Thank you for changing name :)

...and I like the name -- nice choice. :)

Yes Great Evl. So you were in an active mood :) A very nice name indeed

Would be nice to add support for hunters talent called Readiness. In alphabetical order:

["Readiness"] = {
"Intimidation", "Kill Command", "Scare Beast", -- Beast Mastery
"Aimed Shot", "Arcane Shot", "Concussive Shot", "Distracting Shot", "Flare", "Multi-Shot", "Rapid Fire", "Tranquilizing Shot", "Viper Sting", "Volley", -- Marksmanship
"Counterattack", "Deterrence", "Disengage", "Explosive Trap", "Feign Death", "Freezing Trap", "Frost Trap", "Immolation Trap", "Misdirection", "Mongoose Bite", "Raptor Strike", "Snake Trap", "Wyvern Sting" -- Survival
},

21 point talents not needed since you have readiness.

Added in latest revision, thanks for the patch!

Thoughts on linked cooldowns, e.g. hunter traps? 1 bar > 5 bars.

I don't have any relationship to the hunter class other than that they have those annoying pets and never outdps me, feel free to make a patch though :)

Damn, now I have to clean the coffee off my keyboard...

What is diffrence this addon from CooldownTimers2 ?

Feature request? Can you send a message to SCT whenever a spell cooldown elapses?

Nice. It's not just hunters. Shaman shocks, Mage wards, probably lots of others have linked cooldowns.

So I've written something mainly for my self but I thought I might as well share it here.

He already said it's mainly for himself and doesn't play the class you're asking for support for, and you're acting like he's obligated to code your request just because you need it.

If you want features or fixes make patches, code doesn't write itself.

I've included hyperChipmunk's groupedCooldowns patch in the latest revision, if you look in core.lua you will see:

local groupedCooldowns = {
-- 	[" Trap$"] = "Traps",
}

uncomment that line, for shocks replace Trap with Shock, this is untested.

OK, cool. That works for traps.

I added

[" Ward$"] = "Wards",
[" Shock$"] = "Shocks",

to groupedCooldowns for Fire/Frost Ward for mages and Shocks for shaman. Not sure if there are any other spell groups that should be added.

This change likely breaks the Readiness chainedCooldowns support. I inserted

for pattern, replacement in pairs(groupedCooldowns) do
 if (string.find(chainedSpellName, pattern)) then
  chainedSpellName = replacement
  break
 end
end

before

self:StopCandyBar(...)

in UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED, but I can't test it because my hunter doesn't have that talent.

Thanks.

Edit: Dawned on me that Frost Ward is affected by Cold Snap, so I just did test that change on my mage. Looks like it works fine.

I'm a noob when it comes to coding, what do I need to do to group those trap bars? What does uncomment mean?

I did some modifications to the code, for 2 things:
- pet cooldowns, in the original version only player cooldowns are tracked
- announcing the cooldown expiry as an SCT message

It's pretty crude, but does most of what I'm interested in. One drawback is the announces for trinket cooldown expiries show up as "Trinket0Slot Ready" and "Trinket1Slot Ready", must be a simple thing to get the name of the item, I'll be looking into it tomorrow.

I attach the modified file if you think is a good idea to add those features to the SVN version (sorry for not providing a diff, but I haven't figured yet how to generate it :) )

Edit: well I was stupid, wasn't passing the proper name to the message, so trinket names show up properly now. I've updated the attachment with the corrected file.

Uncomment means "remove the characters that make the line a comment". Specifically, where the line is -- [" Trap$"] = "Traps", the -- at the beginning of the line tells the system "skip this line". Remove the two hyphens to "un-comment", then save the .lua file, and it should work the next time you run WoW.

Works wonders, thank you so much!

Attached diff implements scaling of the bars and a scale variable in the db. (Changing scale while a bar is running does not change the scale of that bar, only new ones.)

I tried to manually add the .diff information, and the item shows up in the menu but doesn't seem to effect any scales.

Is their a specific program I should be using?

I think the only features I would like to see right away are Scaling, Font Choice, and Font Size.

CDT just started giving me trouble today, so it was nice to see your mod here. Keep up the excellent work.

-DR

Can you add an option to reverse the coloring so that the bars start red and get green as the spell cools down and would also love an option to have the bars fill instead of deplete. :)
