About Attack bar timer

This addon displays a progress bar for your on and off hand attacks, your ranged weapons, and your enemies attacks (and a few other things i.e. aimed shot). This lets you see exactly when you will attack again. it -should- auto detect attack speed.

commands

/abar, /atkbar

lock - hides the anchor

unlock - show the anchor

fix - resets it to "fix" it(DO NOT use in combat wait till ~5sec after)

timer - turn on and of the numeric timer

mob - turns mob enemy bar on and off

pvp - turns pvp enemy bar on and off

text - toggles textures

info - toggles bar info

Known issues

- This mainly affect dual weilders, but it times between combat log statements, not animation, so make sure that your combat log isn't being updated at the end of the bar if you suspect a bug. This is because the animation for damage usualy comes after the damage is calculated in and therefore reported in the combat log. There is no easy way around this.

-Let me know if any "on next attack" abilities dont reset the bar, I tried to think of all of them, But I'm sure that I missed a few

-For auto wand and auto shoot, it times between hits, not between shots, there is no easy way around this

- May get confused when rapidly entering and exiting melee combat.

- Enemy bar wont work with duel weilding enemies, I cant get hostile offhand speed to retur

- Enemy bar will be confused by multiple same named mobs attacking you, or by another character nearby named "You"

- Enemy bar may be confused by rapidly switching targets

Your bar should work perfectly if your not dual wielding

Up coming when I feel like it:

-pets(would anybody want this?)

-On that same note, a super configurable version will be out, likely allowing you to track your own pet.

-Hopefully a cosmetic update, the community seems to be less fond of the defualt look than I am

thanks to level matrix for their oh so adaptable frame

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Sorry about that, the parry was in there as a debug statement for my own use - I fixed it. Also the mob check got lost in the moved to the new combat log event, but I fit it back in. New version should be fixed, but let me know if you have any more problems.

Great Addon. Thanks for creating it.

Current Issues:
1. Can't disable mob/enemy attack bar
2. See "parry" pop up message. Requires me to "click" okay to clear it.

@tehrob: I do not plan on implementing an estimated time of death, but this addon may work for you. http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/234/. it is rather old however.
@basafire: You may want to try /abar unlock. If you want to move the on and off hand bars seperately, that is currently not implemented, but I might consider adding it (I am trying to think of a way that will cut down on bloat)
@Geotoxic: You may want to try /abar info. That toggles the info ans was just added in the last version.

I have been looking for something like this. More than time it is going to take me to attack again, I was looking for something that would tell me approximate time til death of the thing i was hitting. Any ideas, or possible addon to this addon? :) thanks.

On sword specialization: I am having a hard time getting down to exactly what happens when it occurs (I have a rogue so it duel weilds). How much after you hit does it swing? If its instant, it shouldnt matter, if its not, I have to account for that. Thanks.

With regards to sword specialization and resetting the swing timer, here's what the most recent relevant patch notes (2.1.2) have to say about that:
Sword Specialization: The change to Sword Specialization making its extra attacks appear in yellow has been reverted. Extra attacks will appear in white and act like any auto-attack. They will no longer reset the swing timer of your weapon.

O.K., I promise, I'm still here. Its been kinda busy lately - school just started. Thanks for all the bugs/comments/suggestions. response time:
@ttggg I actualy don't have much expeirience localizing things, I do know localizing it would reqire me to take all of my strings to constants and declare based on that. This is possible, just time consuming so I'd have to put it off a little.
@GraysonCarlyle Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can work that into the next update
@Clouds 2x The Sword spec bug fix is slightly old, from when the X-tra hit was reported seperately in the combat log and the swing cooldown was not reset. If I understand correctly, the swing cooldown does now get reset, so the bar reseting is O.K. Its been forever since I played my rogue, so I could be completely off. The text option I can put in an update you want.
Other info: Farbar is coming along nicely, I can pass it a unit id and it makes a bar to time that fairly accurately. Now to make some dect Interface for it.... this post is just to let everyone know that I am in fact still alive, and as soon as everything settles down I will be coming back to this.

-Sword Spec for warrior shouldnt reset auto attack timer anymore, quite sure ur addon still reset the timer.
-any east way to remove all these not too useful text on the bar, would like to see only time left to attack instead of 10 other things which just covers whole bar and make it really hard to read
