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.

I like it. Would you be able to add an option to switch the direction of the scrolling bar, please? Thank you!

You mean so rather than depleting (R to L), it fills (L to R) ? Or do you mean it depletes (L to R)

Filling Left to Right mimics the ingame castbar, so I will definately add that in as an option. Thanks!

The way the castbar shows above the target, filling from left to right, would be great! I appreciate that.

Yeap, would be awesome if the bar would fill from Left to Right!

Also the text, can it have a different color somehow?

If it can, whats the manual change we can do to change it, in case you like to keep it white etc.

Hi Adelea.
Very nice work, many of us have been waiting for this Addon

I've modified the code (based on 0.04) and added the following features to it:
* Detection and display of interrupted casts.
* Centered the text in the bar.
* Added option to show/hide the 'remaining' and 'total' seconds numeric values.
* Added option to set the text size.

I also changed the default settings for bar size, text size, colors, progress direction and shown details (well, that's because I initially modified 0.03 which did not have most of these settings ).

I'll send my modified code to your email so you can go over the changes and see what you want to include in future versions, if at all.

Thanks for your work,
Kalvir (Zelandonii on Steampike).

Edit: Eh, your email is blocked, please send me an email so I can reply with the code.

This addon is exactly what I needed. Very nice! I love that it can focus on a specific target.

Suggestions: option to change the alpha, as well as the thickness of the bar.

I know it's called Target Cast Bar, but i think you should include a personal cast bar replacement as well; if only to match. I know i can do it by setting 'this' to myself, but i'd like both bars available.

Regards.

I've stripped out some of the functionality of TCB and uploaded a new addon CBR (CastBar Replacement), that does what TCB does only for the player.

By thickness you mean height? Ultimately I am aiming to allow the size to be completely user specified.

As for alpha, for each element, or just an overall alpha for the whole bar ?

Thanks for the great add-on.

I would just like to clarify how the colors work for some people, so they don't go guessing the color values:

RGB colors are usually represented in the 0-255 range; to choose a color, just use any of the web color pickers available online, grab the RGB value, for example 255, 204, 51, and then divide each value by 255, so then for the end result you will type /tcb col bu 1 0.8 0.2

Cheers.

What is the trick behind disabling the reset 'feature'? When I exit the game, the casting bars for both target and self would reset to defaults... Or am I doing something wrong ?

Sounds like it isnt saving your saved variables.

Do any other configurable addons you have installed also lose their configuration?

How do you exit the game?

If you do anything other than Esc-> Logout, or /camp, then I dont think the game will save them.

Where is RIFT installed, and which OS are you using?

If it is Vista/Win7 and the game is in C;\Program Files, then I think you need to run it as admin in order for it to be able to write into those directories.
