CoolFloat is for people who like the stock Floating Combat Text included with WoW, but would like to be advised when their spells and items are off cooldown and ready to be used.
WARNING - ALPHA VERSION! CoolFloat is very much in development. See the comments for known issues and fixes. In particular, several fine-tuning settings have no UI for editing yet. A read-me file is included with guidelines on finding and editing these settings.
Optional Files - CoolFloat
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Okay, I BELIEVE I've got the double-post issue fixed. Please let me know if you encounter double listings of completed cooldowns, or cooldowns which fail to announce when they're done.
The strings that control what the announcements look like are now stored in localization.lua, and in CoolFloat_locale in the account-wide saved variables folder, to make them easier to customize (if for instance you don't like the <> brackets).
Well, I think I've isolated WHY abilities sometimes get double-posted when they're ready, but it'll take me a while to fix it.
I will probably be adjusting the text presentation to make it a little easier to customize.
Groups are a sound idea, and several other cooldown mods support them, but I'm not likely to add them until there's an actual UI implemented to configure them...this is usually the hardest part of any mod and will be a while.
Originally posted by Alestane Well, it's really designed to to enhance that feature rather than run on its own, but, um...
A brief review of the Blizzard code suggests that it might work if you remove references to SHOW_COMBAT_TEXT from the last major function listing in CoolFloat.lua in the ~WoW/Addons/CoolFloat directory.
Or, try turning Floating Combat Text on, but then disabling all the different options listed under it.
Well I must admit I feel pretty silly for not thinking of enabling the blizzard fct then disabling all the options
But I would much rather just adjust the code, thank you for the information I found what you mentioned very easily.

I glanced at the readme file and couldn't find an answer to my soon to be asked question, if it is infact in the readme just post "readme" and that'll be that.

I first would like to say thanks for this addon its exactly what I was looking for since I dont use any of those bloated SCT addons. But I have a problem and one suggestion. First, sometimes I get a print out of prowl is ready twice, one right after another and it seems to only be prowl lol.. Now for my suggestion, anyway instead of or another skill filter on what is shown is maybe actually put which skills you dont want it to print? I want to have this addon do nothing 10 seconds b/c I want it not to say when prowl is ready but I want it to say when taunt is rdy. Other then that get and keep up the awesome work..
