Thank you for making Squawk.

After that's out of the way, here is my feature request:

Could you add Dash to the standard version? It's the one druidcooldown I can't yet track with your wonderful program and since I am about to try putting it manually after writing this post I don't know yet how successful I'll be.

Thanks

Thanks for the update, Adoriele. The new SAA is very nice looking and the disappearing debuff problem seems to be resolved. Now, if only those bars were rearrangeable...maybe is there a way to just have a bunch of individual bars with a snapping option rather than one lump of bars? I would love to group the cooldowns for trinkets/FoN/starfall in one bank, and the more common MF/IS/Eclipse in another.

Again, thanks so much for your hard work - and happy birthday to your wife!

Yeah, ordering the frames is probably my next order of business, I'm just trying to think of a good way to do it so that people can't muck it up easily (i.e. say you only have 4 bars active and give one an 'order' of 5. Do I put in empty space? Do I sort them by ascending order, ignoring the actual values?). I'm likely going to keep each subset grouped, i.e. all trinkets together, all procs together, etc, but I'll also put in a way to rearrange the groups.

I want to stay away from individual bars, because it makes things harder when saving their positions and moving things. I've been known to re-evaluate things I'm opposed to given enough time, though =P

I'm running into this same error with the eclipse CD bar not showing. Tried deleting/reinstalling the addon and saved vars to no avail. Tinkering with the settings hasn't resolved anything just yet, will post if I find a working solution.

I've never made an addon, but is it possible to let the user configure all the bars individually, and then sort of 'lock' them together as a group, leaving the group movable without touching the individual bars? I realize that this is sort of a pain, because if you want to insert a bar anywhere, it becomes difficult, but it's an idea.

I also like your idea - give each bar a 'position' value, and sort them, say, in ascending order. Keep us posted!

First of all thx for a great addon

I was wondering if you could implement timers going from the top and down for tracking long cd's like trinkets and FF, and that way make the addon a little more compact?

Um? You mean sorting timers by duration instead of the current fixed positions? It's not something I'm likely to do, as it would involve a lot of extra work (putting in merged bars is enough of an issue already in that regard) for something that is questionably useful (a lot of the reason I made SAA was so that I'd always be able to look at the same place for a lot of timers).

Edited a bit in your screenshot to try and illustrate what i mean.


Basicly the red area is tracking the trinket moving downwards. Maybe also FF, so that 1 or more of that bar type tracks the long cd's and spell durations

Oh, you mean vertical bars along the sides. Again, likely not something I'll end up doing as that's far too specific. I might do an option for making all bars vertical, but without making each bar completely individually configurable (which I'm also fairly against simply from a cost:benefit ratio) it'd be fairly difficult to make the idea configurable enough while also keeping the addon simple.

3.2 and squak?

will you conitnue with this addon in 3.2? I personaly would still use it, but i dont know how difficult it would be to setup seperate cooldown bars (unless its already set that way). are the bars setup so that in the possiblity of both eclipses being on cooldown it will allow for both to show?

Eclipse: The Starfire and Wrath buffs from this talent are now on separate 30 second. cooldowns. In addition, it is not possible to have both buffs active simultaneously

we cant have both buffs up, but if you proc lunar, and continue with SF during the cooldown and solar pops.. id still use this to know when each is on cooldown and mange dot timers

Yes, I will update this for 3.2. Likely I will just split Eclipse into two separate bars (though that does throw issues since they have the same buff name, shouldn't be too tough to figure out). I may try and come up with an intuitive way to see all three relevant data points on the same bar, though.

[edit] Actually, after thinking about it, SAA would work just fine without any changes. Since the buffs are mutually exclusive, once you have one up the ICD of the other no longer matters as it will always finish before the buff drops (except in PvP, I suppose), so you only ever need to see the duration of the buff you have up, and its corresponding ICD in case you have to spend 15 seconds not casting at some point and would prefer to know that both ICDs are finished. I'll still probably add the option to break the two apart, but it's much less pressing.

Hmm. I'll look into that, but it's rather odd that it's not affecting all the debuff bars. Try changing the value in the SavedVariables file, it might be an issue with the saving command.

[edit] Hmm, you fixed it? What was the issue?

Wow, fast reply !!! Beat my post delete. You were probably right about it being an issue with the saving command, i just removed my squawkandawe.lua from my druids /wtf/ folder forcing the mod to return to defaults.

After that I just re-set the mod up to my liking and I was good to go again.

Hrm. That unfortunately doesn't sound like it should work. IS (well, all the bars) had the location of its colors moved in the transition to 1.3. The old settings wouldn't have had anything there, and the new settings wouldn't look where the old settings were. I still want to look into this, though if you're able to change your color properly, I suppose it's not a huge issue.
