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

5/22/08 (1.1a in beta section) - rez spells added. See the beta version, as it was untested. Need localization for messages (currently all four classes pull from the same set of messages)

5/18/08 - Mage stuff split out into separate module, and localization support added. TRANSLATORS NEEDED!
Also, directory structure has changed. You may want to delete your old Broadcaster folder before updating.

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. For polymorph, it 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're a mage and 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 use a supported spell
• 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:

• Druid: Rebirth (beta)
• Mage: Polymorph, Portal, Ritual of Refreshment
• Paladin: Redemption (beta)
• Priest: Resurrection (beta)
• Shaman: Ancestral Spirit (beta)

In the future, look for these additions:

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

Note: This addon has only limited features and options thus far.
