Spell Channeling Bar (v2.01, May/22/10)

[[ToX]grohn]

What's this mod?
It displays a bar that indicates the progress of channeling spells. It displays how long your hero has been channeling a spell for, and how much longer until the spell's completion.

While channeling, the bar is yellow. When your hero stops channeling (either through spell completion, or being interrupted), the bar turns purple.

When the bar is not being used (ie. your hero is not channeling anything), it will be hidden so that it does not obstruct the interface.

Also works for items. :HomecomingStone::PostHaste:

Also works for creeps (the vulture man), and allied heroes with shared control.

Configuration
Customization requires Movable Frames and Mod Options Framework

Configuration options:
-Show fade effects: If enabled, the bar will turn purple and fade out when a spell finishes. If disabled, the bar will abruptly disappear when you stop channeling.
-Show spell name: If enabled, the name of the spell being channeled will be shown on the bar.
-Show gloss: If enabled, the bar will appear glossy.
-Show icon: If enabled, the bar will display an icon of the spell being channeled.

All of these settings will save to your configuration file and will preserved after closing HoN.

[[E]Evil_Andrex]

This should be part of the game, its so simple and so many other games have it

[Soodi]

Next step to make HoN more like WoW. But it's fitting perfectly in. Good job

Note: Not working together with TinyUI

[Farmbot]

Great job. Suggested this a long time ago, nice to see something done about it.

[[ToX]grohn]

Fixed tiny ui incompatibility. Use the alternate file supplied in the OP.

[Keshoon]

Amazing! I've been waiting for something like this!

[FreshM]

kudos

[Yuniie]

Incredible ! Thx a lot !

[[OPN]HONsoL0]

Wow aweesomeee!

[MaxGhost]

Could we eventually get a way to move this around? I use Target UI from Barter's mod in that area. (I didn't test it out yet, so sorry if there already is a way to do it)

[[RAZA]gwho1]

THIS IS JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
this is most useful when using Kraken's ult

can you make this compatible with tinyUI?

[[ToX]grohn]

I'll work on making it movable.

can you make this compatible with tinyUI?

Kraken's ulti isn't a channeling spell. It is a delayed effect. As such, this does not affect kraken's ulti.

It is compatible with TinyUI, you just need to use the alternate file.

[[RAZA]gwho1]

can u do something for delayed spells too?

[[ToX]grohn]

can u do something for delayed spells too?

Kraken's ulti displays a buff, so just use: Improved Buff/Debuff Indicators by Vadi
There is a .honmod version in the Master Repository

[GeForceFX]

It doesn't work with scout's ultimate. :/
