About Cooldowns
A World of Warcraft add-on that displays numeric cooldown counters on buttons and other icons with cooldowns.
*** Having Problems? ***
Before posting a problem report, please make sure you are using the most recent release and try resetting all Cooldowns settings using the Defaults button in the Interface Configuration window. If your settings got messed up somehow during the recent updates, setting them to defaults may solve the problem. If that doesn't help, and you still don't see cooldown text, try adjusting the pixel width setting to a smaller number (default should be 27). If that doesn't help, post a problem report and make sure to include which other addons you run and any special configuration changes you make so I can try to replicate the problem. Also, if you run an older version because newer ones are not working for you, let me know. Otherwise, until scientists invent the teleporter and I can port to your computer, there isn't much else I can do for you. ;)
*** NEW FEATURES IN 4.2 ****
- Users can now set the minimum pixel width for cooldown text display. Cooldown counters will not appear on buttons or other cooldown icons that have a width smaller than the number chosen (except for the quest watch buttons which always show cooldown text). The default is 27 which is between the size of the standard player buff icon and the standard unit frame debuff icon. The standard action button width is 36 pixels. Scaling a cooldown icon using another addon until it is smaller than the selected minimum width will cause the cooldown text to stop displaying on that icon.
- Now checks higher up the frame hierarchy for a named frame for filtering. Should allow filtering for addons with buttons that had nameless immediate parent frames.
*** NEW FEATURE IN 4.1 – FILTERING ***
Too many cooldown texts all over the place now? What happened? I made Cooldowns work with any visible cooldown in any addon (bigger than width of 27 pixels). But now there is also… Filtering! Check out the Filtering tab in the Cooldowns configuration panel. You will see a list of all the UI frames that Cooldowns is aware of and you can uncheck the ones that you don’t want to see cooldown text on. Don’t want to see cooldown text on Bartender4 bar 6? Uncheck BT4Bar6. Don’t want to see text on WeakAuras icons? Uncheck WeakAurasFrame.
*** NEW FEATURES IN 4.0 ***
- Can now configure the minimum cooldown time for cooldown text to appear. Used to be hard-coded to 1.5 seconds. (thanks OptimusSupernova)
- Better support for other addons including TellMeWhen.
*** NEW FEATURES IN 3.0 ***
- Can now select whether cooldown numbers flash the alternate color or display it as solid as the cooldown nears zero.
- Can now select fonts in the addon options panel from a dropdown list containing all known in-game font names.
- Text file in the addon folder contains list of known in-game fonts.
- Cooldown counters now displayed on the spell button flyout frame (e.g. priest chakra).
Configure colors, fonts, and other options through the Cooldowns interface options panel.
Please see the readme.txt file for a tutorial on how to configure fonts in Cooldowns.
* 4.2.3
- Fixed problem caused when rebooting computer while long cooldown is running

I consider this the number 1 single dps boost and this is a critical add-on for MOP. Knowing when and the anticipation of spells is essential. Please make a top priority for going live with MOP.
I've been using this addon for a long time, simple but effective. However, for 4.3 sometimes it doesn't work, I hope the author can update for the latest version, thank you!
Hi
great simple addon, BUT it doesn't work for Macros. LIke:
/cast [harm] Shadow Word: Death; [help] Circle of Healing
eeedit: also doesn't work for prayer of mending (no macro)
By the way: I also like coollines - for a grafic overview - when the next spells are ready. (a better equivalent is fortexorcist btw).
unsuccessfully.
please! upload the file to download.
tks!
Great mod, simple, straight to the point. Way better than OmniCC because it doesn't mess with your debuff cooldown displays like that mod forces you to.
Copy what CCCC_Guy says... works great now!
I believe it's broken again as of 4/5-2012. Could someone else confirm this aswell?
I am having an issue with my shadowpriest's cooldown in regards to my shadowfiend spell. I am spec'd into Sins and Punishment, so everytime I crit with Mind Flay (which is alot) it lowers the cd of my SF by 10 seconds. After a few crits, my "Cooldowns" add-on and my real timer are off, and it is throwing off when I am expecting that cd to end. I 've seen it still say 50 seconds when it was off cd. So you can imagine what it did when I actually casted it, it just stopped working until next cast. Is this fixable?
I instaled thise addon 13-02-2012 and it says out of date and it dosent work. There are no updates. What to do? plzz need HELP!
PARKER JUST SELECT TO LOAD OUT OF DATE ADD-ONS IT STILL FUNTIONS AT 100%
Thank you, cccc_guy, for the fix-it post. My cooldown works well now. Those timer numbers are so much easier to see than Blizz's own shading method. Anyone feeling blind without it should scroll down to his post and follow the instructions to alter the original script. Sadly the original author for this addon doesnt seem to be around anymore.
hola tenes ese addon pero ara la vercion 4.0.6 gracias
go cccc_guy, we're waiting for pet cooldowns update :D
After i use an ability once i cant see the cd the second time. It gets back to the default shade ring. I would like this addon to be updated. I really want to use it again.
thanks ccc_guy! its great it works again. but my pet abillities CD wont show anymore...can you fix that too ?pls :)
