Quartz

Table of Contents

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.

*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.

Hi, first great mod been using it since day 1. However, in the latest version of Quartz it has added little timer bars for arena invite, party invite, resurrection timer etc. none of which I can seem to turn off, which is incredibly irritating. Is it a bug or am I just being blind in the UI? Thanks in advance!

It's difficult to set up this addon with the default Interface Options menu. At least if you are setting up bars near the middle of the screen.

In future versions you should move the options window to a separate window. I'll find a /script command to move it for now.

InFlight was last updated on 1/22/10, would it be feasible to put support back in?

How do you turn off the bar's that show the debuff on targets? I see nothing on the Interface UI for it.

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to put text in the Swing Bar. I'd like it to say Auto Shot if possible, but I don't know if this can be done.
If it can be done, could someone kindly tell me how?

Thanks!

Before the latest update, there was an option to show the "accuracy" (or the amount of numbers after the decimal place) of your cast bar. For example, instead of a spell being 1.3 seconds it would be 1.31 or 1.29. Is there an option, in this update, to show that as well?

After the latest patch I am having an issue where I am unable to change the skin of the buff/debuff bars. I select other skins but nothing changes in game even if i reloadui.

Go to Game Menu>Interface>Addons>Quartz>GCD and de-select the "Enabled" option.

Hi - can we have the old style GUI back? Not being able to move the WoW Interface GUI makes for a hard time aligning elements. (2) A conversion of old settings would have been nice rather than deleting them at least as far as possible. After years of tweaks who remembers them all.

Well if you noticed down below the page is full of comments with problems. I'm sure fixes are being worked on, the only thing you can do is wait.
