What is HotCandy ?
- It displays Bars for the HoTs you cast using CandyBar
- In future it might display HoTs of other People, only that those HoTs are not near as accurate :/
using Revision 12540 the color of the mana bars changed from nice dark blue to a distracting light blue. Couldn't find an option to change that. Is it a bug or a feature?
Bye Achaz
Thats a feature. Maybe i can bug saroz to allow customization to the bar colors, or he allows me todo it :D
When i start to cast, and like instantly jump or move to cancel the Cast, it fires SpellStatus_SpellCastInstant, but the spell had a cast time :)
If i jump mid-cast, it still fires SpellStatus_SpellCastCastingFinish
I assumed that is only supposed to fire when a spell cast was successful, or is there another way to detect if a spell cast was actually successful ?
One thing that has always disappointed me about this unit frame is that the buff/debuff tooltip doesn't show time remaining when appropriate.
I haven't exactly figured out the fix (will post a diff if I do), but the code that needs to change is in ag_UnitClass.lua in this function:
function aUF.classes.aUFunit.prototype:AuraOnEnter()
if (not this:IsVisible()) then return end
GameTooltip:SetOwner(this, "ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT")
if ( this.buffFilter == "HELPFUL") then
GameTooltip:SetUnitBuff(self.unit, this.id, self.database.AuraFilter)
elseif ( this.buffFilter == "HARMFUL") then
GameTooltip:SetUnitDebuff(self.unit, this.id, 0)
end
end
I have figured out that if you use GameTooltip:SetPlayerBuff() instead of SetUnitBuff("player") the tooltip shows the time remaining information.
According to the page on wowwiki, it sounds like it will work with debuffs as well as long as you call GetPlayerBuff() first.
Anyway, if someone else can figure this out before me, that would be great. I will try to look at it myself when some more when I get a chance.
This function only works with the players buffs, not with target or party buffs. but for your own buffs you could certainly try to hack it in. although i am still using default blizzard buffs :)
On a different note, the sizing on bar4 is off compared to the other bars (at least compared to bars1-3 and Bonusbar). I set the rows of bar4 to 1 and set it right above bar 3 on my screen and it is visibly a different size. All bar settings are the same.
If you want a screen shot I would be happy to provide that as well as any other information you need.
Ive my Bars3 and 4 directly above each other as well, and they look perfectly the same, check your padding and scale again, maybe :)

Tables are handled via reference, and there is easy way to copy a generic table, so your approach seems fine.
Altho lots of people requested the old mana bar color back, in my guild and here and on irc.
an option to customize all colors would rock :)
BTW Saroz, oRA2 offers spell cooldown information as of today.

I remember someone requesting that from the Dewdrop author, but no luck. Complain to them

Ive noticed that as well, but as it looks, its kinda hard to detect if a spell was canceled mid-cast. We can only hope that its improved soon :)
The shaman buff, no idea, i dont have a shaman neither know i any, since i am alliance :D
