Request for ocb3

[Lighthammer]

I recently started using ocb3 and I like it a lot, however I find it slightly annoying that the channeled castbar doesn't show what spell it is and it's not as wide as the normal cast bar.

Here's the castbar for shadowbolt:


and here's for rain of fire:


Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks for your work, brilliant addon.

[Athene]

May be possible, I'll look at it ^^

I think I'll add the possibility to choose font and font size because it looks fuzzy with other UIScales.

[Rhena]

Its not provided by the ui by default. The blizzard bars don't show it either. You would have to change quite a lot of code to make it work.

[Athene]

For the mages it's possible with simple logic, evocation gives a buff and Blizzard doesn't so we can guess which spell is being channeled by looking at the buff.

Now for the warlocks it's another thing...

[Lighthammer]

Thank you Athene! The font thing would be nice too, I personally enjoy the font that is in the addon now, but more choice is always better^^

One solution to the channeling thing might to just make the castbar be equal to the width whenever something is channelled, instead of the width minus the icon size.

But I don't know much about lua programming heh..

[Athene]

Also we can guess the spell by looking at the channeling duration :p

[Lighthammer]

Yes indeed, the icon itself is not that important. It just bugs my OCD that the bar shrinks whenever I rain fire and brimstone on my unfortunate enemies, or summon a vast demon from the nether to undo the pity mortals who stand in my way (and possibly a priest or two).

[Rhena]

What you actually do is hook the casting methods to save the last spell that was requested to cast and when the start channeling event occurs its the saved spell.

[LYQ]

athene had the casting methods hooked anyways for the lagbar addition, so I think as well that would be the simplest option

[Athene]

Yup it's the simplest and so far it works.
I just need to see if BabbleSpell finds an icon for every spell and it'll be alright, for the channeling part
