About
Adds castingbars to the target frame and nameplates in Classic World of Warcraft. Cast times are estimates only.
You can also modify your own castingbar.
Update: Blizzard removed the ability to distinguish between spell ranks in the combat log, so now cast times are always based on the highest rank.
Configuration
Castbars have configurable size, textures, positioning and more.
Type "/castbar" or go to "Escape -> Interface Options -> AddOns -> ClassicCastbars" to open the options panel.
Notes:
- The spell database is loaded in the background in batches to reduce loading screen times, so when you first start the game the cast tracking wont work untill after ~7 seconds has passed ingame. Same if you do /reload ui.
- Playing with high latency and noticing casts randomly stopping? Try going to options and disable "Stop Castbar on Movement". This feature might bug out sometimes when lagging.

Hey! Love your addon, great work. Getting some taint, thought I'd report it: https://pastebin.com/XYdJTcUu
In reply to stianhoiland:
Should hopefully be fixed now in v1.1.4
its a good addon, but somehow it wont work with pitbull unit frames, only show the castbar on the nameplates.
In reply to paccolinolol:
Will try to add support for next version.
Edit: Is this for target? seems to work fine here but I haven't tried the others.
Anyone else experiencing the bar position not saving when changing characters? If I log out of one character and back on it's fine, but log out and switch and it moves it back to upper left corner on my mage, bottom right on my rogue.
In reply to hurley6178:
Which castbar is this issue for, target or player or both? Do you have "Cast Bar Underneath" option enabled on any of your characters? (Right click your own portrait and check Move Frame button)
In reply to Wardzx:
It's for the target icon. I don't have an option to move frame when right clicking my portrait. It may be interfering with Perl unit frames i'm using.
In reply to hurley6178:
Not sure then sorry. I tested it with Perl and it seemed to work fine. Do you have different scale or frame position settings on your characters? the castbar is always relative to the scale and position of the target frame.
Does anyone know an alternative to this addon? I've tried to install it a dozens of times, diffrent versions and such, but it never shows up in game. Thanks!

WeakAuras.
Make sure you unzip the addon and not just drag the zip file inside the addons folder. Also try and see if there's any addon conflicts by temporarily disabling all other addons besides this one.
I really don't like the laughter icon on the left. Can I use the original icon? Thank you!
In reply to dustfish:
That's the default icon in Classic when no texture is available. I might change it to engineering icon or something later.
I've found that the Target's castbar isn't in sync with the Nameplate castbar. Especially when Curse of Tongues is applied.
Current version: v1.1.0
I'll update to v1.1.1 and post an edit on this message.
Is it possible to display castbar on target of target?
In reply to BFrank425:
Not possible sorry.
Hey mate, i suddently have a castbar for searing totem, after updating im guessing, but i really really dont want this and can't find an option to disable this, any help?
In reply to Tjaldelama:
Currently not possible sorry. You have to either disable nameplate castbars or nameplates on totems.
Thanks for your addon, it's great !
Is there a chance you add the "underwater bar" in your addon ? I need to move the official one :)
Idem for the "feign death bar". I think all those bars are called "mirror bars"
In reply to killyoxxx:
Sorry, thats entirely out of the scope for this addon. You can use a script or addon to move those. For example:
/run MirrorTimer1:ClearAllPoints() MirrorTimer1:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0) /run MirrorTimer2:ClearAllPoints() MirrorTimer2:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, -20) /run MirrorTimer3:ClearAllPoints() MirrorTimer3:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, -40)will move all of them to the center of your screen. You can change the numbers at the end to whatever you want to change position.
