About
Adds castingbars to the target frame and nameplates in Classic World of Warcraft. Cast times are estimates only.
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 when lagging.

when we getting player castbar?
The "Castbar Target" is inaccurate. It's off by half a second on all casting mobs. I use Threatplates castbars for the nameplates and that has always been accurate. Now Blizzard has reduced nameplate distance, I really need the "Castbar Target" to be accurate.
In reply to Genesisfury:
Will be improved in next update. It's never going to be 100% accurate though as mobs have various cast times.
How to move YOUR bar (castbar of myself)? I learned how to move enemy bars, but what about mine?
In reply to DedMakar_ru:
Not possible at the moment, it's only for target and nameplates. I will add support for player castbar in the future.
In reply to Wardzx:
Ok, thank you
Out of curiosity, does this always show the highest rank? Or does it show the highest rank that the current leveled character is able to cast?
Great addon by the way!
In reply to cplusplus_:
It's shows the highest learned rank if you have the spell in your spellbook. Otherwise it shows the max rank.
Edit: Or actually nevermind it still shows the max rank if you already know the spell, but it does take talent reduction into account so for example if you have Improved Frostbolt talented 5/5 it will show a 2.5s cast time for Frostbolt instead of 3.0s.
Thank you for making this

No problem <3
Hey, this add is amazing! Thanks! I'm just having a small issue, for some reason it replaced all bar colors to lime green regardless of what color I choose. No idea what triggered it. Actually, if I set it to red, the color becomes black. Must be some blending issue but I can't figure it out. Tried deleting and installing again, didn't change anything. Any ideas of what I can do?
In reply to FlynnZeke:
Did you set the transparency to zero? There's 2 sliders next to the color circle. If not, try resetting all settings (there's a button in the options panel for it) or try loading ClassicCastbars as the only addon loaded and see if it makes a difference.
It's not possible to replace my default castbar for yours?
I want skill icon on my bar but i can have it only on my targets/frame. How about using it as default?
In reply to fivinh0:
Not at the moment. I will add support for it later but im currently busy leveling to 60 so might take some time.
In reply to Wardzx:
Alright.
Your addon is amazing, i really like the classic UI. Can't wait for that update :)
"- Castbar is now stopped when unit is moving for players only since some mobs cast while running."
I can't imagine there are a lot of cases. Cannot this behavior be whitelisted by their spell / mob ids or at least make it a configurable option?

> Cannot this behavior be whitelisted by their spell / mob ids
Technically yes but it'd be a lot of work. Mobs don't fakecast or stop their casts like players though so don't think it's that big of a deal.
any reason it only shows up as polymorph and doesnt show me casts for enemies
In reply to fullmetalobiwan:
Sounds weird. Could you show a screenshot of it, and Lua error if you got any
I love this add on. Thank you for all your efforts. =)
