TotalPackage) had some requests for donation info, so here it is. Do not feel obligated; donations (or lack of) will not determine what features I do or do not implement.

It is very obvious when I cast Holy Word: Salvation, or Divine Hymn, or even Holy Nova. I disabled all my addons and gradually enabled them one by one. That allowed me to narrow it down to this addon specifically. As soon as I disabled CoolLine, the stutter from casting those AOE spells disappeared. As soon as I enabled CoolLine, the stutter/lag returned. Hope that helps others who have been suffering from this problem. This seems to have started with the BFA expansion, I've been using CoolLine for years and never had this problem until BFA. Keywords for Google: BFA Holy Word Salvation lag stutter

On private servers I used a handmade version, but it doesnt work for now as the code has changed, so I have neither 1.12 (private servers) version nor retail classic version for use. Beg you, sir!

CoolLine for Wow Classic (1.13)

Hello all,

You can check there for a working Wow Classic version https://github.com/LoneWanderer-GH/CoolLine (branched from the original https://github.com/phanx-wow/CoolLine)

The code is a bit crappy since I just wanted it to work for my character.
The classic/retail build identification may be reworked.

Addon's maintainers' choice to integrate modifications or not. I most probably won't create and maintain the classic branch.
Edit 2019-11-08: Of course, since the CoolLine license is indicated as

I hope current CoolLine owners/contributors are Ok with the proposal/github branch existence.

Regards.

PS: if anyone already did that job, I could not find it myself, so sorry for duplicate.

Hi

I have a set of modifications working with ElvUI, it is 2 separate projects, you can find them here.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/coolline-classic-updated
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/elvui-coolline-wrapper

As previously said, CoolLine rights are not mine, so this might be discontinued without further notice.

self.border = self.border or CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

and line 411 to:

f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, CoolLine.border, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

For those interested, they simply removed the inherent inheritance of the frames from BackdropTemplate (see WowUI devs changelog https://github.com/Stanzilla/WoWUIBu...system-changes). You now have to add it manually when creating a from that will use bacldrops.
Would have proposed a fix, but I did not find any mean through wowinterface.

Cheers

Fixed here, https://github.com/ronin-seven/sl-cool-line, just follow the README to install. I haven't done extensive testing, works fine on my hunter and monk. Let me know if you encounter errors.

Yes, there is actually a pretty easy fix.
There is but two lines to fix in C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\CoolLine\core.lua (or wherever you put your Wow and addons folders).
Change line 99 to:

and line 411 to:

Thank you so much! How in the world did you figure this out! I just have one more problem with this addon now. So it is showing up and working, but for some reason it isn't tracking all my cooldown spells. For example, it doesn't track my Holy Fire, Prayer of Mending, Circle of Healing, etc. But it does track my Psychic Scream, Shadow Word: Death, Mass Dispel, Arcane Torrent and Desperate Prayer. I figured it was a filtering issue, so I changed that with the /Coolline (Name of spell) command in game, but it still wont work. Any idea on how to fix that?

But given your comment and that of roninseven, there is indeed a greater problem. @roninseven, you seem to have a fix for this but your link is 404 and i can't find you nor your project on github. Going to bed, bye

Works perfectly now! Thank you so much guys, yall are the best! I was so worried I would have to clutter my screen again with cd icons. Not sure why these bar addons aren't more popular, they are so much nicer and sleek looking. Good luck in Shadowlands!

Fixed here, https://github.com/ronin-seven/sl-cool-line, just follow the README to install. I haven't done extensive testing, works fine on my hunter and monk.

Let me know if you encounter errors.

My fix for this was simply changing the line

local _, _, offset, numSpells = GetSpellTabInfo(2)

local _, _, offset, numSpells = GetSpellTabInfo(GetNumSpellTabs())

Your solution tries to iterate over each spell tab independently but this is slightly defeated by the second for loop (i):

Code:

		for spellTabIdx = 2, numOfSpellTabs do
			local _, _, offset, numSpells, _, offspecId = GetSpellTabInfo(spellTabIdx)
			if offspecId == 0 then
				for i = 1, offset + numSpells do

Basically for each tab, as long as that tab is not an offspec tab, you're iterating over every spell starting with the first spell in the General tab (i.e. 1) to the last spell in the current (spellTabIdx) tab.

If you want to iterate over each tab like this, I suggest the following changes:

Code:

		for spellTabIdx = 1, numOfSpellTabs do
			local _, _, offset, numSpells, _, offspecId = GetSpellTabInfo(spellTabIdx)
			if offspecId == 0 then
				for i = offset + 1, offset + numSpells do

Iterating spellTabIdx starting at 1 (instead of 2) will ensure the General tab spells are cached, and then to ensure that only the spells of a given tab are considered in the inner (i) loop, iterate i starting at offset + 1. (offset is set to the index of the last spell of the preceding tab, so offset + 1 is the index of the first spell of the current tab.)

Again, my quick hack fix was to simply replace the hardcoded "2" with "GetNumSpellTabs()":

local _, _, offset, numSpells = GetSpellTabInfo(GetNumSpellTabs())

as the original "for i = 1, offset + numSpells" loop will then ensure every spell from the first spell in the General tab to the last spell of the last tab is cached.

I'm a nitpicker, I apologize. 😎

Line numbers are in reference to the code in core.lua as I'm editing it and may not reflect precisely your copy. Both lines changed are fairly self-evident. Around line 6, correct the regular expression that matches version 8.x to also match 9.x. I think this is only referenced in (possibly obsoleted?) spellcast failure code and pet bar tracking code, but just in case… Lua Code: local IS_WOW_8 = GetBuildInfo():match("^[89]") If you're a hunter, you've probably noted that no pet abilities are being tracked. This is simply remedied, around line 466 (in the CacheBook function): Lua Code: elseif spellID and (spellType == "SPELL" or spellType == "PETACTION") and spellID ~= lastID then Hopefully this and the preceding posts will help any anxious to get CoolLine working again and impatient for an "official" release. __________________ --/\/
