Combat Metronome (GCD Tracker)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: v1.6.3
by: Darianopolis, barny
The All-in-one Combat Timing bar with the update all of you guys have been waiting for!

Since Darianopolis can no longer maintain the Addon, I will probably do further updates only on the "optional Update", as it is easier for me to maintain. - barny

Should there be any bugs, feel free to report them on my ESOUI Portal.

! Fixed time adjustment on exhausting fatecarver depending on crux
! Fixed: Channeled abilities or abilities with cast time are now interrupted by block, dodgeroll or barswap
! Fixed a bug after resizing the cast bar in unlock mode
+ Added options to display remaining time, spell name and spell icon on cast bar for spells with cast/channel time
+ Remaining time label and spell icon now move according to bar alignment
+ Added option to stop HA tracking
+ Added option to show the cast bar permanently
+ Added fancy mode.

IMPORTANT: I no longer play ESO and can't actively maintain this addon.
I have enabled "Allow Updates & AddOns" if someone wants to keep this release working with new ESO API and library changes.
Anyone is absolutely free to use this addon and adapt, modify or build it into any project you're working on.
I would love to see some version of this addon continue, but I don't have the time or available classes to re-install ESO and properly maintain and bug-fix for all of the different classes and abilities on new builds and changes.
Track your heavy swings, ability cooldowns and cast/channels all in one bar to help you perfect your rotation timing and take advantage of abilty queuing with live latency information.
Now includes optional Ultimate tracking.

To access the addon settings quickly, enter the command /cm

This addon's counterpart "Combat Auras" has now been released! (You can see it in the preview)
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2408-CombatAurasAbilityTimers.html

IMPORTANT - This addon and "Combat Auras" SHOULD always be updated at the same time. They share a common library to improve perforamnce, and there is a good chance on any update that I've made changes to this central library.

IMPORTANT: There have been changes to the central library. Combat Auras probably won't work after you updated Combat Metronome!
Thanks for Seltiix for prototyping the initial sound cue system.

Dependencies:
  • LibAddonMenu-2.0
  • libAddonKeybinds

Features
  • Heavy attack + Cast / Channel + GCD tracking = Consolidate all of your combat timing into one bar
  • Displays your ping live on the bar to allow spell queueing with live latency information.
  • Timing adjustments. Firing abilities too early or too late? - Fine tune the displayed GCD / heavy timer / cast / channel individually (or globally) for ANY ability to best suit your play.
  • Auto hides - Keeps your UI clean
  • Flashing animation on health percentage during execute
  • Keybind to force display + show absolute health
  • 'Tick Tock' sound cues for audio feedback
Future Features (No guarantee or time frame):
  • Light attack miss alert ? (Audio/Visual alert to provide feedback and improve timing reflexes)
Known issues:
  • Some types of cast cancels are not tracked
  • Rarely, ground targeted abilities (E.g. Endless Hail) won't trigger a timer

Blacklist Option?

Is there a way to blacklist an ability? If not, is this something you are willing to implement? I was messing around with Stamcro and Siphon counts as a GCD ability even though it is off the GCD.

Hi there.

Is it possible to update the addon version and remove LibStub since it's deprecated and no longer maintained?
From the library's esoui page "LibStub was replaced by features in the game and won't be updated anymore!".

Error message is: "[LibStub] Warning: LibStub is deprecated, but has been called by one or more addons. See LibDebugLogger output and addon description for more information. You can disable this message by using the /libstubwarning command."

Keep up the great work

I actually adjusted it with -50ms

What I still dont understand is what the "tock" sounds signifies - only that an ability has been cast / a timer has started?

This Addon looks great! How does it work?

Hi! I can't find a description of how this addon works, or how I'm supposed to use it. Are there instructions somewhere?

Thanks!

Another few questions:
- What do the 2 sounds do exactly?
'tick' sounds when the GCD is over? Basically where your next skill press should be in sync with? meaning the Light attack has to be before the sound?

- so what does the 'tock' do? (offcycle really doesnt explain anythign for me :-/)

- I noticed that the HP switches between Value and %, but I think that is when the focus changes to a friendly target (pet, or NPC?)

- Does the red part signify my ping while the whole bar is the (adjusted) GCD/cast time?

- Is there any indication for when a LA should be at this point? Any indication for the time between LAs?
(Indicator for missed ones is planned, I read that).
If not, I think this addon would work nicely with "Light Attack Helper"

/agree it is not superclear

This was unintended after I messed with the visibility code, it's fixed in the new update.

Thanks <3

I've added a toggle for account wide settings.
I didn't feel it was necessary to add a convoluted settings copying system - There isn't a global profiling system like in wow (I might have a crack at that ) - So if you want to copy your options across quickly:
1 - Go in game and tick the global options, then log out (you need to generate the AccountWide settings first, unless you're comfortable manually writing the entry into the SavedVars file ofc )
1 - Find your User Folder (https://wiki.esoui.com/UserFolder)
2 - Open the file live/SavedVariables/CombatMetronome.lua
3 - Replace the entry for $AccountWide with the settings from your main (the entry key will be a long number, and you can cross reference the settings with your in-game ones to check you've got the right set

CombatMetronomeSavedVars =
{
["Default"] =
{
["@YourAccountName"] =
{
["5820......232343"] =
{
copy settings from here...
},
["$AccountWide"] =
{
...to here
},
},
},
}

OR you could just copy your settings manually in game - Whatever floats your boat really xD

P.S. @Jadax
If the timing isn't quite right with super high ping, you can adjust the maximum displayed latency in the settings. I have it set by defaults to cap at 150ms, because I'm not comfortable that the systems works very reliably at high latency anyway xD), but you can always increase or decrease it to your liking.
