The Buttons

Good News

Hey there, i just started to work on a new version of CooldownButtons, i dont have an ETA yet, but the basics are allready done! For more Infos you can check the support thread in wowace forum.

About

Q: Why did i wrote this addon?
A: I wrote CooldownButtons after i was annoyed from always being asked "Is your Rebirth ready?" And having no space for the Rebirth-Spell on my Action Bars to track the Cooldown there.

Q: Okay, and why aren't you using one of the X other Cooldown tracking Addons?
A: Couz they fail! I dont like to have Bars for my Cooldowns, and i dont know any other Addon that tracks Cooldowns without Bars and not on my Actionbars.

    Clickable buttons that fade out within 5-10 seconds (or not at all) in case we want to use them again

    I'm currently having a minor issue with this addon. The number 3 appears in front of each cooldown, regardless of the length or time remaining. It's an annoyance more than anything and adds a little extra clutter. I was wondering if anyone had this issue or knew how to fix it. Thanks.

    i am a hunter and the following is the issues with this mod for me

    1- as soon as i hit 80 all my trap spells are gone and only survival tree spell detects my traps any more
    2- icon for arcane shot is same as killshot and arcane shot is given name spellgroup-shoots
    3-the copy from different profile when u create a new profile doesnt work

    other than that this mod is great

    i'm using this addon with my death knight, and every time a rune type is on cooldown, it shows a button for every skill that use that rune.

    Any chance to fix it? maybe something like hide that skill that dont have a cd.
    i think there's no need to track runes CD with this addon, since it is easy to track with others specifics addons.

    and thx for the job, i love this addon.

    I have a problem with this addon. Some of the timers overlap instead of line up (as shown in the screenshot). Random example: If I use the Hearthstone, Sprint, and a Healing Potion, the Hearthstone would be in the first position for 60 minutes, the Healing Potion would be in the first position (on top of the Hearthstone) for 60 seconds, and Sprint would be in the first position (on top of the Hearthstone) for 3 minutes. I have not noticed (or can't remember) other ability timers doing the same thing as in this example. If I do, I will update my findings. Also, if this helps, I use Windows Vista with SP1 and my laptop resolution is 1680x1050 (wide).

    Very very nice! I always was seeking such an addon!
    Could you add a cooldown tracker for the disarm ability of hunters? I mean Chimera Shot + Scorpid Sting. The effect can only occur every 1 minute, but you can't see when that minute is over.
    Maybe a Cooldownbutton can be triggered by the disarmed-debuff on the enemy target. That would be awesome! :)

    Greetings,

    Great work - definitely prefer this to the bars that are so common. Two issues with a Paladin I'm encountering:

    1. Judgement timers are about 1 second off. The timer shown reaches 0, however there is still a 1 second tick left on the cooldown. Note I do have Improved Judgements, and the judgement tooltip shows an 8 second cooldown while your timer countdown starts at 7 seconds.

    2. Related to the above, if I cast anything in that last 1 second tick while the CDB timer shows 0, the CDB icon refreshes and shows the GCD tick.

    Thanks!

    As I've noticed this is the case with all cooldowns, I assume this is intended behavior. Or, rather, a side effect of using whole seconds for the countdown since when 0 is displayed it is actually counting down from .9 until 0, when 7 is displayed it's counting down from 6.9 until 6, etc.

    Thanks again.

    Love the mod. I'd quite like the mod to display the ready status of spells. At the moment spells disappear once the cooldown is up and I need to remember which ones are available (which is hard when you've got a memory like mine!). Any chance we can have an option to display ready spells or keep spells visible once they have finished cooldown?

    Cheers. :)

    Unfortunately I had to turn it off...It might of been because of a download conflict (started after I downloaded MBB) but it had one button...and i tried to move it...and then had 2....then 3....and so forth. They kept multiplying as I tried to move them, until there was like 10, and then it stopped. And i couldn't delete them, or call up the menu, etc. I really like this program too, a lot, because i hate those dang bars, like you do...but I also need MBB because I have too many buttons on my minimap.

    Any thoughts? :(

    hm i tested with mbb, no issues.
    but it would be cool to know what button duplicated :O
    the move buttons for a bar or the mbb minimap button?

    and the move buttons after furst start? if yes, ther are 3 enabled per default (items, spells, expiring) you have to hide them in /cdb config after placed where you want them =)

    As spinhalf mentioned Arcane Barrage is listed but not showing. Also, mana shield is missing. Fixing these would make it perfect! :)

    This is one of the best addons available for any class. I use it with every char I play and all of my friends also use it.

    The only thing I've noticed is Penance is not available as a saved button for a disc priest even if he has it talented. Can you please take a look.

    Thanks for this incredibly useful addon.
