FelCast

What it does

The cast bar is dressed by spell school: orange flame for fire spells, purple lightning for shadow, fel green for everything else. Tongues of flame play around the bar, and it keeps working under WoW Forever's combat restrictions.

A square with the spell's icon appears on the right of the screen 2.5 seconds before a DoT or curse on your target expires. It counts down like a heartbeat and plays a short warning sound.

Pressing another spell mid-cast does not close the bar. Use /felcast move to place it anywhere on screen.

Key features

• A cast bar dressed by school: orange flame for fire, purple lightning for shadow, fel green for the rest.
• DoT and curse alert: the spell's icon, a countdown and a warning sound 2.5 seconds before it expires.
• The bar stays open when you press another spell mid-cast.
• Move the bar anywhere on screen.
• Works with every class. Free and open source: anyone can use it, change it and share it however they like.

Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Move the FelCast folder inside it into World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\.
3. Close the game completely and reopen it (/reload alone does not load new files).
4. On the character select screen, check that the addon is ticked in the AddOns list.

Notes

• Beta 0.1.0: if you hit a bug, tell us.
• It only works correctly on the English game client: the color is read from the spell's name and the DoT duration from its tooltip.
• The gold glow shown when an alert ends only appears on Blizzard's own action bars.
• A resisted spell also starts the countdown.
