Broadcaster

[Seerah]

Broadcaster is my first "real" addon, and is a result of myself wanting a mod to announce random (hopefully humorous) messages for polymorph and other spells.

I would like to thank people on irc who helped me learn how to do things, and just listened when I was frustrated. The messages in this addon were either taken from other addons (such as Cryolysis), the WoW forums, or were made up my myself and my guildies/friends.

Broadcaster reads directly from the combat log, and won't announce the message unless your spell is successfully cast on your focus. (Yes, it requires you to set your poly target as focus to work.)

How to use Broadcaster:

• Install Broadcaster like any other addon
• If you don't have one yet, set up a macro for polymorph so that it sets your poly target as focus. You may also have it set to resheep your focus so that you don't have to change targets.
• Join a party or raid and cast one of the supported spells.
• If you or your group wishes you to silence Broadcaster, type /broadcaster standby or go to Interface Options to put it into standby mode.

Broadcaster currently supports the following spells/abilities:

• Mage: Polymorph, Portal, Ritual of Refreshment

In the future, look for these additions:

• more options
• more messages
• support for more classes' spells, such as banish, rez spells, summons, etc.

WANTED: Translators!

In the latest version, I have started adding support for localization. But I don't speak any languages fluently (except english, but that's sometimes debatable ). So, I need your help!

In the Broadcaster folder, there is a folder called "Locales". Inside that folder, open up enUS.lua and change the word "true" to the translated text. Also, the MageMessages.lua file needs translated as well - you can do that however you wish, just keep them numbered, so that it is "translated message", --1 and then "next translated message", --2. That way, we can keep them all organized, and we will be able to see when new strings get added that need to be localized.

When you're finished, please attach them to this thread and I will add them to the addon.


THANK YOU!


edit: I currently need translations for all locales.

If it's posted as a beta version when already in the beta downloads category, does that make it a beta-beta?

1.1a (in beta section): Added support for Pally's Redemption, Priest's Resurrection, Druid's Rebirth, and Shaman's Ancestral Spirit spells.
These currently have the same rez messages set to them.
Was not tested - let me know if it all works.
Also, I hope that the %t in the messages is good enough for you to get target's info. Blame the Blizz combat log, etc for that. -.-
