Target Casting Bar (TCB)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.03r1
by: adelea [More]
Shows your targets cast bar in a seperate (movable) window.

Tarien has made a video on youtube showing how to configure TCB (and its sister addon CBR):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l__OJFpvD9E

To see all available options:

/tcb

Options summary:

/tcb this - this will set tcb watching your CURRENT target, even if you then change targets, it will continue watching the 'this' target.
/tcb target - will go back to watching your active target, changing as you change targets.

/tcb scale #.## - applies a scaling to the window to change its size, either larger (scale >1) or smaller (scale <1)

/tcb deplete - the bar starts full and empties as time runs out
/tcb fill - the bar starts empty and fills as time runs out

/tcb reset - resets all options to their defaults

If you do not like my choice of colours for the bars and text, then you can specify your own!

/tcb col bi|bu|ti|tu R G B

bi - Interruptible Bar color
bu - Non-Interruptible Bar color
ti - Interruptible Text color
tu - Non-Interruptible Text color

R/G/B are numbers in the range 0-1

For example, to set the interruptible bar color to what the default is:

/tcb col bi 0.16 0.1 0.5

Not the most convenient way of doing it, but in lieu of a colour picker window being available, it does at least offer the option.

[New in 1.0 - thanks Kalvir (Zelandonii on Steampike)]

/tcb textsize ## - sets fontsize
/tcb remain/total - shows SpellName [remain/total]
/tcb remain - shows SpellName [remain]
/tcb total - shows SpellName [total]
/tcb nameonly - shows SpellName

/tcb custom X Y - sets the bar to exactly X x Y pixels

You get these errors in Warfronts, near objectives that people are capturing/returning ?

If you can try this version and let me know how it goes that would be great.

If you DO get the error, if you can do:

/script dump(TCB_Settings)

And send me the output, that would be very helpful.

What I think the problem is, is that the rift game is giving some values in its addon API that other parts cannot handle.

The test version mentioned above tries a bit harder to catch them, and also saves the raw data of the castbar its processing, so if there is a problem it will hopefully highlight it.

Errors

Hi,

thank you for this wonderful addon. I sometimes get a bunch of errors. As rift doesnt allow chat copy paste (or is there an error dump from tcb?).

Here a screenshot:

Nice work on the update. Another request although a little tougher... would there be a way to set it so if you're focus target or your /tcb this target dies, the addon automatically switches back to /tcb target? If not then thats fine.

With the /tcb channel reversal Im not getting the channel to start full and go empty.

Will create a bar that is 400 wide, by 50 high. You will probably need to set /tcb textsize too since the custom mode overrides all scaling previously done.

Not all at once. At least not in this addon - maybe I'll start on MCB once my other work in progress projects have advanced a bit.

I wrote it for myself to make it easier to see my targets castbar for interrupt purposes, and added in other functions as more people requested them.

It only displays a single castbar, though you can have it display your target's target or your focus' castbar with

/tcb focus
/tcb targettarget

Edit: I figured out my color issues, nvm about that. Still can't get it entirely opaque tho!
/tcb alpha 1 should make the bar as a whole opaque.



The top bar is with an alpha of 0.75, and you can see the trees behind it. The bottom bar is with an alpha of 1.00 and is completely opaque.

Frame opacity is all relative to each other. A bar with opacity of 1.00, that is on top of a bar with opacity 0.75, is effectively also at opacity 0.75

The background bar/texture uses the 'bar' alpha to set a base level of opacity.

On top of this is drawn the background colorization, which is the colours specifiied for the BI and BU elements (though the background uses these values/4 to get a darker related colour), the opacity of these is 0.75 time the value specified (so that the underlying texture can show through)

The bar that shows progress of the spell is drawn on top of this, using the colour and alpha elements as specified.

The text is drawn next using the attributes for the TI and TU elements.

The texture is wonderful you've selected for the cast bars.
