Introduction:
CTMod is one of the longest-running addon collections (since Vanilla), written first by Cide and TS who can boast that many of their innovative features were later incorporated into the actual game. Resike (2013-2017) and Dahk (2017-present) have maintained the addon in recent expansions.
CTMod customizes your interface to include hotbars, buff timers, statistics recording, and much more. This project commits to tailoring the existing Blizzard UI wherever possible, instead of completely replacing it like some other addons do.

Modules:
This addon is modular so you can pick and choose which parts you want! Type /ct to configure them all!
- CT_Core (/ctcore) - Several small scripts combined together. If you only use a few features, the others will remain disabled and take up almost no memory at all.
- CT_BarMod (/ctbar) - Adds additional hotkey bars at the bottom above the experience bar, and additional left and right side bars. Shifts the pet bar above the left bar when it is turned on (unless overridden by the even more-featured CT_BottomBar).
- CT_BottomBar (/ctbb) - Breaks apart the game’s bottom bar to move, rotate, and even hide different parts such as the bag bar, main menu bar, pet bar, class stance bar, etc.
- CT_BuffMod (/ctbuff) - CT_BuffMod allows a much different style of customizable buff display. Buff names and durations can be shown. Buffs can be sorted by type or duration, and different types can even be shown in different parts of the screen. BuffMod is very versatile and the only way to truly unlock its potential is to play with the options until you get what you like!
- CT_UnitFrames (/ctuf) - Unit frame mod that allows you to further customize the look and feel of the Blizzard unit frames for the player, target, focus, assist, target of target, and target of focus.
- CT_RaidAssist (/ctra) - A modern remake of the original CTRA that predated Blizzard's actual raid frames. Reports hp, mana, buffs, and debuffs of anyone or everyone in your raid. Sorting is possible by groups, roles (retail only) and classes.
- CT_MailMod (/ctmail and /maillog) - Adds several features to your mail window and a log to keep track of what you sent/received.
- CT_MapMod (/ctmap) - Tracks herbs and ore as you discover them, and other features like adding custom notes to the map to remember where stuff is.
- CT_ExpenseHistory (/cteh) - Tracks how much you spend on repairs, reagents, ammo, and mail postage. You can see your totals spent for each character, or a dated log of what you spent.
- CT_PartyBuffs - Displaying of buffs on the party frames instead of when hovering a player’s frame.
- CT_Timer (/cttimer) - General purpose countdown and stopwatch timer.
- CT_Viewport (/ctvp) - Adds the ability to change the game’s viewport. This modifies the size of the rendered world, so that you can place UI elements outside of it.
it is possible to have more option for stance bar ? ( like pala aura ) reduce the scale etc ( juste for this bar )
Btw very good add on :)
In reply to GuyFnuu:
Seems like something that could be done; it's mainly a question of designing the best way to do it that is 'future proof' and melds with the rest of the addon.
CT_BarMod and CT_BottomBar are both pretty complex already, so I will have to be careful to incorporate this in a logical way.
Been using 9.0.5.5d on TBC Beta and Pre Patch PTR for 2 days, so far only thing I noticed is that my pet doesn't show HP/Focus on their respective bar.
In reply to Warrax__:
Thanks for the feedback. 9.0.5.6 will add options to control the pet frame text.
In reply to DahkCeles:
Updating to 9.0.5.6 made me realize CT_UnitFrame wasn't changing pet frame text at all with 9.0.5.3 on WoW Classic and now that it does, the text is too small :P (I understand you did this so the text fits within the frames, I'm just not a fan of the small font) so if you don't mind implementing a Text Size option like the Party tab has, that would be great!
In reply to Warrax__:
Definitely.
Do you think it would look better if I just made a sixth tab for pets, and give all the same options that the player and party frames have?
In reply to DahkCeles:
I'll jump in the middle here and say "Yes Please" ;)
In reply to ilmare_tuor:
LOL. I just looked at 9.0.6a...
Thanks for implementing this Dahk. I'll check it out tonight.
In reply to DahkCeles:
There's still room for a Pet Text Size option in the Player tab but will look full after that so why not.
So it says it updated 8 hours ago but I am seeing no update.
In reply to tavers1:
Good evening,
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ctmod/files
CurseForge is saying its been updated based on the most recent file at the link... however, that file is an alpha version as I continue to test recent changes in The Burning Crusade Classic.
I will probably deploy a more stable release within a few days -- possibly for Classic and TBC only because most of the improvements don't apply to retail.
In reply to DahkCeles:
Okay, thank you
CTMod is not prepared. But it will be.
9.0.5.3 will be released in three versions: Classic, TBC and Retail. Several changes for TBC compatibility have meant revisiting older code, and finding better ways of doing things that were a bit rushed in 2019. As a result, Classic era will also get a few improvements.
9.0.5.3e (13 April 2021):
- Fixed: Multiple issues with the performance monitor in Classic with CT_BottomBar
- Fixed: Quickly navigating the options menu with CT_Core
- Fixed: Returning the assist frame to Classic with CT_UnitFrames
- Several updates in anticipation of The Burning Crusade Classic
Notes:
- CT_BottomBar will now correctly default to "4" bag spacing on Classic, mimicking original behaviour. If you moved the bags around in your UI, it might be necessary to adjust and re-narrow the spacing back to "2" if you want them compressed. This change doesn't affect Retail where it defaults to 2.
- CT_MapMod will now default to showing the locations of undiscovered destinations on the flight map. This feature was soft-launched several months ago, but required user intervention to turn on for a period of extended testing.
WoW Classic.
I'm getting this one line error everytime I log in:
12x Font <unnamed>: Unable to load font file Fonts\arheiuhk_bd.TTF
I did a search in all files to find the addon making that error, it's from here:
C:\Games\World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\CT_BuffMod\CT_BuffMod.xml
Line 31
Thanks for a great work. :)
In reply to SubbyDK:
I actually have a fix for that. It's in beta testing on retail; I'll push something out shortly for classic.
In reply to DahkCeles:
Sweet mate.
Thanks ;)
In reply to SubbyDK:
I got a report from someone else that their classic is now acting funny, and they previously described having the same issue as you.
I just want to follow up, are you experiencing any problems with the latest version of CTMod that was meant to fix this missing font file issue?
Also... by chance, what OS are you using? The other person uses macOS -- makes me wonder if there's a windows vs mac difference I need to investigate.
I am aware of a critical flaw in 9.0.2.4 that can cause the loss of CT_Viewport settings when logging onto alts. A tentative fix is now in alpha version 9.0.2.5b for shadowlands, and will be included in 9.0.5.1 on patch day.
In reply to DahkCeles:
Currently beta testing as 9.0.2.5 on live servers, but will be repackaged as 9.0.5.1 when the patch drops.
9.0.2.5d (7 Mar 2021)
- Fixed: Logging onto each alt for the first time in 9.0.2.4 wiped other toons' settings with CT_Viewport
^^^ if you used 9.0.2.4 last month, log onto your main(s) first before unused alts to apply this fix.
- Improved: Shape a custom screen using finer half-point (0.5) increments with CT_Viewport
- Improved: Importing and exporting settings with CT_Library
- Improved: Compatibility to game font addons and non-latin character sets with CT_BuffMod
Is there a way to change font style of CT_Buff Module? When I create a new window, It takes the default font from ElvUI, but when I mess around with font size in ct buff options (normal,smaller, larger) it resets to CT default.
