  • About Antagonist
  •  

Antagonist is a lightweight, easy-to-setup enemy cast bar addon utilizing Ace2. It tracks enemy cast and channeling times, buff durations and cooldowns.


What does it do?

  • Tracks enemy casting times
  • Tracks enemy buff durations
  • Tracks enemy cooldowns
  • Smart bars which adjust to the flow of combat
  • Lots of things explained below...

What won't it do?

  • Track the player's buffs/debuffs
  • Track the player's spell durations
  • Boss timers

Features

>Target and Focus casting and channeling bars >> Description >> Will adjust to show delays when the units are damaged. >> When you target one of these units a bar and they are casting/channeling a spell then a timer will appear with the time left on that cast. This will also update an already existing timer if it was started from area scanning.

> Smart Fading (Optional) >> Description >> Bars will fade out if the enemy they are tracking dies. >> Buff bars will also fade out if the buff is dispelled or removed by the caster (e.g. Ice Block canceled early).

> Click Behavior >> Description >> You can click on the bars to perform quick functions. >> Right Click - stop the clicked bar. >> Shift + Right Click - stop all bars from the clicked bar's group (casts/buffs/cooldowns). >> Ctrl + Left Click - filter the spell which the clicked bar represents.

> Filter System (Blacklist) >> Description >> This allows you to configure which spells you don't want to see timers for. You can see an example in the first screenshot.

> Self-Relevant Option (Unreliable) >> Description >> This option will only show cast/channeling timers if the player is the target of said spell. This is still in beta as sometimes the target of the spell being cast isn't the target of the casting enemy.

> Appearance >> Description >> The bars are heavily customizable. You can configure the following: height, width, scale, color, font size, texture, fill direction, growth direction. Antagonist uses SurfaceLib for texture handling, this allows it to use other textures from all addons using SurfaceLib. >> Each anchor also has a title which you can enable. You can change the title's text, color and size.


FAQ

>Q: Will you ever add boss timers? >>A: The short answer is no. Antagonist already shows all casts performed by your target and focus units, this includes bosses. However I will not add boss specific timers. This would create bulk. I recommend BigWigs for a complete boss timer package.

>Q: Will you ever add tracking of player spells and buffs/debuffs on the player? >>A: Again, no. Tracking of player spells is done very well by Chronometer. I see no reason to reinvent the wheel when its already a pretty good wheel. If you want an even smaller addon than Chronometer then you could use one of the FuBar_ClassTimerFu addons.

>Q: How do I access the configuration? >>A: Antagonist has three forms of configuration. >> Console - /ant. >> Dewdrop - /ant dropdown >> GUI - /ant gui

>Q:What are the tags I can use in the bar text? >> A: >> $s - Spell name >> $n - Player name >> $t - Target of Player (casts)

>Q: How do I make the bars all show up in one place? >>A: You can do this by setting the showunder setting of each group to an anchor number. >> Procedure: /ant gui to open the options screen. Expand the Group submenu on the left. For each group, that is Casts, Buffs and Cooldowns, set the showunder value to the same number.

>Q: How do I move the anchors? >>A: Type the follow to toggle the anchors /ant lock.

    Hey guys,

    Not sure yet if I'll be updating this for Wrath. As I'm unsure whether I'll be playing WoW at all.

    I recommend Afflicted by Shadowed over at WoWInterface. I collaborated with Shadowed during a period when I was developing some unreleased work. Funnily, the work was new editions of Antagonist and Gladitor which was my arena unit frames which btw predates proximo but w/e. Point is: he is a top developer. Great respect to him and his work. His addon Afflicted is similar to Anatagonist. It doesn't track casts afaik but who needs that these days with all the unit frames and the great Quartz. It does have a spell filter and has more display options than Antagonist. So really, there's no reason not to use it :) Link below http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8063-Afflicted.html

    Thanks for appreciating my work. Sorry to abandon this project. If I do come back to WoW seriously, you can bet I'll look into rewriting this incorporating the ideas I've thought of over the many months. Provided, the proof of theory works of course :)

  • Please update for 3.1, it's the only enemy spell watch addon that actually has a fliter. Best addon ever, don't let it die! :(

  • jsharon1: Do you have any plans to make a version of Antagonist that works with 3.1? I know a lot people (including me) would appreciate it greatly.

    It's not my addon so I can't officially update it up top but I do have a working version that I fan updated down below. Just copy paste the link into your we browser. I had to load it up on a separate section of the site. I tried to make a new project for the fan update but curse said due to a lot of people updating addons that aren't theirs it would just be pulled down. so this is the best I can do till Sole comes back and acually updates it.

    Hi Jsharon1,

    When I try to update your addon (big fan btw) it says the latest was 08/9/29. Am I doing something wrong or have you not updated the site as per your comments on 08/11/14 for Wrath.

    Thanks.

    Fur.

    There was nothing wrong with the coding of the plugin. The database of skills players could use was out of date for 3.0 and when it tried to load up any of of the abilities that were removed it crashed the whole plug in. once I get a full and finalized listing of death knight abilities I'll be adding those in also but beyond that I'm pretty new to this whole wow plug in deal, so well see.

    Heres an updated version of Antagonist I whipped up for wow 3.0 with all updated buffs and CD's being tracked properly up to lvl 80 when wrath hits. Death knights have not been added at this time but functions with all the current classes

    One guy there in the forum said antagonist was updated for the newest patch but I don't know where to find it.

    Where do I find the latest version which works with patch 3.x?
