missing casting bars

I'm wondering if anyone else knows why the casting bars for things like capping flags in the BGs or Outlands aren't showing up in my UI anywhere? I'm using Otravi Casting Bar from wowace as my cast bar replacement, but I would have thought these things would show up in the secondary bar like breathing underwater does.

I doubt it's your problem, but oCB is now at http://fuxsake.net/

Someone else has cbripoff at wowace also from when haste took his down IIRC

See you, auntie.

This proabably wont help, but the only thing I see on the secondary cast bar is my breath when I'm underwater. Everything else is taken care of with the main casting bar.

This is using oCB.

You were missing the () at the end of Feral Charge (Bear), this is necessary otherwise WoW thinks you're trying to cast Feral Charge Rank Bear.

See if there is a "mirror" setting or something to that extent - that controls all the channels and breathing effects, if I'm not mistaken.

Hmm... but using oCB you still are able to see things like the bar for capping the HFP PvP towers?

Well, there are two different capping bars.

There's the AB/AV cap channeling bars, which *should* show up in your normal castbar.

Then there's the EPL/HFP/Terrokar PvP objective capping 'bar', which has it's own frame. I'm willing to bet you moved your minimap somewhere towards the bottom of the screen - the PvP objective frame is referenced to the minimap, and by default hangs out underneath it, so will disappear offscreen if you stick the minimap at the bottom of the screen.

Clearly law school has done wonders for me.

hm. yes I've moved the minimap to the lower part of my screen. The actual pvp objectives that says stuff like "15/15 guard remaining" is floating in the top center of my screen right now, I didn't put it there though that's just where it appears.

I think the counters like the Halaa Guard status counter defaults to the top centre of the screen like that - same with AB scores and WSG flag status. But while you're capping an outland flag, like the towers in HFP, you get a bar below your minimap that slowly shifts from red to blue as the control transfers from horde to alliance - are you missing this?

ooohhh so its below the map itself. ok. I'm using simpleminimap and dragged the minimap down to the bottom-mid-left of my screen. Question is how to get it back then I guess, while leaving the map where I have it.

Ah ha! Simpleminimap was the culprit, I had to enable the Movers in order to get a drag box to move the Capture Timer around.
