RiftMMOAddons

A curated collection of addons for the MMORPG RIFT, maintained by Truediff.

Provenance: This repository is a fork of bctrainers/RiftMMOAddons, which hosts a much larger set of addons. This fork was trimmed to only the addons that are actively maintained here — everything identical to upstream was removed. If you're looking for the full original collection, use the upstream repository.

Notice: Some addon files in this repository are modified from their original source — primarily cosmetic changes and maintenance fixes. There is absolutely no warranty or support for the code or addons. Some addons carry their own licenses and are hosted here because the original host is no longer online.

GCDDisplay

Version: 2.04r1 · Game API: RIFT 4.5 Original author: Adelea@EU-Icewatch · Current maintainer: Truediff

A lightweight, movable bar that visualizes the Global Cooldown (GCD) after every ability you cast, so you can time your next ability press precisely.

Features

• Animated spark bar that drains (or fills) as the GCD expires
• Optional ability-queue marker showing where the next ability can be queued (adjustable 50–500 ms before GCD end)
• Optional numeric countdown timer with configurable font size and position
• Bar direction modes: left-to-right or reversed, drain or fill
• Optional color fade towards a second color as the GCD ends
• Customizable bar width, height, background opacity, and colors (RGB sliders or hex input)
• Visibility modes: always visible, only while the GCD is active, or hidden while casting
• Test mode: a repeating sweep so you can position and style the bar without being in combat
• Movable via right-click drag, with an optional position lock; the bar is clamped to the screen so a resolution change can't strand it off-screen
• Full in-game settings window — no slash commands required
• Per-character settings with optional account-wide mode (per character opt-in; bar position always stays per character)
• Non-GCD abilities are detected and ignored

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository.

2. Copy the GCDDisplay folder into your RIFT addons directory:

   .../RIFT Game/Interface/AddOns/GCDDisplay
   

3. Restart the game (or reload the UI) and enable the addon on the character select screen.

Note: Version 2.04r1 or later is required since the 2026-07-14 RIFT client update — addons without an Email field in RiftAddon.toc are silently ignored by the client.

Usage

Type /gcd in game to open the settings window. Every option is available there: visibility and behavior toggles, bar size (sliders plus editable value fields), background opacity, font size, queue marker time, text position, test mode, and both colors via RGB sliders or hex inputs with a live preview. The window itself can be moved by dragging its title bar.

All options are also available as slash commands:

Configuration

Settings are stored per character in the saved variable GCD_Settings and persist across sessions. When account-wide mode is enabled, settings (except bar position) are mirrored to the global saved variable GCD_GlobalSettings and shared by every character that opts in. New options introduced by updates are merged with sensible defaults, so upgrading never wipes your layout.

See CHANGELOG.txt for the full version history.
