ChronoForge

Your cooldowns, buffs, debuffs and bars — built your way, for WoW Forever.

WeakAuras mostly doesn't run on WoW Forever. ChronoForge gives you the displays you miss, without code or import strings: pick a spell, pick what it should tell you, done. Everything is set with buttons and plain words, and you see the result right away.

Features

  • Icon groups for spell cooldowns, buffs on you, debuffs on you, buffs on your target and your DoTs on the target (Target, Focus or Mouseover).
  • Plain choices per icon: When ready Bright / Glow / Hide · On cooldown Dim + timer / Normal + timer / Hide · When missing Red / Dim / Hide · Warn before it ends · Show Always / Only in combat / Only with a target.
  • Live preview: see how the icon will look while you change it.
  • Spellbook tab: every spell of your class (locked ones show what unlocks them), plus a search through the spells, buffs and debuffs of every class — by name or spell ID.
  • Bars: cast bar (can replace the Blizzard one), health bar, resource bar that follows your class and druid form, and a combo point bar that follows your target (on Forever, combo points stay on the mob).
  • Fonts: choose the font of your timers (per group or per icon) and of every bar — game fonts, 8 bundled fonts, fonts from SharedMedia, or your own font file.
  • Edit mode: drag groups and bars, resize them, snap to a grid; click an icon to jump to its settings.
  • In combat: WoW Forever hides buffs and debuffs from addons during combat. ChronoForge keeps your own buffs and DoTs going with timers started from your own casts.
  • Light on performance: event-driven, no combat log.

Commands

/chrono window · /chrono bars · /chrono book · /chrono settings · /chrono unlock / /chrono lock · /chrono minimap · /chrono secrets (diagnostic report for bug reports) · /chrono reset

Status

Beta. Built for the WoW Forever client 1.60.1. Some parts depend on what the client allows addons to read in combat; please report anything that looks wrong, with the text of /chrono secrets (out of and in combat).
