I don't know what is the problem but the tick sound doesn't work for my russian client =(( (EW works)
Soul Drain in russian is "Похищение души"
May be i can change somewhere in addon code the name of the spell to make the tick sound work?

Thanks for this great addon. I've got a suggestion, though. What if we were able to customise the colors of the messages? (and yeah, I know I can change it by configuring the .lua file but testing is just painful xD)

Hello. I have EW but I don't have any sound or raid warning announce of the "tick" of drain soul. Does anyone know what is the problem?
P.S.: I have russian client, so the spell is not "Drain Soul".

Oh yea, I did wanna mention some cosmetic changes I made that others might like...

As I said, this is a great addon... but since we cast Drain Soul a LOT I figured the sound effects needed to be a lot more subtle so I wouldn't quickly get sick of hearing em. So I found some free sound effects online and changed em as follows:

Execute warning:
http://www.pacdv.com/sounds/interfac...ts/sound98.wav

Tick warning:
http://www.pachd.com/sfx/pop2.wav

These sounds meld into the background just enough to give you the hints you need without distracting you, I think. I did have to amplify the volume on these sound files a little, though, since boss fights can be pretty noisy.


Other minor tweaks I made to various lua files:
1) I changed the execute warning text from "FINISH HIM" to "DRAIN SOUL EXECUTE!".
2) I changed the tick warning from "!Drain Soul!" (which didn't make much sense to me) to "-TICK-", and changed the warning color to the same purple as the execute message, to help tie the two messages together and distinguish em on a crowded screen with other raid warnings flying around.

Have a good one!

First off, awesome addon!

While playing with it today I did notice a bug... after setting the config options and logging out, upon logging back in it remembered the text field info (min HP), but reset all the check boxes to their default settings.

Also, very minor, but I was playing around with the localization file to tweak the warning text... could you break "DST_String_DrainSoul" into two separate entries? It uses that text both for the spell name AND the text for the tick raid warning, meaning the tick text can't be customized.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fix its a great addon

How do we change the sound its a strange bomming noise..

It does get rid of the annoying popup at the start anyway, so that's a plus. I'll check how it goes when I've raided again. Fingers crossed.

I tested this last night in Naxx 25 and didn't see any issues.

I spent some time with it and I think I might have a solution.

Edit the DrainSoulTimer.lua file and move the PlayerName = UnitName("player"); line from DST_OnLoad() to DST_OnEvent(). I also made it local so DST_OnLoad() should look like this :
function DST_OnLoad()

DST_Sound = true;
DST_Raidwarning = true;
DST_RWColor = {r=0.0, g=1.0, b=0.75};
DST_EWColor = {r=1.0, g=0.0, b=0.75};
DST_EWarning = true;
DST_EW_MinHP = 180000;

EWPlayed = false;

SlashCmdList["DrainSoulTimerCommand"] = DST_SlashHandler;
SLASH_DrainSoulTimerCommand1 = "/dst";
end


and DST_OnEvent() should start out like this :
function DST_OnEvent(event,...)
local info = ChatTypeInfo["COMBAT_MISC_INFO"];
local PlayerName = UnitName("player");
local eventType = select(2,...);
local srcName = select(4,...);

I haven't raided yet so I dont know if something will break with the changes but it looks to work.

I'm here as well. I'd like to be able to use this but can't given the current status.
