    Nothing special, just gives a warning and/or plays a sound when drain soul ticks and when the target's health is in execute range.
    Should work with any client, the language is only german and english though (but you're welcome to translate it to any other language )

    Slashcommands:

    /dst
    shows the config.

    - changed the toc to interface 3.3

    Version 2.1
    ====================
    - added the config to the interface options addons panel
    - changed the code to use spellIDs instead of spellnames

    Version 2.0

    - removed the old slashcommands

    Well, I had some issues in RL, sorry for the break.
    I've added the GUI now, changed the tick sound and fixed that annoying bug (thanks Noryia )

    Oh, and feel free to correct my engrish, if the translation is kinda strange

    Overwrite the "tick.wav" file in the Sound directory with your soundfile.

    Or you could search in "DrainSoulTimer.lua" for the lines
    Code:
    if(DST_Tick_Sound) then
	PlaySoundFile("Interface\\AddOns\\DrainSoulTimer\\Sounds\\tick.wav");
end
    and change the path to your soundfile.

    Config bug
    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!

    Cosmetic changes
    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!

    So, i changed the code to work with spellIDs instead of spellnames (so you don't have any problems changing the localization), and I added the config to the interface option addon panel.
    I'll test it when I get home from work.

    The colors could be changed in your SavedVariables, i was just too lazy to add an option ingame

    And I'll check the bug with the checkboxes

    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".

    That's the problem.

    Will be fixed when I remember to test and upload the new version at home *sigh*

    New update: the problem with the checkboxes is fixed, and dst is using spellIDs now, so you shouldn't have any problems with other clients

    Suggestion
    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)

    Re: Suggestion
    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?

    The language shouldn't be a problem anymore.

    Do you see the Raidwarning for the ticks?
    And probably obvious, but do you have the "play tick sound" option in the config checked?

    btw, I really begin to hate that stupid API

    I grabbed the new version and everything quit working... so I deleted the DrainDoulTimer.lua file in WTF/account/realm/toon/SavedVariables, restarted, and it was fine.

    Might wanna try that?

    Do not have folder "toon" there, only folders named like me characters.
    I have deleted SavedVariables from the folder that is named by my warlock's nickname but still no tick sound =(
