The thing with oCB or any casting bar only mod is that it is self only. It's not tied to a frame, it just shows your particular information. If there was an enemy casting bar, people would ask for a focus casting bar, and maybe hey, even party casting bars since these are all possible with the Blizzard UI.
Non-self casting bars are a unit frame feature now, and since an addon to just replace the default Blizzard castbar isn't at all related to unit frames, why make a replacement mod so?
mEnemyCastBar (an agUF plugin) already can add castbars for every frame you want.
yes, it has, in latest changes made by some guy, not Haste, and wich drew him so mad. in fact, both of additions wich some that guy made (spell icon and enemy cast bar) are already mentioned in incoming features in original OCB.
wich is kinda funny but ok =)
btw, if anyone going to support this addon, i have to requests
a) Spell Icon - really nice thing i should say
b) Config Menu via Dewdrop. realy pain in the ass to tweak mirror cast bar - find a pool, jump in, yeah.
everything else is ok. for those who want enemy cast bar - really, tyr Antagonist. its awesome, you can turn everything off exept enemy casts, and it has a lot more.
Don't think that there was a oCB version with an enemy castbar in the svn. One with spell icon was there though - I don't have the "original" version anymore, since I modified it to look exactly like candybar.
(3 candybars at the top from sorrentimers, the drain life is oCB of course)

Use DeuceCommander adds Dewdrops menus for (almost) every Ace2 Mod which has /commands :)

I don't believe so. I believe that agUF/mECB suit their purpose purely *because* they are a set of unit frames. I think that including an enemy cast bar module in oCB would be a perfect addition to it because the only other person you're tracking is your enemy. You're not tracking anything else (nor should you be) with oCB. It's very much an act/react type of situation with a single target, especially for me as a Mage and with the nerf to counterspell effectiveness.

I'm going to disagree with you. As a mage I prefer Antagonist and WitchHunt to provide this to me. I don't want my cast bar getting gummed up with non-self "features".
I'd rather have a standalone enemy casting bar ^^. Just something simple that shows what my target is casting. No need for overkill like Antagonist.
Must agree with this one.
if its a small thing, i'd love to see it implemented.
since the default blizzard interface has an enemy castbar under the enemy portrait,, the feature should be easy to copy.
whether it should be implemented into bartender, ag_uf, or cbripoff,... i can't judge.
but i'd still like to have them back :P
currently using ECB (ecastingbar) it's memoryfootprint is hardly noticeable.
but well, it doesnt work with the ace2 profiles, and isnt updated as easily. still, it works ! :)
what we really need.... a modular bar interface. (think hostel + ocb + mcastbars + ocd, but modular)
castbar
enemy castbar
partycastbar
target/tot castbar
hot tracking
dot tracking
enemy buff tracking
cc watch bar (poly/shackle/stuns/disorients)
short term buff bar (self, like SnD)
cooldown bar
enemy cooldown bar
diminishing returns bar
All should be movable, sortable, resizable (a la ocd). also if you could set it up to easily sort things into "groups" similar to how sorrens timers do it, it'd help
currently many mods do many things... but none are modular, most overlap, can't be tweaked that little bit needed, and it's causing us all problems :P ps, if i missed one, yell at me, i'm just going off the top of my head.
but well, it doesnt work with the ace2 profiles, and isnt updated as easily. still, it works ! :)
god, can someone please teach me how to use profiles with ace2?
may be i am thick as a brick but i spent hours searching wiki page about it and ace2 simply doesnt have /ace profiles command, as ace1 did.

For starters i find that it REALLY helps if you have Fubar + DeuceCommander installed. :)
the rest comes naturally really.
well i do realise every ace addon can use profiles based on character, class etc BUT
correct me if i am wrong, in ace you can load every addon with same profile.
its pain in the ass to assign a new profile for every ace addon i use when i roll a new character.
is there any way to make it for all addons at once?

/(addonslash) profile choose Default
As already suggested, just use Fubar/DeuceCommander to have direct access to this.

REQUEST: CBRipoff doesn't currently handle the flight timer, as whenever I'm in flight, I get a default Blizzard progressbar. Would it be posible to add such functionality to CBRipoff?
I hope this request doesn't generate as much backlash as my last one (that started this thread).
To Note: I'm using FlightMap and Cartographer. I'm not sure what generates the flight timer specifically.

dont bloat the horse.
Thought I was going mad then, I knew I had enabled it recently.

I use Miles Enemy Casting Bar, it's for ag_UF. mEnemyCastBar http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=5488
I wish it was included on the SVN or in the default ag_UF...
