    Combat Metronome (GCD Tracker)  Updated this week!  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: v1.6.4
    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

    ! 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.

    I can get the option to work with "Trap Beast" in the 'ABILITY TIMER ADJUSTS', and it appears to work fine.
    However, as the original poster pointed out, most other items do not work.
    I can use a numeric value in the field such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and those are accepted but I have no idea what those represent.
    Is there a list somewhere of valid options/entries for this setting?
    Why is Trap Beast, or Unstable Wall of Fire an acceptible entry when 'Unnerving Boneyard' is not?
    The ability timer adjusts was an option to fine tune the cooldown applied by each ability. it was mostly just a fine-tuning option for some abilities that felt wrong. Since the addon just uses a generic cooldown system.

    Unfortunately I can't tell you why some menu options are breaking now. It looks like something has changed in the libraries or ESO. I haven't played in years at this point to be honest, so this isn't high on my to-do list

    Custom Ability Timers
    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble setting up custom ability timers. Is there a guild on how to do this?

    The Red zone is your Ping/Latency. It shows the delay from your client to the server and is important for timing.
    You can disable if you really want by setting "Max Latency" = 0 in the Addon Settings.

    Exclamation Fix soon
    Hey all, I'm aware of the issue (saw the private messages in my email) I will push out a fix by the end of today Tue 3rd. I'm gonna put some checks in so that the next time ESO messes around with globals it doesn't break

    Getting the same error as others, and I even updated the API version. It isn't specific to location as I'm logging into a base game zone.

    this lua error is caused by the lib addon that combat metronome uses, "DariansUtilities". make sure you disable the lib as well.

    i am also getting this exact same lua error. combat metronome still works for me however, at least the gcd bar does, which is the only part o the addon i use. just annoying to have the lua error display every login.

    Hey! It's been a while since I've played so my memory of weaving might be slightly off, but I'll try to explain how this addon is supposed to work.

    So this addon shows one of two things:

    1) The GCD invoked by the last ability you cast. This is what you see most of the time. For LA ability weaving you're aiming to LA, then trigger an ability after the LA has been registered by the servers. So in this case you're aiming to start your LA for your next ability as the bar hits the red latency section; since that should roughly correspond to the earliest time at which, when the LA gets registered by the server, your GCD should be over and you can cast the next ability to animation cancel the LA. At least that's how I think you do it

    2) The cast/channel time of a heavy attack. This one is way simper - It's just showing you how long you have to hold a heavy attack in order to get the maximum damage and resources. I don't believe you can get away with releasing much earlier if you have latency because I don't know which calculations are done client-side.

    This addon probably pairs well with the LightAttackHelper if you want some visual counter feedback to know whether your LAs are registering.

    To directly answer your question, I don't think it really matters too much. Unless your latency is significant. The important part is that you allow a small amount of buffer between your LA and ability to avoid clipping it entirely rather than just cancelling the animation. The latency is more just an indicator of how long that buffer might be, rather than a fixed guide.
    Thank you for such an in-depth response, this is really helpful Im also going to post this to our discord so my members can see it

    Important Note: For anyone experiencing gamebreaking issues with the Addon please PM me. I don't check this site actively anymore, so you will get a significantly delayed response through commenting on the project!

    DariansUtilies is a module contained within the base Addon. I don't know why this wouldn't be working properly. Maybe this is an installation problem, in which case just try reinstalling. It also might be worth double-checking whether out of date addons are loaded (maybe you have an older version of CombatAuras installed?)

    I don't know if there is a way to set individual UI elements sounds different from others. But I never really looked in depth at it, since I prefered having it quiet anyway. I checked briefly on the API and it mentions "You can also play with volume by modifying audio settings before playing your sound (settingId = AUDIO_SETTING_UI_VOLUME)", so maybe fiddling with your UI sounds will help; or some solution where you store the old volume, adjust, play the sound, then revert the volume. I don't foresee getting around to working on new features for ESO Addons anymore until I have a significant portion of free time and no other projects
