NextGCD

NextGCD is a Midnight-safe World of Warcraft addon that presents Blizzard Assisted Combat recommendations in a custom UI.

Current Features

• Primary next-cast icon driven by C_AssistedCombat.GetNextCastSpell(true).
• Keybind resolution for Blizzard bars, ElvUI, Bartender4, and Dominos.
• Experimental 2-4 icon queue using C_AssistedCombat.GetRotationSpells().
• Custom live-preview settings panel for layout, queue, media, and behavior controls.
• Built-in theme presets: midnight, ember, sage, ash.
• Built-in font presets: default, narrow, bold.
• Direct theme tuning controls for accent RGB, panel opacity, border opacity, glow opacity, and shadow opacity.
• Primary-icon pulse effect and stronger visual framing.
• Slash commands for quick control.

Slash Commands

• /nextgcd or /ngcd opens settings.
• /nextgcd toggle enables or disables the addon.
• /nextgcd lock toggles frame locking.
• /nextgcd reset resets the panel position.
• /nextgcd defaults restores default settings.
• /nextgcd theme midnight|ember|sage|ash swaps theme presets.
• /nextgcd font default|narrow|bold swaps font presets.
• /nextgcd help prints the quick command list.

Settings Coverage

• Appearance: main size, scale, panel padding, panel spacing, glow, cooldowns, counts, and unusable dimming.
• Theme: accent RGB sliders, panel opacity, border opacity, glow opacity, shadow opacity.
• Keybinds: visibility, size, uppercase toggle, text outline.
• Visibility: combat and out-of-combat alpha, combat-only mode, vehicle hiding.
• Queue: enable, experimental toggle, count, size, spacing, keybinds, cooldowns, labels, below-main layout.
• Behavior: frame locking, queue toggle, glow, cooldown swipe, and primary pulse.
• Bar Support: per-source toggles for Blizzard, ElvUI, Bartender4, and Dominos.

Scope Notes

• The primary icon is the authoritative display.
• The queue is intentionally marked experimental because Midnight publicly guarantees a stable next spell more clearly than it guarantees a full ordered queue.
• NextGCD acts as a presentation layer for Assisted Combat rather than a custom rotation solver.

Known Follow-Up Work

• Extend settings with direct color pickers instead of preset-only themes.
• Add clearer vehicle or override bar handling diagnostics.
• Add more precise support for action bar variants introduced after the current Blizzard multibar set.
• Add screenshots and packaging metadata for release.
