Version: v1.5.2

by: Darianopolis [More]

The All-in-one Combat Timing bar.

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.

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):

Bar texturing and border ?
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

Left % is your current stamina

They can each be turned off in the addon settings

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

Looking around a bit, the LAM library has changed, and I'm wondering if there is a dependency that's causing the issue. I'm playing with it a bit and will report if I find anything. I'm not implying that you should fix it either, if you've moved on from the game that would be inappropriate to ask of you. Just chiming in, just posting in case someone who is a lot better at coding LUA than I am is looking.

Thanks for making this, it's been one of the most useful things I have in the game.

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.

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.
