Hello, thank you for this addon.
I am having an issue.
On my paladin, when I cast I have self cast bar showing. Even for mounting up and using grenades, however this is not showing for my rogue. Using exalted the same addons and settings. I reset this addon and under castbar player it is definitely enabled. I also tried toggling test and it is showing but when I actually cast something eg poison or grenade it does not show.
It used to show until I had to name change I copied all old files from my previous name in WTF. everything else work except Castbar Player.
Any ideas please?
In reply to timmizz:
Are you using any other addons that modify the player castbar? Try and see if it still happens with ClassicCastbars as the only addon enabled just to check.
In reply to Wardzx:
Hi, yes it was Z perl.. I figured it out. Thanks so much for your reply.
a suggestion though, if this could show targets mounting up it would be perfect
In reply to timmizz:
Awesome.
Showing target mounting up is not possible sadly, except for paladin & warlock Summon Mount spells.
cast bar doesnt function right when they cast rank 1 spells.
In reply to scalpelexix:
That's just how enemy castbars works in vanilla. There's no way to check what rank the enemy uses so it always assumes max rank.
It seems like the castbars do not work with pitbull, right? When I want to toggle testbars, it always tells me that I don't have a target, although there is definetly a target.
In reply to Zapp3nduster:
Weird, seems to work fine here. Can't help you with that one sorry as I can't reproduce the issue, but make sure you have both addons updated and that you have the classic and not retail version installed of Pitbull.
You can also try enabling lua errors with /console scriptErrors 1 and see if you get any errors.
Sure.
You can just adjust the text position sliders no?
1. Can you increase max width of bar please? Tired to change it after every update :) 500 should be enough.
2. Add option to align cast name to left side of castbar.
Hi, this post is for Classic WoW.
I noticed that even after enabling Cast Bar under Castbar Party tab within the /castbar menu, I do not see any cast bars of my party members.
I tested this by targeting my party's healer. She begin spam casting and I could see her casts (flash heals, greater heals, etc.) in the target frame's cast bar, but no cast bars were visible from her unit frame within the party window (same with the rest of my party members).
Another odd thing--when I press Toggle Testing Party (within a total group of 4), I only see 1 test mode bar that comes up for party member #1 (no test bars are toggled for the other party members). When I press "Toggle Testing Party" the 2nd time, the test bar AND the party member's unit frame (I use Z-perl) disappears. They reappear together when I again press "toggle testing party" and alternate like so. [EDIT: the only way to turn off test bar while keeping my party member #1's unit frame is to turn off "Enable Castbar" under General Settings of Castbar Party tab, then re-enabling.]
Are there fix to these issues or are they at least already known issues? Thank you in advance, really appreciate your work.
In reply to BlueBeats_Twitch:
Sounds like an addon conflict with Z-Perl, I will look into it soon. In the meantime you can try disabling or enabling "Use Raid-Style Party Frames" option in Blizzard's interface settings. The anchoring works differently depending on this setting.
Btw only 1 test bar for party is intended, but hiding them like that is not. Will fix.
Edit: Should be fixed in v1.2.5.
how would I polymorph my focus target with a macro?
In reply to triglab:
But if for some reason "/click FocusCastbar" fails (i.e unit out of range) it will Polymorph your current target instead so be careful using these types of macros.
If you want to make sure it never Polymorphs the wrong player you can try using this macro below instead, but the downside here is that it doesn't target back to your original target. Also keep in mind these are intended for players only. If mobs have same name it won't be able to distinguish between them.
I have tested your newly implemented focus cast bar and I love it, i have 1 suggestion tho, can you make it so that I can use the macro /focus mouseover to focus something im not currently targetting? it works like that in retail and i would love to be able to use that macro.
Thanks for everything, love this addon :)
In reply to Jazo:
Great idea, will look into it.
Edit: You can try using this macro:
Edit2: As of v1.2.4 you can now do "/focus mouseover" instead.
In reply to Wardzx:
Awesome!
Ty very much for implementing this!
is there a command to lock the cast bars? i keep accidently moving them around.thx
In reply to domaanator:
Just click the toggle test mode button again. Castbars are only movable when testmode is enabled.
I love this addon, however I have no idea how to remove the buff duration bar that is directly in the center of the screen. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
